I had to read the article to make sure this wasn't old news. Yup, this is a second candidate that just got shot.

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 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!

okie dokie, thanx! I was just wondering since I just read something about beehaw communities shadow banning if I sign up for certain other communities and was wondering if that had something to do with it. Reference: https://lemm.ee/post/547600

Agh, I'm not excited about having to do that. I like to keep things simple.

I just had my first experience today when I googled a question that took me to Reddit for the answer....which was deleted.

There's a word for it: Christo-fascism.

Replace "Haiti" with "Arizona" and the message is essentially the same.

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!!

okay, that makes it easy. Thanx for replying!

Because money. Texas is a big oil producing state and guess what is a major contributor to climate change? The theory is if you don't teach kids the correlation they will think oil is good.

2024 election will be a sh*t show for shizzle.

This is the most relatable comment I've read today. This is my first day here and this is my first comment. My cherry has popped.

It sent me to someone's obituary.

Here's something I never thought I would say: "Mitt Romney wouldn't stoop that low." But now that I said that, I don't necessarily believe it. What are those stroke symptoms again? Glad I read the previous comments before responding.

This looks good! I'll subscribe, thanx!

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 was awesome! I got so invested in the story! You landed on a goldmine with this one!

I've reached the stage where I believe protesting achieves nothing. I'm leaning towards invoking the revolution phase.

And yet, this country has billions of dollars to fund wars.

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 :)

Whelp, I guess that means we're going steady now!

Again, so many postings of the same article by OP. Pick the most appropriate community and stick with it please.

Buying football teams comes to mind.

I decided to look up a little history: https://history-computer.com/web-1-0/

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?

Even the Blue Lagoon was closed as a precaution.
