The US invaded and occupied 2 countries on the pretext of terrorism and “weapons of mass destruction”.
Russia is seen as an invading force for attempting to protect Russian population in a country that borders its own.
If you’d asked me in 2012 if I supported dissolving NATO, I’d have called you crazy.
Ask me now…
I have records that are 30-50 years old. If maintained well, they sound great.
I still use streaming for the car and whatnot, but for home, I love vinyl. Records are beautiful and the act of playing one is almost a ritual.
They could, but they won't.
Finland has a history of fascism.
Many countries worried about declining populations could just.. allow more immigrants. But most of them won't, at least not voluntarily.
Born in the Middle East, my dad was brown. I look like him but got my anglo mom’s white skin. We fled during the war and came to the USA.
A liberal friend called me “white passing”. I wish someone would have told the kids in school that they can’t call me rag head, camel jockey, sand n***er because I’m white passing see?
This could be a good thing. The monopoly Microsoft and the x86 architecture have had on computing has hampered new development for decades.
China is experimenting with different architectures and open source OS’s. It’ll be very interesting to see where this leads.
The vast majority of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border.
It's bloody cold up there.

Also, Canada has become something of a US vassal state. As much as the general population may complain about Americans (and they do) their politics has become a fun house mirror image of the US. They're neo-liberaling just as hard, if not harder than us. The only real difference is, some guy managed to get universal health care passed in the 50s, or they'd frankly be much worse off than they are now.
The US is going to experience massive brain drain in the next few years.
Welcome to being a 3rd world country y’all.
