Pay off your mortgage. The bank is done with you. Miss your property taxes? The county treasurer takes your home. You never truly OWN your property. You rent it from the government. Every year. Forever. Time to end that in Idaho. #SD1 #Idaho #PropertyTax

what happened to no taxation without representation, because I’m feeling pretty underrepresented right now

@iluminatibot It's funny, because its true

Vladimir Putin says he doesn't fear the UK because, "they can't even stop rubber boats invading their country or foreigners r*ping their women and kids." He also said the British people hate their leader.

@nafonsopt Tell me you don't understand Linux in as many words as possible.

For anybody saying "Just use Linux", you need to realise that Linux is worse than Windows. Windows has all the bloat, and while you can have Linux without any of that you still don't have tools like Remedybg, RAD Debugger and Super Luminal. Once you have such tools, then Linux is a suitable app development environment. But _it is still trash_ because of the whole Linux model of you needing to compile everything. The fact that you cannot run an app built using a newer version of glibc is an insane decision. I shouldn't have to upgrade my whole machine in order to run something built on a newer version. I shouldn't be worried that an upgrade will break my machine. I shouldn't be forced to compile things from scratch to work on my machine. I shouldn't be forced to install N packages, I just want self contained binaries I can just download and run. I shouldn't be forced to develop with an old distro to have "max glibc compatibility". I shouldn't have to worry about X11 / Wayland / Window Managers. I shouldn't have to worry about asking the user to select a folder, display a dialog or show notifications. Linux is such a huge waste of potential, if they got their shit together they would completely obliterate Windows. I first got into Linux in 2000, and even back then there was this "it will take over Windows any time now!". It's been _26 years_! The same way I'd pay quite a lot for Windows without any bloat, I'd be willing to pay for a distro that gives me all this.

@johncwright2001 Amen brother.

I believe in God after 40 years of ardent lifelong atheism because I found evidence. Very much against my will and inclination, logic proved to me that the Christian worldview is coherent and atheism incoherent. So I experimentally prayed, demanding God show Himself He did

@GigaBasedDad Woman discovers that men prefer real over fake.

Ladies, is this accurate?

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

@elonmusk It proves, once again, the representative democracy is not democracy. These people do not represent anyone but themselves.

Good question

@LaNativePatriot Absolute insanity. Representative democracy is not democracy. These people only represent themselves.

Democrats in Washington State just passed SB5068 which removes the U.S. citizenship requirement to become a police officer or prosecutor Once Bob signs it…. our “Sanctuary State” foreign nationals will be allowed to arrest & prosecute Americans

Question for my followers: what would you like to see those billions go towards?

@WallStreetApes @Niknakgirl23

They tried to throw Trump & J6ers in prison for the rest of their lives But the man who K*LLED AND ATE someone is going to be released back onto the streets It's painfully clear the legal system at this point has almost nothing to do with keeping people safe

@Grummz GOAT

Good morning, WoW fans.

Privacy isn’t about being secretive. It’s about being sovereign.

"Representative" Democracy is not Democracy. These people do not represent anyone but themselves.

I think it is DISGUSTING how Congress protects its own corruption. No wonder the American people hate us.

Yes.
