Also depends on what web front-end or mobile app they’re using.

Nope, my first two points did not change from my edits. I never said corruption or crumbling infrastructure isn’t widespread in the US. I just said that not only do both exist in third world countries as well, but it’s even worse.

Have you ever lived in an actual third world country? Here’s some from my home country for each of your examples:

• Corruption in government is worse and more blatant than what you see in the US. It happens at the top all the way down to the lowest levels. You sometimes have to bribe people just to get some services done. I once had to have a police report done for an auto accident. The officer had the report typed up and they just needed to click the print button. He then said I can pay a quick process “fee” to get the report now, or come back to get the report in 3 days. It was an hour drive to the station, but I didn’t want to pay a bribe, so I came back after 3 days.

• Infrastructure is crumbling not just because of lack of maintenance, but because the cheapest materials are used and infrastructure is not built up to code. Every step of the process means a cut for someone’s own pockets, so you end up with a tiny amount compared to what was initially funded. Perfectly functioning roads are destroyed and rebuilt in perpetuity because contractors are in cahoots with local government to implement “projects” where they fleece funds by agreeing on a budget then switching materials to substandard quality and pocketing the remaining amount, with the politician getting a % of course. A section of the street in my childhood home is still unpaved 30+ years later just because no one bothered to finish it.

• Homeless people in the US may still have access to food banks, shelters, charities, etc. Homeless people in thrid world countries may have nothing at all.

• People lose power in the US due to catastrophies. We had random 12 hour blackouts and water shut-offs several times a month for no reason at all. Water isn’t potable in the entire country and you have to boil or buy water from filter stations if you want to be safe.

Well I did, so shrug I guess I’m an outlier. My home search was very limited to one county so I could make sure we were covered by that city’s resources. Besides, I didn’t say it had to be the only reason. Just answering OPs question on how people live with those private unregulated utilities, which I did by avoiding them altogether.

By living in an area that has a regulated utility provider. One of the primary requirements I have when choosing a place to live is to make sure the utility provider in the area is a regulated entity.

Does it integrate with Homebase?

They’re just not invested in it yet. Once their money is in it, they’ll suddenly say it’s the best thing in the world.

My favorite genre is Denis Villenueve.

I can certainly give them food and water, but sorry I’m not trusting enough to let a stranger in my house.

Thanks! This looks promising. Unfortunately it doesn’t even have my address yet (new neighborhood). I’ll park it in the meantime but will definitely keep it on my phone and will try it on familiar routes (in case something goes wrong).

Do you know which of these has the most updated real-time traffic data, like for accidents and road closures? I depend heavily on maps not just for navigation but to also get the fastest routes to my destination. Obviously google maps is great with that because of the sheer amount of crowsourced data it collects, but it’s also effective with rerouting quickly for unpredictable events.

Most of the restrooms I’ve been to have a bin inside but close to the door, so you can grab the handle with a paper towel then throw it in before stepping out. But yeah, the ones without doors and only have partitions to hide the restroom from the outside is the best, like the ones in airports.

Because there’s nothing that says they can’t. The highest position in the land also has one of the lowest requirements to run for, which is being a citizen and being over a minimum age.

Because maintaining the illusion keeps us going as normal and won’t break the simulation. /s

Phone, keys, wallet, hand sanitizer. When I know I’ll be in and out of a vehicle a lot (therefore having to empty my pockets to sit comfortably), I use a small bag that I wear across my shoulder/chest that contains all those things, so it’s easy to remove and put back on.

If the snake was also rushed to Dr Satish Chandra Sinha for treatment, it might have survived as well.

I consider myself an older millennial as people born until the late 90’s are still considered millennials.

I don’t drink much because I get red easily, so I don’t know a lot about drinks. What I do is ask the bartender to make me a fruity drink with half the alcohol (usually vodka), then nurse that drink as long as I can. It’s nice because I get a different kind of drink every time.

I assure you, people who bother to wash their asses with a bidet and soap using their hands definitely wash their hands with soap and water afterwards and are cleaner than people who don’t use a bidet.
