The semantic games are boring and tiring.

How/why is that blocked?

Would it still be if China invades Taiwan?

Put it somewhere safe. It doesn’t expire. You don’t have to use it until/unless there’s an emergency.

My final question in that comment is very sarcastic. I know absolutely nothing about Swedish money but I can guarantee you that it does not expire.

Assuming you're serious, and you have no idea what your own currency looks like, could you not just go to a bank and make a withdrawal in cash and keep it somewhere safe? You don't really need to know what it looks like as long as you get it from a trusted source.

For the right price.

Through the magic of getting it now, before a crisis, you too can be prepared.

Do Swedish dollars expire or something?

I’m gobsmacked to depression daily that you’re ok with this.

People who sat at home or pretended like they could wash their hands of it by voting 3rd party are OK with this. I'm sure as shit not.

~56% of 'em, yeah.

Besides what is required of us due to NATO (really REALLY hope we don't pull out of that) we dot a lot of other ancillary force projection.

This could be unfounded fears but I worry the US won't be the ones who directly feel the affects if it does happen.

I get the impression that people don’t like the fact our military is as big as it is. And “Why are you over here in $country?”

If Trump actually executes what I believe most conservatives want and we pull back from being the world police, people will quickly realize the value. It just might be too late by that point.

I’m getting a bit of whiplash here.

The sentiment on Lemmy is usually that we should stop being the world police.

Personally, I think that would make for a worse outcome and I guess we’re gonna find out.

Do Swedes not have ATMs?

That’s what I had planned in my head.

If they don’t discover on their own that some tooth needs to come out, it probably doesn’t need to come out.

Fuck... That's terrifying.

I've discussed this with my wife. If any dentist tell us our daughter needs teeth removed we're getting a 2nd and maybe a 3rd opinion.

Yeah, I think I saw that post.

Lots of "it's OK when we do it" sentiment.

I've noticed the majority (or at least the vocal ones) don't really stand on principles such as free speech. And I don't mean as in a "free speech" Lemmy instance. I mean in terms of inalienable rights.

To many here, things like that are only for the "good" people, as determined by them.

iOS friends, check out the Mastodon client Ice Cubes.

It's free (beer and speech) and it's very good IMO.

Also, after you settle on a server, consider setting up a recurring donation to your admin to help with server costs. The way I see it, it's that or ads and enshitification.

I'm too tired to hash that out with you.

I moved from Twitter to Mastodon when Elon bought Twitter. I think what you saw on Mastodon was a product of what you were following (people and hashtags).

The other nice thing happening somewhat recently is that I can follow Bluesky (through a bridge) and Threads (some accounts now, more as federation between the platforms matures).

Not being able to follow the brands you want is just a symptom of them not being on these platforms yet. I follow a few news outlets, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kagi search, Vivaldi browser, Cloudflare, Mozilla, The Internet Archive, etc.

I'm hoping more show up on these platforms with time and that BS and Threads actually do integrate more fully with Mastodon.

I'll be more excited about that when they start allowing larger federated instances.

I haven't read a ton about it, I have to admit, but last I read, federated instances are limited in number of accounts.

More generally, the idea that taking crypto bro money will allow them to stay as open as Mastodon sounds unlikely to me.

My Mastodon experience is far more pleasant than that of Lemmy.

My sense is Mastodon is far less left leaning (but still left of center) but it may just be a product of who I'm following and the tags I'm following.
