So people tend to “live longer” where there’s poverty, rewards for reaching old age (pensions) and poor record keeping (e.g. birth certificates). Fascinating coincidences!!

MAGA is from the 2010s

Lived in a 1Br condo with one for 5 years. Didn’t have any major beef with mine.

Only issue was they didn’t allow anyone to install air conditioners in their units when I first moved in. Then they said they’d be allowing mini-splits soon, after which it took them 2 years to get that approved. Unfortunately they had designated locations where the condenser had to go, which for the unit I was in, was right next to the front door and kitchen window. I was all ready to purchase one until that detail came out…

Ended up toughing it out for the next year until I could afford to move out into a bigger house without an HOA. Now I’m happy to have full control over anything that goes on or through my roof, attic, and exterior walls.

Correction: she got 400k people to click a link where they can get information about registering to vote in their state. Whether those were unregistered voters and/or if any of those actually went through with registration remains to be seen.

“Hello, my name is Trevor. I am a vampire and…”

I am a vampire and what? I am a vampire and… here’s a million dollars?

Because meat tastes good, and browsers don’t taste like anything?

E:D! Man that game was my gateway drug to Star Citizen… still was a ton of fun for a while

I bet you’re fun at parties.

A really nice joystick, throttle, and pedals + additional button boxes for flight simulators and space simulators.

Growing up I had the cheapest little joystick and always wanted something more, but it was nixed by my parents. Now I’ve got it!

It’s not the tax prep companies in this case. It’s companies like Uber spending millions on lobbying to ensure that their drivers are never considered their employees, and subject to protections that employment affords

Yep definitely feeling this. I’m mostly into flight and space sims… so a niche within a niche. None of these communities made the move over to lemmy with me.

The app I’m running (Mlem) shows that you’re lemm.ee while the other RickRussell_CA is lemmy.world when I click on either of your names.

I think that’s an easy enough lift to sort it out, (though direct display might still be better).
