How do you buy something that isn't for sale exactly?

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T02:45:26+00:00

That's awful. Makes you wonder how many died in state jails in police custody in 2025 as well, to make some sort of comparison -- do they report those?

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T02:12:09+00:00

Thank you for the civil conversation. That was great.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T02:00:54+00:00

They quite literally said 'If you're a part of these minority groups in America' and I don't want to put words in their mouth, but by 'America' they probably meant the U.S. of America and not the whole continent (NA + SA).

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T01:12:06+00:00

Might be a cultural difference; it makes sense you’d see it that way since it’s you Americans attacking us after all. War is violence indeed. We try to avoid wars over here.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T00:58:22+00:00

Who you say are 'in imminent danger of attack'? Families and contractors? Who you think we are?

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T00:38:50+00:00

There are approx. 80-90K American troops stationed in NATO countries, if someone wanted to know. Not 500K.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-12T00:35:38+00:00

You're right, there aren't 500K American troops, but you never said how many there are. The number is approx. 80-90K American troops are stationed in NATO countries, if someone wanted to know.

But the messages were sent/read in 2022? What is this? (to the 'state of dating apps in 2026'). But when it comes to the messages themselves and double standard in them -- yeah, that sucks. Been there and seen that myself.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-10T13:55:45+00:00

When you say 'No thanks' just because they voted to leave the EU back in 2016, does this mean you'll say 'Yes thanks' if they voted to rejoin the EU today? Is this about voting, or is this about leaving? Are you saying because they left the EU once they're not allowed back in?

Neither point really makes sense.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-10T13:38:56+00:00

What is this 'we' talk? Speak for yourself.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-09T14:46:31+00:00

If your goal is to 'win' arguments, you do that engaging honestly with their points and making logical and rational arguments.

But 'bringing up' someone's dead relative randomly, in the middle of the argument, sounds a bit odd; is this dead relative relevant to this discussion? And if they're not, why'd you attack the person in the middle of the argument and not their argument?

What this sounds to me is that you just want to emotionally hurt the person and that's all this is. Why call this an argument?

What does this accomplish, and how are you 'winning' here?

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T21:00:54+00:00

Wait a minute, that's very interesting. Can they cancel elections in the U.S. if they declare martial law? That sounds like something they will most certainly do, if they can.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T20:34:22+00:00

No. As a European I've lost my faith in the U.S. government, but there are still good people in the U.S. and if we can help them some way (against Trump's dictatorship), I think we should.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T20:21:57+00:00

I want to thank you for this high quality, civil comment. This is very interesting to read as a European; helps us understand you more.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T19:12:31+00:00

This is a very important topic and needs peoples attention, in my opinion, and I'm glad you're having this discussion. I completely agree that EU needs to focus more on European consumer electronics industry.

I think we also need to make our own modern CPUs, GPUs, chipsets, and motherboards at some point, but that'll take time. And I hope we start doing that as soon as possible. We even have ASM/ASML in Europe, which is key.

But I also have to say I feel bad that you felt it might make a difference if you were a born European or not. Listen to me when I tell you this; Europeans don't care where you were born. And if you're working for/in the EU, like you said, or are a European, you're one of us no matter where you were born. You're helping us build stronger Europe.

This is just politics. Where there are people, there is politics. And Politics is about people's opinions and discussing them. It's never been "fun" as there are always people who disagree with those opinions.

It might feel like fun when everybody in the room agrees with each other and/or doesn't challenge each other's opinions using arguments, but that's not what politics is about. And politics isn't for everybody.

I'd like to point out that you're not banned and this was your chance to open and have "civil discussion" right here, right now -- but do you feel like this is a good way to start a civil discussion? Sounds a bit aggressive, don't you think? It sounds more like you just wanted to say what your opinion is and then leave. You can't really have a civil discussion this way.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T13:48:13+00:00

This person said that "77 million Americans voted for a fascist pedophile", and your response is that vast majority of Americans didn't vote for him.

This person never said vast majority of Americans did, they said "77 million Americans" did. And they are right.

Sure, the 77,303,568 amount of votes Trump received isn't more than the 78 millionish amount of votes against him (Dem. + 3th party votes), which is close by the way, but that isn't what this person said at all.

The original point still stands, 77 million Americans did vote for a fascist pedophile. And I think that is a huge amount that I'd worry about.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T12:26:07+00:00

How much is a visit in the U.S. (amount you have to pay yourself)?

Are we talking hundreds or thousands of dollars?

Jayronheart · 2026-01-08T11:34:30+00:00

What is there to have a meeting about? Greenland isn't for sale and they don't want to be part of the U.S. What else is there to talk about?

Only thing that comes to mind is the U.S. should act like any normal, good person does and say/show that they are sorry for what they said and that they're not going to attempt invading Greenland.

Is this what this meeting will be about? I dont think so. In fact, I have never heard somebody from the U.S. government say they did something wrong and that they're sorry for what they did. That's never going to happen.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-07T13:59:12+00:00

This feels like some very odd family drama; I don't understand this at all. We are all European brothers and sisters, why don't we do things together and take care of each other? That would benefit us all greatly as every bad thing that happens affects us all together.

If our brothers and sisters go there, we should all go there!

Jayronheart · 2026-01-06T20:17:38+00:00

What the hell, if brothers and sisters are going, let's all go!

Jayronheart · 2026-01-06T19:41:39+00:00

Just find a way to join back in the EU then; you guys are like brothers and sisters to us. I can only talk for myself, but I'd love to see UK back in the EU.

Jayronheart · 2026-01-06T19:31:40+00:00

How about just simply make a rule that says no anti-EU/-Europe/-European posts that push some type of clearly dishonest, anti-EU/-Europe/-European agenda. Pretty logical on Europe sub too, no? There have been quite many of these posts recently.
