I would’ve packed all my bags already…

I mean the rise of European right-wing populism is also concerning, but it’s still a lot less idiocratic here currently. So just leave the states? (it’s honestly what I’d do anyway).

Linux Mint maybe? Or Android?

I’d say that is a Nescafé for Mac users

Haha accurate, NixOS is missing.

I’m using a Cafelat Robot.

I guess I’m spoiled by my (yet working) european liberal democracy. No idea it got that bad that you need to worry about such things…

I.e. do the opposite of what happens in MURICA.

Why no phone? Also is it still that bad with CoVid, that even outside a mask is necessary?

Honestly unfortunately mostly unrealistic: a systemic chage towards deliberative democracy (not just USAs broken electoral democracy) would be the best according to most political science. It’s (way to) slowly happening in some European states (so the right shift may reverse that trend again). This indirection vie simple voting tends to lean towards populism and manipulation. Which got unfortunately incredibly obvious in the presidential election…

As “hardcore-left” as I am, I just cannot fathom, being so dumb to not vote “to show the dems”. The policies of bad Republican presidents hurt us till today. Think about Reagan vastly accelerating the gap between rich and poor, or Nixon with his failed war drugs.

The more golf he plays the less damage he can do

MACA - Make America Cancer Again

They also dropped IIRC: 74 - > 71

But that doesn’t help if the dems lose 15 M…

Not sure if I’d categorize these as sane…

It has, as voter turnout could be significantly better. It’s not yet clear what it is, but so far it doesn’t look very good.

Nah NixOS

Laughing in NixOS…

“by an accident”…

Yeah mushrooms contain a good amount of umami (one of the ingredients of meat that makes it “tasty”). For me it took quite some time (maybe 2-4 years) until my gut adjusted to the taste of a (mostly) vegan diet. But then there’s just a lot more diversity and interesting taste otherwise. With a good amount of experimentation combining all kinds of different things to compose a unique taste. With meat it’s often just the main taste-defining/dominating ingredient (so kinda boring?). I avoid the highly processed “meat”-replacements though, maybe that helped a bit to get my taste away of meat.

Yeah that annoys me actually more. You often already see in the beginning what kind of (predictable) romance is developing, which just distracts from the main and more interesting plot, adding some kind of annoying drama that is just not necessary.
