It’s worse than that. I’m affraid of these things sometimes too. They are affraid of being affraid. They can’t handle it, they can’t admit it and they do everything ti disguise it. It’s a very primal emotion

That’s all there is to it

I feel personally attacked. I identify myself with these memes.

What happens if you put it back into the drawer and forget about it? Asking for a friend

Perfection is the enemy of progress

If I ever get expendable income, I might donate. But I don’t see that happening. I do buy some luxury stuff occasionally, because I just want to support the creator, like a calendar from Kurzgesagt or a book from Tibbees.

I can tell you aren’t using outlook

For now

Oh sweet memories

People do say “hi I’m from the US” and “hi I’m from canada”. They are both countries and people can tie their identity to it. There certainly are people who say “hi I’m from europe”, but not many. Europe also isn’t a country and doesn’t have the level of autonomy that the US and Canada (or Germany for that matter) have.

Blend in with the crowd

OP compares it to 80% of the population being workers, yet no-one is showing up for those rallys. I guess OP fails to see why workers do not feel the same urgency to attend rallys that lgbtq people do.

I see where OP is coming from. Workers are being treated increasingly worse, but there seems to be no collective response so far. Sure, workers are not being discriminated against and murdered (yet), but if that’s the standard for protests, it’s unreasonably high.

I agree with that, but “I’m from California” does have a different ring to it than “I’m from America”

“Bright” is kind of a spectrum though. Sometimes a light is just bright enough that you can trigger a sneeze, but only if you focus on it. Other times that same light will almost trigger a sneeze with focus, but not go completely over the edge. That’s a very annoying feeling when that happens.

Yeah, I’m not going out buying some “manly” beard conditioner, when my wife has a perfectly fine, pink bottle of rose scented “girl” conditioner that I can use for my beard just fine. Saves me a trip.

I’d hire a cyber security firm. Most firms can test how your website handles under specific kinds of stress like ddos or malicious webscrapers. They can also advice you on the axtuak risks and how to mitigate them.

No that’ll get you arrested. You can just buy the supplies at home depot and watch a YouTube tutorial

I don’t think we’re doing that anymore. For the most part, at least.

Technically the truth. I learned to talk with a proper Irish accent within a couple months. 15 years later there’s nothing left of that, but for a brief moment in history I was cool.

As a European, I never thought particularly highly of American politics and culture. I never got the whole Americana hype of the last decades. But at least it used to be not fascist and kind of democratic. Seeing the country move towards loosing that is heart breaking. Seeing European countries trying to follow the example is terrifying.
