I am not American. And the overwhelming majority of those 500 million weapons are with people that think Trump’s fascist America is cool.

Im broadly anti gun but i have reasoning and am not blind to their purpose.

The reality right now is that those weapons aren’t going anywhere, everything is heating up and nobody (including, increasingly, law enforcement) can be arbitrarily trusted.

So yes, as a last ditch hail mary attempt at self defense i’d recommend arming yourself because that is where the US is at.

The left really needs to get over their weapon aversion. There’s no alternative anymore.

What about Jurassic Park worked out in the end? The park got destroyed and subsequently abandoned for decades until the remains were bought out, a new park restarted, that promptly suffered the same fate. Nothing in any of those movies ever worked out.

This, entirely. Although I dont even wake up later. In fact I’m ready to act on things earlier than I would be had I immediately gone to the office, because I’m already looking at mail and tasks when I would normally leave.

Hybrid working is only a problem to people stuck in the eighties.

Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he’s very much aware if it’s importance.

“Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial” can be freely translated to “nobody would get deported”.

This is not the first time I read this sentiment, but kidnapping sounds softer to me than disappearing someone.

Kidnapping usually has a ulterior purpose and therefore the implication there’s conditions for return. Like money. Kidnapping is rarely itself the point.

That’s not the case here with government shipping people off to some foreign concentration camp, never to be seen again.

Yeah i’m definitely in team “flexibility”. I really don’t mind going to the office, tbh, even mostly, but rush hour commuting can go fuck itself and I’m just not subjecting myself to that anymore. I can start up at home and then move to the office when less people are moving themselves around.

Double income, single household, no kids. (and even then just barely, i will add)

Or, if you’re talking time wise, live in a country that isn’t run by and for corporations and you can still enjoy some paid time off.

Is it that common? How do they handle backpackers?

I’ve literally never gone on a single multi-week vacation in my entire life with fully booked accommodation for the whole thing. I book the majority of the first week and I know when I’m flying back, but in between I’m mostly guided by the wind.

I can’t book hotels in places I don’t know I’ll be going.

He is a complete character like Borat, he just doesn´t know.

Ah, another case of the ol’ caucasian deficiency.

Pretty sure this is global.

And even if you do want kids, there are requirements that have to be met.

Stable income, high enough income, a home thats big enough… People can’t have kids if half their income instantly disappears into the wallet of their landlord every month and get reamed with the other half at places like grocery stores.

Diplomacy is fine, but the US wanting to change something in the UK that is neither a humanitarian issue or something that affects them at all, is like your car mechanic telling you what kind of furniture you’re allowed to have in your house if you want him to work on your car.

He could technically do it, but it’s also fucking absurd and you’d most definitely go to a different mechanic.

And also the correct thing, from any position of reason.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

You’ve been here for year and blocked 264 people, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but ever consider the problem is not the people you block? I think i’ve legitimately blocked maybe 20 people in my whole entire online life (I’m almost 40), most of it spent on platforms like Reddit.

But then I have a high aversion for echo chambers and only block obvious trolls, mostly to keep them from blowing up my notifications. I feel it’s much better to just not give random strangers on the internet the power to actually affect your mood.

It was still sold until recently? That’s pretty wild.

Trump has the “excuse” of having to depend on El Salvador for this but there’s no way Bukele has no control over their prison system. This is the same guy that had the weight to “sanitize” El Salvador of criminals, i’m sure there’s nothing within El Salvador’s borders this guy can’t control.

In other words, this man will die in CECOT.

This guy is likely already dead, which would also be the only somewhat logical explanation as to why Nayib can’t return him.

What do you mean with fully banned in this example?

Pretty sure here in Europe there are also still plenty of cases where you’re not forced to remove asbestos, like inaccessible old plumbing that’s embedded in the utility shafts of apartment blocks. So it’s also not fully banned here yet either, in that sense.

Even though mom and pop stores are mostly dead, Amazon’s market share is thankfully still relatively contained where I live. So it’s still simply a matter of just picking a different “big box store” to order your things from.

My money is on this too. How card could it realisticly be to ring them up and have them send somebody back.

Someone is obviously stalling.
