You forgot the last part, people will flock to it. /s

Likely more introverted and make the world a better place for most but Canada and Mexico might be in trouble. Eg here in Australia you’d hope we kick all the US bases out of Australia, which were a bad fucking idea in the first place.

The externalising of the shit show of inevitable consequence of being a dictatorship might be a neighbiir issue eg instead of just rhetoric about those damn immigrants, invade Mexico to sure up the borders. One hopes the rest of the world would rally behind Mexico, except perhaps like minded “bros” like Russia, Hungary, North korea, Vietnam, Camboida, Myanmar etc etc.

Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.

I’d not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)

You know you’re going to die right ? How do you deal with that ? Philosophically, Stoicism has some of what I need for coping.

I’d also suggest that journalism is mostly interlectual trash that clutters your mind. Really important events will find their way to you.

An example, I’m not an American (i did live there back in the mid 1990s, before I relaised it wasn’t for me) and I will likely Vote Green until I die. I’d prefer a livable biospbere and little better treament of minorities. Others prefer the opposite but their entreaties to get me to think their way won’t work so why would I bother listening?

Journalism isnt really about reporting “news” but selling advertising.

No,.well not noticeable for me, ths diffeeence is in the UI.

Not allowed in Australia without legislation anyway,.owners groups would shit their pants.

And they plug them into thier mains electrical systems how ? I can see them charging a battery and you get an inverter to run something from the battery but that’s not the same thing.

Well then, good news, you can use another distro or not even donate. I use #LMDE

From here on skrpnk.net using Boost, scolling down they all seem to have thumbnails?

What abimout heathcare CEOs?

I don’t know what the problem is. Is it a lack of empathy? Is it willingness to swallow the bait surrounding conspiracy theories? I

I think it’s education, so many of us are now "educated ", this makes us confident idiots, a superb pinnacle of that example might be Linus Pauling and vitamin C for example.

If my hypothesis is correct, more education wont help.

Empathy is always lacking, just have to look at the refugee debate, its not new. Jews were turned away when Hitler sent them overseas, telling other countries to take then or he’d start killing them,

Japense interment camps in the US in WW2, slavery, endless wars prosecuted on other countries and participants lionised, it’s part of our makeup that’s difficult for most people to overcome,. I’d posit they don’t want to overcome it. . Then there’s the whole treatment of native peoples all over the world. US, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Russia and on and on.

The one thing that unites Demorcats and Republicans ? disdain for the homeless, again a lack of empathy.

If somebody you knew like a family member, partner or friend told you they had NPD would you still talk to them?

I’d tell then they should run for President of the US, they have qualities and traits a majorty of people admire…

Nope, just find it better then a corporate shithole.

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of motives, will somehow work together for the benefit of all."—John Maynard Keynes

Some are elected President, some take down bad guys like Luigi seems to have.

Perhaps WISE? You can use the web page unlike Revolut.
