"Elon Musk is a patriot working to fulfill President Trump’s mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse," Harrison Fields, a spokesperson for DOGE, said in a statement. "Backbenchers should celebrate the selfless efforts of America’s most innovative entrepreneur, who is dedicating time to support American taxpayers and hold Washington accountable to the people of this great nation.”
Wtf. only the government should be allowed to criticize the government, because everybody else is a backbencher. What are these people, 12 year olds playing Fortnite? Just wow.
And the crazy part of this philanthropy is that there's no guarantee to anything. These oligarchs live like kings amongst men and we can see ourselves lucky to be in the light of their philanthropic sun.
I mean yes thank you Bill Gates for not being such a dipshit like Elon, but I also think that this kind of power should not be in the hands of individuals ever.
Cause as you said: the harm they caused (actively or passively by f.e. not paying taxes in countries outside the US and therefore stealing money from governments and people) can never be fixed by any philanthropy.
You just don't get that kind of rich without being an asshole along the way.
That's what I wanted to say as well. Not only national video calls but also regularly calling across the globe in video group calls, no problem whatsoever.
It wasn't easy to establish back in the day, but since Skype is no alternative anymore, it should be a very good argument in favor of signal.
Only downside I had today: can't have the same account on two Android devices. Desktop (Linux in my case) no problem to Link to my signal app on my android phone, but I was not able to use it on my android tablet today. Or was it just me, and there is a way?
This detail makes all the difference. At least one of you guys will have the energy, and you'll just have to manage your lives very transparently. Rather then expecting things, say them out loud to each other, communication will make a big deal.
You'll be fine, as long as you manage your expectations of the life you will have together clearly.
And although it might seem problematic to your son, just quote " life uuuugh finds a way" and he'll accept you for the dinosaur you think you are. You're both grown ups and don't need each other's opinions on life, but should treat each other with respect.
Yeah probably as always only a matter of perspective. Don't listen to other men, just do what feels right for yourself.
I took a solid 9 months paternity leave with my son, and I think we just built the best base for a father son relationship I could ever imagine or hope to have. I know they don't seem like it as a baby, but you are building your foundation already.
This was 3 years ago and I still feel the outcome of it every day.
Don't be so sure that these lies, or "this style of politics" is only enabling the downfall in the US. The Internet is breaching the barrier of what once was the big pond separating us from the US.
It's already used in modern politics around the world as justification for similar topics. Some people even demand "DOGE-like" actions against bureaucracy in countries of the EU. Be a little more like Musk.
This all has to be part of the flooding the zone tactics. RFK jr. probably doesn't even know that he got chosen for this position because everyone knew he'd fuck stuff up and make news like that - and draw focus on things that are irrelevant to people like Trump.
"The outlet (Newsmax) also warned that a future administration could target conservative media in a similar fashion."
Yeah hardly doubt that. The one weakness of all Democrats is abiding laws ^^ the US wouldn't be where they are now, if Democrats actually took a stand for democracy.
Absolutely feel you, kinda similar situation at work atm. What frustrates me the most is that none of the IT personnel understands my frustration because most are not in that kind of IT community and don't share the ideas behind all that. Just here to earn a dollar, whatever system we're working on. No intrinsic desire to make the world better or at least more secure, none of that. Just robots and bureaucrats.
I think the downvoting comes from the aspect that even your cited sources have nothing to do with the original story. Because the ethnicities you are talking about have nothing to do with the black/white or African/Caucasian basis of modern racism. And hence the scientifically correct differences between peoples in different parts of Africa in your cited studies are not helping in any way, nor do they prove anything in regards to the original question.
That's the thing about racism I think: it's never really making sense, because it's based on pure pseudo science of the 19th/20th century.
True, never looked into the protective mechanisms in our constitution. But I bet there is a way to change these mechanisms, once you are the reigning political power.
Thought about that regarding the current events in Germany. If people democratically vote for fascism, that's still a democratic vote. Only the outcome might be less democratic (or not at all) but at least once people choose this path willingly, following democratic rules.
At the end it's perfectly legal to do this. The question is more if it's good or bad. It maybe even stupid. But here we are.
That's not his this works, unfortunately
