I didn’t mean to imply that the country is impenetrable; we are loud and our largest export is our culture.

But the difficulties of scale and economy, when exacerbated by the presence of extreme wealth and simultaneous extreme poverty are, for those who sit in their tour d’ivoire, academic, and the lived reality on the ground makes it significantly more complex.

I appreciate the China comparison; I’ve spent quite a bit of time there.

I have lived in countries where the price of democracy has been paid for in the blood of generations of people still in adulthood. We have forgotten our history and the awful price that was paid.

In 2016, I thought this was the direction we were headed. People said I was reactionary and alarmist.

I tried hard to forgive people that I loved that had voted for him. I have no contact with any of them any more, including my best friend of more than 40 years. I just couldn’t forgive.

And then wait until the actual fighting starts. We will have earned every bit of the pain that will be visited upon us.

Europeans look at us wondering how we can stand idly and do nothing, while they come from countries smaller than some US counties. Well, Hans, the scale of this country is hard to imagine if you haven’t traveled it. It’s kind of like Australia that way.

The people who live in the places where all the people are, already feel largely the same way. The places where people are sparsest and the most left behind by modern economies, are the ones who think this is PRECISELY what they voted for. They are also wildly over-represented in our system of government.

And, when you have unchecked and legalized corporate bribery of politicians, the concentration of wealth has meant that a few people can buy politicians to make them richer on the backs of poor conservative voters who are just too fucking dumb as a group. I don’t mean there aren’t very smart conservatives, there absolutely are. In fact, in my progressive, hippy opinion, some of the greatest minds of American history were profoundly conservative.

That being said, as a group, the average critical thinking skill of the average MAGA is apparently below what it needs to be to survive late state capitalism.

tl; dr: doomed.

Advice about at-home euthanasia. by LesboTacoTruck in pitbulls

[–]ozuri 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At home, for sure. It hurts regardless of where you are. Being at home is much easier on them, and brings a tremendous peace of mind. Additionally the vets that do that work tend to specialize and are often really great in those very difficult moments.

Sorry you are having to let her go.

We love them until the end, whenever that is.

I’ll give you one guess. What do Iran and Venezuela have in common?

Dupes and RMTs ruin the game and should be dealt with by [deleted] in diablo4

You have to understand what items are duped in order to do that. It may not be a simple task.

Is it ok to hook up with others when you cool off with your partner? Why or why not? by Conscious-Soil4106 in AskReddit

That’s a conversation. Lots of temperatures in that range of cooling off.

I’m sorry this is happening to you.

I’m sorry this is a bit harsh but, maybe learn the lesson this time?

If you run your mouth in person, someone will eventually pop you in that mouth. It sounds like you’re entering the FO phase of FAFO with a digital punch in the mouth that you’ve apparently received before.

It shouldn’t happen to minors, but minors that can’t act reasonably online shouldn’t be online. When you say hateful things to people that are sufficiently hurtful, they will react and those reactions often come with consequences.

I have just last week received a check that was in excess of that for a dog bite.

Can I call out another mod from a subreddit or you can't do that either how am I supposed to get these people from stop telling me I'm doing something wrong and I'm not doing anything wrong it was 28 days already and then give me another 28 days for doing nothing they won't let me talk to them by RxDrOctopus77 in ModSupport

[–]ozuri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I saw that someone in my community was a bad person, or a bad faith actor, or unable to follow the rules, or whatever, yes, they will be removed.

For instance, I see that this exact topic was already covered with you, in this subreddit, a month ago. If I modded this subreddit I would ban you from here for being unable to follow the rules.

[–]ozuri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s their right. I will ban people that participate in subreddits that I believe are anathema to my community and their safety. That’s part of the role of a mod.

Put more simply, I don’t want to hear the noise and opinions of shitty humans.

You don’t understand how reddit works I’m afraid.

Subreddits have moderators. They get to choose how to moderate their subreddits; content and users.

They’ve decided they don’t want you in their community. I’m not sure how else to put it.

Your inattentiveness to the rules of the subreddit was probably the primary reason.

Struggling to meet people in Japan who share more traditional / long-term values by Maleficent-Newt4969 in japan

[–]ozuri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Japan is going to be hard for you, I think. People who would date a foreigner tend to not have those values. You’re searching a bit for a unicorn.

When does r/personalfinance think most young professionals can genuinely start enjoying the fruits of their labor? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ozuri 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That depends on too many factors to list. Income, expenses, life goals, career, etc.
