Thanks!

Aah, the international money friendship never falters...

I was able to download a list of every video I’ve ever watched since mid-2020

That right there should worry you just as much as the number of videos you watched.

That's dystopian to the max.

Well, my comments holds true: DOGE doesn't exist as a state department, and billonaires don't have any legal power.

What DOGE is is a bunch of goons illegally tasked by the president to illegally gain control of lawful state departments and letting people without proper credential illegally access sensitive data to do who-knows-what without any oversight, and no pushback from the people's elected representatives.

My comment stated what could be legally done. The reality is that the corrupt POTUS and his puppetmasters went full illegal, so it doesn't even apply anymore. In a normal world, Trump and Musk would be cooling off in jail right now charged with high treason. But for some reason, that's not happening...

I could see Trump trying a few sketchy things and getting immediate backlash from congress. I couldn't see him staging a full-blown coup and meeting zero resistance. Could you see that one coming? I couldn't.

It could be a lot worse

I'm not sure how...

 

Will no one rid me of this turbulent billionaire?

I built a bicycle camper trailer 13 years ago, with a full-size bed, kitchen, toilet, shower, water tank, solar, overrun brakes and everything. All my photos were on Photobucket, which pulled a fast one on everybody 8 years ago so I lost them all. But there are still photos of the construction floating around on Pinterest, from people who copied them before Photobucket pulled them:

Amazingly, I managed to keep the weight under 120 lbs. So it wasn't outrageous considering all it could do.

But here's the thing: I went on a 300 mile tour of the Netherlands with it. Guess what happens when you hit the slightest hill with 120 lbs in tow, even with extra-low gears and even in the Netherlands: you wish you had a lightweight tent and a few euros to hit the next campground when the sun goes down. And even on a dead flat, smooth road, the extra drag due to air resistance and tire resistance is very noticeable. And I'm not even talking about hairy windy days: anything about 30 mph wind is friggin' alarming.

I would NEVER ever consider bicycle-touring with any sort of trailer ever again. It would only make sense in a desert with a nice, low-resistance, flat ground like the Bonnevile Salt Flats, but zero facilities for hundreds of miles around to justify towing all that stuff.

In other words, a bicycle camper trailer is a solution that solves a problem that simply doesn't exist. You can have all a camper offers with traditional camping gear without paying a stupid speed penalty and being a danger on the road. And if worse comes to worst, a credit card is only a few grams and it buys you a hotel room with a shower, if camping just isn't feasible.

I'm afraid this fascist lot doesn't give the tiniest shit about protests. At some point, what needs to happen will have to involve violence, meaning the fuzz - and possibly the army - will have to side with the dissenters, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

But yeah, it's a start and that's something.

But in this instance, it's not about knowledge or education: a bunch of pro-something people vote for the guy who's obviously, overtly, loudly anti-the-same-thing, and then when the latter does stupid anti-that-thing, the former turn around and say oh-not-cool!

This is just dumb all around. It doesn't education to not be this dumb, it just takes, well, not being fucking dumb.

Is it just me or does anybody else feel like watching a lot of serious sounding - and unfortunately dangerous - adults behaving like severely mentally challenged children all the time?

And I mean like everywhere. It's like the whole of society is essentially a lot of dimwits, from the White House to the streets of Bumfuck, Nowhere.

I guess Idiocracy really has become the reality now...

Why?

I'm not an anarchist and I want to see those dudes tried and hanged after the American Reich collapses too.

It just brings their BS policy in line with reality. Don't think for a second that they removed their statement to feel free to use AI for military purposes: they're already doing that now.

Dutch speaking part :)

Oh hehe 🙂 Didh't think of that.

 

People from two or three particular countries in the world should recognize this one.

 

I was about to post this in other communities that deal more directly with this, but this needs to be heard by America at large.

If you've ever wanted to watch a genuinely educational, profound, personal and touching video on YouTube, this is the one.

 

This is a very good guide that explains all the possible adjustments on a frame. But I will add two things he didn't mention:

  • Some frames simply don't fit on certain faces. If you can't find any adjustment that works for you, you might have the wrong frames for you.
  • If you overdo it, you'll eventually break the frames. Ask me how I know 🙂
 

We're on the list of people who caused the crash too, along with mentally disabled people, blind people, deaf people, little people, paralyzed people and people with epilepsy. Ain't you glad...

At least we're in good company.

 

Christoffer Lindhe always is always interesting to listen to. I like his personal take on dealing with grief in this video with the benefit of time.
