If the don't plan on seizing nukes then they'll end up like Ukraine....

This feels so weird to me. I don't know anyone who has used SMS for communication in many years.

I don't like the implication that people working for non-profits should make less money than people working for for-profit companies.

If a network engineer makes $130k at a non-profit versus $140k at a for-profit, they are effectively donating $10k a year to the cause. Very few people making $130k are donating $10k a year.

Yes, there are always more efficient and cheaper ways to work, but forcing non-profits to grind and answer and defend every penny spent just makes them shitty places to work on top of the financial hit the employees are taking. 😔

Interesting! I looked it up and the lizardman constant appears to be 4%; not too far from the 6% of Greenlanders in favor of selling their country.

It is German, but it does not mean "Dark Humor":

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də]; literal translation "harm-joy") is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another.

I feel personally attacked.

No matter how much I try to convince Android not to, it insists on killing Voyager sometimes when I switch to another app. This happens a lot when I'm trying to find a link to post in a reply, but also basically at random any time I switch to another app and back.

Voyager loses all state and just dumps me in my start page again. This is not fun if I'm replying, to say the least.

Contrariwise, Tusky (Mastodon app) drops me in exactly where I left off.

I don't think that you'll get scurvy in the 3 days of this diet. 😆🍋

I can understand the confusion. Dutch does combine words, but not normally with the enthusiasm of German. So seeing verkiezingbijeenkomst in the caption might have confused you. 😉

Why do you say that? Everything that I've heard her say has been principled and thoughtful. I haven't read anything about her actions that I find problematic either.

So... citation needed?

Those answers can be used to convict you. Don't say anything!

If you work in a country the US considers friendly then you can deduct some large amount from your foreign salary before you pay taxes to be the US (like $90k or so?). If you make more than that you can deduct the foreign taxes paid from the remainder. Since taxes are higher in most European countries, you don't end up paying tax twice (Switzerland has lower taxes I think, and maybe others).

For real. US history is replete with supporting dictators, military coups, and so on.

Turkey hasn't wanted to join the EU for decades.

Why? I struggle to find any common thread between those four countries in the 1920's and 1930's, and certainly have no idea why people living there at that time are being called stupid.

The US in 2024 is incredibly far removed from any of those countries in the 1920's and 1930's. Sorry but this comparison doesn't make sense to me.

I wish!

Why? 19 is 15+4 but is still prime?

In the Virginia mail-in voting instructions it is very clear that you are not to show anyone who you voted for. I guess I'm not surprised if other states do not have that, since voting rules are so haphazard in the USA.

It may be illegal to show your vote, exactly to prevent people in an unequal power relationship from pressuring you to vote in a specific way.

I know that you mean well, but you seeing your mother's vote is exactly why mail in voting should be the exception. Voting booths exist so that votes are secret, which is how it should be.

My mom hates Trump since she thinks he's crude, but I'm 99% sure that my dad voted for them both by mail in votes.
