An now all together:
🎼 If you’re happy and you know it… 🎶

And they could lose a lot - their job first, which also means their house and their health insurance. Not to mention plenty of laws criminalizing most protest already, where you are bound to be caught on camera or via other digital surveillance, and a single arrest on your permanent record means no future employment, and missed payments on your credit history means no future economic prospects.

It’s astounding you aren’t already rioting! People in my country would tar and feder the guy who’s responsible for that or anyone who doesn’t want to change that.

“If he’s that worried about it and wets himself like a little child, then he is unworthy and will never lead France,” Bannon said.

You know, it’s not a productive thing to insult the guys you want to get on your side. Rookie mistake.

but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.

That’s no problem.
The protests that brought down East Germany weren’t that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn’t exist back then. Most didn’t even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.

The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.

Now you know what to do:
Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.

I would like to see the recipe of that mayo cake(?) in the center.

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxing champion, first entered the public eye (…) after a video showed him hitting a woman with a belt and telling a woman to count the bruisers he allegedly gave her.

What a sick bastard! And the US wants to have that one released? WTF is wrong with them?

What have you done America, what the hell have you done…

Apparently nothing much in terms of general education.

He looks like he has a glass eye. Must have been in a really bad accident. Also looks pretty fat.

Doesn’t sound that impressive when Wendelstein 7-X achieved 17 minutes of plasma in 2021.

There exists a generation of people today that do not know that the save icon shows a floppy disk. They have no idea what a floppy disk even was.

I feel old now and will go back into my cave and weep quietly.

for me it’s the loss of joy.

Same for me. I just don’t feel entertained anymore.
Current video games are all stupid. Current tv series and movies are stupid too. What do I do? What can I do?

Currently I can only relax and have some fun by reading fantasy stories. Everything else is literally not bearable anymore.

I hope to go on my first week long bike packing tour in early summer when it’ll be warm enough for camping. It’s going to be my first long camping tour. Just to do something completely different I never did before. I fear I’ll go crazy if I don’t do something like that.

I saw a small report about a retired woman walking (!) with a donkey (!) through the country. She did 650 km last year which is impressive for a 70 year old. Currently she’s staying at a camping site where they keep donkeys because it’s too cold and her donkey needs contact to other donkeys from time to time. Incredible stuff!

These aren’t insurmountable problems, but yeah.

They way you are describing it points to you having depression. You should visit a doctor and talk about it. Depression is actually an illness that could cost you your life (by lowering your instinct of self preservation and sometimes outright ignoring it).

Or you just switch to LibreWolf where all these settings are already set. It even comes with uBlock preinstalled.

I’m under the impression that these guys are driven workaholics. They just can’t stop. Working is their hobby and playtime. They just can’t sit still if there’s something that can be done.
They have to squeeze out everything there is to squeeze. And if there’s something -like a law- that’s preventing them from doing that they’ll fight it with every fiber of their body.
