  • Not saying it would change much, but there has not been a governor of Florida that wasn’t Republican since 1999. 2003 they produced 22 billion pounds of Oranges. 2026 they are unsure they can produce 1 billion pounds. That’s with technoligical improvements for planting, harvesting, etc. So maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree, but shouldnt the government step in, find a way to mandate getting rid of the diseased trees and the underlying causes and transplant something successful that would be immune if you can’t remove the causes, like Italy and France did when they worked with California to transplant all their vineyards because they would all die from root rot until they found out the roots in California were immune, and grafted the grapes onto those roots and rebuilt everything?

    What is government for if an industry so large in your location that it is the default license plate is completely dying with “no known cure.”

    Oranges from Florida have always been sweeter/juicer or whatever than those from California, while Californias are more shelf stable. But the reason you get orange juice made in Florida… Is for that reason. It tastes better. Maybe Florida should be telling the federal government if they want to launch rockets/shuttles from and retrieve them from their shores, they need the federal government to give a fuck about their issues.


  • I still use jerboa quite often but have been considering moving. It worked well for a couple years but the last month or two there are stupid things like, not being able to scroll back up through the comments where it’ll get stuck, or if I collapse a comment, and try to reopen it the content is blank so I have to exit the comment section and reopen to be able to the top of the comment section and start over. If it is a long comment thread you then have to scroll slow because if you miss the comment you collapsed by accident you can’t scroll back up to find it because the first problem. At that point I just give up on that and move on.

    I made a post about it in the jerboa thread a month ago, it appears to be happening to more than just me, and across multiple devices, even someone on graphene said it was happening to them.


  • The claims in this post say it effects games moving forward, no games bought previously. And that the game isn’t uninstalled or anything of the sort, it means if you haven’t connected to the Internet in 30 days you would have to connect to open the game. (Not sure what the reasoning would be, maybe they are trying to ensure people do updates, not sure). Someone else claimed above that it is fake all together, but I haven’t verified it.

    The real issue here for most people to me would be if a game is eventually removed from their network and whether or not they remove the check in requirement if the digital game is removed. (Aka would the game be lost forever because Sony stopped hosting it, even if you had a copy on an external drive).






  • I get why people say cryptocurrencys are a scam, but the whole proof of stake shit makes lot more sense if someone were trying to protect all of society from say mass inflation in places like Venezuela or something.

    The revolutionary w.e he was talking about had to be proof of stake, making it use 99.9% less power than things like Bitcoin.

    The alternative choice was always the same, control by the U.S. or China. Really not many other options.

    If people cared about the environment they wouldn’t use Bitcoin, if they cared about people, they wouldnt use the U.S. dollar and such. Every country in the world supports the U.S in doing so…

    We need better alternatives, etherium may not be it… but surely there has to be a better way to keep people from suddenly plunging into poverty when they don’t have control of their government.





  • The issue is that they are NOT doing this for healthcare costs, or any other reason other than telling others what they can do. If it was for healthcare costs, it would be everyone, so you can rule that out from jump. So why did they say 18 and under, because they weren’t sure if they could get a large enough following to say yes is they went to high, so divide and conquer. Find enough people who don’t care about the minority, and they can get it to pass. Why 18… Because they mostly have no say. If we relabeled it to non-whites can’t buy cigarettes, people would be like woah that’s racist, but the attempt would be the same, trying to control what others can or can’t do while not restricting enough of the majority to lose their votes.

    Under 18 can’t smoke is like saying under 30 can’t cat call people on the street, under 40 can’t slap their coworkers on the ass, under 50 can’t beat their children, and under 60 can’t rape minors.

    Either they are all bad/wrong for society… and should be banned for all, or they are manipulating votes as a plot to slide something else by under peoples noses while playing it up to look like a good guy


  • They won the bet, got the money… And the money was fake gold. (Leprechaun gold). It disappeared. So they were out the money. Not sure if gambling was legal or not, so I don’t think trying to report someone as stealing your gambling wins was feasible.

    Anyways, yeah the only professional game in the books we saw was the exact scenario that people are complaining here would never happen. As in he caught the snitch to save themselves from complete embarrassment. A score of 370-10 or some shit looks a lot worse than just losing by a few points and putting off the inevitable




  • Id guess killed off / habitats destroyed. What little i have read they were commonly misconceived as having a higher population than they do, as most cats are nocturnal and hunt mostly at night staying hidden during much of the day. The Jaguarundi are diurnal, and so they would be seen out and about throughout the day thus making people think we see them all the time, surely there is more. The world population may be as low as 35,000 according to estimates (up to 230k), while living across 4.5 million sq kilometers.




  • I used/use it a lot, became the standard when I was on AIM.

    Mostly I feel people use it for tone and switch between the two. Then again I also respond with k too often apparently and have had spouses bring it up to me. “I’m going to pick up hot dog buns on the way home” k is apparently not always the proper response to such things apparently.

    K, lol, cool/kool, alright, nice, oh… Apparently make up a lot of what she calls my NPC responses.

    It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that there really isn’t a reason for me to send a flushed out response while I’m in a rush and or trying to respond at a red light. I’ll see them soon, if i thought something else should be picked up at the store when they were there id either say so or call if I thought it warranted a quick discussion.

    If I ask do you want tacos, sure is a perfectly valid response, we’ve shared a bed for 5 years… if I don’t know what you do and don’t like on a taco I wasn’t paying attention, if you want something you usually wouldn’t, then it makes sense to say more
