a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

While this is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

I’ve heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

I’m not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

Had to check which community I was in to make sure I wasn’t in the Onion one.

Nah, it’s too late for that. Other leaders are starting learn this too. You keep giving in so Trump asks for more, and then more. Nothing will ever be enough for him.

This is no longer about swallowing your pride and appealing to his enormous ego.

Like I said elsewhere, everyone is really just waiting for him to come after the federal judges who have been holding back his EOs. The DOJ is currently being torn apart, but he’ll get there eventually.

Right, and the puppet in charge will be rather obvious. The only other candidate that would win in a fair Ukrainian election is even more aggressive about opposing Russia than Zelenskyy, but since this is going to be rigged neither of those will win.

(for those curious: the Ukrainian constitution prohibits electing a president during war, it’s especially hard with 20% of the country under hostile control; and regarding Zelensky’s rating, it’s about 70% currently)

A lot of Ukrainians have also fled the country, it makes no sense to organize this before ending the war. Why do we have to have this discussion? They are at war, marshal law is common during times of war to keep your country unified during these periods. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have vast oceans between them and their adversaries to allow for elections of their highest office to continue uninterrupted.

Nah that wasn’t my intention. It’s true that they’re similar, but I’ve mostly been watching American politics.

I really hope Europe starts making some moves.

From the moment he won the election until now we’ve seen a lot of world leaders attempting to make nice with him and appease him. It should be clear now that he cannot be appeased nor will his ego ever be satisfied. He is going to take and take and take until other countries start telling him no and laying out boundaries that they’re willing to strictly enforce if need be.

It’ll take time before the damage starts to really, really be felt.

Federal judges across the country have issued injunctions on everything he’s been writing up at this point. We’re all just waiting for what is left of our legal process to finish, if it’s allowed to do so given the current state of things. These judges will hopefully drag their feet on any ruling. If the appeals court does the same then you’ve got a while before the scotus can do Trump’s bidding.

Inevitably when the process either finishes or Trump bullies these people out of their posts it’ll take about a month or two. When social services get cut so that people aren’t getting their social security, can’t access or afford medications and whatever else he’s cooked up they’ll cry. They probably won’t point the finger in the right place though.

Everyone’s memeing but it looks grim.

Having AI turn into an arms race between China and the U.S. will only accelerate its growth. For a while it looked like AI was stagnating, the bubble might burst, and people were tempering their expectations of what we had. That just got thrown out the window. I can’t think of any way you could damage the competitiveness of what China is offering, so U.S. tech now have to improve and there will probably be greater support from the U.S. government to see that improvement.

People simply don’t win in the long term when these improvements will go towards taking their jobs.

For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.

I just don’t understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It’s not just frustrating. It’s depressing.

Gotta second this. Especially if the growth is sudden. It’s very difficult to integrate newer users into the existing culture.

There are merits to being a smaller community.

We have that on FFXIV too. If you play on PC and use mods.

Elon is apparently censoring conservatives who disagreed with him over the immigration issue.

I don’t really see much change occurring though. Most conservatives I know will continue deluding themselves.

Obsession would be going after more quiet public figures.

This is Trump who is constantly in the news for one reason or another. If we’re going to be tormented by having to wake up and see his stupid decisions in the news each day then we might as well just keep memeing.

This is just a blatant power grab. It’s not about porn, after all if they were really concerned about nsfw sites they’d be happy with how easy the site is to regulate. If they wanted to they could potentially find a way to bring in tax revenue with it.

This is all about control and getting people used to having the government invading their privacy. Over time they’ll shift and start invading other online spaces.

All my siblings are way older than me(only lived with one for 4 years), and every one of them besides my sister has greeted me as little shit at some point.

The more people you hire the more people have access to the votes for possible physical tampering.

At the end of the day there is no solution that will make all of our elections fraud-proof. Just audit every election from now on. Yes, it’s a bit embarrassing that it’s necessary, but sadly this is the world we live in now.

Remember if you’re going to any protests. Don’t bring your phone and wear a mask. Use a map if you’re not familiar with the area, write any important numbers you might need to call from a cell on your arm. Let friends know where you’re going and don’t go alone if you can.

Seeing Walz as her VP pick was such a win and then everything started slipping away. If you listened to her speeches you’d start to notice she was slowly leaning more conservative, slowly backpedaling on a lot of Biden admin policies even. And for some reason she was absolutely obsessed with going on right wing media outlets.

I genuinely think she’s rather well spoken but what a waste of potential.
