  • You could make a case that based on his other comments and stochastic terrorist language that what he said was dangerous, but those claiming that this specific instance was a threat either didn’t listen closely to what he said (you don’t give someone facing a firing squad a rifle of their own), or just listen to those media reports who are purposefully spreading disinformation.

    He has made plenty of statements that are prosecutable, people don’t need to grasp at straws.

    To answer the question, yeah if you said the same thing Trump did about Cheney, you’d be fine. It wasn’t a threat. He said give her a rifle and put her on the front lines if she’s so eager to have a war, see how she feels then.

    That’s said, Vote. Vote for Harris. While Trump didn’t advocate for putting Cheney in front of a firing squad here, he has asked his military personnel to kill citizens and next time he won’t have someone that will stop him.



  • We already did, to New Zealand. Education visa to get a PhD my partner had been eager to get, followed by work visa and/or resident visa. Few more years and then permanent resident then citizenship.

    We’d been saving up/planning for a decade because we wanted to leave anyway, the environment that gave us Trump only encouraged us to leave. Years later and I’m still 100% convinced we made the right choice for us.

    I suggest finding a culture that fits yours, making a very detailed budget, exploring all the options for visas and plan for future visa extensions/applications, and making some sacrifices to get where you want to be.

    Lots of EU countries have generous options if you have lineage, I’d start with that as getting into one of them gets you into all of them eventually.




  • “Don’t look down! Don’t look down!” shouted the man standing before the crowd, pumping his fist to accent each word. The chant went on for about 15 seconds, around 8 times the Florida crowd copied the politician before them. The crowd hushed as he began to speak again: “This… Is about control” he started. “‘They’ want you to be fearful, to be obedient… But we’re not falling for their nonsense! They tried with the plan-demic and they’re trying again with this. Well I say NO. We will be FREE because Patriots like you and me will never let them take that freedom!”

    The crowd roared in cheers as the water lapped at their ankles.


  • I already moved. It’s not just Trump that’s the problem, and even if he loses in 2024, or does in office, the issues still will persist. America needs to figure out how to make the judicial system work properly and norms need to be codified. Vast swaths of the population need to change their culture of “us vs them”.

    I won’t be going back, the way things work with Republicans, you can’t just move to a blue state, you have to move out of the country.





  • If it’s anything like Boost for Reddit was, it’s unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you’ll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can’t recall.

    My point is, ads were non-obstructive
