People like you, are why I moved away.
Sure you could just be another Russian troll.
But I knew way too many fucking idiots like you in real life too years ago as to know there’s a good chance that you’re not a troll.
The only consolidation I have is that dumbasses like you will suffer along with the rest, even if not as much as you deserve compared to those who knew better.
Imagine saying that with a straight face with one side has just declared they want to very actively partake in the genocide and just do the job themselves.
This is like saying giving a murderer a knife is the same as going in with a machine gun yourself.
Elizabeth Eckford had the protection of the federal government (this is it you ignore that she got PTSD so bag from the experience she attempted suicide btw).
Today’s federal government on the other hand is on the side of the people yelling:
You ever hear about the Black Panthers? You know why they were so successful California and the FBI had to intervene to try to disband them? Here’s a hint:
And you know why they were armed? Here’s another hint to how non-armed black protestors were usually dealt with in history (sfw example):
An unarmed protest is a defenseless one with no deterrent for the aggressors. And if you’re protesting against literal Nazis, it’s not going to be peaceful. Even during Trump’s first term people were kidnapped, and he’s way more unhinged this time.
Trump’s people would probably be more likely to shoot you if unarmed, than if the crown was armed.
It’s been shown multiple times (and through history) the the opposing force is less likely to shoot the protestors if the protesters can shoot back, because now there’s also an actual danger to them.
If people don’t go armed, I’m worried what could happen.
Because they don’t have to worry about fuck ups. Americans are gonna do jack shit about it. Otherwise something would have already been done.
Well of course, now the medicine was that old “bubblegum” flavor instead.
Nah, EU likes them avocados and fruit too, especially in winter.
Looking forward to cheaper maple syrup!
Must be an interesting corner of Lemmy you found to have seen people who had enthusiasm for Kamala.
Most here we’re as enthused as a kid taking that old school bitter liquid antibiotic.
Imagine thinking healthcare workers didn’t have enough money in 2020 of all years.
What they didn’t have was rest if anything.
Maybe you should do like RFK Jr and check for brain worms, since you forgot the damn pandemic.
But you’re literally propping up a much farther right republican party, and the dissolution of any democracy.
That is, by definition, hypocrisy. That’s not me calling you a name, that’s pointing out a fact in your actions.
Your actions and stated desired ultimate outcome simply don’t match.
Your argument doesn’t follow logic.
you say voting for Dems would destroy it, but letting literal fascists get absolute power would also destroy it, permanently, while also destroying why change for actual leftists to gain power.
for some reason you think it’s better to let the fascists win to destroy the center right, but not destroy the fascists by not allowing them to gain power continuously???
you stated it’s not ethical to allow the Democrats to continue existing as they are because they’re not as a whole left wing and are also causing harm, but it’s ethical to have many more suffer? That’s just hypocrisy.
you assume the DNC is dumb rather than corrupt
you assume you’ll still have a legitimate democracy after Trump.
Actual leftists KNEW that already. Kamala, Biden, the majority of the DNC - they’re all corrupt corporatists.
But the situation the USA was in was one of minimizing overall damage. And with the corporatists, there was still a small chance of gaining some control from them peacefully via elections, if simply because more left leaning people can at least run under the Democrat moniker.
With the fascists, that opportunity is gone. By allowing them to win, not only do you worsen the genocide occuring in Israel (if not ensured Israel from achieving it entirely), but also just got killed a bunch of other people and hurt a huge amount of minorities in the USA as well.
Not voting didn’t stop the genocide and never would have, but it did guarantee that it gets worse while hurting other innocents outside of Palestine as well. If you didn’t vote for Kamala (which literally means “horrible” in Finnish), you’re a dumbass, because you allowed a greater evil to prevail. Especially since I know many of y’all abstainers are still paying taxes anyway and funding the genocides either way.
I think it supports Galaxy S9
She voted against the railroad workers strike, so nah. She sold out to the DNC for a chance at power only for Pelosi to go assist her anyway.
She’s still one of the best politicians y’all have though. But that bar is so low it’s underground, so…
I should have elaborated.
In the EU, if buying from another EU country, you just put in your VAT# to exclude VAT. But your country’s tax administration can then ask to justify a business expense. You can only claim VAT paid on foreign (non -EU) imports once doing taxes for reimbursement if it was paid.
I have a feeling Estonia’s tax administration doesn’t ask as many questions as the Finnish one.
That said, there’s usually an actual exception for luxury cars, if it’s for your sales people (or if you do the sales, yourself). Luxury branding can be used as a “marketing tactic” due to “presentation”. Basically, if you’re meeting with a potential customer, looking like you’re successful technically makes you look more reliable. Essentially business attire for your personal transportation.
Not saying it’s necessarily true, but it’s actually a really old thing done in many countries.
I don’t know about other tech companies, but if you run a local AI you at least won’t have to worry about that. You don’t need a high end computer if you only use it sparingly anyway.
Otherwise, stick to open source or privacy friendly tech as much as possible and you’ll avoid him pretty well. Linux software alternatives are definitely not supported by him I’m sure (like Krita, GIMP, and Libre Office).
Email is a bit tricker with the news about Proton, but I think Tuta and Posteo are alright. Again, this could also be something that can be run on a local mini server if you’re interested.
If it’s about the phone, I suggest either a used Pixel with Graphene, used Samsung with /e/ if you have the tech know how, or a Murena’s new phone (if it’s available yet where you are - if not let me know), or if you have the money, a Fairphone 5.
I can also help you out with setting up non-cloud stuff if you want, like security cams if you’re interested.
For smart home automation you can do Home Assistant , which now also has pre-made hardware available (could be useful if you need to control/ automate grow lights, sprinklers, or chicken coop heaters).
In the last decade (not counting fish & hunting) I’ve known the name of every animal I’ve eaten and I or my partner slaughtered it.
I misread that at first and thought it included wild animals.
Which made me think of a moose eating your turnips and you glaring at him and saying “uuuu, Ricky, when I catch you Ricky…”
That’s only true if there was actual significant violence by the protestors at least in the last half century.
If a dog barks all the time but never bites you’ll stop fearing it.
