That card lock isn’t to keep someone else from stealing your card, it’s to make you take it. As long as the machine will only do what you’ve asked after you take your card, the bank isn’t responsible for your card at all.
I’ve seen machines that still hold the card so it can’t be removed (even though it remains visible), and will only release the card before completing whatever transaction you’ve asked it to do. Like, you have to take the card before it’ll tell you your balance or give you cash or whatever. This is 100% a “we’re not taking responsibility for you leaving your card in the machine” thing.

I have yet to see any evidence americans will “use their guns” against fascists.
The people who have traditionally yelled about 2A and “the gubmint” taking their guns are today’s fascists. Besides that, using firearms to topple a fascist regime that controls the most powerful military the world has ever seen will require a great deal of organization, planning, coordination, supply, and about ten times as many people doing non-“infantry” stuff to have a snowball’s chance in hell of being successful - let alone the political support of a whole lot of state and local governments.
Not sure what you think should be happening short of a full civil war. I mean, that’s what it’s gonna take, and that’s what’s gonna happen, but you can’t seriously think that the practical foundations are yet in place for it.

I’d imagine that machine sewing is quite useful in “making the thing,” but hand sewing is more fun for “doing the stitch”. And there can be some stitches on a “thing” that require hand sewing even if most of it is machine made, so it’s not a bad idea to know some different hand stitch techniques.
No. It’s a comic, not an abacus.

It’s not even a real issue. The number of trans athletes is extremely small, and none of them are out there setting crazy records.
Depends on the thing, and the age of the old thing. I love old cars, but I also recognize that safety and emissions standards and reliability have come a loooong way since even the 1990s.
Consider, too, that the military needs every sack of meat to be able to shoot straight, load mags, clear malfunctions, clean and maintain. By extension, the light arms they use are designed to be as dead simple as possible.
