It always was
It always was
Because if Americans tried to solve things personally someone would always end up dead
It’s even weirder because America doesn’t mean just the United States
Geographically, America is too ambiguous of a name for the Gulf of Mexico
Wouldn’t the Gulf of California also qualify as being the Gulf of America?
The Caribbean Sea?
Basically every river system from the Mississippi and and the Amazon are also “American” from northernmost point of North America to the southernmost point of South America, it’s all “America”
Naming the Gulf of Mexico “America” is almost as bad as naming a country “earth”
Henry Ford served on the board of the AFC and printed anti-semitic pamphlets and books that were required to be distributed with every new car purchased at a dealership.
The printed material made its way to Germany where the Nazis distributed it to help fan the flames which eventually led to the holocaust
Brigadier generals are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate
U.S. law explicitly limits the total number of general officers who may be on active duty. The total number of active duty general officers is capped at 218 for the Army, 62 for the Marine Corps, 170 for the Air Force, and 21 for the Space Force.
All brigadier generals must retire after five years in grade or 30 years of service, whichever is later
If he’s a brigadier general then he’s one of the few and he’s gonna be an older dude
That’s not a shower thought, that’s shower research
“Don’t be evil”
What exactly counts as the mainstream media nowadays?
Cable news?
I haven’t had cable TV for probably 20 years now.
Internet news?
Which ones? There seems to be an endless number of them
Your speedometer likely wasn’t accurate before the tire size change
I use my phone as a nav device pretty much everywhere I go with different rental cars and the speedometer is never accurate to the GPS measured speed or the radar based speed limit warning signs I see sometimes
The GPS always matches the radar signs, so I tend to trust it and use it more than the factory speedometer
Probably about 20 years
It’s only the Gulf of America in the United States lol
It’s ok, it’s really not putting me off of my Lemmy experience.
After being on reddit for over 10 years, in the grand scheme of things video only recently became functional before the entire site became unusable
I’m here for the long haul with the understanding that things will inevitably get better over time
I’m using Sync, so I cannot rule out that these problems originate there
Images have been fine for me, I’ve given up on videos
This forces my own question
People can tell my age just by my punctuation or lack thereof?
