How much do you have to suck to run a campaign against Donald Trump and lose twice. Other world leaders outright say he speaks like a child.

At the end of the day you can blame the electorate all damn day or you can recognize the embarrassment that is the US democratic party and the campaigns they ran, completely missing the mark.

May history never forget the crimes of the zionists, the US government and the European countries that still support Israel against humanity itself.

This seems to be the issue across Europe, or at least in a great part of Europe. The huge break in fertility didn't happen in a vacuum. Articles keep saying it's porn or women's rights, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. Women can work and we all can crank and still have families.

It happened because governments stopped caring about the youth and lining their pockets and the old constituents' pockets, as they got used to the baby boom and thought they could take advantage of the youth forever. The entire social security system is predicated on leeching from the current youth rather than saving up for the future.

Being young in Europe sucks. I'm with the Germans on this. I feel so unsupported and paying for everyone, even if i could afford kids, i wouldn't have them anyway. A sharp break in fertility is the only form of protest that governments will listen to in order to stop ignoring, lying to or just outright taking from the youth. Not only that, even those poor sods that still have kids, for some reason, face an absolute disgrace of a childcare and school system. Underpaid teachers and a general lack of facilities makes you wonder where does the youth money go.

Immigration is all fine and dandy, but everyone knows Immigration will not fix the issues caused by neglecting the youth. The issue is systemic. Once immigrants are integrated, their kids will also not have kids. One way or the other, the system is coming down.

Better do it with the army conducting training exercises nearby then. Appeasement doesn't work with these kinds of people. They will strike and if conflict is inevitable, might as well push your enemy to meet you on your terms rather than when they're ready.

Of course i don't mean striking first, certainly not in this situation. But carrying out defense within one's borders isn't exactly something the international community would see as a valid enough cause of provocation for a preemptive strike. Israel is losing support worldwide and cracks are starting to form in their economy.

Imagine if Ukraine had properly built defenses when it was clear Russia was about to attack them, instead of starting to build them 6 months after Russia invaded, hoping they wouldn't attack. The amount of manpower they would have saved. How many times must history teach the same lesson over and over again. How come we even have armies like the Lebanese army who wouldn't even defend their own citizens from an invading foreign force just to appease. It just doesn't seem right to me.

It's a matter of time until Israel starts taking Jordan land as well. The writing is on the wall. If i was responsible for defense in Jordan, I'd start constructing defensive fortifications, anti air and military communications infrastructure as soon as possible.

I don't know how much that would help though, the US will actively put down anyone who tries to defend themselves from Israeli expansion.

Why rebuild something when you can repurpose it ?

In many places around the world old structures like warehouses, train stations, churches, convents, fire houses and other things are seen as an architectural opportunity to repurpose as housing, usually due to cost, but that lead to very unique dwellings that end up influencing other houses that are built from the ground up. Architects pounce at opportunities like this. The results are often superior to what a standard house built from the ground up would be.

The thing about anonymity that a lot of people don't get is that there is no such thing as 100% anonymous. Vpn makes it more expensive to track you. Tor makes it more expensive to track you. Good opsec makes it more expensive to track you but ultimately, if you've got a target on your back, there is no way to be 100% anonymous.

The thing you gotta ask yourself is, what is your threat model ? Are you hiding from LEO on account of torrents or just want some privacy from corporations? VPN is fine. Are you buying drugs on the darkweb ? TOR is fine. Are you selling drugs on the darkweb ? You probably need a more sophisticated masking network mesh. Are you involved in CSAM or run a darkweb market ? Nothing you do will help you, you are going to get caught, that is a certainty.

Don't go wasting your precious brain matter on developing a leak free network. There is no such thing. If someone wants badly to track you down, with enough money, they will. Best you can do is be a little bit more trouble than it's worth to spend on you. For some things, like i mentioned before, there is a cutoff point where you're as anonymous as you'll ever be. For others, there is basically unlimited resources to track you. Even using TOR, they can get you at your entry node, like it has happened before, if no one else in your neighborhood is connected to TOR.

I mean, i can see why. What are a few drugs, tax fraud and gun felony next to being cumplicit in the genocide of an entire people.

I bet Biden is proud of his son, for being a little better than him. Hopefully, Hunter's son will only get speeding tickets.

Well Ubisoft did say gamers should start getting used to not owning Ubisoft games.

So far, so good.

Biden is great at pretending he's doing something. A non functional pier. A ceasefire that lasts 2 days. Convoys of food that never got to Gaza.

Just the perfect president to put in the middle of a Trump sandwich. Bon appetit, America.

Eeeeh. You can provide food, but it won't be really a balanced died. My grandparents had a subsistence farm where my grandmother and relatives worked together and my grandfather still needed a job for all the things they didn't produce, like out of climate produce, oils, meats, fish, dairy, cereals and fruits.

I wish i heard less about Elon Musk. I'm so tspped out on this dude. Every time a new article has Elon Musk in the title my eyes involuntarily roll over into the back of my skull as both an expression of annoyance and a self defense mechanism.

So yeah, there is no credibility for the ICC. Because of the actions of these countries, the ICC is now a theater court for theater cases. The whole world was watching and it was demonstrated that its use is merely a political tool for countries that aren't part of a specific sphere of influence and not an impartial court of international law.

What a shame and disgrace. We will ALL suffer the repercussions of the actions taking place today by countries such as France, the US and Germany.

Yeah, but you said you could have a podcast, but it wouldn't earn you a living. The same way you could theoretically grow produce and it wouldn't earn you a living either.

With enough work you could make returns on a podcast too. Both podcasting and farming require lots of work to grow a network, to acquire equipment and to find customers and partners. In both, you require time to be trustworthy. Both of those things are part of the same entrepreneurial process.

I may concede that perhaps you can get a couple of bucks faster with a homegrown garden, but it is not as easy as you're saying. Your grocery store/restaurant will not buy random veggies from Joe nobody when they have suppliers already. They don't even know how safe is the food you're growing. You'd have to find specialized farmer's markets and you'd have to pay for a stall there, as well as all the grow lights and hydroponics setup to grow the produce. That's residual money, if money at all.

The people you see on youtube are probably making more money with youtube selling education than they are with their micro arugulas or whatever. Or maybe they're lucky to have friends with restaurants or stores already who are willing to take the risk on some random person with no store and no licenses selling food on the side. And it's a big risk, because some farms have sent people to the hospital by growing greens next to livestock and ended up contaminating everything with E. Coli. They probably won't boil greens, so you can guess why it's not a small risk to take. Sure, you can say, but I'm very clean, i have no livestock and my fertilizer is reputable, but without licenses, there is no proof and it's not like they are going to send someone to inspect your farm.

And they're not even gonna hear you out unless you're coming with a price lower than the supplier that's growing an entire greenhouse full of microgreens for them. The whole microgreens/mushrooms fad was a gap between the demand appearing and big corpos responding to it with their massive greenhouses. Every year that goes by, it's gonna be harder and harder to break into that market, let alone survive in it. Farming is a very scale up sensitive industry and small players have an incredibly rough time in it over time.

I see farmers' protests almost every quarter about how they are struggling, how bad big farm competition is, how the equipment they need is prohibitively expensive and vendor locked, how any seeds that they need to be competitive are patented and exorbitant in costs. I didn't know farming was so easy.

Someone tell the farmers to watch youtube videos and clear out their closets. They clearly are doing something wrong.

Plug first, check of the repairs are done correctly later, is what i always say.

Ah yes, the US will crush everyone's economy and live in this economic bubble of invulnerability, and trade with the aliens.

US politicians don't understand the two way nature of trade. It's like the story of the sanctions and trade tariffs. We're not Cuba buddy, you can't bully us without massive job loss and trade for the US.

I have to say i don't actually believe Europeans are scared of this sort of threats. We know what's at stake for the US here. It would take a lunatic to actually do anything of this sort. Yeah, it would be bad for us, but it would be awful for the US.

On the other hand, a lunatic is just what the US has just elected, so i guess we'll just have to see how this shakes out.

Earlier this year, when republican senators started threatening EU countries with sanctions for rejecting Israel policy, everyone kind of just shrugged it off. There wasn't any real concern. Everyone was mostly going like, ok let them do it then. I'm feeling a sort of exhaustion from US drama in the political atmosphere around here.

Yeah, same. In Europe, a large rift is starting to appear between the ruling political class and their constituency and they're starting to notice and thread real carefully on the unwavering support for Israel.

It used to be like, oh we defend Israeli right to exist and look at how Israel makes the desert bloom and now it's like oh look it's a difficult situation, it's complicated and we must stand by the ICC. So at least we're heading in the right direction.

EU universities are withdrawing from Israel partnerships left and right while not overtly saying why, but Israelis know why. And the European education framework policy organs can't really do much about it, as all participation is voluntary.

I would honestly like to see how that would pan out. Obviously this is just a clueless senator pulling things out of his ass for political points, but the worldwide scandal of a US military incursion against an international court of law inside a NATO country would have massive repercussions. It would destabilize US partnerships, diplomacy and it would tarnish US standing even more than it already has been for the last 20 years. Every US opponent country would love for this to happen. This would definitely not go well with EU countries, most of which already said they would stand by the ICC's decision. Arab countries would turn on the US and third world countries probably would too, as the ICC case is massively popular with both those two parties.

I doubt it would spark a war between the US and the EU, but it would certainly sour relationships real damn quick.
