I buy em with card in California. It’s gotta be debit, which is effectively cash.

Neither do I. However, unregistered foreign agents should be strictly forbidden. They're just a more boring version of spies, which all reasonable agree should be illegal.
​
If you aren't personally taking money from foreign agents to run influence campaigns, this won't affect your ability to say crazy stuff even a little.

Okay.. do you have any facts, studies, stats, articles, stories-anything -to support your claim? Have you worked for a state lottery? Have some insider knowledge that we don’t?
Or did you just make your mind and state your opinion based on the assumption that doing so would somehow carry more weight than well documented historical fact?
State lotteries are run differently in every state. To make the claim that because yours is anonymous and you suspect zero issues with it is great. Maybe there’s not, but in the past and elsewhere there absolutely have been.
It’s just a strange way to engage with reality. If you do a quick cursory search online you will find a ton of examples of lottery fraud that has been perpetuated and, in response, states that have changed their laws thusly to require disclosure. Your opinion doesn’t change that.
If you think relatives knocking on your door for cash is worse than multimillion dollar fraud… 🙄
Edit: Honestly, don’t bother responding. I’m turning off notifications. Make whatever claim you want, I don’t want to spend the energy on it.

May/June elections. Not sure if they pushed them back, but heard that would be unconstitutional. Erdogan buckled on Sweden and Finland joining NATO real quick so that was fun to watch, going to be the fight of his political life.

That's also not what vegan is but feel free to build yet another strawman. Looking up a definition isn't that hard.
"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

People might kind of make fun of this, but the only earthquakes I've experienced in California were around this magnitude, and its scary as hell when you wake up and your bed is shaking.

I have complex feelings about Canada's solution to firearm control. l I do have significant issues with the recent developments.
It's one thing to require these things it's another when the next government comes in and promptly uses it to strip thousands of gun owners who have done nothing wrong of their firearms. Which is why it's such a resisted method of control in the US.

In the US, the cash requirement is to prevent people from running up gambling debts on their credit cards.

You are a left wing authoritarian wanting to restrict free speech. Don’t want government deciding what is misinformation

Obviously that's the reason some states have the rules - that is well known and not at issue. I'm saying that it's unnecessary and does more harm than good.

I get peace activists want peace but what's the alternative to ensuring Ukraine can fight Russia? Allowing Russia to conquer Ukraine? Doesn't that set a precedent for even more conquest?

Okay dude you are just picking at straws. Of course there are exceptions and I would say those exceptions are a good thing. I don’t see what you are trying to get at.

I didn’t realize the UK got earthquakes. Must have been scary for those who experienced it.

Yeah I lost power a couple of times last summer. Once for 4 days. I actually think summer is worse without power. Easier to get warmer than cooler in my opinion.

“Not all men” of course is what it seems like you are trying to say. But statistically, it’s 20/80 men/women in committing violent crimes:
