Yeah, and the American election will show wether or not he runs the US as well.

I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you'll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn't neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

The joke being that in the cities you won't find much guns, but travel out to the country and you'll find large showrooms.

But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

Americans will get a rude awakening if they think Europe will just lay down our arms because they say so.

If the orange one wins, that's a wedge into the divide between us.

No.

Please read my original post again. Did I say "was and always has been" or did I say "is"?

It is gambling, because dark pools. That is the house. You're not trading the actual stock. The financial institutions do that. You buy stock from them, and they in turn give you a fake number and invest it in all secrecy.

In essence, you'll get your money, but they will handle the profits. So it is a rigged slot machine.

And before you go "it's to avoid liability", fucking duh - it doesn't make it right though.

In other words, you put any content up there, they can resell it to some movie studio AND make an AI copy of you with no consequences... at least according to their ToS.

EU law however... well, time will tell how fast and violently EU lawyers will inject themselves into the urethra of the service provider.

Bruh, wtf you think stock trading is? Buying into funds is just hiring professional gamblers to work for you, "insider trading* is cheating and dark pools is just the high rollers table.

Ngl, Hitler 2.0 was not in my 2024 bingo card...

haha it suffered a slow and agenising death...

I can recommend utilizing watchtower for image updates and ChainGuard registry for image layering if someone is using Docker. Watchtower should be fairly easy to implement, even across images, and chainguard meets with governmental and military standards. They are also quite lightweight images, since they've gone over to a new base distro that cuts down on a lot of cruft.

Ah yes, the revolving door argument, the favourite of prison industrial complex barons - and also the whipping boy of conservative election cycles.

It also created lots more crime, because being "hard on crime" means depriving families of breadwinners, giving them a new social status so that they become second class citizens, and even saddling them with debt they can't pay while being fed through an industrial complex where they get traumatized and brow beaten until some of them turn feral, in effect actually fostring more crime and criminals - which makes "hard on crime" as a self fulfilling prophecy, and also a leftover mainstay from authoritarian nationalism and fascism...

...because conservatives and liberals are fucking dumb. But still, vote Kamela, you stupid removed.

"oH bUt sHe LiBrUl n NoT dIveStInG fRoM IsReAl, ThErEFoRe mAkE oUiE sAd" I know!!! I do not care, because it is a dumb argument for stupid people who huff their own farts. Trump would give Netenyahu the go ahead on complete and total genocide in Gaza, and you know it. Gtfo here AND VOTE KAMELA, YOU STUPID removed!!!

I'm sorry, yankies, but this election cycle is just the worst in recent memory. It's so dumb and frustrating.
