I think Portugal will basically sell you a passport for a €250,000 investment. I don't know about Spain. I had Spanish residency years ago but moved away and let it slip, residency was pretty easy to get back then. I'd fuckin love to have an EU passport.

I'm not sure there are that many suckers. Trump's campaign has bled his supporters pretty hard, they don't have billions to invest. And serious speculators ought to know it's not worth shit, unless they're just riding the idiot wave. I suspect there's something fucky going on.

I had just started to appreciate twitter when musk bought it and it turned to shit. The big advantage of it was that it seemed like pretty much everyone was on there to some extent. Mastodon doesn't have anything like that user base, though it feels like it's growing and I much prefer the UI.

Yeah I was going to say this is what overpopulation looks like. Then I remembered the witch trials in the 1600s and thought there's plenty more crazy shit people have done. There's more people now and arguably less crazy shit. Stuff like this is always going to happen though, human condition. Still horrible, we've got lots of work to do as a species.

Yeah, it tastes of abomination. Not too keen on the whole melon family TBH. I like gherkins though. I'll eat pretty much anything if it's pickled.

That looks great - except I see cucumber in there. Is it just me that finds the taste of cucumber really intrusive? Even if I pick it out I can still taste it on the stuff it's touched.

Damn I didn't even notice. Guess I don't really look at the pictures.

Hate speech can also incite violence against targeted groups. I'm fine with freedom of speech but there's got to be a line somewhere. I'm not sure whether this legislation is over the line or not, we'll see how it's enforced.

Yeah most of the good veg here in England is from small organic growers, and that's too expensive for a lot of people. I grow my own tomatoes and they're yummy, the supermarket ones taste bland as fuck.

I'm wondering if this may already be illegal in some countries. Revenge porn laws now exist in some countries, and I'm not sure if the legislation specifies how the material should be produced to qualify. And if the image is based on a minor, that's often going to be illegal too - some places I hear even pornographic cartoons are illegal if they feature minors. In my mind people who do this shit are doing something pretty similar to putting hidden cameras in bathrooms.

Yeah I remembered the Scots came up with some high grade protest signs. A google image search for 'anti trump sign Scotland' give some real winners. My favourite

Alas I'm in England, no trader Joe's here!

Same with banana yoghurt. You rarely see it, no idea why because it's yummy.

Trump in court is like Sideshow Bob in a room full of rakes.

Nah, he'll start screaming about rigged elections and try for a coup.

Maybe you're getting incorrectly billed, have you checked the meter readings? Smart meters don't have a great reputation.

Yeah, if I see a green river I think pollution.

403 down, 10 up. That's mobile, it's all I have. In the UK it costs £10/month

And that's something else that makes a lot of the world look at America like a backwater shithole. Feeling the need to be able to kill other people - that might be important to many Americans but from the outside looking in it seems ignorant and barbaric.

That doesn't seem funny at all to me, maybe it's in the delivery.
