Don’t forget that these restrictions also apply to the Americans living in Guam, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands, as they all have the same status as Puerto Rico. It’s interesting too because citizens of the 50 states can vote absentee from other countries, and American Astronauts have voted from space. That would make Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, and American Samoa the only places in the universe an American can’t vote for President

Designed by deafblind artist Arnaud Balard in 2013, it was adopted by the National Federation of the Deaf of France (Fédération nationale des sourds de France) in 2014 and by the Word Federation of the Deaf in 2023. It's official symbolism is:
-
Hand: The signing deaf community and sign languages
-
Fingers: Use of sign languages around the world (over 200 languages) and the 5 continents (in order from top to bottom Europe, the Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa)
-
Turquoise: World color of sign language, deaf culture, and the signing deaf community
-
Yellow: Light, life, the awakened mind, and coexistence
-
Navy Blue: Planet Earth, humanity, and the color adopted to represent deafness
As other have said, housing, at least in the US, has always been seen as an investment, and investments are supposed to appreciate in value. It is difficult to sell to political bases that one of two things must then be true: 1) People who bought houses 20+ years ago will have to lose equity on the house which they potentially were relying on for some amount of retirement, or 2) The government will have to step in and fill the gap (a la systems similar to agricultural subsidies). Neither of those things would you be able to sell to a wide enough base that they could be acted on.
In the end, this was caused by two things. On a practical level, prices continued climbing while wages stagnated over the past 40 years. On a more philosophical level, I personally don’t think that necessities such as housing should be commodified.
This also brings up the fact that single family homes, the predominant home type in the US, are not good from an environmental standpoint or an urban planning standpoint. It would be better to convert into duplexes and such. In the end, I agree that buying a home is way too much, but in the long run it may be good that the market is pushing more people towards lower impact forms of housing

I don’t know, it could probably work, America is the outlier for their election seasons. UK elections are held 5-6 weeks after Parliament is dissolved. The 2022 French Presidential election was held less than 2 weeks after the polling date was announced. Comparatively, the USA’s 7 months to convention, 10 months to election is a lifetime. You can do loads in 106 days
For me I think part of it is more nostalgia for a certain relationship I had with this person, even if it wasn’t a close one, and my life during the time I knew them.
I think that the internet has given us this almost elongation effect to personal relationships though. Some people are just meant to pass into our lives for a brief time then pass out of them, and that’s okay
Lots of cakes in Germany for example are traditionally made from yeasted doughs
I like the idea in theory, but I think it would be a hard sell of “hey trade in your $10k+ car for this few hundred dollar bike”

Anyone know where the setting is to do this? I prefer having the message preview next to the inbox list (as shown on the website, see the picture), but the default appears to have it along the bottom of the screen. Thanks

Not very up on biology, so not sure if this would even be a thing, but I would say some kind of internal structure like plants allowing animals to overcome the square-cube law
