US from a mildly so so hero country to a suspectable place that creates concentration camps and jails people in them permanently

Ok hold on a sec there, I agree these developments are awful but the US was never a hero country and has been illegally permanently jailing and torturing people for decades, besides all the couping democratically elected governments, murdering native people, not letting go of slavery, and so on and so on.

No, Putin has orchestrated the fall of the USA from a competent evil superpower to an incompetent evil large power.

Suits are to keep you safe, glove boxes are to keep the things inside them safe. Also never seen them used together though, you’re right about that.

So Thiel is really in control then, since Musk is actually an idiot. The idea that Thiel thought “I can’t trust this guy to do anything” when he kicked Musk out of PayPal, and now “Wait, I need someone to ruin something and run it into the ground, I’ve got just the guy” is somehow absolutely hilarious to me.

I do know the specifics of this guy and he is an absolute boot-licking uncle tom dickhead who made a lot of money becoming a politician and selling out his own people (and everyone else in Aotearoa) and he can go fuck himself.

Edit:

The cost of which could have paid for at least one dose of medicine.

Uh, maybe, but you could also just make the tech companies pay a tiny fraction of taxes and then you could have both

Yeah like I’m open to being shown evidence that drag was/is trolling, there are definitely people out there who would do that. But out of quite a few posts I haven’t really seen any, and I figured someone would have linked some in the big flame threads sometime.

The thing is though it doesn’t have to be intentional hate to be transphobia. Someone can mean well and still be transphobic. They can believe that trans people deserve to have their rights respected and still be transphobic. And really pretty much anything which “us[es] the same tactics of abuse” almost certainly crosses that line.

Having been to some European cities and having lived there are pretty different.

Chicago has awesome cultural stuff and that makes it great to live in for some people, but there is nowhere in the USA which really has a good quality of life when it comes to transport, housing, working standards/rights, healthcare, the basic food in the supermarket, and so on and so on. Most of these things aren’t ones you notice when you just visit a place for a little while.

But that’s pretty much exactly what this is? Just some random unlockable phone with rebadged lineage on it…

Maybe some of them are, but I think most of the down votes are just from people who recognise this as an obvious scam

Why? It’s pretty much just dropshipping some year old low end chineseum phone with rebranded lineageos. I could probably do that by April starting now…

Doesn’t want people to see his botched hair implants

Graphene is absolutely the best choice for that exact situation, please do look into it more. It is far ahead of anything else for enabling you to stay safe. You do still have to make sure to set it up correctly, which takes some careful reading, but the instructions are out there.

You can stretch an r if you roll it

to be able to serve ads it has to track you to some extent

Yeah but this is just a lie, they just choose advertising providers that work like that

Can you fiddle up a weird black screen with lots of $ and # symbols? Yes, its a Unix and its probably Linux.

You heard it here first folks, windows is a Unix and probably Linux!

The SPD has zero incentive to roll over

And yet they do it every time

It’s safe as a one off but consistent use can cause some pretty severe problems

I agree it’s a huge concern and I also absolutely don’t trust the CDU, and especially Merz, as far as I can throw them. However I’m just saying that the situation is not identical to the USA, there are some points of difference.

The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the SDP CDU broke that and started working with AfD.

I’m also very worried about that, but it’s another point of difference - there were historically enormous protests (tens to hundreds of thousands per city, well over a million total, more than a percent of Germany’s total population) several times recently because CDU looked like it was slightly cooperating with them with an informal and unbinding agreement about immigration. These protests had the support of the churches, the sports leagues. Various senior government figures support outright banning the AfD. It would not be as easy for them as in the USA, where everyone immediately capitulates.

Let’s be clear here, the right extremist party got over 20% which is really bad for sure, but the mid-right party rules out working with them in a coalition no matter what. That’s rather different from where the rest of the republicans and many democrats fall over themselves to do whatever the lunatic fringe says. Further, the American billionaires are strong influencers of these trends in other countries. The core of the disease is the USA even when there are symptoms everywhere.
