My hand might be forced someday.
Otherwise, I’d need a specific destination and reason to want to live there instead of “I don’t want to live here.” I make a point to not have “grass is greener” syndrome, sometimes to a fault.

I cannot exaggerate to you that this 100% fulfils the negative perceptions of European governments that American isolationists have. The article says they cut Ukraine funding to fund social programs. The right-wing narrative in America is that needing to have the huge military is why we have a weak social safety net (not true btw, med4all for example would save Uncle Sam money) which is framed as “we pay for European social programs.” But here’s a government… literally cutting military spending in the middle of aiding a real war that could be highly consequential to the country in question to fund social programs.
How is an American supposed to argue in favor of funding the defense of Europe when the richest country in Europe doesn’t want to fund the defense of Europe? If Germany gets to decide to go for “Germany first,” how long until “Britain first?” “France first?” “Italy first?” Will Ukraine funding just be a hot potato that everyone will claim is important but nobody actually wants to do?
When European countries started raising military spending in response to a threat, it weakened American isolationist arguments. But this strengthens them. I hope no other European countries pull this shit.

If I can extend it to the brain, no family history of schizophrenia (I don’t have it myself but it’s the reason I intend to abstain from psychedelic drugs.)
Living in a state with universal mail-in voting, I honestly think I just don’t understand how hard it is in states without that.
please tell me this is a joke
France really is just America in a different language and on a time delay.
Nobody in America believes “art will change the world” shit anymore. For good reason.
I personally think that’s the only likely scenario where there’d be war on American soil.
When I got into Tsukihime I realized it was just Twilight for male 20 somethings, and that’s when I finally understood
It’s the lesser of two evils vs. for-profit dating apps.
Pretty much, the Republican party all the way up to Trump doesn’t even hide that they’re anti-Democracy, and attempts to break democratic systems that underpin our entire government nay our way of life are basically out in the open.
Hope it’s not as bad as I think (“as bad as I think” means “mass killings;”) What else can I do? Everyone else here seems to be privileged enough to have the skills or plain cash to say “I’ll go somewhere else,” isn’t as worried as they should be, or think they’re Apocalypse Badass Man (see: accelerationists.) That’s not me. I’m unskilled, poor, I have the self-introspection to know I don’t have what it takes to be a revolutionary.
Game Pass is a profoundly stupid decision. It doesn’t make it’s money back and now Xbox users are used to not paying for games. And from a consumer perspective, enshittification always eventually happens with subscriptions.
FOSS is strongly supported by communists, but there’s also strong support for it from right-libertarians (when I was younger I remember the stereotype being that Linux users believed taxation was theft)
(I agree that the way FOSS operates is anarcho-communist in nature; I just think people with fringe politics are more likely to support FOSS in general)
KaiOS (which has a fairly specific reason to exist that doesn’t apply to most iOS or Android users) notwithstanding I don’t see a third competitor gaining any serious traction (traction = apps actually existing = phone actually being usable) this late into the game.
I’m no combat expert, but I’ve heard some people say numbers don’t win modern wars so a draft isn’t necessary.
With China in particular it would be poking the bear; recruitment is on the decline in both China and USA.
A while back I remember hearing “dying” was only accurate in the West, but that was a matter of years ago so it may or may not still be true.

To me it sounds like this is saying they’d have to make their own hardware if they wanted to make Dreamcast or Saturn Mini, not that they intend to do so.
Huh? Source on this? Their latest arcade board line uses Intel CPUs and nVidia GPUs. That’s the only hardware they make right?
They lost the war, then Lincoln got shot.
