Yep. Remind him that Kamala Harris has half Indian ancestry and he'll be ready to colonize it right after Panama, Greenland, and Canada.

I have a grocery store close enough I could walk, but it's not walkable because it's a busy road with no sidewalks.

I currently live in just about the least walkable place I have ever lived and I dislike it. Work is less than a mile away, unwalkable because if safety. I can walk to a Dunkin Donuts, a dive bar, a church, a mosque, and that's about it. Distance isn't the factor.

While racism is probably different in S American countries like Brazil, I don't for one second believe it no longer exists there.

One, because I've met Brazilians and read the news about Brazil and consumed Brazilian media. Two, there is still a strong correlation between race and class, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Brazil, see the section on Persisting Inequality.

Is there some metric that shows amount of time a seeder has had files available but not necessarily actively seeding?

Archivists like you should get accolades for keeping the more rarely sought after media. More so than we need yet another seed of Avengers.

Thank you for seeding them. Unless it's weird porn.

... it's weird porn, isn't it ...

If it's not busy, no, I never cared and usually enjoyed it. If it is busy, yes, annoying. Large tips make up for it partially.

And clock the vibe of the bar. I worked at a place where anything more complicated than a screwdriver would get you side eye. I worked at another bar known for artisan cocktails; the mistake there was to be overly prescriptive to the bartender and not let them make you their own take on a drink.

My uncle, from the time he was a little boy, liked nothing more than farming and gardening. He has one friend and they talk exclusively about growing stuff. He had to be forced to finish high school because all he wanted to do was wrench on a tractor. He barely talks unless it's farming related.

He apparently takes after other men in the family, always one or two per generation, who were pretty much mute except when it came to their special interest. And they were 100% focused on their special interest.

Back in the day, it was "Uncle Bob just has those family genes. We get one of them every once in a while. He sure is a helluva good farmer." Today he would be diagnosed with autism.

Yep. And adopted a white baby. Like, intentionally, specifically a white baby.

The slideshow of the lives of the couple included photos from a Black Lives Matter protest. One of the two getting married is a cop. Then I noticed Thin Blue Line decor around the gift table. The other half of the couple is Black.

I call AI slop. That quoted paragraph is terrible.

"A fifth of children are in broken homes or parentless". Lol, as if kids raised by a single parent need to be adopted by a married couple. Bullshit.

I follow the directions on the container. Mine doesn't say to let it set, so it stays in as long as it takes me to give it and my scalp a good scrub.

Edit: I also use something called co-wash, not conditioner.

Feels bad, man. I just hope other countries pay attention. Y'all are seeing swings to the right too. Germany, Canada, Sweden, France, more, check yourselves before you find yourselves in the same spot.
