    This is just crazy. 5 years for trying to vote as a felon.

    Well, somebody has to go to jail, don't they? Those license plates aren't going to stamp themselves.

    ‘It should feel like an extension of the living room’: Study centre is named best building in Europe

    I don't feel the need to read about everything german or comment on it. If a thread interests me, I'll post in it. Architecture is not a subject that interests me.

    My only comment is that I request you no longer highlight me for quotes in random threads I don't care about.

    North Korea conducts first "nuclear trigger" simulation drills, state media says

    I have to admit that I really don't care what happens in North Korea unless they actually detonate a nuke or start a conventional war. Any kind of drills, simulations, statements, threats or warnings are beneath my notice.

    German far-right leader in court charged with using 1940s German slogan

    Question: Why are more Democrats than Republicans choosing not to run for re election if their party is united?
