Am European, at least in the big cities, public transport is mostly not worth using unless you are too poor to afford better options. Too crowded, too hot, there’s a decent chance of arriving at your destination drenched in sweat. Not to me

It’s a bad look to have to explicitly deny things like this.

I’m sure the preservation folks will tend to be older, but they’re still going to end up grouped with all other gamers. It’s a deeply unfortunate association. The “gamer” identity is toxic to the point where “gamer word” means “racial slur

I suppose the charitable interpretation is that those who would invest considerable time campaigning for this are deeply into gaming, which is an activity typically associated with younger people. There’s also the fact that through events l

It’s a war, par for the course to execute people for ”speech crimes” during such times. We executed William Joyce and assassinated many like him, nobody seriously questions the morality of that. They deserved their fates a thousand times ov

Of course they wouldn’t, the admin is claiming the seemingly non-existent ”gulf coast coalition” will fund it.

It’s the Trump admin signature big number that goes on all documents, not a reference to real money that exists or is genuinely expected to exist.

If the congress rejects this deal, it cripples the US ability to negotiate in the future and essentially just forces an unconditional US surrender as nobody has appetite for a ground invasion of Iran. Congress can only sabotage deals like t

What is congress going to do? Say “never negotiate with the US”? It’s not like congress can very feasibly reject this deal in the end, Iran would just extort the gulf countries and it’d be even harder to sell an intervention.

Which is a reasonable position, given that the Jews within this specific locale are mostly homicidal maniacs. Given the context, Palestinians wanting to kill every last Israeli Jew is a totally defensible position. It’s a natural reaction t

You are forgetting to count everyone who voted for him by not voting against him.

First google result https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-03/ty-article/.p... At least according to this study, almost all Israelis are monsters who openly support genocide.

If you go outside, you’ll find the vast majority of Americans thought Trump would make an acceptable president. Either they voted for him or didn’t vote against him. It’s because their definition of “acceptable” mostly involves screwing o

It is an indisputable fact that when polled, most Israelis openly support genocide.

The average American voter primarily uses their vote in an effort to hurt other people who might support a different team.

Sure, but this is more akin to dismissing a 1click RCE as “social engineering” because an employee has to be convinced to click a link.

It’s up to the Swiss to decide as much as it was up to the Melians.

Swiss can never be like the UK or Turkey if it reneges on the deal it has now. The other two have leverage, Swiss do not.

Trust? Sure. They’re still more likely to buy their prepaid SIM from the shop that also sells bongs, they are on every corner after all.

Manned border checkpoints are inevitable in that case, it would be an external border. But of course a blockade isn’t a realistic option, the Swiss would fold immediately if they thought things were headed in that direction. You could never

I’m just pointing out that in Europe the equivalent legal requirement is widely ignored, the same won’t necessarily repeat in the US, but it might.

That’s the legal requirement yes, I’ve never seen a shop insist on it. Most of them have autofill scripts for the KYC forms.

Sure, but if you’re a tourist in e.g. Barcelona trying to get a prepaid SIM, odds are the shopkeeper will not ask you for your ID despite being required to. > Last I traveled the shop required a passport or uploading one to get an eSIM a
