Honest question for americans: do you guys use armored doors for your houses?

I’m reading of ICE breaking your doors to enter your houses and I’m here in my house, with an armored door that makes demolishing the wall an easier way to break in my house (and that it’s the norm here) and I wonder if you shouldn’t be using those or, if you already do, what kind of tools do ICE have to break your doors.

Sharif is not politically active, but in 2024, some campaigners came to her shop and told her that Trump would be good for business and against the LGBTQ agenda.

“I was immediately hooked,” she said

Well, Sharif, FUCK YOU. You were immediately hooked because he was going to hurt other people.

And now he’s hurting you (on top of them).

Cry me a river, Sharif.

Obama? Why blame Obama when you can blame immigrants? They’ll add LGBT+ people to the mix for… reasons.

One can only hope!!

Only the turd? I feel we’d be underplaying them. Why don’t we offer them the whole US government, scotus, senate and congress and call it even?

My experience with Animal Crossing started on the DS with Wild World, as I’m sure it did with many others. The game drew me in with its colorful villagers, daily routine, and slice-of-life feel. Years later I got back into the series with New Leaf on the 3DS, putting hundreds of hours into it. The progression system felt just right, and the level of customization for my villager was a real treat. However, when I finally got a hold of New Horizons on my switch, I couldn’t help but feel let down. Rather than a town that felt like it moved on when I didn’t play, I felt like I was in total control. Villagers would have to beg me to let them move out, rather than just leaving on their own. Everything felt a bit too… Doll-house in its design?

Are you me? No, wait, I started with the gamecube game back in the day, but for the rest… are you me?

I got new horizons expecting it to be just a better new leaf and it was a huge let down. I spent hundreds of hours in new leaf, I barely made 40 on new horizons and only because I had friends to “play” with (if you can call it play, the game was so empty of everything!). Even the upgrades to shops and the house were a letdown.

I will definitely try the mod, because I miss the old animal crossing a lot!

I find it funny how it’s been a couple of days that we are seeing “this is the last straw” articles.

There shouldn’t be a “last straw” because in a normal functioning country, the first straw would have gotten him in prison for high treason.

And that first straw is not even from the last year.

America, you fucking elected a child rapist that 5 years ago orchestrated an insurrection and even publicly rooted for the people that invaded the capitol!

If only someone would have warned them he’d do exactly that (among the rest of terrible things he’s doing)…

But alas, only half of their own country, all of europe, most of asia, whoever watching from oceania, almost everyone in south america and anyone following from africa told them this would happen, so how could they know he would do it?

I know. And I still want it. Why? Because if people here don’t give a fuck about safety (neither theirs nor that of others), then at least we should force them to have the bare minimum to be accountable.

Would it be better if they did it in a different way? Probably, but I know this country, and I know people don’t give a fuck about other when they drive any vehicle, so yeah, give me this, make them pay an insurance and get a license. And fuck them all, because we can’t have good things here.

Cancer? Yeah, you’re probably the only one with a strong desire to try it out.

Out of curiosity: have you ever been to Italy and see how people drive here? That number of 80% of ebikes being illegal might make a flashy number for you. But I live here and that number not only seems correct, it actually looks on the lower end.

I probably see at least 20 different delivery guys each day. If I see one that’s pedaling, that’s maybe… once a week? That if I’m lucky. They are largely ignored because, as the rest of the traffic related stuff, authorities do shit about it.

Sure, they take a day and stop a hundred bikes and most of them are illegal and they call it a day. And with that, they think they solved the problem, but the fact is there is a huge number of those that are illegal. Although it doesn’t surprise me at all, this country is shit when it comes to enforcing traffic laws in general.

Legally, e-bikes here can’t go over 25km/h. And in any shop you try to buy one, this is the norm. However, to put a throttle on them is so easy that you rarely see an e-bike with someone pedaling.

Is it unfair for those who follow the law? Probably? But when I think as a citizen, not just as a biker, in my country, e-bikes are a problem to my safety even as pedestrian.

It’s more like starting to ask people to have some rules after 80% of the e-bikes checked in a police checkpoint were illegally modified

Yes, but in practice, even if the bike is sold while being legally compliant, the modifications are far to easy to make so anyone can do them.

Sure, if they catch one, there’s a huge fine, but there are so many that’s impossible to catch them all.

Fuck them!

They voted pedohitler knowing he’ll deport non-whites only because they thought they were part of "the good ones*. They wanted the turd to deport other latinos.

If there is a collective I am greatly enjoying to see in hell right now, that’s the non-whites who voted for him. They deserve all they are getting now.

Italy here. I LOVE bikes, I do part of my commute by bike (the rest by train) and I wish my city made even harder for cars to drive in the city in favour of bikes.

With that said, we need a law like this here because e-bikes are a new kind of hell for everyone:

• Most of them are easily modifiable so they reach up to 50km/h without having to pedal. Making them electric motor-scooters.

• Because of this, they are basically a free for all: no need to respect traffic laws, red lights… fuck, they even pass pedestrians in the sidewalk at speeds that are superior to the speed limit of the street for car

• Also because of this, you better pray to not get involved in an accident with one. If you are on foot and get hit by one, they will simply run and let you in the ground. And if you are in a car… well, tough luck because you’ll have to pay for your own repair even if they caused them.

And most of these assholes work for delivery companies like deliveroo, just eat and similars.

So yeah, since we can’t have nice things, give me a law and fuck all these assholes dearly.

Mate, the other option was demented toddler.

I’d say not having demented toddler in charge was an extremely decent alternative, even if it’s only because she wasn’t a russian asset planning to destroy the whole western (and possibly the rest of the world too) and with the power to do so.

I don’t think the second option is viable.

You have whole states loving the pedo unconditionally. And they would need to sign a constitution that specifically bars them to try and summon a new trump.

They simply won’t sign it. So you better start thinking as separate states that join to stay relevant and hope the red union that will shortly after form doesn’t have imperialist aspirations. Otherwise you’ll be in for a second civil war.

Yeah, I’m sure you’ll be able to vote the alternative by the end of the year in the mid terms.

Mate, unless you revolt, you’re gonna be the fascist states of america before the child rapist kicks the bucket.

You elect a demented toddler and you get demented toddler diplomacy.

WE

FUCKING

TOLD

YOU.

Yet, demented toddler was somehow better than decent woman in their heads… and here we are now.
