Cambodia and Armenia being at war without major alliance stuff would be fucking nuts.

Left libertarianism is great and serves as an effective counterbalance to many issues. Right libertarianism is often foolish at best and rarely includes the freedom to do things like live your life as you please

Not really. West Virginians are more stereotyped as uneducated and impoverished. Like you expect some bigotry, but the kind that can be soothed over by a few pies and a couple years of hard work alongside them in the community.

Regular Virginia on the other hand, is stereotyped as a middle class, very white, former confederate state that’s gone swing in recent decades. You don’t expect someone to start saying overtly racist shit because they’re Virginian, but if they do, it’s gonna be bad and you’re not shocked.

Wait he used emo music too… Like, panic slaps, but it’s really not his vibe

Shocked it’s regular Virginia and not west Virginia

There are many times you can’t afford a lawyer, sometimes without your finances changing it suddenly switches to you not being able to afford not to get one. This is one of those times.

Any time a government official tells you to ignore legal advice run to your lawyer

Holy shit that’s hilariously bad

Party of governmental efficiency!

Must not could

I don’t have independence, I have a wife instead. Could I be independent of her? Sure, but we really would rather that not be needed.

Oh shit that first link is exactly something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been linuxing from gui for a while and would like to know more, especially as I fuck around with my home server

A private business keeps accusing you of operating a meth lab using city water, now they get to sue the city water provider for not cutting you off. That’s basically what this is

Trump, losing manufacturing jobs? Unthinkable, what does he think this is? 2017-2020?

Yeah I work in manufacturing, Biden was good for business, Trump has been awful for it both times.

That’s fair. I’m in manufacturing so I associate it with physically difficult trade labor, low paid administrative labor, and low paid repetitive and boring labor. Some uneducated people develop plenty of skills, that said, my degree was a shortcut to skills and a direct path to a good career. The deal has gotten worse over the past few decades, but we still need people who have traditional educated knowledge. And I fear that we may face serious problems if education rates plummet.

The general education also had a drastic positive impact on my personal development as well, but I’m not rich enough to pay tens of thousands for that.

Give fresh a try. Canned green beans tend towards mushy where fresh have some crispness. A lot of people who like it swear by some trick, and I really think that upgrading the beans is the best strategy, upgrading the soup is risky with good payoff if you do it well, and upgrading the onions is something that I always see people suggest whenever fried onions appear and it’s a crazy increase in effort for at absolute best, very little improvement.

But what do I know I’m the cheese and potato casserole/mac and cheese relative.

Yeah I went to a cheap state school for an engineering degree. Sure I still haven’t paid it off yet, but it was definitely financially worth it. Even more worth it if you consider how much I don’t want to do uneducated labor for a living.

Ooh thanks, I’ll have to check it out!

I think it depends on size and relationship. Nobody brought anything to my grandparents (either side) until I started to. But it was always 10-11 people. Except when their same age siblings came, they’d bring something (much younger great aunt was never considerate of oma and opa). At my in laws’ we cook a dish. If we lived in town I’d probably bring a casserole, but even before we moved far away we still were hours away and you don’t want to leave a casserole for hours.

Friends though, always bring a dish except for the ones friend who has made it crystal clear that she doesn’t want people doing so because she’s insane and shows her love through elaborate meal planning. For her we just try to keep her liquor and wine cabinet overstocked and demand she let us help her with anything she wants.
