Yeah… and Ukraine clearly shouldn’t have signed without it

And that was the issue of the memorandum - it should’ve included something akin to Article 5

It is the limitation of democracy and why it is the worst (except all the others) - because it allows this.

How to fix this? These would be a good start: don’t polarize the society like this and create us vs. them mentality. In place of power hungry populists have people in charge who want the best for the country. Don’t enable fascists - they never should make it this far. Respect other people. Invest in education so people understand these basics.

And this is not just about US. It’s scary that this is wherr us got because they are such a big player on the world stage

I wish you luck and safety.

Take it up with Winston Churchil - I was just paraphrasing his quote.

The point is democracy is terrible, but we don’t have anything better.

All Americans? As in every single individual? I don’t think so. There are many who will suffer under Trump regime I’m sure.

The generalized Americans? Hell yeah. And I bet majority of the individuals I mentioned above would back it up

Democracy really is the worst form of government, just not as bad as all the others…

Unfortunately in such polarized times like now, even though majority wants this, the ammount of people for which this is unacceptable is only slightly less than “the majority”. And besides, I believe a big part of “the majority” is just gullible enough to be persuaded they want this while it actually goes against their interests

This is the way, but also be vigilant - if they really wanted the thing, they might’ve gotten it themselves. If possible, double check this.

Rationally I know you will smell one another but I still maintain the opinion it will cancel each other out as a joke - to great frustration of my wife

At 18? I wish. Getting dark at 16-17 here now.

CalyxOS had a bit wider compatibility list than just listing Pixels if I remember correctly, so might look into that.

Let me put it this way - I know nothing about programing and was also scared of all the terminal talk and stuff. And I can vouch for Linux Mint.

You know how you sometimes havento use command line in Windows for some issues? That’s pretty much comparable to terminal usage from my layman perspective. I installed Linux Mint on a separate drive and only booted to Windows once or twice since then - it’s been couple of months now

You are in your 20s so you probably won’t have a referrence point but to me it felt like going back to simpler, older Windows version

I just have a soft spot for Warcraft-style orcs. Something about their seemingly brutish nature and deep sense of honor. I also just like their visual style, be it the race, their fashion or architecture.

Depends on what you are looking for. I think Lemmy works great and I only really go to reddit when a google search leads me there for something. Though I do miss the niche communities and the “there is a subreddit for everything”.

Lemmy is also healthier, I used to just scroll through reddit for literal hours, it’s possible to reach an end of sort for the time.

Definitely feels more like reddit used to feel - though with caveats.

He built this big boat, would be a shame not to use it

Had no idea God had a first name

I mean yeah… it’s Yahweh.

That’s how I readnit the first time. Now I’m thinking it’s “hi hungry, I’m dad”

I got the good bite one. I guess the second one also explains what “hung-ee” was supposed to mean :D
