The official name for Mexico is the United Mexican States, a similar name to the United States of America but focused on the region of Mexico, the area which has Mexico City and the State of Mexico.

The problem with applying this to the USA is that, unlike Mexico, the USA was a collection of various colonies with different political and religious traditions coming together rather than the more unified viceroyality of Mexico.

Using words like Atlantic or Piedmont wouldn’t work well as the words described the colonies as is but the nation was partially rebelling to be able to settle lands on the other side of Appalachian Mountains.

Columbia might work as the word was used as a by label for the USA, so the United States of Columbia. This would likely cause Gran Colombia to choose a different name for their country.

Outside of Columbia, I can’t think of a name which would act as a label in which all colonies would agree.

Except during seismic events.

Depends on the sand.

That’s also generally more the geotechnical engineer’s call.

I’m a structural engineer. It is part of the job.

I’ve been mostly right.

I wished I worked out more right now. My problem is that I’m spending more and more spoons on my job and I don’t have enough remaining to exercise.

The tactic hasn’t worked for the party, but it has worked for me.

It’s the bosses, but it appears to be an industry wide issue instead of just one company.

It looks like you’re doing a great job at protecting yourself against a horrible life, but it looks like you haven’t planned out creating a good life.

I’d save your money and have it grow, but I’d start looking into low/no cost hobbies or something to add some joy in your life.

Nah.

The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.

I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.

No, but I have things I like to do outside of work and my work funds those activities.

Based on your responses, it seems like the only thing you like to do is to see your net worth go up. Any reason why you don’t have any hobbies?

Do you like working?

If you didn’t have to work, what would you do? Do you still want to work? Would you do something else? Do you have any hobbies?

I’m asking because I’m planning on taking a sabbatical from work because I’m tired of working and I want to enjoy some time away from work.

I’m not surprised. Lemmy’s activity has been pretty static. I know some people want Lemmy and federated social media to grow, so these accounts make sense.

He didn’t. Mamdani won a majority of NYC, but he lost the conservative parts to Cuomo.

That said, Mamdani got a decent amount of small business support for campaigning on streamlining a lot of the city’s regulations to bring down costs. This includes getting rid of the secondary market for various medallions.

A grandparent did before they died. I read it; it was ok.

The issue with Colbert is that economics is part of the reason why CBS cancelled the Late Show.

I’m sure that getting rid of the show to give Trump a favor was a plus, but late night television has seen audiences drop for decades. It is made even worse as video podcasts are taking up a lot of the role that late night talk shows used to take and are now popular enough that they are giving out awards for them.

I also don’t think that Paramount was as strategic about Colbert as Disney was with Kimmel or NBC is with Fallon. Disney commonly uses Kimmel as a way to promote other Disney IP. NBC now uses the Tonight Show as an extension of SNL to promote writing talent before they move on to different shows. In contrast, Colbert doesn’t really have any big clips with Star Trek actors.

So, there are people telling you how to ship packages to a hotel, which is fine. The issue is going to be if eBay will let you. Having packages sent to a hotel is likely going to trigger a lot of fraud warnings, especially as your account is from another country.

The Korean and Vietnam Wars were constrained by not trying to turn the Cold War hot. Also, Vietnam was as much about nation-building as it was fighting an enemy.

The invasion of Grenada met all military objectives.

The Gulf War was such a success that it changed war doctrine for those choosing to fight the USA after.

The USA intervention into Somalia fell apart as the government the USA supported collapsed.

The USA intervention into Yugoslavia got Serbia to withdrawal troops from Kosovo.

The Afghanistan War successfully toppled the previous Taliban government, the USA just couldn’t build a new government to replace the existing one.

The USA toppled Saddam Hussein rather quickly after the Iraq War; the current government is wildly different in form from the old one.

The USA successfully kidnapped the Venezuelan President.

Most of the USA’s war losses were due to attempts to nation-build. If the USA chooses not to nation-build, it can launch major military attacks to disable opponents. In those fights, the USA dominates.

Beep beep beep beep

Yeah, that’s a lot worse than OP implied.
