DOGE goons physically drag social security worker from desk
  • I'm honestly not a fan of calling these people nazis, as there is a very clear definition of what a national socialist is, and throwing any far right authoritarians in with them diminishes that definition.

    They're MAGA, let's tie that definition to their actions. This is MAGA behaviour, this is what MAGA does.

    EDIT: Oh cool, so this is just an echo chamber then? We got people straight up calling me a nazi sympathizer for trying to make the point that maybe not every god damn authoritarian is a "nazi".

    You know, just call them whatever you fucking like. I’m done.

  • 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread 🏁
  • This race should hopefully restore some confidence to both Leclerc and Hamilton. I doubt they can challenge the championship, but we'll see how McLaren measures up to the rest in Spain and moving forward from there.

  • What could go wrong?
  • Seeing the way things have been going in different countries the last couple of years have given me a newfound gratitude for the country I live in. Even our most right wing party is left wing by any international standard.

  • What could go wrong?
  • The situation in Norway is luckily a bit better than that, but I've heard from friends that their mortgages became a bit more expensive the last couple of years. Shit, is it really that bad in the UK? People's payments tripled or even quadrupled? Sounds like capitalist dystopia.

    From what I can gather the payments didn't increase near that much in Norway, and we have solutions like exemption from down payments among other things for situations like the one we're in now. I know some people with really expensive homes sold them and bought smaller cheaper ones to lighten the economic load, and a lot of people defaulted on expensive car loans. I think the situation hit people with expensive homes and cars the hardest because a lot of those people weren't willing to adjust to the reality.

    If I was allowed to get a loan I wouldn't have gone over 1/3 of my income, just like with the rent I pay today. I'd manage, but they're incredibly strict with who gets one.

  • It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
  • Took you long enough. We’ve put our lives in the hands of the US for too long, it’s made Europe complacent and now we’re so far behind. We could be equal to or greater than both the US and China, but if we’re honest we have a long way to go.

  • What could go wrong?
  • Surely there can be a middle ground.

    I hate that I’ve been paying close to 150k NOK a year in rent for the last ten years but for some reason I can’t be trusted with a loan unless I make a lot more and save up something like 300k.

    Except for the fact that I have a place to live it feels like I’m throwing money out the window.
