I can only imagine that EU is just quietly finding ways to not be dependent on the US right now.

What Trump is doing/does is unacceptable. But US citizens have been groomed to accept everything from their perceived leader.

EU has not been groomed to accept these things. They know to just ignore while they can and get ready for a trade war, cold war, or any sort of war.

Cool.

Your party has proven that one can avoid taxes, but I don't think you can avoid death as well.

Good.

Fuck my country. Never been proud of it, and how I am only ashamed of it even more.

This must be a personal hell. Growing up, I wanted to get out of my small town because I hated being surrounded by idiots. So I did.

Now... well... there is no escape apparently.

Our modern day concept of ownership.

This is the main reason why am I have a tiny bit of hope.

They are just so so so incompetent. And you can't say they this is for show to make us think that, this is just ridiculous.

To be a cruel leader, you NEED to be effective. And they are not effective.

I wish I could time travel 200 years just to read how they talk about us.

I don't even know how to talk about us.

It really just depends on your climate, geography, and infrastructure.

Where is I was raised, it would be consistently 90-100 Fahrenheit throughout the summer. And one week that was always up to 110.

I had no ac, but a constant broken swamp cooler. So basically no real ac.

In the mornings and night when it did become cool, you would open all the windows and doors for the air and wind to blow through, and then about 9am you would close the windows and blinds and deal with the heat.

Sleeping through the worst parts of the heat is not a bad idea.

Can you imagine what was going through his mind?

Alright, time to go to work and be a bodyguard for the president. Gotta do my best. He's giving a speech today. Martial law? Must be one of those politician words, he is pretty knowledgeable.

Wait... why is everyone freaking out? This isn't normal. Why is everyone whispering? Why is everyone giving my boss the death glare? Looks like everyone wants home gone? Maybe I should take a look at this Martial law thing?

It's probably just some sort of everyday law that is just a little controversial....

Fuck. I have to guard this guy with my life?

Yup.

If I can't say basic words and facts like, this woman was raped, this man died, etc.

I just don't use the website in any meaningful way.

That people's 'default' morality is 'good'.

It isn't. It is actually pure apathy and only do we get taught, groomed, learn, decide, etc. about morality.

If that is true, then some people are actually 'better' and 'worse' than others. If so, then my entire outlook on human life will need to change. Don't know to what, but that is the existential threat.

Recently had to come to the conclusion, that even though I have never 'tried' to learn, observe, or otherwise be smart, that I am well above average intelligence to those immediately around me. This is beyond infuriating. How can I be 'better' than everyone on average without even trying? It infuriates me to no end.

Interesting ideas.

My idea of Heaven: no place, but reincarnation. That way all the 'good' people will be inhabiting the earth. They have the opportunity to be evil in that life, and then they would go to hell. If they keep continuing to be good, they keep getting reincarnated.

My idea of Hell: Nothing. Just pure death.

What would the criteria of going to heaven or hell? No idea.

Any accountants use LibreOffice Calc? Is it a good excel replacement? I just downloaded it this week but haven't tested it yet.
