I give my man compliments all the time. He calls me silly and pretends he doesn't care, but I think it is working. Have been running a semi-non stop compliment campaign since Covid where I tell him how beautiful his hair is in the hopes he will cut it less. It's been a good while since he last came home looking like a sheep after shearing. Summer is approaching, though, so I'm bracing myself for him getting the idea to visit the barber and have him mutilate those beautiful locks of his. It should be crime, honestly.
I didn't say I would never switch to Linux, just not right now. As for my company, switching to Linux or another operating system + changing emails and other subscription services isn't something you just do over a weekend. That stuff takes time.
I have made that fast and easy changes by now because they cost me nothing and with some of the bigger changes, it takes some more thorough conversations and some research before decisions can be made. I'm not like trump. I don't snap my fingers and make spur of the moment changes without considering the longterm effects. Especially not when it comes to my livelihood.
My best friend is visiting Denmark currently to hang out with me for a week and she wanted mcd last night so we drove there and have never seen our mcd this empty before. We were literally the only ones there. I'm so proud of my fellow Danes.
For me, I'm mostly focused on replacing digital services as I believe they are way more important than groceries, but I shop for the star too and avoid american products more actively anyways. I dunno how big of an effect it will have in that regard, but with the tech stuff, I think that is where we can hit them the hardest and protect ourselves the most, so that is where I put in an effort. Went back to buying dvds and blurays and cut off all streaming services except for filmstriben, but that doesn't count. I also left Meta and reddit and have deleted my youtube app and cut significantly down on my youtube "spending" if you can call it that. It feels great.
The next step will be to change my personal email and that is going to be a bigger undertaking that I don't look forward to. Urgh. Eventually I'll have to look into Linux too or something like that despite being a tech illiterate idiot.
We had the first discussion in my company yesterday about how our company is tied up in American tech and what we should do about it, if anything in the near future. A similar discussion has begun about the entire Danish digital system which is also mired in American tech. What do we do about that? It'll be a very long and very slow transition and I don't even know if the alternatives for that beast of a system exists yet.
All I can say is that I'm kind of excited about the future. Worried too. Very. But excited nonetheless. I'm a pessimistic optimist.
I would but deftones in horny tbh. Especially on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Everyone was horny on that soundtrack.
I'm Danish.
Denmark = the flawed boyfriend who knows he's been letting her down and is trying to fix it.
Greenland = the pretty girl who is tired of her boyfriend's behavior, but wants to make it work because he is trying to improve.
America = the nice guy incel who who used to be Denmark's best friend and thinks he has a chance with the girl.
America doesn't understand that Greenland isn't interested. America doesn't understand that Greenland isn't her boyfriend's property. America doesn't understand that Greenland is her own woman with her own hopes and dreams. She's nothing more than a pretty girl he wants to boost his ego. She keeps telling him that she's trying to work it out with her boyfriend and even if they decide to break up she still doesn't want to be with America.
America = that's just your boyfriend talking. I know you want me.
Proceeds to harrass and stalk her wherever she goes with unwanted advances and ignores her rejections. Makes alphamale threats toward Denmark who is just standing there like "please respect my girlfriend's boundaries."
Tune in next time when we find out if America decides to cross over from stalking and threats to rape and murder or if he finally accepts the rejection.
This meme was made by a "know it all".
I find it funny how all these tech guys all have the same soulless dead eyed stare. To the point where an AI generated portrait looks more human than them.
Honestly, and I may be wrong, I think Thiel is the one who owns everybody. Musk is nothing more than the court jester and he is too narcissistic and stupid to realize how he's as much of a puppet as trump is. Maybe even more so. Thiel is really scary because he's actually smart enough to know how to play the game and keep a semi low profile. I think he's happy Musk steals the show.
It may be a conspiracy and I want to wait and see before I commit to it, but there has been some talk about how Thiel's end goal is to destroy old civilization and create techno states where people like him are the overlords who have complete control and freedom to do as they please without any legislations and restrictions getting in their way. He has been talking about this since 2009, maybe even further back, of how he wants his own techno state that is separate from the laws of the rest of the world.
It sounds so fucking insane to me that I haven't really talked to anyone about it in case I'm just falling for some crazy conspiracy shit, but looking at what they have been doing since trump got into office, it certainly looks like they are in the process of actively and knowingly dismantling and destroying America. Musk said as much: that they were going to tear down and rebuild the nation. But fuck it if I know what the true end goal is. It might as well be a bunch of rich boys who have collectively lost their minds and think they are living in a cool action movie and are too stupid to understand what they are doing.
Dude, I have heard that terrorists breathe. Do you breathe? You may want to check yourself, buddy!
I'm just really surprised by some of the people I have heard say these things about Signal because one is a family member who works in politics and is otherwise really smart and with it. I think the next time we see one another I want to ask him about it because I'm really curious about what he thinks and why he thinks that way. My own experience with Signal has been wonderful. I have only had one chat request from either a scammer or a bot and that's nothing compared to the weird shit I would experience on Facebook, youtube and reddit sometimes. Facebook especially was weird at one point. I would suddenly have people on my friends list I didn't know at all and whom I had no memory of adding. Same with subscriptions to random channels on youtube and constant chat requests from bots on reddit. By that measure, I think Signal is pretty solid in comparison.
The way the media portrays this current goof almost makes it sound like Signal is a dangerous app to use, when it's literally the actions of one asshole who went through all the steps of adding the wrong person. There is no way you're gonna do that by mistake. I downloaded the app so I could keep in contact with my best friend when I left facebook. We live in vastly different countries and don't have each other's phone numbers so it was a bit of an awkward dance back and forth immediately after we downloaded the app and tried to figure out how the fuck you add each other.
If more noobs like me used the app and understood the basics of what it is, they too would realize a few things about this "accident".
US politics is a fucking comedy. My colleague pulled up the picture of Trump standing with that goofy tariff board where trump is reading all the countries and how many percentages they would be tariffed. My colleague was absolutely cackling at the picture and kept saying "the supposedly richest country in the world and they announce this shit that will affect all of us on a piece of fucking cardboard????!!" π€£ππ€£ππ€£π
