I mean, it used to be "go outside" to feel better, to treat depression, etc...

I mean, red states don't like undocumented immigrants, and everyone seems to love "States Rights" so would is there anything wrong with Blue States just setting up their own requirements and procedures to obtain Citizenship in Blue States? Let them vote in all Statewide Elections. Essentially just make this like the American version of the EU, Citizenship is with the States, and if the Federal government is being a dick and doesn't give them Federal Citizenship, well fuck them, Let States decide if they are welcome or not.

Hi, I'm from Germany and here people can drink unlimited amounts of beer and wine in public at 16 years old and at 18 you're allowed to also drink every other strong alcoholic beverage publicly such as Vodka.

I hope this question is not too weird (if so just tell me and I'll delete it).

There was talk of this Mayday sit in at the DC Mall, but for people outside the states it seems like everyone capitulated. I understand corporate media would not want to report on it, but is there anything happening on the ground where you live?

I was wondering if you only had very little money to survive with, what cheap groceries would you buy in America?

Hey everyone!

I have a bad habit of impulse buying the most random stuff, but to my credit, most of those turn out awesome. If you wanna hear about great impulse buys, that'd be a good topic for another "ask" post (which I will leave as an exercise to the reader).

Not the best, not the worst. The one that most makes you go "meh, you're ok". Or the one you keep forgetting exists.

I think this is the ultimate red line that the US crossed from a democracy to a fascist authoritarian country. Here are my points:

E.g. freelancers, contractors, small businesses, etc.

I always wondered how Americans are so resilient. Do they have some secret? It seems like they're always confident and hard working no mater how hard the situation is. I'm trying to work on myself and America always used to be my role model

I do target shooting as a hobby but I'm genuinely curious. The US is known (for better and worse) for it's culture of gun ownership but the US is also know for widely differing experiences

Trying a text post this time, but feel free to respond with GIFs like before if you'd like. Also taking suggestions for future posts. Emojis?

Personally, I've moved most of my investments into money market funds and plan on buying the dip, just like the multi millionaires. Other than that, I'm getting stocked up on shelf stable foods, and trying to get to know my neighbors a little better.

Obviously Republicans control the Executive & Legislative branches right now, and can afford to sacrifice some of their agenda to filibuster. But it’s obvious now that the Trump admin has no issue committing crimes and violating the constitution almost every week.

Not what you'd prefer to wear, but what you have to:-).

My guess is cry and not much more.

Maybe a different religion, or especially political beliefs seems to be a big deal-breaker. Do you still find it worthwhile to keep them in your life?

I'm fascinated by their steam system but it's got me curious, having so much steam being used for everything, is the city more humid than the average?

I'd like to go to Vegas sometime. I don't gamble but would like to see the place that gave birth to the snowclone "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". I think there's a good chance it'll disappear/collapse soon due to climate change, and I want to see the "before" of a monument to man's hubris that spits in the face of water usage.

Winter is mostly over and things are warming up. Soon we'll have patios open again which will be nice.

I've never taken a vacation, and I'm determined to take on this year in Spring. I'm in Pittsburgh area and would like to bring my dog along (he is too anxious for boarding or a dog sitter), and don't want to put him on an airplane. Any ideas?

I'm from Germany and the concept of time zones is very foreign to me since we only have one time zone across the country.

My furnace went out again, which sucked. I pay the utility company every month for a service that makes it their problem though, and they fixed it again. They've replaced enough parts in it at this point that I'm wondering how long until I've ship-of-theseus'ed my way to a new furnace.

And does it have what plants crave?

I've done well over an hour before (one way), but it definitely takes planning so not anywhere close to casual. At that point, perhaps other transportation may be used to return. And/or even if a daily/weekly occurrence, it takes discipline to do things like leave on time and stay informed throughout the day to handle weather events, plus wearing certain clothing to handle sweat and sun and rain etc. Biking is definitely preferable to walking for that level of distance/time, though I've done both.

Title. It seems like the police just chose a random person to have someone to prosecute.

Getting some more snow right now which is nice. We haven't really had a real winter this year.

Rules: * You could add or remove states.

I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

I'm from Germany and after noticing that many American personalities have German backgrounds I recently looked up that apparently German is the biggest ethnic group in America and that like 12% of all Americans have German ancestry so basically more than 1 out of every 10 people.

yay sportsball!

I've been busy with !loops@midwest.social since that's been seeing a lot of activity. The queue is up to almost the end of February, posting every 30 minutes. If you think that's too much, you should see how much I don't post 😄

The policy set forth in the March 20, 2018, Memorandum entitled "Guidance Regarding Use of Capital Punishment in Drug-Related Prosecutions" is hereby reinstated. In addition to drug-related prosecutions, the policy shall also be applied to cases involving non-drug capital crimes by cartels, transnational criminal organizations, and aliens who traverse our borders and remain in the United States without legal status.

So... there's *that*, at least.

I don’t know where else to ask this but I am out. My Latina fiancee has been getting derogatory remarks in public. I’m done. We are both hard-working manufacturers and we are looking at Spain since she is already fluent in Spanish and I am actively learning.

THIS IS NOT A TROLL. I’d like a deeper dive into this as a black man.
