I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.
I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option then park it. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.
So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.
I don’t recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.
While I don’t think it’s likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.
Got it once. I left it suspended to capture the luck.
The last line on the typewriter has a typo that says “X-MEN IS WORK NOW” instead of “WOKE NOW”.
Probably comes from a combination of belief in American exceptionalism, tradition, and either popular opinion remains with reciting the pledge or a lack desire to change.
States are managed individually for the most part and only 47/50 still require reciting the pledge (with some exceptions). Without a call for change from the people, it would be political suicide for any lawmaker to come out for a change like this. Opponents could use this decision as a claim of lack of patriotism.
The context of the origin of the US’ pledge of allegiance is it came shortly after the end of their Civil War when there was still a lot o political tension. A desire was born to instill national loyalty in children.
However, today as mentioned by another commenter, students cannot be legally compelled to recite the pledge, nor punished for not reciting the pledge as decided by the Supreme Court in 1943 using the first amendment as the base.
Voting for Trump is voting for a system that enables Project 2025.
Everyone focuses on the man, however, it’s also a vote for his appointees and staffers.

Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend’s list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.
Update: Invites using the Steam friend list was simple and worked well.

I’ve already sunk 74 hours into it and is my new nighttime treat.
Rougelike with poker hands (flush, straight, pair, etc.). Joker cards modify rules (extra chips or multipliers for certain cards) and tarot cards modify the deck (ie. remove, copy, modify cards).
Score requirement goes up each round trying to beat at least 8 rounds to “win”. Playing a couple rounds goes quick and it’s easy to pause when you need to step away.
Progression with new decks unlocked, new joker cards, and challenges.
Same, but I can understand that Valve doesn’t want to give false impressions that a game runs perfectly when there are imperfections as mentioned. Valve has high community trust.
But yeah, I usually just read the incompatibility issues and usually decide it’s not a big deal and play anyway.
It’s not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.
