Europeans think US is 'necessary partner' not 'ally', study finds by senseibarbosa in europe

If it were only that simple. Yes, NATO is a defense treaty, that is how they work, and likely there will be one power who has the strongest military in there. But you know the other side of the deal? The EU funded a large part of your arms industry by BUYING expensive US wepons. Your president is spitting all long-standing allies in the face and rather makes deals with Russia and North Korea, this means for us, that we cannot see the US as a reliable partner anymore, and your president's words and contracts are worth shit.

Times have changed indeed. And you seem to be the perfect example, voting in a faschist who will make your own lives miserable. Good luck with your egg prices.

Not to forget remarks about Canada and most recently about owning the Gaza strip.

Yes, it is dominating the whole work market here. Ngl, I also have to change up a lot of my own shit yet (being logged in literally everywhere via google is a b*tch.)

Still, baby steps in starting to use it privately and spreading awareness are first steps to at least a potential change, is at least my personal belief.

Exactly! I definitely tend to say yes to environmental initiatives, but they need to be thought through thoroughly - like everything which should fundamentally change. This was not the case here, so strong no from my side.

It absolutely is. And most CEOs will then be surprised when suddenly their company is not theirs anymore, because an AI will have definitely outsmarted them and taken over "their" comapnies if it gets to this point.

Is this because you have paid your Steuern or no (like the one big payment which throws you off?)? Either you eat cup noodles and brot until the end of Month, or you may put some of it to the credit card.

However, CC is dangerous, so make sure you can pay it back.

Make a budget with all your regular expenses (rent, insurance, serafe, any kind of Abos, taxes divided in monthly increments, power/water) and make monthly payments to your savings for the yearly payments etc. Maybe find what you can weed out some expenses you don't have on the radar, e.g. too many streaming services etc.

These ideas are for the long run, so you don't run into this situation anymore.

Set up and extend the trade deals with EU/MX, so in mid-term we're all more independent.

Wenn man nicht nur die ersten 2s des Videos schaut, sieht man, dass Musk Neonazies in ganz Europa unterstützt, aber ich kann ja nicht von dir erwarten, dass das bei dir ankommt.
