Is he that stupid that he really beleives his plan will work?

Absolutely, have you seen any sign of high intelligence coming from tRump?

Or is he so afraid of Putin’s kompromat that he’ll destroy his own country in order to keep it hidden?

I am increasingly doubting this. Do you really think a tape of some prostitutes pissing on him would change anything at this stage?

I also do not buy the notion tRump is a russian asset because he is just too stupid to be recruited… he is too stupid to be easily manipulated though.

His stupidity, at full and constant display and perfectly complimentary of the USA’s population ignorance, is more than enough to explain where we are and far far more likely than any other theories…

I don’t disagree with the premise. I may disagree encrypted hard drive by default a sensible choice

well Argentina has a horrific track record so tRump probably loves it

And the triple hit of inflation due to tariffs, reduced offer and of course speculation

Muricans are about to get tired of all the winning they voted for

such a “hack” would only work in a poorly written tv show

an unencrypted drive is like being able to look into a bank though a window, not ideal but things of value could/should/would still be in a safe or somewhere else completely

Almost no Linux distro has disk encryption turned on by default (PopOS being the major exception).

it’s usually an option in the guided disk partition

If an unencrypted computer is now unacceptable on Android, then it should be on Linux too. No excuses.

Linux is about choice, not whatever someone else thinks it’s acceptable

what a dumbass

a bit harsh ig.

Likely, sorry about that

Maybe a better formed argument is that getting into a marriage legally is way too easy compared to the legal process of leaving one.

This is a completely different point than your original one though. And, while somewhat true, the countries that have strong marriage protections will not save you from a separation even if there is no marriage (more on this below)

The part about being in a hospital, only applies if the partner is not conscious

Or impaired in multiple other ways… but yes, the not conscious part if key because you could be in a medically induced comma to spare you the pain and someone may need to advocate for you in case a decision needs to be made. If you just had minor issues, there would be no problem but we are fending off the worst scenarios, no need for legal protection for minor stuff

Some other counties have another method for this where if you’ve simply lived together long enough those sorts of protections exist.

Correct and those same laws are the ones that basically have you automatically declared “common law” (or whatever preferred term) which makes a separation almost as hard as a divorce (coming back to point 2 above)

Is it a valid reason for legally formalizing your marriage? That’s up to you and your partner to decide.

At the end of the day, yes of course it is for the couple to decide… I just want to make it clear that you do not normally get the same level of protection by just having a will or a power of attorney (or it would be actually worse in those cases) and that people should consider this WAY more than “I don’t need a paper to say I love someone”, that is not what legal marriage is about

Getting legally married is intended to protect the couple under certain circumstances as you suggest. You could attempt to perform the same with other legal means but it would be harder and costlier; like you deciding not buying a car but putting one together yourself.

The notion people get legally married out of love or worse that “a paper does not say I can love a person” seem to just have a 7 year old notion of what marriage is

This is a shallow and very “I just think about the next few hours” view…

First of all, there are a lot more legal protections to married couples even if no kids are involved. Second, I guess you know when you are going to die so you can be certain there won’t be any end of life concerns, you are certainly immune to accidents, right? But also, you don’t have to be about to die to want your fiance to be allowed in the hospital room with you (which they won’t be if you are unable to provide approval and they are not legally your partner)

The “state” does not meddle in married life either… this is a rednecky thing to say… unless of course you are referring to treating your partner like crap or attempting to deny them any protection they are legally entitled to

We were trying to be reasonable and compromise… I know, how naive of us

Now that the streaming industry plunged head first into enshitification, we are back to our previously held practices

The brave are exercising their freedom to be fucked

she has extensive experience sampling DNA

Just the fact these mediocre people want to handle so much delicate data should be enough to call for a General Strike…

Americans are now the personification of the myth of the idiot who thought cruise control was self-driving; set it up in his RV and went to the back to take a nap

I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want

And they can, but they want everyone else to live like that as well

anything but metric

/s

They are MEDIOCRE

This is the Dunning-Kruger Government in action!.. enjoy

Feel free to read it, seems like you could use an education.

This is exactly the ONE justification I kept referring to. Thanks for proving my point

I can read just fine. Once again you seem to be advocating for armed violence…

If you can’t tell the difference between school shootings and fighting Fascism, I can’t help you. You are either trolling, morally bankrupt or just dim.

There are many reasons the right to gun ownership is enshrined in the constitution

There is literally only one. It has been twisted into a pretzel of ignorance and illogical fallacies but there is only one. If you think there are more than 1, I’d be happy to read the source

Lol, your Conservative Party candidate Pierre Poilievre was well on his way to winning handily until Trump derailed him

Correct, thanks for the live example. Unlike Americans, it seems we noticed and learned… you lived through the first tRump term and decided you wanted more punishment

Your moral compass seems to lack direction. You were just advocating for armed insurrection in the US on your last post. Now you advocate for non violence?

No, your reading comprehension lacks competence. The USA is under a fascist regime and as such, an armed resistance should be forming. Canada is not under the same threat (except from the USA) and more importantly, we do not have the “right to bear arms” for a well regulated militia.

See my statement above about advocating for violence and then condemning.

A complete non-sequitur… My comment on you having the “fuck you, got mine” mentality is based entirely on your claim you are not willing to move a finger for anyone other than yourself AND that you do not think tRump is enough of a dictator to do anything about it. I am simply pointing out that you think the tRump has not “crossed the line” is that you have not been personally affected by his fascist government. It has literally zero to do with my suggestion an armed resistance should form nor am I even condemning it at all LOL

The only violence I am condemning in my comment is the fact that the idiots armed in the USA only brought school shootings… and yes, I condemn school shootings, don’t you? let me guess, it has not affected you directly so probably you’d say “we are not there yet”

Well yes but the current interpretation was that peasant masses could defend themselves from tyrannical governments… it has always been a pretzel of logic but that is what they pushed and why the USA is such a violent mess now
