have you petitioned your government to sanction the US?
I’ve done better than that: my business has stopped selling to Americans. It’s a big financial hit and our US customers are pissed, but when Americans don’t buy from us, they don’t send tariff money into the Nazi coffers.
Amputation pain is right up there, followed closely in the long term by phantom pain.
Then nausea.
Then tinnitus.
A large part of why they’re the worst for me is that you can’t do anything about them.
not every American is part of the problem,
While I understand that a lot of individual Americans are indeed the unfortunate victims of Trump, my point is that, as a nation, it’s too easy to distance yourself from the outcome of the election. You may be a hard-core Democrat, a real traditional Republican - or indeed anything other than a MAGA Nazi, but if you’re American, you own Trump. It’s your mistake. It’s too easy to profess democracy and free elections, and then complain that you didn’t want that. You did want that. And you got it.
What I’m saying is, while I feel for you as an individual human being who seem nice and reasonable, I lump you with the problem and I fully blame you for it as an American.
the ethical implications of your own actions?
You elected Trump and I should consider the ethical implications of my actions? That’s rich!
Get rid of your Nazi problem and then we’ll talk. As long as Trump or any of his Nazi underbosses are in power, I have zero respect for Americans.
I wish the immature numbskulls who vote for fascist convicted felons weren’t allowed to vote in the first place, because they’re clearly not mentally competent to do so. But of course, this is not how democracy works: democracy implies that everybody has an equal say in how their country is run, however dumb they are.
All the same, ask trans people, not-quite-white-enough Salvadorian concentration camp deportees, dying children in Africa because USAID let them down and federal workers who are out of a job what they think of the American democracy…
And quite frankly, I don’t give a shit what good upstanding citizens like you think they should do next: it’s too late. The US is too far down the path. I’m personally of the opinion that there won’t be elections in 2026: Trump and his henchmen will deploy their SS goons - aka ICE - in blue states for one pretext or other and cancel the election results there.
The right way to deal with this was not electing a fucking fascist into office. But the American people - not you Mr. nice guy, but you as a nation - decided to be utter morons instead
And now you feel all cross because I call you out on it? Well how cute. Cry me a fucking river.
Considering the trash Americans vote for when they vote and the misery that ensues, the world would be a better place if they didn’t.
Feel offended all you want, ask any foreigner and that’s what they’ll tell you. The rest the world is fed up to the back teeth with the US.
Why doesn’t anybody ever point out that it’s unconstitutional?
Doesn’t anyone bother to correct Trump anymore? I know it’s tiresome when the guy told 30,573 verfied lies during his first term. That’s 21 lies per day on average that all need to be debunked, and that’s a lot of work. But that’s not a reason to let him run with any old bullshit.
Trump can’t strip anybody of their citizenship, anymore than foreign countries pay for his stupid tariffs. Rosie O’Donnell is quite safe.
If only we had some sort of agency to check if food is safe…
The incompetent former Youtuber and the former shyster trollop duke it out over crazy conspiracy theories, while America weeps.
The millionaires I’m talking about are the millionaires from the eighties who partied with Epstein and all knew who he was and what he was doing. Hell, his fucking private jet was nicknamed the Lolita Express…
A million in the eighties was a lot of money. It got you 4k of snow tops.
Yeah, I really feel for those poor innocent millionaires who associated with a known pedo totally in good faith.
It’s different this time around.
The previous attempts were about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly,
This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.
I reckon it’s serious this time.
how can she call herself a Christian and be in the MAGA cult?
If she’s a MAGA christian, she’s in two cults.
The obvious answer to your question is that she’s prone to falling prey to cults.
Proving once again, if there was still a need, that MAGAts aren’t the brightest candles on the chandelier.
Well, FEMA funds are being redirected towards building concentration camps in the Everglades. Whatcha gon do without any money?
Is there anything in the US that gets better?
poettering is an absolute good guy here
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
pulesaudio protocol is used within pipewire and it works just fine.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
Poor little Grok is just trying to make Daddy proud…
Yeah. I don’t struggle with the pain so much: I have it, but it’s mostly like electric shocks, and somehow it feels like a TENS machine. So as long as it’s not too intense or too long, I’m okay.
But I really struggle with itching.
I just lumped itching with phantom pain because it’s easier to explain to people who don’t know.
