Maybe that’s the only way US will ever get a third party. I’m not an American but I do think american politics system would be significantly stronger even with a minority 3rd party. Can you imagine how powerful US would be with a diverse parlament that has true competition of ideas not just partisan voting? That’s true “checks and balances”.

Hopefully this means theres more space for European Union to take leadership!

It’ll absolutely influence the rest of the world though :(

My friend is a locksmith and if your area is not overcrowded and you can keep a good company running it’s really good. People pay a lot of money to get back into their car at 6am but also every building needs a lock and the locks need maintenance.

It’s a real business though as the trade aspect of cutting a key or opening a door isn’t difficult at all. The challenge is running business, accounting and all the certifications and associated protocols. With all that said, it can get crowded real fast so this all only works if you’re one of 3 locksmiths in town at most.

Electrician 100% and it’s really fun too.

I’m a software dev and that would be my backup trade as it scratches every intellectual itch if you work on more complex setups as well as mechanical fulfillment as you actually see your work published. The community is huge and the demand will almost never decline. The only downside that it’s not very mobile but still much more mobile than most other trades.

she’s kinda cute but then she opens her mouth and shit starts falling out of it 🤮

American number 1 priority would be to get out this 2 party system with ranked voting or something.

I can’t imagine thinking about “serving people” when majority of them turned out to be hateful idiots that frankly deserve getting their faces eaten by a leopard. Let her catch a break maybe?

They are so incredibly dishonorable it’s appalling.

I have a lot of ketamine users in my town and many highly functioning ones and it’s very clear that the drug has long tail disassociative effects. They are so disconnected and zombie like despite seemingly functional.

I say this as a psychonaut myself - long term K use is pretty scary but people are afraid to shit on K because if not abused it’s seems to have a lot of powerful positive effects on many.

Americans still being gullible idiots thinking this will do anything while bad actors a running rampant 🤦‍♂️

Exoskeletons are almost viable already. Climbing a major hike without breaking a sweat is a real dream for outdoors people

Though number one for me would be personal temperature control. Imagine having the perfect ac everywhere you go. Somehow scifi ignores this idea but that would change everything.

Also cybernetic eyes obviously.

Yeah this quote really pivoted my life to a strong cosmopolitan view. By detaching ideas from people you can pick and choose and design your own philosophy and direction without attachment to exact people or inherited culture.

This is quite liberating mentally as solving cognitive dissonance is very expensive and theres an incredible amount of cognitive dissonance required to follow people who are often flawed or have conflicting ideas attached to them.

I think it applies outside of politics as well like art and even business.

That’s much more wholesome!

“Don’t follow people - follow ideas” which seems more relevant today than ever before it seems.

As in have low expectations of everything?

Yeah but this sort of cartoon type of dictator is not realistic.

They always have some public support and as long as you lie and control some useful idiots it’s never going to be an ideal rise up people think it would be. It’ll be chaos with some resistance that’ll be marked as terrorists and nothing will be clear enough for “taking down some baddies with me” scenarios.

Can you imagine that some idiots were turned against Zelensky - it’s insane. One of true contemporary heroes.

Yeah lol that would never happen.

If americans can’t even form strong, lasting peaceful protests how could they form an armed resistance against literally the most advanced and powerful military in the world? Even US police is equipped with military APCs - what is your glock gonna do about that?

The 2nd amendment never made sense in the contemporary world. The casualty rate would be 1 to HUNDREDS just through sheer technological and skill difference and no uprising can possibly sustain that.
