Considering they’re being actively and without denial used to fuck us over, yes. I’m not going to play the censorship card. The US is now no better than Russia, there’s no reason we should treat them better. US platforms are now literally an offensive weapon, Musk already started riots over fake news and is directly and openly meddling in our politics. This shit needs to stop. Just like we blocked RT news, this needs to go.

It’s in the same vein like Trump threatening military action against Greenland. Trump is literally committing extortion under the treat of war. The US is an actively hostile nation that targets everyone including their own allies. Like what the actual fuck? How did we get here? We need to decouple from the US as soon as possible. I’d go as far as compare the US to a ravid animal on the international stage, I’m absolutely mortified by what’s going on.

Jesus christ, it’s been months! Why aren’t ee protecting our selves? Ban and sanction Elon! What’s with the wait? We rarely wait THIS long to act on Russian or Chinese bullshit, and THEY TRY TO HIDE IT!

Nope, but yes, it was even worse while I still had windows.

YouTube on Firefox is a complete no go as far as I’ve tried. And not sure how much Firefox is to blame since other video players work just fine on it.

But no, I’m using Opera or other chromium browsers for Youtube nowadays. Still jitters from time to time.

Honestly feels like that’s necessary, with how much youtube jitters on my gaming rig. At least before I remember that YouTube runs like shit on every machine.

Quite so, just felt it was an important caveat to add.

In extreme cases sure, tho I feel the need to point out the context of the vats majority of criminals being conditioned into crime by their surrounding. Poverty and discrimination come to mind among others. I my opinion the best way to prevent anything is to hit it at its source, in this case making every day life more livable. Not only does that mean life must be comfortably affordable, but mental health should also be a top priority.

I occasionally do the same with an album I know takes almost exactly 1 hour to play. Have it in the background and roughly know what time it is.

Unreal is great, that’s the point. Why should it have to work along with the bs that is the creation engine? I honestly don’t see any value in keeping it alive.

My phone NEVER leaves my side, that’s not a big issue. And thankfully my wallet is 99% obsolete, as most of the cards are already in my phone, and the few that aren’t fit in my flip case. Keys are another story, fuck keys! Bulky loud ass bullshit! I’d love a keychain that could live in my phone or have the format of a card.

My Renault car has a pretty neat card that auto locks and unlocks the car. I just keep it in my breast pocket (or backpack in the summer) and forget about it.

I hate how this race to the bottom makes China look better and better each year. Fucking China! Good job assholes! The US is getting dangerously close to becoming just as bad… Well, except for the about to be fucking poor like Russia part.

The trans aliens ofc.

I very much hate christmas. Having a specific day to give everyone something is stupid. We already have everything we want (that’s not too expensive to be a gift), and even if there’s something special, christmas ruins it by being expected. In my family we finally managed to drop the charade after grandma died. Sadly, gonna be celebrating christmas with my GF’s family, and so far I’ve been unsuccessful in making them understand that I don’t want shit from them.

Christmas is just a giant collection of obligations that leaves us all worse off. Like getting and advent calendar, everyone gets mad when I skip days, just because I don’t care about Christmas. In my country we also have 3 days where all stores are closed for it. Great shit…

Oh awesome, can’t wait to explain how I got a porn site email.

The US has no extradition treaty with China (or similar). So that would likely fall under spying and the “coercing a New Jersey man wanted by Beijing into returning to China” part is very much a major step over the line.

Edit: Also jeez people, he’s just asking relatively reasonable questions form ignorance, stop tearing him a new one! Being wrong shouldn’t immediately be cause for such backslash.

That’s the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. “What did he really do?” Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it’s China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It’s iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

Omfg, it finally dawned on me. The reason the stocks when up when Trump got elected. These fucking ghouls really see any excuse to increase prices as a win. Jesus fucking christ… There’s no stop until enough people will literally drop dead.

How’s this news? That’s literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called “Temporary Hardships”. They promised and they’re going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

Not voting. If we combine harris and non voters we get a similar number to the poll. Of course that’s a major simplification, but it still has something.

Shortage of bus drivers solved by a fleet of regular drivers. Lol. I’m at a lose for words at how badly managed the US is.
