Dear baby Jesus, dude, go watch some “news” from US sources? Everyone just went with the program and there is very little pushback from the press. Oh yeah, there is pushback but it’s a fraction of what it could be, should be.

You haven’t watched the news lately, have you? Trump simply says you’re a traitor and you’ll be “investigated” as in someone will write a doc saying why you should be deported (you’re a terrorist! Evidence not required) and you’ll be on a flight out.
This current US government really doesn’t give a shit about facts

Probably a bit of both, anon
But in reality it’s not fucked up, it’s just who you are and what you like, though again your tight ass upbringing may have given you some ideas

Sounds like your partner has a lot more issues than just add. Have you ever looked into narcissistic behavior?

You’re quite enthusiastic there with the idea that anyone would actually investigate any of that instead of just saying “yeap, treason!”

Whenever to watch something like this I feel happy about climate change. Humans won’t survive the next 100 years and what ever comes after, I just hope it’ll learn from us. Don’t be us.

Why do you think I live in a shitty country?
Also, large corporations suck no matter what country

Oh for sure, that is how it SHOULD be, but it’s not. That is what I was trying to say, we live in a shitty world, don’t trust companies

That is partially on you
Don’t trust companies, especially big companies.
You want me to move to a different city? Pay me.
You want me to quit my current job? I will right after I have signed an actual contract that guarantees I’ll have a job with you.
I will NOT risk my life for some billionaire CEO

- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 1 week ago:
Someone is feeling positive and adventurous, talking about voting and stuff… Do you really think that you’ll be able to vote in a fair election next time?
The work that I’ve seen done to sabotage voting before and after last US elections ntrlls me that cheeto&co are hell bent on making sure no one in the US will be able to vote honestly ever again.
The time to do something was 6 months ago, now its too little, too late

- Comment on Anyone? 2 weeks ago:
Aahhh, plucking my fingers. It’s so ingrained in my head that there is some special separate process (that I don’t control) in my brain taking care of this.
My wife will slap my hands when I do it because I asked her to help me stop it but even when in my head I’m like “stop. It. Now.” then one hand just moves to the other and starts plucking and I’m like “wtf, I said stop!”
The one thing that I’ve noticed that helps is prayer beads. I’m atheist, but they work wonders to occupy that little process in my head, I redirect all it’s attention to those beads and so with one hand I’m moving the beads one click forward every half second or so all day long. That works!

- Comment on Trump DOJ goon threatens Wikipedia 3 weeks ago:
The US still controls ICANN and with that they can pretty much do with DNS names whatever they want. Steal it from a German registrar? Well yeah, they actually can, what are you going to do to stop that? That is a known issue, actually.
I fully agree that they can switch domains but do not underestimate the importance.of domain names.
Also, they can force Google and Bing to censor Wikipedia completely, not having any links to it anywhere. With that, for most users it won’t exist anymore
There is a shit load of things that they can do to really make everyone miserable, this is what you get for giving the US damn near veto powers on Internet issues
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 weeks ago:
I’d probably be dead in no time for a long list of reasons
First of all, nobisy would be able to understand me, as even current English would be barely recognizable by them
Then there is the issue that I’m probably at least a foot taller than most people and let’s just say that “being even remotely different” back then was a good reason to be killed
Then there is the food issue. Food was scarce (hence most people being quite a bit shorter than me) so it’d be hard to keep myself fed. Clean water? Hah, good luck with that.
Then there is the issue of diseases. I probably carry shit that their bodies won’t be able to handle, si being around me will likely make people sick, which in turn will get me labeled as a witch which would get me tortured and burned. Similarly but conversely, loads of diseases that were rampant back then are now gone, and likely my body is less equipped to handle that, I’d die from some disease
Ignoring all of that…
I’d probably start spreading the knowledge of democracy, and the harms of religion, and how important it is to immediately kill kings or king wannabes. I’d make a library with a vast wealth of knowledge and give access to the first country that successfully transforms itself to a representative atheist democracy with laws in place to ensure that no king, fascist, or wannabe will ever be able to rise up again.
That country would become the dominant world power within decades, spreading democracy and science over the world.

- Comment on Trump DOJ goon threatens Wikipedia 3 weeks ago:
But it does
It can confiscate the domain name and with that, Wikipedia will be gone. People all over the world will have backups, and clones will spawn like there is no tomorrow but there is no federation, so each will do their own independent thing, fracturing mankinds knowledge even more
