          Got mine last week and just in the knick of time. Still, went through them and needed to buy two more packs just to ensure I'm not missing work and all that.

              Damn, solid idea. If they got shit like 3-d printers, job resources, etc, that seems a sensible place to check. I love libraries, but I got some laser-focus on those books.

    No aid for Taiwan. Typical! Biden is a CCP member after all. We will not forget about your neglect, Beijing Biden!

    I keep feeling better and better about not voting for him.

    But I stay feeling bummed there are no options worth voting for.

    Lmao the illusion that these numbers even mean anything is dropping really fast. There's just no fucking way the US is going to be able to handle both of these puppet wars at once.

    The heart of the empire is palpatating
