I generally read moderately niche fiction titles and they're all there, but I am monolingual so everything is in English.

Iirc kindle books come with DRM, which you can break using a calibre plugin.

Honestly downloading books from libgen is so much easier I don't think I've bought a kindle book in 10 years.

Respectfully, I disagree. I struggle to think of candidates more milquetoast than Biden and Harris of all people.

I think the problem is that we have no progressives. The right moves things right, the center does nothing, and there is no left.

Your core supposition is wrong, basically everyone is mad about the state of our country. We just have several different ideas on how to fix it and two parties who are dedicated to making it worse.

The pocketbook is the best I know of on the market right now. I have one (bought it a few months back) and it is exactly what was advertised.

In comparison to most of Europe, America is very unsafe, gun ownership is much higher, and mental healthcare is a joke.

This means that you do not engage in a dispute with a stranger because they might be unhinged and just kill you over a parking space or who gets to merge first in traffic or whatever.

A lot of people started calling for violence against Musk's cronies at DoGE.

I don't know if it was "a lot" or "basically all of them" though, /u/spez is a trumpet so who knows.

Sure, butterfly a chicken breast and fry it over high heat. Or eat cheese. Or make succotash, or lentil soup.

All of our cultural defaults for breakfast are terrible for us anyways, we need to eat other things regardless.

I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don't care for most other types of "easy" egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.

Tbh I don't understand why people don't just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.

The US military has actually been short on recruits for a long time now due to the obesity epidemic.

I mean we could stop maintaining an invasion force in basically every corner of the globe simultaneously, but we aren't filthy communists or whatever.

You can have it so long as it is semiautomatic. There's just a lot of paperwork involved because the bolter itself and each individual round are probably considered destructive devices.

It varies wildly by locale, this person may live somewhere extremely hilly like San Francisco, or they may live in Kansas (scientifically proven to be literally flatter than a pancake). I can't be bothered to check.

I'll say I'm confident this person is just being a big baby about having to pedal, and basically just wants an electric motorcycle.
