I would pay money to keep Firefox foss for other people who can't afford to do so.

I don't think it's a matter of having the chutzpah or not.

Biden at his core is a pretty solid straight lace public servant. He listens to the majority of the people and tries to do what's best for the country. While that move would be great for the country, it goes against his straight lacedness.

Yeah I'm sure I'd adjust but I also know ilmy other half is pretty firmly against moving out of our area. I personally would prefer to be in Portland. (Call it what you like, I love being there. It's the vibe that suits me best). That all being said, I might swing a vacation and see your state during some nice weather.

Admittedly I'm am one such person, I can't tolerate the cold. Would rather be hot and sweaty

I believe that if America has been more proactive, we could have either limited or delayed the infection. As I remember it, the infection spread from Asia to America and hit Europe after us on the East Coast, at least that what I remember hearing from the reports.

So yes, if we had been more proactive and developed a response much more in line with the Ebola outbreak, i believe it could have been delayed or lessened.

My bad, I didn't see the joke for what it was. I'm US based and I'm trying to not be stressed given we have a chance of dealing with fucking Donald Trump again. I do wish we'd do more to teach about how bad fascism truly is, but at least I get to understand given my heritage.

While you are correct that he didn't directly cause it, his actions allowed it to become as bad as it was. Had he been less of a piece of shit about it, it's quite possible that it could have been limited and had a much smaller impact so I feel fine with my previous statement as is.

For context, consider how the ebola outbreak was handled under Obama. As soon as we became aware of it, we had teams going directly to the outbreak sites and dealing with the problem. There was no "shelter in place" in the states, no global pandemic. Contrast that to covid-19 which people on 4chan were posting about before oompa loompa decided to give a shit.

And that's for a disease that is very infectious. https://www.paho.org/en/topics/ebola-virus-disease#:~:text=Ebola%20Virus%20Disease%20is%20a,only%20when%20they%20show%20symptoms.

So I stand by my statement, Donald Trump is a piece of shit and caused the global plague.

Yeah, no. He caused a plague first time around, dipshit doesn't deserve a second chance.

She's not wrong though

Catch me up on the drama please?

Everett seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't understand but wouldn't care and would tell you to shut the fuck up for making a big deal out of something that doesn't affect you.
