Practically no one in the USA would have any idea what such a word would be representing.

Canada can never decide if they want to be Americans or British.

This but unironically.

 

OK dad, I've been wihtout a lawnwower most of the summer. I want to take one last swipe at the acre with the push mower and then use the lawn sweep to clean it up. If I take the bag off the push mower what kind of trouble do you think I'll find if I try to chop up the very long 1'+ bent over grass and the leaves on top of it?

That's a defeatist additute. You can be a realist withotu being a defeatist. There's always hope. I probably have as little faith in electoral politics as you do, but forming real relationships with real neighbors we can actually create the world our politicians would never support.

I don't think so. In Michigan, for example, seven parties have auotmatic ballot access for the general election. Often people will say the would prefer one of the so-called third party candidates, but they just cant' vote for them this year because the greater of two evils is so incredibly evil but next year will be different.

Now that "everyone" works from home, a lot of companies figure it cost a lot less to hire Indians to do that than Americans.

That's often how it works. Duplicate middle management particularly is usually less needed after a merger.

 

Sometimes I write a really good post/comment that I want to come back to I the future, such as copying and pasting.

Is there an option built into Kbin for doing so? On Friendica I can save it by STARRING it, or in the case of a whole thread SAVING IT TO A Folder. I haven't found an easily recognizable equivalent on kbin.
