If you don’t have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.

EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:

Yupp, that’s why I added (succesfully) to my plea. Unfortunately, I think you are very right.

From the little that seems to be available at the time of this comment, it feels like someone confused and disturbed, not like a properly planned-out-attempt at anything.

The Secret Service received information from local police about an alleged “suicidal individual” who was traveling from Indiana and found the man’s car and a person matching his description nearby.

“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

The man was hospitalized. The Secret Service said his condition was “unknown.”

Oh, please, oh please, I hope it won’t be (succesfully) used for even more repression.

Basically: Resident enfranchisement. It’s weird, when people born in our country and having lived here their whole life can’t vote outside of local elections. My own father, for example, had a Dutch background, and was never allowed to vote in federal elections until his death. (Neither he nor I even spoke/speak a single phrase of Dutch)

Yes, things have gotten somewhat better and easier with applications for citizenship, but that there are hurdles like that to begin with, is a bit… weird.

Besides that material interest, there is also cognitive dissonance because of ideological distortions. If you believe things were fine before Trump, you were already adept at closing your eyes to problems. Including very fundamental problems, which helped to put the clique of billionaire grifters and outright fascists into power.

Don’t choose Germany, though, we (and a lot of nations, actually) still for some reason have citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century, not citizenship-by-birthplace laws.

Funnily enough, I had never gotten one on my old account which was >4 years old on .ml - but after I made this one on my own instance, in less than a day, I finally got one.

Sadly, as I’m not from the US, it would not really help me (in fact, make it harder). Funnily enough, Iceland was actually occupied by the US during World War II - which they did pre-emptively, worrying the Nazis may pull off another stunt like with Norway and endanger shipping from there if they don’t.

God damn, if I had the money, I’d escape to Iceland. Has been a dream for a long time now, but it just gets more and more desirable.

It’s a simple choice, really, considering how many hours I managed to invest as a kid:

Hmm, I wonder if that value for the UK ~2005 is just a statistical artefact, or if something culturally happened to temporarily create more homophobia in the late 90s/early2000s.

(Same but less pronounced US ~2010, but that looks more definitely like an artefact to me)

That’s understandable and fair enough - main reason I pointed it out was because your comment made it seem like the video was one of the watchtime bait ones, that only reveal the answer halfway through or even only at the end, potentially keeping even people interested from even trying to watch. Thankfully, its right at the beginning, and the rest is just details about development, context, gameplay and such.

Funnily enough, he reveals that quite early in the video, so you saved them maybe 5 minutes at best. EDIT: It’s actually at about the 1:15 mark

I think there is one more piece to the situation: Ultimately, it would be down to the executive to actually implement those things. Now, even where they haven’t been replaced by loyalists, they have to face one more thing: What are the consequences if they defy the court vs what are the potential consequences for defying Trump.

As long as there is no determined, organised opposition, that makes it clear there will be a new status quo after Trump and crimes will be punished, they have many reason to fear Trump’s cronies, and little to fear the courts.

And I mean an opposition that is actually capable and willing to take power, not some sort of “moral opposition”.

True, I’m actually German myself, and I have to admit - it was a bit of an intuitive, emotional reaction. Really: My worry is about their wealth. Even as old people, where not giving them harsh prison sentences is understandable, what’s keeping them from further supporting fascists in the future? Even if they are monitored, I don’t have a lot of faith in our police and the Verfassungsschutz to properly monitor flow of finances, especially when it comes to hidden gold transfers at meetups, or Monero or similar loopholes.

Oh…

Am I missing something? Isnˋt that just a traditional remedy for vitamin D deficiency? (And, well, I guess it also has decently healthy fatty acids and some other nutrients)

As per the video: new high of concurrent users, 40 million online with 12.7 million actively playing games.

The defendants, four men, aged 46 to 58, and a 77-year-old woman, who belonged to the self-styled “United Patriots” group, were sentenced to between five years and nine months and eight years’ jail by the Koblenz higher regional court on Thursday.

Look, I am not usually one to demand more draconic sentencing, but this seems inappropriately short. IMO, the main part of the sentence should have been to strip them of assets that could ever be again used in any revolutionary attempts.
