I can’t name one, frankly, but they exist. I had been getting the store brand for going on 20 years now because it’s been around that long that store brand has been better than name brand.

I don’t buy often, just when I’m hankering for chicken a l’orange.

I’m thrilled to hear it was a success.

I am equally thrilled to hear that they will be paying taxes on its success instead of getting a credit from its failure.

That’s happening, right? /s

It’s a mockery account. Libs of TikTok, people of Walmart, etc.

Not at all. And it’s a little cheaper than my state ID (which is not a driver’s license, just an ID) and lasts considerably longer (10 years like a normal passport instead of 2 for the state ID).

Its great value, if you don’t already need a license and don’t plan on doing any air travel.

That’s because it’s a passport card. Cards are only useful for crossing into Canada or Mexico, or for some carribian islands.

More importantly, it’s not valid to use for entry via airplane anywhere, even if it’s one of the above. So basically most useful for people that commute between regularly or are going on cruises. Or in this case as proof of citizenship.

Full passports are $130 USD. I renewed both in November.

Apart from that, if “useless” people truly didn’t have a purpose, then why did nature make them in the first place?

This won’t work on this sort of person. Failure is a personal choice in their narrow world view.

I’m of the general opinion that learning new things is never a bad idea, but let’s break down your sub question regarding usefulness.

At the very least a basic understanding is certainly useful. I make a point to at least learn alphabets and their sounds so I have a fighting chance putting what I hear into a translation engine. Similarly, Russian isn’t the only language that uses Cyrillic.

Paet that though? In my lifetime it was first unthinkable that I could ever visit Russia, then became possible and even a tourist destination (see: Trans-Siberian rail), and back to basically unthinkable to me.

It’ll most likely swing again.

Red, orange, yellow and green are all the same varient, but at different ripenesses. The others are different varients.

Mostly just a novelty. Throw in a bit more colour, if available.

Not sure I’ve seen an orange, white, brown or purple traffic light before!

I’m not really ever in the market for drives with forty thousand power on hours, are you?

There is one federal seat up for 2025 and it’s for a Texas rep.

Local elections are also important, but I’m not sure what in context you’re expecting people to do with that.

That’s Greek and we have a pretty good understanding of them.

I think the person you’re replying to is referring to these odd little dodecahedrons that we keep finding in former Roman provinces, but for which we’ve found no documentation as to what they were for, if anything.
