I’m extremely anti-credit. But, there are things that require you have some kind of credit score— like renting an apartment. When I was in Los Angeles, I was actually rejected from signing a lease because I had no credit. Not bad credit. None at all, which they said was actually worse, somehow.
You are attempting to conflate fascist leaders with the citizens that they rule over. Doesn’t make much sense. Do you believe 380 million people all think the same? Do you think we’re all equally represented by the current fascist regime?
and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens
Yeah, shitty rhetoric. What our “leaders” do and what the people do are mutually exclusive. You’re still not addressing the fact that Americans have a strong history of rebellion and protest that is going to look different than the highly homogenized and concentrated countries in Europe.
Ban streaming services from advertising they have something on their platform and when you go to it, you realize you need to pay for an add-on subscription.
I don’t get this rhetoric. Americans started the largest civil rights protests in human history against police brutality in 2020 with the George Floyd protests. And, it included the destruction of a police station in Minnesota.
Careful what you wish for.
Yea, I suppose it is about perspective. I started using Facebook in 2009 when I was in high school. For me, it was the same deal— finding friends, hangouts, parties, etc. and it noticeably went downhill as it became more corporate and flooded with boomers who brought a toxic culture to it, imo.
There is an argument to be made that fleeing anytime fascists threaten your democracy can maybe done once in a lifetime. If you happen to flee the American fascist regime to another country that collapse into fascism soon after, do you flee again? Do you finally stay and fight?
People should make these decisions for themselves and their families.
To be fair, Facebook 2010 was peak and nowhere near the toxic environment it is today.
I feel there’s an intuitive suspicion when it comes to DNA Ancestry companies.
Fuck yes. Doesn’t matter if you’re a German tourist in Mexico, an American tourist in Japan, or a Chinese tourist at an American buffet— respect the local etiquette if you are going to travel.
Barely even that. Someone who likes marijuana is more likely.
