I still blame Nader for splitting the Democratic ticket in the 2000 election, causing America to be handed over to George W Bush.
Replace “Haiti” with “Arizona” and the message is essentially the same.
I had to read the whole article to get to this info: Depending on what Chrome version you’re using, and whether you’ve been selected to start using Topics API, you can switch this functionality off and on by visiting chrome://settings/adPrivacy and/or chrome://settings/privacySandbox – cut’n’paste these URLs into your address bar to jump straight to the controls.
I was curious to try paw paws that I paid $25 to have four of them shipped to Arizona. I loved them, they tasted so tropical. However, they didn’t agree with my stomach. If I remember correctly, they gave me diarrhea. (I didn’t eat them all at once.)
This was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!
I went in for seconds and landed here: http://firedrake.org/roger/csarchive/universe/states.htm This is sooo cool and I don’t even know what it is! Has anyone heard of Crimson Skies computer game??
Its premise seems to be that America failed. The link took me to the write-ups of what happened to the states. Example: “Montana and Wyoming have largely fragmented. All government is local, and the locals seem determined to keep it that way. The population is completely disgusted with national government and aims to show that local government can perform far better than any distant bureaucracy. Portions of Wyoming and Montana have been claimed by other states, but by and large this is the most lawless and best armed stretch of the West.”
Another: “The bulk of Nevada is desert, not even worth the effort of laying claim to. Most of the inhabitants southeast of the Sierra Nevadas are desert air pirates, scrub ranchers, and rattlesnakes.”Not gonna lie…it got me at Air Pirates!
I decided to look up a little history: https://history-computer.com/web-1-0/
It sent me to someone’s obituary.
Buying football teams comes to mind.
I always liked the band Jellyfish.
I just took a gander over to Wikipedia to learn why they broke up. It was there where I read one of the best break up write ups ever:
“During the tour for Spilt Milk, Sturmer and Manning grew increasingly distant as friends. On their return home, the two songwriters independently wrote material for a third album, provisionally titled Nausea Trois. By then, they were drifting apart musically. Manning remembered that, prior, they would bond over albums such as Paul McCartney’s Ram or the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle; however, “it was clear that none of that was happening anymore.” He said that he was “rediscovering my love of […] high-energy, fun melodic pop with attitude. And Andy was Leonard Cohen. That was it.” When Sturmer presented him a country ballad song, he accordingly “left in tears because I had zero interest in recording it.” Sturmer felt that Manning had outgrown the partnership, and for his part, was fearful that Manning’s new songs would likely inspire journalists to persistently compare the band to Alice Cooper.”
Really paints a picture!
They were a good band while it lasted.
Also…In 2004 or 2005, Coachella organizers invited Manning to reunite Jellyfish for a one-off performance at the festival. Manning advised the organizers to consult Sturmer first. Sturmer, through his lawyer, responded he would not accept the offer regardless of any amount of money involved.
Woah!!
Someone here posted a link to fledd.it and I started to go there for my news: https://fledd.it it’s a news aggregate.
This looks good! I’ll subscribe, thanx!
I live in Phoenix and just started to water and turn my compost daily during the summer. It looks a heck of a lot better. However, I always regard my “summer” compost to be nothing more than topsoil by the end of the season. At least it’s good for something.
Thanx for the reply! For some reason, I didn’t get the results in my search bar via the Connect app, but I was able to subscribe via my desktop. Not sure what the difference is, but at least I can see my working cats now :)
Maybe you can help me. I joined under Lemm.ee. I want to subscribe to c/catswithjobs@lemmy.world but it doesn’t show up on my search list. What do I type in to find it?
Does this mean Kari Lake is out of a job? As an Arizonian, I hope she come back here claiming to be our governor again.
