I understand what you meant now, apologies. I thought it was a dig.
The person I was responding to said “most Americans,” and I was responding to that statement. It is difficult for most Americans to immigrate anywhere, unless they have skills/knowledge that the country they are attempting to move to is having trouble filling or independent wealth. Perhaps soon, we’ll be able to claim refugee status or political asylum, but I certainly hope it doesn’t get there.

Why are the dumbest people always the most smug?

It isn’t an active choice. Moving to Europe is not an option for most Americans.

Wow, that is pretty wild. I didn’t know London was still rocking that 19th-century roving gangs of dangerous children vibe.

He’s harping on about fentynl precursors, while the sacklers still enjoy their freedom.

I’m sure the fact she was African didn’t play a part in any of that decision making…

Ah! But it says “congress shall make no law,” not that “the president shall tweet no bullshit!”
- Comment on modern psychiatry be like 3 weeks ago:
The message is correcting a misconception utilizing a concept most people would understand better. It isn’t a call to action, just informational.
- Comment on Rep Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Elon Musk is not a scientist, he is not an engineer He is a billion 3 weeks ago:
Ironically, many of the people she is speaking to are likely to be among the lives that are dependent on such devices being safe.

I’d love to meet a Kakapo! I know that is probably not advisable for either of us, and I wouldn’t, but I feel like it would be cool
- Comment on Russia Is Wooing Western Energy Companies, but Will They Return? 4 weeks ago:
If there’s profit to be had, yes. They don’t care about their public image in the least.
- Comment on Australian and New Zealand militaries are monitoring 3 Chinese warships off Australia 5 weeks ago:
I said vessels, which means ships. This is common for military vessels to go navigate international waters where it may be contentious to do so all in the name of freedom of navigation. Three ships, one being a supply vessel, do not pose a significant threat to Australia. A carrier group might be cause for concern, but this really isn’t.
- Comment on Nope 5 weeks ago:
Canada should not only do that but do it in such a way that it would be time-consuming and costly to reconnect.
- Comment on Australian and New Zealand militaries are monitoring 3 Chinese warships off Australia 5 weeks ago:
Vessels navigating international waters is news? I don’t imagine they are pursuing any economic activities with those vessels. Freedom of navigation is supposed to be some all-important principle, so I’m not sure what the story is here.

It would actually be on congress to initiate the impeachment process. Equally unlikely.

Things are shaping up great! We have an antivax roadkill enthusiast on health, crypto bro in the vault, and Anna “Mother God” Chapman holding down the intelligence! Cool, cool, cool…
- Comment on Unions Sue to Block Musk’s Access to Treasury Payment Data 1 month ago:
The end of the civil war. Essentially, the consequences for treason and the reconstruction era were a complete failure, allowing the rot to spread and fester.
- Comment on Unions Sue to Block Musk’s Access to Treasury Payment Data 1 month ago:
Unfortunately, you’re correct. The time for courts was 1865. They didn’t do what they needed to do then, so here we are today. This was always the trajectory.

Exactly. Do they not realize this? He wasn’t appointed because they believed he would be helpful to the masses in this role.

Do you not have a general understanding of European history? That would be quite surprising.

Than you should understand the reference 🤣

I see you don’t know many Europeans.

American soldiers aren’t taught to kill themselves, so this does show a stark difference in policy and mindset.

Thanks for sharing! Based of that one video, I like homie’s energy, I’ll check out some more of his channel.
- Comment on Teen says she was forced to fly around the world with a stranger's toddler on her lap 2 months ago:
Exactly. When the airline presented that nonsense, they should have just said that they’d hold their own baby to help that young woman out.
- Comment on Teen says she was forced to fly around the world with a stranger's toddler on her lap 2 months ago:
This sounds outlandishly absurd. The airlines solution was bad enough, but what parent was all “Hell yeah stranger! Hold my baby for 14 hours!” instead of just sucking it up and holding their own goddamn baby?!? This is so far beyond rationality and the social contract that I can’t even wrap my head around this.
