and at the same time we are not gonna get screwed with stuff like diapers etc that we have no way of getting made in the US...??
Baby diapers and most bedwetting diapers are made in the US.

It probably will be. I've been dumpster diving enough to know that people throw away absurd amounts of perfectly good stuff and if diverted it will certainly be enough to last until American factories open and start producing.
Also anyone who's ever been on Pinterest or similar sites knows you can make a lot of stuff yourself.
2 hours ago, rusty pins said:some countries employ people for 12+ hours a day at $3 an hour and those employees are happy for anything they earn as well as to be working in a building with electric lights and flushing toilets! Instead of paying someone $3 an hour, if those products were produced in the USA, the employees would probably be paid $15+ an hour and benefits like health insurance (which they would claim still isn't good enough).
So you're saying Americans should support $3/hr wages and no benefits?

But I did have concerns of if the high voltage went throughout from hand to feet and a wet diaper?
That shouldn't affect anything unless you were sitting down or if your diaper was leaking.

I could understand tariff on product they make in the states, but it makes no sense at all to have tariffs on products they don't make.
No other country have that.Tariffs don't tax other countries, they tax imports from said country(ies). So, China is taxing US inports, the US is taxing Chinese imports.

Except that the XX Amendment just says that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." It doesn't say anything about serving as President more than twice.
The 1st Amemndment specifically states that "Congress shall make no law" against the freedom of speech, religion, etc, but doesn't explicitly prohibit other entities from restricting those same rights. This is what a lot of predatory state legislatures, nonprofits, and such often cite when they try to promote harmful policies.
The law is always subject to interpretation no matter how clearly it's written. Until humans figure out a way to reach consensus without trying to force laws on each other, our species will be continually fighting about politics.

ABU will raising their prices soon as well. Their newsletter from a couple hours ago said that the tariffs on their products have skyrocketed from 7.5% to 152%.

I've never been in favor of mental health medication. I get that some people need such medications for any number of reasons and there's no shame in that but for me it's like trying to change a light bulb with a hammer. It ends up breaking more things and doesn't fix the one thing it's supposed to.

Okie dokie thanks, not sure how I do that or where I go to do that.
Go to your device's system settings, probably under storage or apps.

Still remember the days before social media became mainstream. The Internet then was mainly for finding information, not people.
Back in the mid 2000s Google used boolean operators (like "AND", "OR", "NOT", etc) to narrow down search results and there was no data filtering like there is now.
Subscription services used to be much less common than they are now.
The world overall was much less up in your face than it is today.

I'd second giving Goodnites XL a try.

I made a club here for people looking for events, but nobody seems to post anything. I suspect people are still recovering from the pandemic and cost of living situation.
If you do go with Fetlife, be careful as there are a lot of less than wholesme people on that site.
There's also r/abdl on Reddit and if you're brave enough there's also some abdl events posted on mainstream social media.

Maybe try installing Linux on it and see if that fixes anything.

I don't want someone else 'picking' my groceries. Especially after seeing the people who do it in the stores.
Usually goes something like:
"Chips" *toss*
"Laundry soap" *toss* *crunch*
"Cat litter" *toss* *laundry soap starts leaking*

Reading between the lines.... you're welcome to stay here and post as long as you conform to what we call "normal". And the irony is that liberal people claim to be more open-minded, yet in actual practice, can be far more prejudiced than those they accuse of the same.
Standard neoliberal politics there. Coservatives have been trying to undermine free-thinking groups since the 70s with claims like such. Best thing to watch out for is someone who seems mostly but not totally aligned with a group's goals and who really wants a leadership position. That generaly catches about 80% or so of hidden conservatives.

Nailheads.
What would happen if real estate companies started making buildings and land available "for delivery"?

It's not just babyfurs. Lots of people were banned/censored back in 2021 for saying that vaccine policies of the time were causing problems. Lots of people left and FA eventually shut down their forums and moved their "social area" to discord.
It seems the FA administration is likely going to destroy themselves if they continue with those kinds of policies, kind of like what Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook to some degree have done.

Because they can't wear socks.
If you accidently vacuum up a lit firework, how many pieces of your vacuum cleaner would be left?

Unless you have professional grade steralizing equipment, I don't think it's possible to sell such toys.
I would recommend keeping them just in case you change your mind later and want to use them again.

Have you looked into your local furnature bank or thrift store? Even if they don't have a fridge available they might have leads on where you could get one for free or super cheap.
Or consider investing in canning jars and your food will last much longer anyway.
