They might all have one but if not, get one that has a seat belt cutter on it. And keep it in the front console, not anywhere in the back or in the glove compartment.
I knew someone (an acquaintance, we weren’t close) who died in a crash because their seatbelt got stuck and they couldn’t get out. They had one of those cutter hammer combos but it was in the back seat. Absolutely nightmarish.

Hm, interesting, thanks for sharing. Libertarians and fundamentalist influencers have quite a bit of overlap in the ideologies, funny enough. I don’t know how to feel about the Bill Maher tidbit though… I’m not his biggest fan, lol.
Thank you for sharing, but now I’m even more suspicious. Libertarians aren’t exactly known for their fact checking abilities, and I can’t find this news story on websites that seem any more reputable.
There’s another fundamentalist influencer family, a conservative wannabe Eminem and his disturbingly meek wife. They also have a gaggle of children and have been investigated by DCFS. Oh and then there’s the family that Shaq buys stuff for all the time, and the one whose oldest son is in prison for possession of CSAM, and the family whose grandparents were literal Nazis.
These people all know each other, have all kinds of cronies, and spread all kinds of misinformation. I wouldn’t put it past any of them to make a fake “news” website to back up their own claims, and name it something dumb like reason.com 😂
Yeah except we’re all going to pay.
I’m not saying this didn’t happen, but I’m skeptical that it happened how it’s being reported. It seems the only details are coming from the mother and her attorney, which is a red flag to me. It also sounds a lot like the self reported “discrimination” that some fundamentalist Christian influencer families have claimed, when they were indeed neglecting/abusing their children. In particular the Lott family (AmericanFamilyRoadTrip on socials) who live in a bus with their 8 children, don’t get them medical attention unless forced, and recently got a “parents rights” attorney who sounded a lot like the attorney in this article.
I also find it odd that the sheriff of a town of less than 400 people would cause waves like this over an unfounded claim from a stranger. I’m curious to know what all this safety plan entails, because it could be a very reasonable plan and it’s likely that DCFS just has to meet certain criteria before they can close the case.
Again, not saying it didn’t happen, but the story seems like a good candidate for “missing reasons.”
It’s a long list but here’s a comment I shared in another thread that might give you an idea: https://lemmy.world/comment/13394779
If you want our actual list just let me know and I can message you this evening. But it’s 2 handwritten pages 😬
This isn’t the article I read but was the first thing that came up when I Googled: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wrong-claims-by-musk-us-election-got-2-billion-views-x-2024-report-says-2024-11-04/
If you search “cyber security expert 2024 election hacking” you’ll get links to some social media posts where experts are discussing what they think happened.
I know for a fact I read that some small counties had voting machines that we know can be hacked hooked up to Starlink, and it was hypothesized that if they did get hacked again an “if, then” code was used to fly under the radar and steal votes in a few key areas in swing states. I’ll continue looking when I get a chance.
This one mentions starlink but also calls it a leftist conspiracy theory, which I disagree with: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-musk-trump-election-conspiracy-theory-spreads-online-1983444

I found it easily by Googling his full name (Nicholas J. Fuentes) and “home” and I think also “Zillow?” But it seems like they have since unlisted his house. I knew Google already blurred it but he seems to be locking it down everywhere. I guess that’s to be expected but the info is definitely already out there.
Ahh yes I forgot, all robots are descended from the original automaton; Sir Weebilus Wobbilus of the Kewpie dynasty.
This is what happens when you systematically dismantle the public education system.
I read an article at some point in the last few days that said some were, for what it’s worth. I’ll try to look for it again.
Sure I guess but you can also just leave it at home.
Still not worth the risk to download it. Get a paper journal, they make ones that guide you through tracking all the necessary data.
The fast forward and rewind options on my car stereo are both touch only, and they rarely (if ever) work. I like everything else about my car, which thankfully didn’t do away with too many buttons and mostly uses the touchscreen for the backup camera and stereo. But those two functions specifically being part of the touchscreen makes no sense and drives me crazy.
Yeah we’re stocking up on everything we can now, so we can tighten our belts and hopefully save some money over the next few years, but also not directly give the oligarchs any more of our money. I’ve been researching local and woman owned businesses that I’d like to support for the necessities, and thankfully our grocery store is a local chain. I have a friend who is offering to make basic clothing, including underwear, in exchange for childcare, eggs, and produce. People around here are going to get creative and it’s actually giving me some hope that things won’t be as bad as we think.
One can only hope.
