Extremely.

He could start by excommunicating prominent far-right Catholic figureheads like Matt Walsh and JD Vance (I think???).

Ever since the pope got ignored at the Peace of Westphalia over 400 years ago, the position has lost quite a bit of its power, especially political power. Most Catholics don’t listen to the pope, why would everyone else listen to him?

I know a minor that just scrunched her face to beat the Youtube age limit thing. It’s not rocket science, and I think these companies know that.

The man is a cunt.

Wait, this was still a thing? What in the fuck? Why?

They typically are. If there were more politicians with spines, we wouldn’t be in any of these situations, and yes, I do mean any of them. And as we all know, there’s a LOT.

Right now, I’m considering Ireland and New Zealand most seriously. I’d like to live in the EU, but with Chat Control and whatnot, it seems like a privacy nightmare. There’s also the legitimate threat that Russia poses.

The UK seems to have gone down the same route as the US, so there wouldn’t be much point in going there. It’d be like a Jewish refugee going from Austria to France. The whole age verifying for access for half the websites on the internet thing is also rather scary, and I want nothing to do with it.

English is unfortunately the only language that I’m legitimately fluent in (I do speak a bit of German, but certainly not enough to survive with), and I would prefer to not be the American that hasn’t learned the language of the country he chose to move to, especially if the people living there would be offended or prejudiced against me. That rules out most of Asia, especially because I’m white, so I sure as hell wouldn’t fit in.

Australia has some of the problems that the UK has, but to a lesser extent. I have heard about somewhat widespread transphobia, which is something I’d prefer not to be around, even though I’m not trans. I’m also not noticeably queer, so I could likely survive in a homophobic country, but I certainly wouldn’t like to live in a place that hates most of the people I care about. I’ve also heard a bit about the government being quite corrupt, which I also don’t like. Still, Australia is certainly not the worst option.

Ireland was my main choice for a while. Most people speak English, they’re not too bigoted, and they have a history of being oppressed, which I’d assume (well, hope) makes the population a bit more accepting of differences. Unfortunately, Ireland is part of the EU, which is a bit unfortunate. Still, not the worst choice.

Right now, New Zealand appears to be the best option for me. I haven’t done much research, so it might have big problems as well. From what I’ve heard, it seems nice enough, shame there’s not a ton of space on the island.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe that any of these places will be safe for long. I’m just hoping that I’ll be able to survive a couple of decades. Setting my sights pretty high, huh? Sorry this is so fucking long, I took my meds this morning.

Everyday, it seems like fewer and fewer countries are safe. I already knew that China was unsafe, I didn’t know all the details, but this is pretty bad. Where can a person go where their rights won’t be violated by the government, either their own or the governments of others? Especially for queer people and ethnic minorities, it seems like the list is maybe a literal handful.

I’d like if there were a legitimate competitor for Youtube. The way things have been, the only place to make videos as a job is Youtube. I suppose that there’s other platforms that people can branch out to, I remember one that was focused on more scientific creators for example, but Youtube seems to be the only viable way for people to actually see the videos that others make. It’s a shame.

Interesting. I’d never heard of it. Good to know.

Don’t use Youtube if you’re going to be giving them a cent. Ublock Origin on PC works well enough, Newpipe is good for Android devices. Newpipe has every single feature that I ever had to see a Youtube premium ad for, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest.

Lack of self-control or empathy, paired with a fucked up mind. Same as serial killers, I’d guess.

So, Breaking Bad wasn’t exaggerating too much then?

96% of crimes in Mexico go unsolved? Cartels are making hundreds of thousands of people go missing? These sound like numbers that Trump would pull out of his ass, how the actual fuck is the Mexican government this worthless?

Yeah, you shouldn’t have had them in the first place. Because it’s an llm.

Oh no, they built a free bridge! The horror! This is monstrous, China is going to ban maple syrup and kindness!

They probably wish that the days of serfdom would come back.

Ask some trans people about this if you know any. If you don’t, ask 196, there’s plenty there.

The options have been rather poor, let’s all be honest here. This would work if we were talking about say, AOC. Newsom, however, is bad. Very bad.
