Im not american maybe someone can explain:
The president just chooses whoever he wants for specific roles in the administration? Thats a News Host?
Can he also just pick a UPS driver too?
This is wild. Or is this dude someone really important, the article only said he was in military vet and fox news host?
I'd go insane if my president would add our news hosts into such a position LOL. This is comedy. Is this real? Am I stupid? Can someone explain what is going on to someone who isn't from US?
Nüsse haben allgemein sehr gute Stats und sind meiner Meinung nach vollkommen OP
Can we finally agree on most people denying climate change and go full on ending project humanity and earth til 2100?
I cant stand climate change denyers. It is so hard to speak against such a wild crowd and well the only good thing is that trump is gonna fck his voters soon and I can laugh.
I dont have children and yet I limit my climate abusement to as low as possible and then you have these Leaders.
Come on just blast everything we have and end it soon, best for all
Eat burgers, shoot guns, sit in a local bar and talk with pro maga, drive a pick up truck, go walmart
The joke is they are going to get rid of the non whites that voted for Trump first to atleast get a few videos for the press and please the basic Trump voters.
The reason is because it will not be easy to find the illegals so they gotta get the easy targets first.
My country had that shi.t 90 years ago and 50% of americans voted for this mess my country went through in the 1930s. Don't feel sorry for the legal immigrants who voted on this and also get deported. Remember you aren't white.
They should really attache the blue states to Canada and just call it a day. Why even want to be "united" with that cra.p? If I were american and had money I'd def leave the next four years cause this is going to get messy really fast.
Reminds me of the 8 year old me when I told my mom in advance to not allow a sleep over of her best friends son because he wasn't allowed to play golden eye on the n64 and I wanted to play that.
The difference is Trump didn't organize someone to tell Elon for him now he is stuck with that friend til he gets picked up again. Which will never happen Lol.
Sounds like my country about 90 years ago.
Hey cool my country made it in the news again :-) Not our best moment but it's a moment
I have one question about the abortion topic.
Why is it such a HUGE topic for republicans? Why not let the individual human choose if he/she wants an abortion?
This is so confusing for me I don't understand why it is even a topic, like... it's not my body and just let people do what they want to.
They should talk about how to have safer sex and pills in earlier grades and just keep the option open.
It's not only that... what if you get raped and just want an abortion? Is that also included?
I am not american, maybe someone can tell me if rape is not included and if you are raped you can still abort though? This whole topic seems off for 2024, this sounds like a 1800s topic.
Sometimes I think america is so advanced and then I read the news and it's always about pro guns and banning abortions...

Good news but kind of bad that they say this publicly.
The pro of showing support for reproductive rights, building trust and protecting user privacy is great for publicity but I am afraid the downsides will eventually lead to legal consquences, making the whole thing seen even more political than it already is and that it might have a huge impact on their business.
The last thing might sound stupid, but it's a business. And if you have crazy woman who will not use this because they support the ban on abortions the sells will go down in for example republican states making the company MORE VULNERABLE to changing how they think about sharing data to authorities or not.
And yes america has woman who totally want the government to be in control of their bodies LOL. And yes america has many people who can't even figure out the name of bordering states. States, not countries. Ask 10 americans and only 5 will know that Canada is directly above (North) of america and Mexico South.
You have Burger King removing the 1/3 pounder Burger because people thought it's less than a 1/4 pounder Burger cause 4 is higher than 3 making Burger King have less sells on the 1/3 Pounder than the 1/4 LOL.
Sometimes not talking about specific topics is "more" than even speaking about it. Just don't share data and say nothing, they won't ask. Most maga's trumpers won't ask if you don't give them a foundation to poop on.
The hilarious thing though is that most abortions are done in California, but only because of abortion tourism (example from Texas). A typicall trumper will now claim this is wrong and say democrats love abortions... This is so sad.
War gerade in einer Bäckerei gesessen und habe 2 Stunden lang nichts gemacht außer Loide beobachtet.
Am Mittwoch fängt mein nächster "Nachtblock" an mit 5 Nachtschichten. Bin eigentlich ganz froh, weiß gar nicht was ich machen soll. Hatte jetzt 8 Tage frei und Diablo, Overwatch, Apex wird tatsächlich irgendwann einmal langweilig und alleine bouldern ist schon langweilig. War tatsächlich in der Therme und gefühlt der einzige ca. 30 Jahre alt, alle anderen bestimmt Ü60.
Früher war es kein Problem Leute in meinem Alter zu finden die am Morgen nichts zutun haben, aber nun arbeitet jeder 9 - 4 und haben keine Zeit mehr außer an Wochenenden... so viel zum Thema Work-Life-Balance nur weil man 7 Stunden arbeitet statt 8. Jetzt arbeitet halt keiner mehr Schichtdienst.
Vielleicht kenne ich es auch nicht anders und liege falsch, aber selbst wenn ich keine Nachtschichten hätte würde ich definitiv Schichtdienst bevorzugen. Da konnte man wenigstens vorm Spätdienst was machen oder nach dem Frühdienst um 14 Uhr den Tag genießen.
Ich mag den Habeck, aber nicht als Kanzler.
Wir brauchen einen modifizierten Trump mit Hirn und Verstand, einen der die Klimakrise tatsächlich versteht aber zeitgleich auf Augenhöhe mit Putin, Xi und (leider) Trump ist.
Wir brauchen wieder eine Frau die da oben mitmischt. Ich fand nicht alles gut an Merkel, aber so eine brauchen wir.
Was wir nicht brauchen sind Scholz, Merz, Habeck, usw. und auch keine Weidel und Wagenknecht. Ich sehe keinen, bis auf tatsächlich Wagenknecht oder Weidel, mit Trump reden. Die beiden Damen haben aber leider einen Knall und sind unwählbar.
Stell dir vor du hast Trump "Drill baby Drill" und Habeck an einem Tisch mit Putin. Wtf... ich gehe gerne mit Habeck mal Kaffee trinken - er ist ja nett.
Wir erleben alle - ob wir wollen oder nicht - einen massiven Rechts ruck. Schuld daran sind nicht die Bürger, sondern die aktuelle Regierende. Genauso dämlich eigentlich wie in den USA momentan, mit dem Unterschied dass in den USA alles auf Papier steht und offen erzählt wird und die trotzdem Trump wählen. Weil überwiegend die Mehrheit in den USA tatsächlich sexisten und rassisten sind und sich dazu bekennen. Ist halt einfach so.
Thats very loud.
I also don't like the cover it is green and has undead drinking looks creepy. What are you on?
I had like 40 albums.
Each about 4 GB but I only have 5 GB on one drive for free.
So I uploaded an album then downloaded it to my computer and then I deleted the album on one drive after I had it on my pc downloaded. I deleted the album on one drive to free up space to upload my next album. And so on...
So now I have all albums on my pc but didn't notice I wasn't only deleting the albums on one drive, also on my phone lol.
I searched for life advice in 30s on youtube and all the videos recommended to me after I watched two videos were about "life changing experience" to "Things to do before turning 30" Videos and still recommended to me.
I think it is because people search for the current issue and suddenly you get tons and tons of relevant videos recommended and they don't go away.
It works the other way to though, if you suddenly start watching fitness videos suddenly all you do is watch fitness videos and believe me from there it ain't far to the protein, carb etc. videos and then it starts mixing up your previous searches "depression" with "fitness" and you landed by the wonderful Tate.
Which is why my video feed is screwed up in an interesting way and my brain doesn't know if it is fine or not. I have Starcraft Videos popping up next to Asmongold, ThatWasEpic, MarkManson and mixed in with random nonames how they got no friends and struggle in life and the next video is someone who tells me to go to the gym at 5 in the morning because thats what machines do.
I think these feeds can make people feel certain ways and if you are feeling bad you are most likely gonna watch something that is about feeling depressed.
I totally understand wanting to escape, but psychedelics are kind of like a risky shortcut. The experiences they bring can actually be reached naturally, like through meditation or even lucid dreaming. With lucid dreaming, you can explore your subconscious and control your dreams—no substances needed. And if you’re curious, melatonin can help with lucid dreaming too. It regulates your sleep cycle and can enhance REM sleep, which is where vivid dreams happen. When you take it in the right amount, it can help you become more aware of your dreams, making it easier to control them. So instead of turning to psychedelics, which can mess with your brain, why not dive into things like meditation or lucid dreaming? They offer the same kind of mind-expanding experiences, but they’re safer and something you can actually train yourself to do.
Psychedelics are like throwing fireworks around your brain. It's a shortcut but keep in mind the people who write it is life changing experience the same amount of people can't write it because it was life ending. Maybe if you want the shortcut do it with supervisor.
I wouldn't recommend because it is a shortcut. You have to understand and feel though.
Go to Thailand (Koh Phangan for example) and speak with the teenagers and young adults who shroom the first time. They really can't see the big picture. Nobody can see the big picture because there is no bigger picture. We are just recieving a ton of input by hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling and creating images. It is not more and not less. Some people believe in a god or some other things to hold on to something during this ride but in the end it is all an illusion that will end somewhere from birth to death and no one knows when and after that it is over. No god, no respawn, no nothing, just like the state of prebirth. It is what it is. I am not judging if it is good or bad to believe but it gives motivation. I believe too, I believe that my energy will be released after death and I will be part of the universe again. I won't feel, I won't hear, I won't see, I won't smell and I won't taste - just like prebirth. But I am here. I say believe, because I do not know and I can't know.
Hm weird, I left religion and now I am labeled as "Konfessionslos". Dont pay anything to a church or anything that has to do with this fairytale story.
In my country we have "Konfessionslos" -> non-denominational.
This reminds me of when I was in the second grade and my friend and I had to make soccer teams and pick our teammates one by one and both of us had 0 idea who to put in our team
