In the blue corner Mike Biden and in the red coroner Evander Trump. How is the fist-fight going?

Mscion. Are you packing for Greenland or are you happy were you are? Hope you are doing fine with solid opportunities to be happy. It not always greener on the other side of the wall.

The year ly eggnog season is just around the courner so it's best to be prepared. Hopfully the government s around the world will put laws in place to prevent stockpiling of the ingreedients. We need to have some common sense in place as soon as possible.

Re: Upcoming US Elections

An interview with Donald Trump's niece (that's the daughter of his older brother), a psychologist.
It all makes so much sense when you look at it like that.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/p...ct-mary-trump/

Too Much and Never Enough:
How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.
(direct link to audio file)

"World's most dangerous" is typical US American self-centeredness, giving the Orange Baby too much credit.
I'd have prefered "How My Family Created the World's biggest Bully".

I've been listening to the interviews as audio files (podcast), but the whole thing is apparently also available on video:
The Choice 2020

Thanks. Thats one view of many. I believe that the leader of a country mirroring the values of the nation. Some elected, some with force but still it's only one man in a big machinery.
But since I'm not living in US, China or Russia I can't say if leadership actually change depending on who is top dog. A dangerous man or the nicest guy. As soon as they take office they will be alienated. Figurative speaking. I approve this message. A first step would be to ban all commercials.
Do you want to no more?

Like it or not, the US is the most influential country in the world (although its current leader has been working hard for the past 4 years on diminishing that influence) and electing a dangerous leader makes him the most dangerous man in the world. (I am saying it as a non-USAnian, so you cannot accuse me of US American self-centeredness.)

Look at it this way. Was Hitler dangerous? I'd say certainly. Was he the most dangerous man in the world? I'd say almost certainly. There were other nutters around but WW2 would not have happened without him.

Now imagine the US starting a similar expansion as Germany did 80 years ago. Who could possibly stop them?

I dont think hitler was the most dangerous man inatially. To me he was mostly a product of the country at that time. Niether should he be compared with any leaders today. If we want to look for a new future hitler we should look at countries trying to expand their borders for whatever reason. Their leaders are not the issue but the apparatus around them and the country itself will eventually be in the state allow invations.

The only way to stop this a superior threat from space or a human mega killer event like a virus or climate change that is threaten the existense on earth.

Just look how poorly the humans were responding to this dangoures... but in the humanity existense life time so far pretty average virus. Some excess death unfortunately but most likley other couses for death are lower and will be lower in the near future due to this. Basically no cooperation, stratergy and almost a competition between countries in numbers and gears. Everyone think they did it best.

I wonder if jolla is still working on this refund they promised. Maybe everyone involved in that left the building. That would make sence. I think Im around £50 short. Don't even remember how the refund process went down. Imagine if we would have invested in Apple with the tablet money we would atleast have done a better investment.

What about this neo909. That was also an epic investment. Was that ever a project ot product. Ubuntu edge was also an epic campaign without a product. Nice way to try to boost an OS.

A few month of flaten the curve followed by a few month of cruching the curve and we as a humanity is back on square one. Wasted money, time, lives and freedom. What's next. How about teaming up againt the curve. We haven't learned from the last 100000 years and Bill Gates suddenly is an expert on viruses. The me as well can give my cents.

Wrong. You can have border expansion without fascism and fascism without border expansion. At least initially.

WW2 did not start with a bang. There was at least a decade of gradual small changes running up to it.

The first country the Nazis invaded was not Poland. Or Czechoslovakia. Or Austria. No, the first country they invaded was... Germany. Their own.

The first concentration camps were not labour or extermination camps. They were more like boarding schools.

That's how it starts.

Feel free to qoute but if you do not hack my messages please.

Boder expansion with force or buying land is equally bad. Facsism or any other ism doesn't really matter. The thought of expansion on the expence of others is the issue and sad for many poeple and countries.

Whats your current view of jolla. What did we fund. Is it a force of good or evil

Holiday seasons cancelled this year. No fun allowed!
