No no even with aerospace, you’re good now. We’re deregulating everything. It’ll be fine. Definitely won’t be catastrophic. Don’t worry about it. 🫠

Yes. Absolutely.

Honestly, even if the man himself were still around to push back, they’d probably call him an “an tea fuh woke mind virus communist” or some shit like that.

I think, societally, this country is completely done. This is our final form, and I hate it with every bone and sinew in my body.

No. Fuck you.

Is this a surprise?

Haha wow this would probably be super dangerous if he did it in a country with one of the most lax firearms laws in the world and where the ratio of firearms:population is notably greater than 1

-so, so many people that I’ve talked to.

Stop being surprised. They made a playbook. The posted it online 5 years ago. They said they’d follow it. They are following it. They will continue to follow it. This is not a surprise. You’re not allowed to be surprised.

STOP BEING FUCKING SURPRISED BY THIS.

Oh, good. They themselves shouldn’t mind, then.

This isn’t a parallel to the Munich Agreement.

The appropriate and correct historical parallel is the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact.

Ok. Break into my Signal chats, without access to my phone. Go.

Oh wait: you can’t.

So, let’s take a second and make something crystal clear:

This isn’t because he covered protests.

It’s because he INTENDED TO cover protests.

What a time to be alive.

lol maybe because they’re really overtly censoring stuff and it’s getting so obvious even investors realize that it’s killing itself?

Agreed. But this is a stopped clock situation, and the sentiment is not wrong.

Fuck you, turtleboi.

You did this. You materially and consistently helped this to happen.

YOU FUCKING DID THIS.

For most normal users, Signal is pretty much as good as it gets. Sure, I can set up a similar bespoke e2e protocol for myself, but I’m also a software engineer with near on two decades of experience. That’s not a reasonable or feasible expectation for the vast majority of the population.

You’re being comically reductive and naïve, and you know it. Don’t be an asshole.

Oh god fucking damnit seriously? He’s hollowing out the fucking Smithsonian? Jesus tapdancing christ.

lol true, that’s a totally fair critique of my logic

Also, check out the criminal justice system. Something like a 98 or 99% conviction rate, iirc. Kinda insane.

And the corollary there is that a blind eye is turned towards a LOT of things, especially if it involves yakuza and it’s not reasonably serious. And the attendant corruption that comes with that, of course.

Can’t say it holds a candle to what the US is doing these days though.

Honestly, you’ll be spoiled for choice. There’s a ton of great breweries all over. The NEIPAs are very good, but there’s also some REALLY good traditional Germanic-styled breweries. I’d be happy to offer some recommendations (or meet for a pint or two!) whenever you get the chance to visit :)
