Also Amazon EU I think is based in Ireland which is kind of a tax haven. We can’t even cooperate within the EU to prevent tax havens…

So what do you suggest? Keeping the moral high ground, losing election and letting Trump and his goons “benefit the people”.
This is about choosing the lesser evil and picking politics that will stoop as fucking low as possible to be elected and then do very minor social reform to actually help Americans that are struggling.
Sure it will still fucking suck but I would argue a lot less than applauding the losing democrats congratulating themselves for keeping an entirely worthless moral high-ground. If that moral high ground had any fucking value to the average American they certainly wouldn’t have re-elected Trump. Even with disinformation they all know he paid a pornstar to hide his vices and yet it just didn’t affect the slightest his campaign. Morality has absolutely 0 value in your political system. It’s valueless for your justice systems (you can pardon anybody, supreme court judges elected for life), it’s valueless for politicians since they can do anything and get away with it. Your supreme court explicitly said that Trump can order the assassination of anybody and get away with it. Is this a moral high ground? It’s the posture of a dicator and it helped him get elected.
So I’d say keep your moral high ground and once this will be the last thing remaining to you, we shall see if you still hold the same opinion. I think you would think you should have fought dirty when you still had something of actual value.

I have no problem with that pardon. I applaud Biden for this and hope the Democrats will stoop as low as the Republican and use every trick in the book.
Pardon all your mates. Elect as many Supreme Court Judges. Encourage riots. Discredit opponents, never admit fault. Cheat everywhere you can.
If the Democrats don’t start playing that game there will ironically be nothing left to save.
Really Trump pardon much much worses crimes than this. If Trump could pardon the January 6 coup participants he definitely would have. And all the other Republicans would have followed in supporting it. Instead you get some dems taking the moral high ground and shitting on their own team. The Republicans are perfectly united in their lies. They tow the party line even when it’s a coup attempt.
Just the “the McConnell rule” on its own is a great display on how dishonest the Republicans are. Rules apply only if they benefit them. Why on earth should the Democrats play fair when their opponents cheat all the way?
Your political system doesn’t punish cheaters. So cheat.

- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 4 weeks ago:
While I agree with you that some people are too thin skinned to handle some conversation online… Steam forums or YouTube comment sections are really the very worst of the worst.
If all you read is trash tier content on a platform even if you understand it, it still sucks and remain quite infuriating.
Basically, steam forums are mostly trolling so at this point it’s not about the sensitivity of people but rather that these platform are particularly bad.
- Comment on Can you help me find this political infographic? 1 month ago:
Have you searched online at all?
I think copy pasting your post literally to the dot on Google gives the result. (CBS news) :
Harris and Trump have competing tax plans. Here’s how your paycheck would change under both.
Sometimes I wonder if people like you don’t see the disrespect in asking other people to do things you could do in a matter of seconds out of pure laziness.
I obviously won’t link the article because I’m too pissed and I think you need to learn that people here are not working for you. This post is a literal waste of space and time.

- Comment on Looking for Overwatch alternatives 4 months ago:
Imo valorant has almost nothing to do with Overwatch.
The pace of those games is wildly different, the mobility also…
Valorant is CS with 10% Overwatch sprinkled on it.
I think something like Marvel’s Rivals is a much better alternative.
- Comment on Mandalorian 4 months ago:
Just want to point out that the allergic person seemed to have taken every precautions possible to avoid this. She asked the waiter and the chef multiple times to verify that the allergen wouldn’t be there and they repeatedly said it was the case.
I think there were 4 times where they confirmed that the meal was safe. It wasn’t at all.
So it looked like a really really bad mistake from the restaurant staff.

- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 5 months ago:
I follow closely what is happening in the US from France because even though we have a very different culture I still think US politics is a preview of what’s to come here.
Right now I consider we are at the step where our media are crumbling and becoming unable to properly inform us. A step that has been reached a couple of years ago in the US in my opinion.
The next step will probably be our own coup attempt in a few years and a steady increase in the division of the country and far right movements.
- Comment on Eat the rich? 5 months ago:
I want the same thing I just don’t think taking what is inherited is the way to do it.
I would much rather see the ultra pay properly their taxes when they are alive.
It’s not like taking inheritance money is the only way to finance thing. I don’t see the reasoning.
I can totally understand why someone with huge revenue would pay more taxes but I don’t see why someone who inherits has to pay.
In any case, I think you are missing the point and answering the question “for what purpose?”. Instead of “why?”.
I want to know why it’s more logical to pay taxes when you die rather than paying them in the first place when you got the revenue.
Obviously, the money collected is useful I just don’t see why it has to be collected when it is a time of sorrow for a family.
Also where I live it’s like 50% of the inheritance that is taxed. It is not just significant, it is 50% of the work of a life that goes in one shot to the state when someone dies.
- Comment on Eat the rich? 5 months ago:
Since when does wealth be shared when someone dies ?
No, the money will go to their descendants who will try to get even richer than their parents. A large part of that money will also be taken by the state because ?? and ??.
Nothing would change.

Maybe people didn’t frequently have weird hobbies before.
The way I see it internet widened enormously the diversity of knowledge we get to check. And that’s these weird rabbit holes online that create the similarly weird new hobbyist.

Israël is backed up by the most powerful country in the world both politically and militarily.
Many people do care, it’s just not something they can fix.
We can donate to lessen the suffering but at the end of the day, one dude in the Whitehouse could probably get a cease fire in minutes if they really wanted to.
- Comment on Hidden by default 6 months ago:
My instance tried to disable downvotes and it was a fiasco.
So yeah a lot of people are keen to remove user feedback in any way possible in the hope to lessen toxicity until they notice that it’s a double edged sword. People can’t dislike stuff just to troll or for bad reasons. But people couldn’t even downvote a spam bot and you essentially are at the mercy of anybody if a mod is not close by ready to act. Likes and dislikes are a way to outsource moderation to the users. So either X has a secret army of moderators or that will just result in a lot more trash being on the foreground.
No likes on X means that the spammers, racists, stalker will essentially be at the same level of visibility than any other user.
I’m sure that will go just fine…

If there is one thing I secure as much as possible it’s my main email address.
If you think about it that’s the most important account of all.
If you lose it, every account using this mail as recovery is also pwned.
I understand this is frustrating but I agree with others that there is not much else discord could do.

I don’t think so.
If they only relied on the sensor it would constantly turn on and off which is something I have never seen on that kind of faucets. I think there is always a delay before shutting down but sometimes that delay is set so low that it feels like you need to constantly activate the sensor.

Nothing really graphic here but it is accurate.
I actually couldn’t believe such picture existed. And then I remembered that this is Trump so it is to be expected.

We don’t have many big fast food chains here in France.
But MacDo seem to be indeed the only one trying to be decent.
The staff is still very much underpaid/overworked but at least they try to reduce their waste and improve the quality of the food.
Still a soulless corporation but it seems they are actually doing things pretty well.
