Edit: apparently not a Herzog quote https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/werner-herzog-germany-quote/

… what

Yeah it's the same here, they and the younger gens have apparently gotten very polarized; the ones who are "good eggs" are really decent folks, and the shitty ones are really shitty.

So while the extremist reich wing party PS (Perussuomalaiset or "Finns Party", because naturally only a nationalist wank is a real Finn) was their most popular party, as a proportion of their cohorts more young people voted for the Left Alliance than older ones did. Here's a handy table from our 2023 parliamentary elections (source):

• KOK: National Coalition Party, fiscally conservative
• PS: Finns Party, extremist right wing
• SDP: Social Democrat, liberal / marginally left
• KESK: Centre Party, what it says on the tin
• VAS: Left Alliance, democratic socialists
• VIHR: Green League, liberal & green
• SFP: Swedish People's Party, right wing
• KD: Christian Democrats, nearly as bad as PS
• LIIK: Movement Now, nominally center right but about as right wing as KOK

Actually based on that study the claim that gen Z is more conservative than older gens doesn't seem to hold up. Seems like they're about as conservative, but also more likely to vote Left

Hmm, I wonder if Gen Z's politics are different over there compared to here, because at least in Finland the 2. most popular parties they voted for were a right wing extremist party and a "fiscally conservative" party that is essentially indistinguishable from the extremist one (the joke is that the way to tell them apart is that the "fiscal conservatives" wear more expensive suits.) Sure, many do also vote for eg. the Left Alliance who are democratic socialists, but on the whole the generation is more conservative than the older ones

I don't think money is necessarily the problem as such, so much as having to take on Trump as a client. Nobody in their right mind wants to have him as their client, because they know he can't keep his mouth shut, has idiotic demands, and is also in the habit of not paying people who work for him.

Well, all that plus he's a piece of shit fascist cult leader.

I'm not entirely convinced putting the US in charge of it would make things any better. It's not like eg. Facebook or Twitter aren't full of reich wing bullshit on purpose

I'll start seeing conservatives as people when they extend me the same courtesy.

Honestly I think we're thoroughly fucked at this point

Same shit happened here in Finland too, our extremist right wing party is very active on TikTok and the under 25's voted for them in droves. That generation is more conservative than Millennials or even younger Gen X, which is a bit fucked up. Especially young men and boys have gone off the deep end

So Creative Legal Fundings was definitely very creative but not very legal?

Ah, making new Republicans

If OP's not from the US, turkey might not be an option – it's not very common in a lot of places here in Europe for example.

Might be an option to just buy cat food (after they recover from their injury) and hide it in their room if the stepmom is that controlling

Gah, honestly I'm not surprised at all she's like that, she sounds exactly like the type.

Holy crap, that's sounds outright abusive

Looks more or less like you'd expect him to, heh

That's known as a ligature and they're pretty common in many programming-oriented fonts, which usually have stylistic sets with different ligatures for different programming languages that you can optionally enable in your editor's configuration. For example, here's the stylistic sets the Monaspace font offers:

Personally I'm not too fond of ligatures so I never enable any, but many folks do like them.

Edit: and just as a side note, ligatures are super common in many fonts, you just might not notice them. Here's some classic examples from the DejaVu Serif font, with and without a ligature:

"A".reverse() == "∀"

Where is your god now?!

What a cute little foka

More of a tragicomedy, really

Aika ilmiselväähän se on, että koko kampanja on ns. "aivan täyttä hevonpaskaa." Kyse on aivan puhtaasti optiikasta, koska vielä toistaiseksi pitää ainakin vähän yrittää päästellä rasisminvastaisia ääniä, mutta kyllähän sitä nyt tajuaa tyhmempikin (ts. keskivertosuomalainen ei tajua) että oikeistolla ne puheet ei vastaa konkretiaa yhtään millään tasolla
