The US as a political entity is controlled by the current administration, and that’s really the only thing that matters to the rest of the world in regards to the US as a country. I feel for the people in the US who fought against this happening, but in terms of geopolitics the dissatisfaction of the populace only matters in so far as it changes the actions of your government.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

Really? That’s really surprising to me. I’m from Denmark where we use 24h time a lot so I’m used to it, but except for edge cases it’s easy to switch between them. Using Fahrenheit however is a struggle. I have to convert it every time, I have no idea about the temperature until I see it in celsius really. I guess it comes down to me having been exposed to both clock formats but only really on temperature unit.

My first thought was that the kid just aced their autism test, but I suppose that depends on what a failure means there

I feel like it’s fair to say that if you want god’s forgiveness you must accept mans judgement in cases of abuse. If their god’s salvation is worth less than however many years of prison they’d get, then that’s their choice. I don’t want them to be able to shrug off the guilt and continue the abuse with peace of mind just so they may also escape the punishment they think would otherwise await them after death.

I dual booted my study pc. Well technically I did. I didn’t use windows for a few months without thinking about it and by then I was too afraid of windows corrupting my linux if I ever booted it. So I effectively just had a Linux machine with half half the disk space. Never had a problem with it though.

The first one’s probably won’t be. But I don’t think it’s too far off. I expect the first ones to be some random non white people who commited some indefensible crimes, or at least are accused of doing so. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go for people with terrorism charges so the next batch can be accused of terrorism as well to make the leap seem smaller. That they now define vandalism against tesla as terrorism will just help murky the waters to make the life sentence without judge or jury seem more palatable than it is every step of the way.

Respect? Nah we’re literally calling the US a circus and rawing mad in our news articles now.

That’s the thing with calling the imprisonment in a foreign country “deportation”. It really muddies the water and makes it very easy for people to have an image of people being sent home, when in fact they send them to life in prison, so bad even the US doesn’t allow it yet. I hope they mean the former but fear the latter is more likely.

You fooled me into thinking this post was just a hidden 4974 reference. Really cool write up, I didn’t question it being an actually existing article until reading the replies.

Unfortunately, with all the capitulations that happened, I find it more likely that other firms will preemptively try to get in his good graces or at least keep a low profile if they haven’t already represented an enemy of Trump.
