Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.

True, but there are nuances. Stealing a symbol and giving it new meaning by using it for a different purpose is obviously a worse kind of appropriation than adopting language and culture.

Catholics make up only about 25% of the US population. US Americans also seem to have their own flavor of Christianity, where being nasty and cruel to your neighbor and killing everything you don't like weirdly is part of their beliefs.

It's not wasted completely time... you gained Gimp skills

I know it's probably necessary to reiterate these points to people who still don't get it, over and over again. But as someone with a functioning brain I find these "stating the obvious" headlines very tiring.

Bought a new PC and switched from dual boot Win10/Linux to Linux only. All of the games I'm playing work well, so no need for Windows 11

Also the stakes are quite high to become the greatest war criminal of all time.

Maybe just try to stay reasonably healthy to annoy them. Eating crap leads to obesity and other health issues which make you weak, unhappy, dependent, isolated and (if you live in the US) also poor. Don't let them win by making it easier for them to have power over you.

Of course not. Visas can be revoked at any time for any reason. Why do people always expect some kind of benefit for their donations? /s

little choice for amazon the logistic company

Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like "Otto" and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.

And yet, a Republican openly opposing his supreme leader is pretty unusual these days. That's something most Democrats don't seem to be able to do currently.

Yeah, I know. Especially the MS Office dominance is still a problem in business scenarios. For private use though there are office solutions which are "good enough" (Office 365 and Google Docs, Spreadsheets etc in a Browser, Libreoffice to name a few)

Maybe you were just unlucky in your specific hardware combination? I did literally dozens of Ubuntu installations on very different hardware over the years. Most of the time it was a matter of minutes, and without any glitches or need for troubleshooting.

People like to complain that Linux is complicated to setup and use. In recent years, it's increasingly the opposite. Basic windows settings locations are shuffled around and hidden and you have to use the Windows Commandline/Powershell to get things done. And installing Linux is also much faster and most of all doesn't ask you a hundred questions how to best steal your data.

I'm not happy with Honor and I will not buy another one. So much bloat, crap that connects to chinese servers and can't be uninstalled or even disabled.

Maybe vassals is too strong-worded to describe the phenomenon. But living in western Europe I have firsthand experience in the relationship between the US and my country in the past decades. The US offered protection to the "free world", but of course this comes at a price. The US had to be regarded as a role model in many ways, and everything that came out of the US, was copied and implemented verbatim. Which made the US the de facto puppet master and they really liked that role. This relationship was carefully orchestrated and nurtured by the US from the end of WW2 onwards, and the effect was that European countries embraced this strategy and viewed the US in a positive light, no obvious power play or bullying necessary. But the fact is, there always was a strong dependency on the US, and this was by US design.

Trump doesn't realize that there was good reason for choosing such a "soft" strategy, he can't because bullying is his only available tactic. He will soon find out that his perceived european vassal states don't respond as well to hostility and blackmail as he might have expected.

They already want to declare people criticizing Trump as mentally ill in order to silence them. That speed run is in full effect.

I thought it was funny then suddenly remembered i'm over 50 :(

Even if that is the case, we still have laws and worker's rights. These rules are pretty strict. If those workers have a doctor's attest there is absolutely nothing Tesla can do about it (apart from intimidation attempts, and this is what they do) With the help of unions those workers will eventually be compensated, regardless of what any politicians might want.
