This is why the sales of cargo pants are up.

As are you, for the record.

Haha, good. “Life could be worse” is a win for most people nowadays. Take care.

How are you holding up there?

Wait for opportunities.

Implement policies that reinforce the economic downturn in the US that will inevitably come and jump into the holes it leaves behind in the global economy.

Note that even on a personal level we can do things to accelerate this. De-Google, switch to Linux, quit US social media, torrent movies and tv shows and quit Amazon, Netflix and Apple tv. Boycott America!

Hehe, I for one am going to enjoy watching the U.S. economy tank for the next four years and take the maga idiots down a notch or two.

One thing not mentioned is that if you ever want to “de-Google”, you will have to go to all websites and services where you logged in using your Google account, and (try and) change the authentication method. Avoid it if possible.

This depends on your (privacy) laws. The phone operators (and in all fairness, a lot of app developers) have access to the phone’s location.

If the government doesn’t need a warrant, and they can just ask for the location information at Apple or Google (or, for example Meta or X if those apps have location tracking permissions turned on), they could in theory find anyone they like at any time.

I concur. I noticed a lot of right wing people in the US never travel at all. They are only seeing and hearing information off of the Internet, colored by specific algorithms. If all you see of the world beyond your borders is through Fox news, you will have a skewed view.

Have him travel to another 1st world country, Europe, Japan or Canada, to see how people actually live there and there is nothing to fear.

Ideally, if you can afford it you can join him. I can wholeheartedly recommend a city like Antwerp, Copenhagen or Berlin for some history and also a relaxed atmosphere. If he’s more into nature the Norse fjords, the Greek coast, Ibiza (combines nature with partying) or the Swiss Alps are all amazing.

Because hexbear users would never do that, right? You’re fighting your battle on the wrong battleground.
