Did people do this 20 years ago?

Undershirts.

It’s not like everyone in the country needs to ride it daily. The US has plenty of people. You connect population centers. And if you can build on flat land rather than Japan’s mountains, you’re on easy mode. Really you’re the one that needs to reframe things.

High speed rail. Japan’s is 200mph.

Musk’s hyper loop was a scam but various others tests were 288 mph. Could go higher.

New York state has a whole bunch of power over the city too. I think the city had real bad finances a long time ago and part of bailout by the state came with a whole bunch of power.

We can’t bomb North Korea, they have nukes!

Do you come from a land of plenty?

Statistically, no.

My trick is to park further away but on a straight line to the entrance, not diagonal. I think it’s often shorter.

Now that I think about it, some fucking chainlink fence enclosures with chainlink roof would have stopped those drones.

I had a very cold shower once until I realized the way that one knob faucet worked was you had to turn it an insane amount to get to the hot water.

You can sometimes see the white collar part, unless that’s just it being weird how it sits on me.

I thought it was in unison but it certainly didn’t have the giant goose stepping.

Ratalaptop.

I’m curious what happened to the rat of the laptop?

Squeeze it into a big pot. Stir somehow, or maybe not. Maybe pick it up and shake it while it heats up.

For the future you can get loose popcorn kernels.

At this point you’re the one being pretentious.

They want to “reserve” features looks and styles for expensive cars to make you upgrade.

Labor Day.

As for pride, it’s because they were (still are) stigmatized, shoved into the closet, persecuted, beat up, and even killed. It’s a moment for them to say we’re here and we belong. Maybe we’ll get to the day when no one cares.

As for the rest of the list, I think you’re vastly overestimating how much political time (as in Congress and similar state) this gets. It’s a parade, it’s not trying to write new legislation.

we live in the West and it’s a free country.

Yeah unfortunately to some people that doesn’t matter.

Other than the one famous for being first.
