I accept that 100%. I’ve seen a decent bit the US and it’s such an enormous lump of land with so many different people and cultures that anyone trying to lump them together into some homogenous mass is off their rocker.
Sure you can travel an hour on a train in Europe and be in a totally different world culturally. The distance for those changes is bigger in the US but holy moly do they exist.
I’m only across the water in Ireland and I can tell you from experience that ambulances arrive quickly, are free and so is the treatment. The UK health system is measurably better than ours so I feel like this is plucked from somewhere that the sun doesn’t shine.
Very first thought was “surely that’s treason”.
I must look up the legal definition.
Travelled back in time and the past is shite.
Yeah that part did stick with me too. For what it’s worth I’d say most Irish adults have been to the US at some point and had a great time so it’s all quite a bit of confusion and horror.
We know right well that there are lots of really good folks there too though and Michael does a great job of portraying that in the clip.
He’s a good lad. We’re all very fond of him.
He’s a super lad but you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. This is one of my all time favourite bits of radio where he absolutely eviscerates someone against Obamacare at the time.
It’s from 2010 and 4 minutes long. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough that everyone who reads this gives it a listen.
Some light swearing at the end.
You can check the wallet to see if you have the bitcoin address.
It’s an analogue of the same subreddit which was spawned on reddit after “momforaminute” became very popular over there. I used to contribute on the dad one on reddit and I’m just a contributor making folks aware of the one here rather than being a mod or anything.
Also, I suppose kids come to different parents for different areas of advice and / or differing relationships with their parents. Certainly that’s the case with my own kids.
I also thought about dads asking for advices from other dads, could it be both?
I don’t see any reason why not but again I’m not the mod.
edit: I do recall quite a few of the folks asking for help or advice being ones who had grown up without a dad and they felt a certain loss in that regard so were reaching out from that perspective. Also people whose father had died and they used to go to them for advice in a specific area.
I used to contribute to that on Reddit. Might be worth trying to revive and post on here about if you have the time to mod it still.
I dunno. Apparently she’s the daughter of a wealthy man who just needs my help to get his fortune out of Poland.
My own experience with this was posting a shower thoughts thread while quite inebriated, forgetting I’d done it then waking up with a fairly full inbox so nothing controversial or argumentative.
Got my one today. Finally part of the gang.
Has anyone actually bothered engaging?
Yeah I could definitely identify each euro coin by feel.
It sure is and welcome to Lemmy :)
I have gotten a few family members and friends to use signal as I stated to them that this is the only way to get ahold of me.
Same. It’s the default app for everyone I’m close to.
E2E with privately generated and held keys, have you published your PGP public key yet?
Exactly. You can’t stop secure encryption.
I remember in the very old days of the internet when only the US had strong encryption and thought it was some gotcha. They labeled it a weapon to prevent overseas export. Phil Zimmerman created PGP, lobbed the source into a book (protected under 1st amendment) then shipped it overseas.
If strong encryption exists and people want to use it, you’re just not going to be able to stop them.
Shameful.
Wasn’t the pipeline closed after the contract expired at the end of 2024?
No it didn’t. Europe ponied up mostly cash to keep the country running while the US donated arms and intelligence because they had more of it but total value Europe was ahead.
