  • What you were hoping for was no change in your life. You gave a scenario and a solution was provided to you. You're taking no responsibility, and want no change in convenience. How can you expect the ignorant to move off of WhatsApp if even the informed won't do it?

    I did the method suggested above and the vast majority of my contacts eventually moved to Signal, those that didn't switched to old fashioned SMS to contact me. You are not missing out by not being a part of one specific messaging app, there are many out there.

  • I think you're forgetting the power of consumers. At work you might not be able to replace Photoshop or Microsoft but at home you certainly can. The more people that become familiar with alternative software the more likely professional environments are to adopt it.

    Why would a company want to pay Adobe or Microsoft if their employees are more adept with free alternatives? Especially if those alternatives gain feature parity with the paid services while the paid services lock parts behind paywalls and subscriptions.

    Don't let perfect get in the way of good!

  • Not totalitarian you say?

    My experience in Azerbaijan also included tales of when they were children passing curds to starving prisoners through chain fences in Kazakh gulags. The Soviet Union did more harm than good to the leftist movement and is used as the scary example every single time someone begins to think twice about the capitalist system they live under. Socialism is forever tainted by the USSR and severely struggles to remove that image. Fuck the USSR.

  • What do you mean provide credible sources? dO yOUr OWn reSeArcH!1!

  • Correction. Want, not need. American universities are not lacking in money.

  • What does this mean?

    Originally I thought you meant 2 million out of 15 million people but Turkey's population is 86 million

  • Germany's military industry was also trash at the time. Buying time for Britain's defence also bought time for Germany's offence.

    If France, Britain, etc did something sooner rather than later a lot of bloodshed would have been avoided.

    The World At War is an incredible documentary that covers it quite well.

    "Since the French spurned any notion of taking the offensive, the Maginot Line ironically protected Germany better than it protected France." Narrator, 8:10

    "A few French divisions advanced 5 miles. But they didn't even try to penetrate the Siegfried Line, at that time still unfinished. And while Poland fought on, there were no German tanks at all on the Western Front." Narrator, 12:40

    "If ze French Army would have attacked in beginning of September wiz zere very strong superiority in division in armoured cars well act all armoured cars in ze Western Front at zat time. In artillery, in air force, we ze German forces in the so called Western Front could stand no more than 1 or 2 weeks." General Siegfried Westphal, Staff Officer Western Front, 14:05

  • Monetise or propagandise?

    Both. It's probably both.

  • What? Where did I say that?

    I'm saying that instead of the entire population having to change every single clock backwards and forwards every year. So that's children, the sick, retired people, students, workers, unemployed, aristocrats, the fucking lot, everyone. That's every computer, every clock, every embedded system.

    Instead of that, jobs just say come in at 7 - 3 for half the year and 8 - 4 for the other half. Is that really such a difficult concept for them to adopt?

  • So have a summer schedule and a winter schedule with the bossman.

    Why does some people's employment issues have to be every person's problem?

  • The good news, if you can call it good news, is that Trump and co are so evil, and incompetent, that it's waking people up to the awful system they live under.

    Harris and The Democrats would've been able to continue with business as usual and nothing would change. At least now there's some hope of a left surge in the wake of all this right wing hatred, pain, and suffering
