I am glad your friends and family are more technically literate than mine or the people I meet.

Asking for someones email when they ask for your whatsapp is weird.

It would be nice if I didnt need a dozen chat apps,each with their own faults, but being able to communicate with friends and family is more important than software evangelizing.

SMS has issues if youre traveling a lot or want to send large files. Nobody has Signal and Im not going to ask someone I just met to install a new app.

Half of them are boomers or have the tech literacy of boomers.

When I tried to move my family to Telegram, only 2 managed to successfully install and verify a client.

Do you have WhatsApp?

No Telegram?

I dont have that one, none of the clients seem to work on my phone… Wechat?

Cant verify, SMS doesnt get through. LINE?

lol I dont have a japanese number. Kakaotalk?

No… …discord?

Sure!

Shit he’s 30 seconds from finding out Im a furry.

Not on state charges. But Newsom doesn want the optics of going after the troops for illegally kicking the shit out of his own constituants, because that would play terribly with the only important demographic for democrats, republican voters.

Sure, they can work with the Hong Kong protesters, Lamas, and Cuban patriots. Maybe some Free Syra Army guys can help too.

No, even in 1776, there were contemporaries who mocked a bunch of rich slave owners talking about freedom while stealing land from native americans. American freedom had always been the freedom for the ruling class to exploit the underclass.

Biden could have packed the court, but said “it would make it political forever”. Tge commander-in-chief could have ordered military hospitals to provide women’s healthcare, he could have told the AG abd everyone else he nominated to pressure/punish red states which ban abortion. Strom Thurmond’s friend, who split with the party to end desegregstion, chose to let the Republicans do this, because he does not want what we want.

Watch the korean film A Taxi Driver instead.

Not even, just like we lost abortion under Biden, and an entire generation lost faith in the democrats as a means to effect positive social change, Newsom would do more to kill any opposition than Trump.

No, being in poverty is really bad here, but I just picked SK out as a close example, old folk becoming recluses who only interact with Fox News and people serving them is pretty specific to American and/or car-centric culture. Hell even car-centric parts of america have retirement communities where they all drive scooters or golf cars.

Why not move to a place where low mobility doesn’t cut you off from the rest of society?

There’s plenty of retirement communities where you can get around with a golf cart. In the 3 biggest cities here in SK, old folk can ride the subways for free, and sometimes you even see them drive mobility scooters on.

Other places I’ve been have level boarding for buses, but I’ve never seen someone drive a mobility scooter onto one. Certainly it wouldn’t fly in SK.

Im not sure how true that is, at least FL requires you to renew your license more frequently as you get older. Idk if its just a vision test though.

Higher up and brighter lights=driver can see more and feels safer. Yes, even if shadows and the area immediately arounds the car are less visible and the vehicle becomes more dangerous for everyone around you.

The socialists voted for the KDP candidate. Hitler didn’t gain power with socialist votes, the liberals promoted Hindenburg as a unity candidate, and won, Hindenburg proceeded to staff the government with nazis and made Hitler chancellor, unifying against the socialists. The nazis “socialist” side were no more socialist than Israelis who romanticize kibutzim as communes.

The socialists in Germany were getting murdered by fascist paramilitaries the liberals armed in the 20s, and fighting them in the streets in the 30s while the liberals’ policies continued to nurture them. If you think that having socialist in the name meant the nazis were socialist, I invite you to eat a urinal cake, then actually study history.

You know liberals and capitalists are kinda the same thing? Liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism, and anarchists and socialists are both leftists?

Also the entire lead up to WW II had the socialists trying to ally with literally anyone to deal with Germany, but was rejected, as France and Britain signed Non-Aggression Pacts with Germany and gave them and Poland Czechslovakia in hope that Poland and Germany would invade the USSR and deal with what they perceived as a greater threat. Britain literally tried to join the winter war on the side of Finland and Germany.

The point is even in WWII, the liberals preferred fascism to socialism until they were literally being invaded, and if the socialists supported the liberals aims, the fascists would have won.

Liberalism is incapable of fighting fascism, if liberals were to support the socialist project (this doesn’t happen), fine lmao, but for socialists to abandon creating an alternative to fascism to support liberalism, which is what liberals really mean when they say “work together”, is self-destructive.

We’ve seen what happens when liberals get their way; fascism grows stronger and any alternative is crushed, until liberals are ready to hand over power.
