Cowardice alone will not save you. There will always be further demands to erode your freedoms and your morals and ethics. Find where your line is now or they will continue to chip away at who you are and what you care about until you fit the mold they want you to.

Yes, that's exactly the point. There is always the potential for consequences, no matter how small.

Freedom of expression is not freedom from consequences. Too many people seem to think that is the case. Sure, the government shouldn't be able to retaliate, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to just go along with what was said.

I am guessing that you treat people differently if they say something you find offensive.

If your Spanish is good and you can get a job teaching, Uruguay may be a good option.

Also, if you just need to try and move to a safer place within the US, feel free to DM me.

Oh, it does not matter if you are a citizen, they can deport you - https://ktla.com/news/local-news/ice-has-deported-dozens-of-u-s-citizens-report-says/

Even though it's actually not possible to deport citizens, so it's just kidnapping and trafficking them. And that story above is about known incidents from 2015-2020. God only knows how bad it is now. But do not think you are safe if you are a US citizen. You are not.

Chilis, sand, bleach, a spoon

Correct. Yeah, if you have a newer car with GPS, it will likely also have built in communications to the car company.

There are benefits to older, "dumber" cars. Besides enjoying knobs and buttons 😁

Your car's GPS is also tracking your movements. If you have a newer car then your phone is only part of the problem.

Everyone who is forced to go back should probably spend a bit of time on this site - https://specificsuggestions.com/share/EN/881.html

Slow things down, make it hurt for them. Not enough to get fired, but if everyone does it, it will affect the bottom line.

Everyone had a least 9 years to figure out who Trump is. I'd be more lenient if it was a matter of months. But it was almost a decade since he first ran.

I know there are a lot of factors working against people (capitalism, propaganda, groupthink) but after all that time, I think they should own their decision.

So yes, I blame them. The man talked about injecting bleach for chist's sakes. And that was all over the news while many people were home and could pay attention if they wanted to.

If you truly consider yourself a patriot, you will do what you can to help the people who will actually be in danger during this administration. Find orgs near you that help the marginalized and underrepresented. Volunteer. Educate others. Do whatever you are able to.

This is not the time to retreat. This is a time for action.

And he's actually been trying again recently as the auction gets closer. But people aren't really following him to his new Twitter account

Congress has barely been able to pass critical funding bills. Do you really think they're functional enough to pass highly technical and involved legislation for specific agencies?

Remember that even if you cover your face, they're probably monitoring for your gait. Put a small rock in your shoe to change that...

It sounds like you haven't seen any healthy ethnically non-monogamous relationships. That's a shame. As a part of one, I've seen several others as well. It can work, if it's done for the right reasons and if all partners respect each other.

We are all collectively living in a body horror movie.

This feels like an article I can't share with anyone. The implications are just too horrifying.

But the fun thing is that all solar currently has a carbon cost associated with it. So as we're trying to work our way out of this we're also continuing to increase the carbon load. It's a vicious cycle.

Sorry to hear you have a neurotransmitter deficiency. I hope you're able to get some help for the symptoms.

It doesn't seem like religion has made you very happy. Or very nice. I get that your username includes angry, and you seem to take that very seriously.

It also seems like you're not very different from the people you claim are co-opting religion. You are cherry-picking the parts of Christianity that work well for you, while ignoring or downplaying the rest.

I know you're not going to change your mind, but this approach certainly isn't doing much to try and convert anyone.

But the Bible is very inconsistent on its messages, which is exactly why it can be used in ways you don't agree with. Christianity in particular has often been used by those in power to keep their power and subjugate others. It's certainly not the only religion that has done it, but it is one of the most prominent.

You believe what you want to, but when Christofascists are able to use the same book to push their regressive, violent policies, then maybe you should take a look at why that is.
