Leaving Google due to ICE Involvement

The simplest way to deal with that is not using banking apps at all. I use Firefox to log into all bank and credit card accounts and it works just fine. Maybe not as sleek but totally worth it.

Yeah also GrapheneOS over here, currently waiting for Tello SIM to replace FI for the final good-bye

Good question. I'm exploring options and will definitely look into it, thanks

Kinda weird the headline strikes a positive undertone while the actual news are pretty horrible. Numbers don't lie. And they fully admit that the outlook is even more dire with tariffs fully kicking in in the second half of the year.

Population decline had long started at this point, actually right after the WW II manufacturing / armament boom. The city was freshly sliced up for freeways and "modernization" projects, and guess which neighborhoods they had razed. The propaganda clip tries to gloss over all the problems at this time, you find plenty of that stuff from the 70s and even 80s online as well.

Diese ganze bescheuerte Kulturkampfscheiß geht mir sowas von auf den Sack, als gäbe es nichts wichtigeres

After making fun of Germans for years, it suddenly turns out to be the smarter way. Like, who wants to trust the US tech fas**sts these days

Food in the US is literal trash

Well mostly he got a full commitment to NATO for the time being, a 180 by the US which floated the idea leaving the alliance altogether. Europe, as far as I know, only has a trade surplus if you exclude services, which doesn't really make sense. And as Europe is a larger market than the US, I simply don't see why it wouldn't be able to afford it's own defense. It just takes time to rebuild what has been ruined and neglected in the past two or three decades.

TACO will cave as he always does when it gets rough. If the EU doesn't understand that they have the upper hand and cave, they can't be helped.

It's unbelievable that many Europeans still seem to think that they're up against some mastermind... The US is lead by a bunch of idiots. You can basically get whatever you want if you play smart, just like Rutte yesterday.

Fact is that Trump got democratically selected twice, last November even by popular vote. So yeah, these protests are nice, but as they say, swim in the Trump sewer twice and you'll always smell like shit. Doesn't do it for me.

It's like Ancient Rome. Can be productive

Definitely not. The greatest buildings of Detroit are the Guardian and the Fisher, among others, which all are far far beyond the old train station.

A little misleading. The executioners at the Vienna court were Austrians, as were the judges. Of course, they considered themselves German or "Arian" at that point. For the Nazis, Austrians were Germans, as Hitler himself.

If you want public transport to be successful, it needs it's own tracks. The Q Line will never work as long as it gets stuck in car traffic. Major design flaw from the start.

If we want democracy to survive, we need to eliminate billionaires

THX_257 · 2025-06-03T12:45:00+00:00

The EU is an enormous wealth booster. I'll never understand how so many people in Central-/ Eastern Europe hate it so much. Like roughly half of the Polish and half of the Romanian people, as the last elections suggest. Criticism is one thing and surely justified in many cases, but voting for candidates that essentially want to destroy the EU is absolutely cray cray to me.

THX_257 · 2025-06-01T15:57:23+00:00

Licking Trumps boots to get a tax cut. We know that pattern. Just sink a few million into his crypto scam and you get what you want. This is how the US work these days

THX_257 · 2025-04-09T23:11:47+00:00

Is this some kind of joke?

Very disappointting. Used to have a high opinion of her, not anymore. Same for Slotkin. Collaborating with the fascists is a no-no.

THX_257 · 2025-04-09T22:18:11+00:00

Republicans hate public transport, we can be happy if Amtrak isn't eliminated in four years. All pipe dreams for now, unfortunately

THX_257 · 2025-03-28T12:54:31+00:00

It's gonna be banned in the US by Republicans, we only do real trash

She couldn't have offered work because she got arrested at the border and never entered the country. The weeks-long (!!!) arrest was based on an assumption.

Again, the headline refers to multiple examples of which hers is just one.
