Exactly. All of that totally destroyed social relationships. Most of my friends are not total liberals but more of right-leaning family people in the range of "well it might work" to begrudgingly compliant. The relationships torn down in my life have really only started to feel 2019 normal in the last few months. The number of "holy shit your kid is how old now" moments I've had with friends that I spent regular time with in person in 2019 and haven't for years now is insane. Time just stopped, and that time can't be given back.
He will die soon and be dealt with.
They claim to use zero access encryption, meaning you hold the key client side. I presume it’s generated somehow from, your username and password. If everything is hashed properly, meaning Proton isn’t deliberately just lying, then the contents of your email box are fairly secure. If they were to hand your email box to the government it should be not much they could do.
I don’t think they’ve ever claimed to be defiant of legal requests, and they sort of have to have your username to be able to service email accounts at all. Swiss privacy law is still better than a lot of places. I’m not sure I really want a defiant of the law email provider as they will just get shut down entirely.
If you’re doing highly illegal activity, just using a secure email shouldn’t even be close to the opsec standard. Keys should only be held in the brains of the user and encrypted/decrypted with offline tools. If you just want above average security and not having your email catalogued and sold to AI models, IMO Proton is sufficient.
I presume they are just doing the same thing the US has done for ages and making citizens subject to income tax worldwide. The US tax you can write off foreign tax paid as a credit, which is fine if you move to somewhere else with high taxes but go to a low tax place and you're screwed to keep paying anyway.
Income tax is theft anyway.
I've made a point I was going to try to make a bunch of different soups this winter, so that would be perfect as I haven't filled out the list yet.
I cook a ton, generally eat like a king too. Close to a year ago I went from eating out probably seven to ten times a week to no more than three. Oftentimes one or two of those three are business dinners I wouldn't avoid anyway. It was for health over money for me but I enjoy it.
Always curious for new things. I can figure out the closest to Hungarian food I've had. Not been to Hungary (yet).
American with passport here, fairly well traveled. Funnily enough though I've not really been to popular stops, like London, Paris, LA or whatever. But I've been to Lithuania, so let's see that on many of these intelligent travelers lists.
I'm not sure what I was supposed to have learned and how contrary it was to the rest. I can make the connection between a place I like, such as Finland, where it's still very culturally homogeneous despite the broken politics, where you can walk around with zero concern for anything going on around you. Other places similar, really any of the Baltics or non-Prague Czech/Slovakia places, but guess what also not really all that race mixed. Or I suppose I could have any of the dirty German cities that would more appropriately be called New Istanbul and you definitely feel like a minority as a white man. What should I take of this as an enlightened 20% American with a passport, that I should want the dirty, hectic, sketchy feeling places I've been because they are more liberal?
Please leave, but no reason to be a cancer on another country. How about explore the ocean? I hear those excursions to see the Titanic are worthwhile.
Normalizing the nasty shit that is rap “music” may just be worse than trannies. Listening to that shit is so saturated amount youth. Any of them I know that listens to those turds I am relentless about it, reminding them how terrible it is, they will be dead in five years, etc.
57% is a large majority in the current divided political context. Make it priority one. We can deal with trash and blacks and what not when first free of millions of burdensome people.
Well I know from the last post there we can certainly rule out any quality writing.
That's my thought too, I mean even if I could race swap or whatever, they are just ugly. I don't notice off hand anything politically wrong with that Dwarf it is just unappealing.
I'm with you, despise the PS1-3 controllers. I have small hands and they still feel too small and the sticks are uncomfortable. The non-analog PS1 controller might have been fine since it was just buttons, but I really don't remember it very well.
The women I see actually in these sports that call it out number in the fractions of a percent it seems like. If they want to stand up for themselves, then I'll support them. If they bend over backwards to suck her penis, then it's on them.
Common sense told me that without a study.
This was supposed to be a joke, not a guideline.
I've never wanted or really cared for tattoos. Just don't see the appeal to normal people, and the freaks of the world yeah they were going to do dumb shit anyway.
Yet in Europe I’ve seen kids that are no chance older than this getting on crowded public transport to go where they need.
I grew up with a mom that was way too worried about some bullshit she saw about kidnapping on TV despite living somewhere that at the time was definitely safe to roam around. It wasn’t great. If I hadn’t been at least spared to stay home by myself from around age 10, I’d never learned to be independent.
That man should stop using mods self mutilation to pretend to be a woman then.
And if I made a picture with “Big Brother is Watching You” posters everywhere these same people that fear this would start celebrating a government that keeps people safe and immediately try to convince me 2+2=5. Except you’d never get those women to reduce sex to nothing more than their duty to the party.
Hiring someone to ride a bike to deliver you some hot chocolate from Starbucks couldn't sound more opposite Trump's america. Trump's America you make your own damn hot chocolate at home. You could make the finest possible hot chocolate at home for the cost of having one delivered from Starbucks.
I think tariffs are a good thing, but they must be gradually implemented. There may also have to be a change in mindset. If the goal is to tax Chinese imports by 60%, then the mindset of disposable Chinese garbage may need to be set aside in lieu of more expensive repairable longer-use items. It's a huge change in mindset though, and really something that needs to be tread lightly to make it actually work, and it's a long project.
Simple things like oil can be done more quickly, as it's something we can ramp up domestically much easier as it's been done before. Oil imports were already very low end of Trumps last visit.
I would have voted for him for this one thing alone. Anyone willing to catlady themselves over a Presidental election is not additive to a good society and we simply wash them out of the gene pool.
Here in Texas, most groceries aren't taxed. I actually just went to the store this morning, and of about $100 bill, the only things taxed was some orange juice and potato salad. I suppose it's a tax on all beverages because I know soda is, and prepared food, the potato salad was from the deli area.
Having just gotten back from Europe, the disparity between grocery and restaurant prices between Europe and the US are nothing like it was when I first visited a decade ago. I didn't price thru the entire grocery store, but maybe produce costs more, particularly things that I don't think come from very near the Nordics (e.g. bananas). Drinks still cost more, but they've gone up a ton in the last few years in the US. Restaurants of the grade I eat in seem about the same pricing me, I don't really ever pay for fine dining myself. I even had a couple meals that were very cheap by any standards, like I remember one museum that had a delicious cafeteria lunch with drinks included for something like 11eur.
100% chance he picks up as many women as he wants on there. Women want this type of guy even though they won't admit it.
