But honey, our relationship is based on trust, and you’re destroying that trust when you are deliberately catching me cheating on you

wtf?!?

I don’t really know what Pretti showed us. That compassion getting in the way of fascists gets you killed?

I think on a tactical level the Panthers may be doing it right, but on the other hand, if you’re demonstrably armed, then you’re a target. If you knew that in a certain area there’s black panthers armed with small arms, then you’d either stay away or “dress for the part” by rolling in an APC, or identify the black panthers and pick them up when they’re not standing on a street corner with a ready semiauto 12ga.

Something we may take away from Alex Pretti is that you need to go for the oppressors first, and help the oppressed second. But what we can take away from both panthers and Pretti is, don’t do it alone, there’s strength in numbers.

Yes, I once bought a vehicle from a little old lady who never used it. What’s the point in buying something for then to never use it?

Pretti had the background to expect lawful and reasonable behavior from the authorities. What Pretti then experienced was all but that. Now people should know better.

Most lynching victims were have been (apparently people in the US are still lynching) accused of either murder or rape. So have a look at this NSFL Wikipedia article and look at the accusations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lynching_victims_in_the_United_States

In some cases, especially closer to the present, lynchers have been prosecuted and sentenced, but it a lot of situations this wasn’t the case.

Well, if somebody threatens you, you should probably do something about that. As Megan and Kelly of The Devil Said Jump sings in “make me buy a gun” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VEVk4I_htWE

[Chorus]
These motherfuckers are gonna make me buy a gun
I’m done with stressin’
Get my Smith and Wesson, on God

[Verse 1]
They come for my rights
‘Cause they can’t take my light
And they hate me for shining so bright
They come with their anger
But darlin’, they ain’t never met mine

[Verse 2]
They’re sorely mistaken if they thought
I’d lay down and die
Damn cowards had better come right for
The fight of their lives

[Chorus]
‘Cause these motherfuckers are gonna make me buy a gun
Sore losers restarted a fight
That we’ve already won

I wonder what it would do in relation to vertigo. I mean there’s no gravity to affect the vestibular system, but there are strong visual cues.

Ah crap, I’m going to go down a “what happens when an astronaut spins” rabbit hole today, ain’t I? I had shit to do, oh well

1. Just because it’s a meme comm does that make it OK to use non inclusive words? Can we use racial slurs, because it’s a meme comm? What about ableism?
2. I don’t see what that has to do with anything, other than highlighting your immense powers of deduction.
3. Whether cultural appropriation is a thing or not is not up to us to decide. I can definitely see how someone, from a downtrodden cultural minority, could want to protect their culture. I couldn’t give less of a fuck if you wanted to eat rød grød med fløde or risalamande, but then again, as you implicitly pointed out, nobody’s tried to destroy my cultural heritage recently.

And lighten up? I made a comment apologetically pointing out a possible issue with regards to inclusion, and you took it like I had just raped you cat. WTF? Could you lighten up? I wasn’t attacking you

Lol I think the only thing more ADHD, than my obsessing about the issues with the post, is interpreting a comment almost apologetically pointing out the issues, as an assault and getting defensive about it.

The spirit animal concept is problematic itself https://duckduckgo.com/?q=is+spirit+animal+cultural+appropriation and claiming that it’s a duck exposes either your own lack of knowledge or sexual kinks.

Besides reading articles about it, potentially written by white Europeans or hallucinated by AI, I can’t know whether spirit animals actually are offensive, as we don’t have a lot of native Americans here in Scandinavia to talk with. But if we want to be inclusive then maybe we should just err on the side of caution?

YSK ducks gang rape, routinely resulting in female ducks, and their ducklings, drowning. But sure, you be a duck.

Also, and this may sound harsher than it’s meant. I mean I don’t know you, this may not even apply to you. Anyway, I thought the whole spirit animal thing went down the hole labeled cultural appropriation. Not that I’m offended, if it is cultural appropriation, then I’m on the list of cultures for whom it’s inappropriate to use.

Which just underlines my point even further. A phone with an acceptable level of hardware can be had for 90€, but if you want a phone that you can coerce into running some acceptable software, then you’ll need to spend 3.5 times as much (the cheapest pixel 6 I’ve been able to find is 320€)

Reasonable hardware, running reasonable software, at a reasonable price. Pick two from the list because apparently we can’t have all three.

I want a platform with as little single entity control as possible. If that is to succeed, there needs to be relevant apps available. That effectively means Android, because the only other platform with enough app support is ios and I don’t think apple would be too keen on anybody attempting to fork that.

So Android it is, just kick out google and their services.

Sorry, didn’t mean to become that aggressive. It’s just the Graphene situation is bizarre. I mean get away from Google, by buying Google products.

GrapheneOS is great.

Sure, if you want to spend twice or thrice the money for a phone. I can get a perfectly acceptable 8GB RAM 256GB storage Motorola G75 for 90€ https://www.cbb.dk/shop/mobiltelefoner/motorola/motorola-moto-g75/?variant=Motorola-Moto-G75-256-GB-Gra_1

Cheapest Pixel available to me is the first gen Pixel XL with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, which is listed at 240 USD, and that’s a 10 year old phone with shitty specs even for 2016.https://inphone.dk/shop/485-google/1466-google-pixel-xl---sort---32gb/

We need graphene for more phones than Google’s.

What allies? The US have none left… Well except for Russia and Hungary

Danes will have to order more, then…

Appreciating the spineless incompetence of the elected officials in our government, I suspect that they would bite the pillow and think happy thoughts while ordering replacements.

Tried getting one in Bispebjerg Kommun and they refused me. I had a smartphone. I told them that a security update bricked my phone’s security. I was told to simply buy a new phone.

First off, that’s just wrong of them. I don’t know, but I think you could file a complaint with indenrigsministeriet, and if they tell you to take a hike then Folketingets Ombudsmand.

But more importantly, you can circumvent the local yahoos and order it online instead. https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/get-started-with-mitid/how-to-use-mitid/mitid-code-display/#order you will need a valid passport though.

What did he do?

Well, here in Denmark you can get a NemKey device. But that’s only given to old people in care homes.

Negative, you can get a device if you want to. Even if you already have an active MitID app.

In other words, here in Denmark the expectation is that you have a smartphone. Loads of services are now smartphone dependent, like taking public transport (tickets and check-in cards are slowly being phased out).

Again here you can use an NFC card, but the company behind the common app system really rather you didn’t. So much so that they’ve occasionally taken out half the card readers on the platforms, by putting an advert for the app on them.

Please don’t be like Denmark. This sucks. Rooting your phone, to get rid of privacy invading bloatware, makes your phone insecure, and you can’t use it for money transfers or ID verification.

I’m trying not to go off on a rant here, but please don’t be like Denmark.

More than just a plane ticket. You need a marketable skill that is easily transferred, rent, food, utilities, new transportation, new licensing, and coverage for enough months until you can get the job. Also, the immigration fees.

You’ll need a marketable skill, rent, food, and transportation if you stay, too. I’m not sure what you mean by licensing. Immigration fees is something that I haven’t looked into before, but it appears to be something like 800€ in here Denmark.

As for language, if you pick the Netherlands, Scandinavia or larger German cities, then English will be OK.

I’m not saying that I think it’s a walk in the park, nor that’ll be free, but it may be easier, and less expensive, than people think. Start by going on an extended vacation to the countries that you’re interested in. Maybe talk with potential employers. Then make plans afterwards.

How much does it take?
