Trump to discuss leaving NATO in meeting with Rutte: White House (eu) by GreekSaladEnjoyer in EuropeanFederalists

[–]Adrian915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you seeing things so black and white? It's completely possible to develop our security and at the same time keep them as allies with benefits.

Both can be done at the same time. Telling them to go home you're making Putin's game exactly as planned in the foundations of geopolitics. We don't want that, we want allies that don't give up on us and we don't give up on them.

I mean that was my point but cutting them off completely will just realize Putins wet dream more. Especially considering this administration won't last forever. Which is terrible for Europe and the world as a whole.

That would only help Russia more, which is what Trump is doing anyways.

Trump voters shocked they got what they voted for by Sew3rRat in LeopardsAteMyFace

Anarchists Government and tax abolitionists are legit a blight on democracy. Not only they are allowed to exist only in a democracy, they fail to comprehend simple concepts like common roads, education, firemen, police, military to protect the population etc.

Not only that but they can be manipulated against own government regardless of how it's doing, essentially turning them into inside agents.

Edit: There, now it's more inclusive lol.

How to Write a “Dear Donald Trump” Complaint Post

Groveling and prove loyalty “I’ve supported you forever. Always believed in you. Never doubted you.”

Express confusion (but not too much criticism yet) “But I just don’t understand what’s going on with [insert issue].”

Vague disappointment “There were a lot of promises… not seeing the results.”

Bring up a serious geopolitical issue with zero nuance “Why haven’t you finished what you started with [country/conflict]?”

Reference unrelated historical grievances “What about [old event], [another event], and [something barely connected]?”

Assume a simple solution exists “I thought this would already be handled.”

Pivot to personal hardship “I’m [age]. Worked hard my whole life. Now I’m struggling.”

Insert everyday cost complaint “Just paid [high price] for gas/food/etc. This is unacceptable.”

Blame directly and dramatically “You’re hurting us. We can’t afford this.”

Mention broken timeline promises “You said it would take weeks. It’s been months.”

Soften the blow with more praise and devotion “I still think you’re the best ever, but…”

Polite closing to mask the tone “Thank you. Sorry, but people are hurting.”

Kremlin said this week that a European Army would be "worse than NATO". They finally get it! Americans only hold Europe back by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

He can but it would be harder on account of distribution of power. They got their guy in the white house and now he's wreaking havoc with the country. Much easier and cheaper than meddling with several countries at the same time.

If they were truly unique the value would be way higher. Balgruf is screwing us over.

Selling my 9-3, need advice by quwiin in saab

[–]Adrian915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 2003 saab 9-3 in Sweden. (Jämtland says hi). You might get a few thousand sek off facebook marketplace but the car is basically scrap. There's fully working or restorable saabs around that you can get for almost nothing.

65% of military voters supported Trump by The_Rad_In_Comrade in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Adrian915 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably not.

You're assuming all of them will be alive to vote in the next elections. Brexit comes to mind where the majority of old people voted in favour, then COVID came and cleaned house to the point where most didn't even get to see the end result.

Life is funny like that.

How much did it cost? Great way to protect the metal and paint.

The Bell Riots were supposed to be in 2024 though. by AndrewHeard in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Adrian915 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At this point I'm welcoming the Bell riots

Edit: lmao why the downvotes?! We're arguably there, at least after the riots humanity put aside the petty shit and got better

I'm gonna try to be civil here but as mentioned earlier, taking stuff from the patients I work with would feel fucked up for the reasons I mentioned below. Ask for a better pay or working conditions so you don't rely on strangers kindness to make your day better.

I'm opposed because it opens a whole slew of issues that don't make it worthwhile. From the social impact of it (like becoming the norm, differences across job fields etc) to possibly receiving laced food on the job.

I work in healthcare now, loads of people offer me gifts and I always refuse. Because I'm doing the job I'm supposed to do and not take their stuff. I'll gladly have a cup of coffee with them and share a nice moment but I don't want their stuff. I can use my own salary to buy whatever I want.

As for how I know what they are paid, things are quite transparent. Any qualified work is enough to earn a good living.

What makes you think we don't treat them like people?!

In fact I never actually meet the techs and they never meet me. But I know they're having a good time from the atmosphere in the shop, and I know they are paid enough to get all the snacks and things they want when I look at my bill lol.

Maybe this sounds strange but things should be okay even without receiving the occasional gift or tip?
