We’d be dead & not giving a fuck. This “care” seems more about yourself than others.

A previous poster answered the situation definitively. A medical professional needs to declare someone as dead. There have been several cases where a person looked dead but was revived.

All countries need dissidents to stay there and change things for the better. Allowing all dissidents to leave inept countries for America is just hurting the inept countries in the long run.

the majority of US citizens voted against Trump.

False. But it was close.

  • Trump - 77,303,568 - 49.81%
  • Harris - 75,019,230 - 48.34%

This is the most important comment on the issue. It's pretty much giving US secrets away ahead of time.

The rich and famous will live their lives in a bubble no matter where they reside. And Clooney is still going to hear about Trump's criticisms no matter where he lives.

I've always assumed that posts that began with "as a black man" were posted by a non-black person. Trying too hard, and invading their own Internet privacy at the same time.

Don’t like it? You can go back to US propaganda sites.

I don't see the benefit of replacing US propaganda with anti-US propaganda.

the most openly racist president since Andrew Johnson

That honor goes to Woodrow Wilson, especially since he was president during a supposedly more enlightened time.

That building at 7500 S South Shore Drive actually has architectural significance. Built in 1950, all the corner windows wrap around framelessly, allowing nearly unobstructed views of Lake Michigan across the street; one of the first buildings in the nation to implement such window framing. Unfortunately, in 2011 Mayor Daley allowed a school to be built on park land across the street, which blocked the view of Lake Michigan from east-facing windows. I believe losing the lake view is what caused the building to lose prime renters and spiral into subprime building condition it was in at the time of the raid.

He was very hostile to wait staff at a restaurant when they messed up his wife’s order.

Ease of mistreating waitstaff is really a good indicator that a person is awful.

Wheels were useless anyway until the invention of the axle, around 3500 BCE.

Allowing volunteer mods was dangerous enough. Allowing those mods to have unlimited subreddits was a magnet for agenda-driven operatives. The changes don't really do enough to get rid of mods with an agenda.

BTW, once a Reddit mod permabans you, there's no way to appeal their ban. The mods can simply ignore your request for a review. Also, after you are banned, Reddit doesn't automatically decrement the membership count. You must unjoin on your own. So its membership numbers are inflated for each subreddit.
