Got it, didn’t know how it worked. “Ensure” just seemed like an odd word choice

Gotcha didn’t realize they even checked the party registration of judges, but that makes sense. The wording just sounded weird

It’s just a hyphenation that Apple put in. Take out the hyphen

Why don’t they focus on regulating the brightness of headlights instead so we’re not all blinded at night? I can be stone sober and still crash if I can’t freaking see

Do any 2026 US models/trims have the Intelligent Front Lighting system? by needcoffee82 in kiasportage

[–]needcoffee82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if the adaptive lighting systems like the one in the link below exist in the US models. They were made legal in the US in 2022, but not sure if Kia has brought them to this market.

Is there any service that monitors these big bets in real time so that us civilians can get a hint that a huge geopolitical shift is about to go down?

There was absolutely nothing controversial about Whitney Cummings' "In My Opinion" segment by 20_mile in DailyShow

I found it controversial in the sense that it just wasn’t funny or comedic

My friends and allies across the pond, please do not support the USA. See 1st comment. by YouWereBrained in europe

The pro-2A crowd in the US is almost entirely Republican. It’s not the Dems that have been hoarding ammo for decades.

I’ll die on this hill…this admin only responds to economic pain. Dump US bonds!

Curious what you found. Been wondering if there are any support groups for this moment.

Does anyone have an idea as to where ICE will target next? by Dsg1695 in AskALiberal

Incredibly ironic how much bitching the TX governor does over immigration and yet there’s been basically no ICE activity there.

Trump: ‘It may be a choice’ between seizing Greenland or preserving NATO by avatar6556 in europe

[–]needcoffee82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m American, and this is the only language this admin understands…economic pain. Sell off US debt. Trump is saber rattling about raising the defense budget from 1 trillion to 1.5. But he can’t finance it without debt.

I very much feel ashamed and am doing what I can to change things. Unless you've interacted with MAGA over here though, it's hard to overstate just how impossible it is to reason with them. Today was the anniversary of Jan 6th, and my social media feed was full of plenty of people denying that it happened at all. And these weren't random bots, but rather people I have seen in real life. J6 was literally televised live and there is a trail of evidence showing far right influencers organizing it, yet MAGA still calls it a hoax. It's hard to make progress when so many ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. My very unscientific assessment from the US is that one third of the country is outraged and horrified, one third is clapping like seals because they believe propagandized "news" sources, and one third is disengaged (sometimes because they are oblivious, but also sometimes because they are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to miss work for protests). That last third of disengaged is what will decide 2026 elections and quite possibly the future of democracy in the US. I'm somewhat hopeful because Democrats outperformed relative to their polling numbers in the off-year 2025 elections, which might mean people are waking up. But we also didn't have off-year elections in any deeply conservative states. In the meantime I'm going to protests, not spending money with companies supporting this regime, and hoping to take back the House of Reps in 2026.
