Moving to another country, especially when the native language is not English, that’s a massive challenge. It’s important that you’re going there for a positive reason. Otherwise you could have chosen anywhere, right? So your motivation to be a community member there would be low. So don’t just run away from Musk. Find other goals and reasons to aim for Italy.

Also, every country and city has some assholes loving in it. Not everyone is very kind. That’s life.

If that’s his best he needs a new career and a new brain

I don’t think postmodernism had much to do with it. Go ask your average MAGA racist if they even know what that term means and they’ll shrug their shoulders. Similarly, the research does not show that your echo chamber theory holds water, and in fact it suggests the opposite. In the days before the world wide web, people were actually stuck in echo chambers, that being the communities where they lived.

God bless DCVS.

First of all, they won’t arrest everyone. Even extreme governments on the tail end of their horrible leadership don’t arrest everyone. They need some citizens to be there working jobs. Rather, they would aim to arrest enough people to scare everyone else and then some other people randomly just for the hell of it.

But if you think staying under the radar is going to make your life better, maybe you should read some history books. Who do you think is coming to save you? Who do you think is coming to make your community better? When do you think they’re going to arrive? Outside forces will not fix contemporary US political problems. It doesn’t work that way, not when everyone has armies and nuclear weapons.

Sadly, quite possibly things could get far worse before they get better, so if you want to plan for some unfortunate eventualities, that might be a reasonable decision. But don’t think for a second you can run from them. And even if you could, what kind of human would that make you? What kind of person do you want to be?

Step 1: Don’t generalize. Don’t say “Americans” when you mean “some Americans”. As you can see from browsing here and on other media sites, there are a great many vocal people who have voted Democrat for years but are entirely disappointed by decades of failed DNC leadership.

Step 2: Remind people that everyone is on their own side. Politicians might vote the way you want, or not, but their interests will never be exactly the same as yours. Don’t ever believe that the two-party system is an accurate description of our values.

Step 3: Share memes of Schumer.

LibreOffice is solid, too.

Tried? That is boring. Stick with what we kept using.

It is funny how he is playing himself. Companies that export to the U.S. are obviously trying to establish and stabilize other markets, because that’s basic economic stability. As they continue to do so, his tariffs continue to lose power.

Have you looked at Wikipedia already? It is a good starting point.

Drink and drive? Also, understand that in some states, you could have 1-2 drinks and depending on your body and the exact timing still be under the legal limit.

Of course responsible people have a designated driver. That definitely happens, but not as often as you would hope. So we all know that if you live near the arena, be extra careful when the game ends, because half the drivers around you are drunk. That’s common sense in the big cities.

That’s where the mini split unit goes, lol. See the vent above it? For the pipes and wires.

Not true. He said he would reduce corruption and lower food prices. Many MAGA voters somehow believed this.

It isn’t paranoia. I know how many items I have had to discard because of small stains. Light colors are a waste of money.

Of course we tolerate dishonesty all the time, though.

Cost who, my friend? What kind of fraud? Don’t try to be cute.

For example, if someone gets $3 extra on food stamps, FFS good on them. If Musk gets millions (more, but let’s lowball it), he can rot in hell.

Of course the US promised to defend Ukraine. That was the Budapest Memorandum. That is why Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal. Trump is lying again.

I have used it on old underpowered computers happily for years. There’s just no need for anything with high specs.

I think you can’t use the word cynical in that way. People can be cynical, but corporations can’t. Corporations don’t have that type of thought or feeling.

So I’m really not sure what you’re trying to ask. Are you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?

If you want the answer to your question, just go read. A lot of people are doing a lot already. It’s just not Washington Democrats.

But if you want to know why we should be targeting the Democrats, it’s because we know what the Republicans in Washington were able to do when Obama was president and when Biden was present. The Dems have power, but they are pretending that they don’t.

And we the people are calling out to these Democrats and telling them hey, if you want the country to survive, you need to level up. And if you don’t, and the country does somehow survive anyway, we will make sure to throw you to the curb as soon as we can. But we really do need your help now because the situation is s***.
