Id love for the US to transition to having less influence globally without totally collapsing, but if this is how we do it, so be it.

It’s kinda the devil we know situation, if the US steps down, who steps up? Are they going to be better or worse, who knows. I never really bought into the notion that we had to be the world police or that all the evil stuff we did, we did because we had to.

As an American I think I’m going insane? The last 3 weeks have been some of the most anxious and stressed I’ve ever been.

Trump’s first term was nothing like this, there’s a feeling of apathy in the air among people and coworkers (I live in a very liberal city in the deep south). Folks around here just seem to be on edge at all times, whether you’re pro or anti in a much more divisive way.

There’s a strange feeling knowing there’s a solid chance we won’t make it out of this one. There have been plenty of times in the past where we’ve had doom and gloom (Trump v1, conservatives and Obama), etc. Nothing ever happens, but this time I’m fairly confident the country I was born into will be dead and gone given the shear destruction being waged against our institutions.

I’m protesting and will continue to do what is needed to ensure 47 isn’t the final chapter.

Except openai and all their investors

I don’t think he understands how open source works…

Yes please. For the love of God it’s not too late.

I get the feeling of defeat. It sucks. But we must come together and stop this fascist takeover before it’s too late, whether you’re a conservative, liberal, or leftist we need to join hands and fight for a nation for the people. Luigi was a right leaning libertarian.

Seriously, the train has left the station and if we don’t derail this train now it’s going to mean we’re finally handing all of our remaining power to self important narcissistic billionaires. America isn’t for sale and it’s not a business, it’s our home, it belongs to us. These gross conmen pricks who think they know more than us because they got lucky in life think they can just take everything away by force.

What happened to conservatives? What happened to “my rights end where yours begin”. This shit is asinine, absolute trash.

The trans folks I know are the most joyful, positive people I know. They do not deserve to be stripped of their joy and identity. The next 2 years I suspect will be a long, hard road.

He had everything on him to get caught and convicted. I don’t think he wanted to run forever.

Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.

If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it’s a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.

Genuine question: why not try Linux? You’ll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.

The only possible explanation for this is that doesn’t suck is maybe they wanted to talk starlink, but that could’ve happened in a different setting without Trump.
