Not an expert, but i think in OCD it’s more of a compulsive action. Kinda like “It has to be this way or something bad happens”.

In my flavour of “autism light edition” (autistic features diagnosis in the 90s) it is more about absolutely hating the way pills feel & taste, so i have to find ways to trick my brain into giving me access rights to the swallow function. Combining it with food usually works too.

Damn, i completely forgot about Pikachu. Had to revive him.

What? Are you not interested in the most generic TV with the most basic feature set legally possible, for the measly price of a Ferrari? Heresy!

Fascist doesn’t care about human rights. In other news: Water turns out to be wet. More news at seven.

Nice fantasy you have there

So… everything outside of Europe is “rural” now?

It’s called refugee convention and european convention on human rights. Also, you’re conflating immigration with asylum, which, funnily enough, is also a common tactic amongst fascists. And once again you use the Nazi dogwhistle of “importing immigrants”, which simply does not happen.

Might be worth considering wicker baskets. Ideally from someone who produces them locally. They might also be able to fix them, so they hold up a bit longer. Or make it yourself. Can be a fun project.

That “infinite migrant” thing is a far-right propaganda talking point. Nice job falling for it…

Hope the next gouvernement prosecute the one that took thoses decisions that never had the best interest of their citizen

Funnily enough, that’s also a common talking point amongst outright Nazis. Kinda weird how a certain group of people dreams of punishing elected leaders for doing what they were elected to do. Like upholding the law.

Fun fact: Playstation uses a BSD fork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software

Still waiting for all those badass gun owners being heroic… any moment now… just you see…

I had to look up what that word means in German. It’s Raute and that can also be this thing: #

Yes, i understand the US is big. But let’s take a look where most of the American people actually are, shall we?

Idk about you, but i see no problem here. You have a massive population center in the east, and one in the west. With some spread across the eastern half. You have internet, you have instant communication. You don’t need the entire country. You only need a critical mass of people shutting down the most important population centres. And yes, there is precedence for that in the history of other countries. Look at Russia. The most densely populated areas happen to be on the European continent. That’s the area that was always the most critical when it came to uprisings. Sure, it didn’t work out for them, but hey, you’re not Russians. So there is a chance.

harsher work-life balance by every metric, and (though I could be wrong here) a generally pro-union culture whereas our unions have been demonized to Hell and back (pun intended) for at least the previous 150 years

That, i can agree with. I don’t see the size as a problem, it’s rather the propaganda that is affecting all sides involved. The Maga cult is obvious. But the opposing sides are also being actively discouraged. Your people have a lot more power in their hands than they seem to know. Pretty much the same story as in every other country.

What makes you think that was any different in 19th / early 20th century Europe?
