I am not American. And the overwhelming majority of those 500 million weapons are with people that think Trump’s fascist America is cool.

Im broadly anti gun but i have reasoning and am not blind to their purpose.

The reality right now is that those weapons aren’t going anywhere, everything is heating up and nobody (including, increasingly, law enforcement) can be arbitrarily trusted.

So yes, as a last ditch hail mary attempt at self defense i’d recommend arming yourself because that is where the US is at.

The left really needs to get over their weapon aversion. There’s no alternative anymore.

What about Jurassic Park worked out in the end? The park got destroyed and subsequently abandoned for decades until the remains were bought out, a new park restarted, that promptly suffered the same fate. Nothing in any of those movies ever worked out.

I like to think if people want whatever it is OpenAI thinks browsers need AI for, the userbase will manifest itself.

This, entirely. Although I dont even wake up later. In fact I’m ready to act on things earlier than I would be had I immediately gone to the office, because I’m already looking at mail and tasks when I would normally leave.

Hybrid working is only a problem to people stuck in the eighties.

Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he’s very much aware if it’s importance.

“Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial” can be freely translated to “nobody would get deported”.

This is not the first time I read this sentiment, but kidnapping sounds softer to me than disappearing someone.

Kidnapping usually has a ulterior purpose and therefore the implication there’s conditions for return. Like money. Kidnapping is rarely itself the point.

That’s not the case here with government shipping people off to some foreign concentration camp, never to be seen again.

Yeah i’m definitely in team “flexibility”. I really don’t mind going to the office, tbh, even mostly, but rush hour commuting can go fuck itself and I’m just not subjecting myself to that anymore. I can start up at home and then move to the office when less people are moving themselves around.

Double income, single household, no kids. (and even then just barely, i will add)

Or, if you’re talking time wise, live in a country that isn’t run by and for corporations and you can still enjoy some paid time off.

Is it that common? How do they handle backpackers?

I’ve literally never gone on a single multi-week vacation in my entire life with fully booked accommodation for the whole thing. I book the majority of the first week and I know when I’m flying back, but in between I’m mostly guided by the wind.

I can’t book hotels in places I don’t know I’ll be going.

He is a complete character like Borat, he just doesn´t know.

Ah, another case of the ol’ caucasian deficiency.

Pretty sure this is global.

And even if you do want kids, there are requirements that have to be met.

Stable income, high enough income, a home thats big enough… People can’t have kids if half their income instantly disappears into the wallet of their landlord every month and get reamed with the other half at places like grocery stores.

The Netherlands more or less does this, so i’m not sure this take is that extremist.

But the Netherlands also doesn’t have nearly as much of a car culture, with infrastructure that favors alternatives like public transport, cycling and walking. And puts large emphasis on separating these different kinds of commuters from each other as much as possible.

This is also why it’s relatively safe cycle around routinely without any kind of protective gear. Something that most (especially overseas) tourists I meet think is wild.

Diplomacy is fine, but the US wanting to change something in the UK that is neither a humanitarian issue or something that affects them at all, is like your car mechanic telling you what kind of furniture you’re allowed to have in your house if you want him to work on your car.

He could technically do it, but it’s also fucking absurd and you’d most definitely go to a different mechanic.

And also the correct thing, from any position of reason.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

Leveraging people’s property to trash their privacy and serve them ads is really a good way to get me to avoid an entire brand for everything.

Vance saying Europe should’ve done more to stop his nation from going to war has a high levels of rapist blaming victim for their acts energy.

I was young back then so my memory of the details as i’ve experienced them are somewhat blurred, but there definitely was opposition. And that was met with statements along the lines of “if you’re not with us you’re against us/part of the problem”.

It was still sold until recently? That’s pretty wild.
