  • Sorry, bullshit.

    It’s always “we’re the beat, we’re the best at X” whereas the reality is that you have rampant poverty, institutionalized racism (hello US police forces!), shit and unaffordable healthcare with (apparently) doctors who put their religion over their Hippocratic oath, unaffordable education which doesn’t get you a good job anymore anyways, you don’t work to live, you live to work, you have almost no vacation days whatsoever, you have no free days agter when your baby is born,you can’t do anything anymore without a car, you have no freedoms, but they convinced you that parading around military style weapons is freedom somehow. You teach little children at school that sex is wrong, but it’s good to knoe what to do when the next mass murderer visits your school again. Your police is racist, uneducated, inept, and corrupt… I could go on, but you get the idea.

    Sorry, America sucks, to paraphrase someone else in this thread: it’s a third world country wearing the mask of a first world country.


  • America is like a third world country in a first world mask.

    That’s exactly how I’ve considered it since like 30 years ago.

    Until a few years ago, I’ve lived in Mexico for 2 decades and I’ve always felt more afraid for my safety while in the US visiting, than in Mexico, even though there we had (and still have) a drug war. There are less guns in the street there and as long as you stay out of drugs I’d claim you’re safer there than in the US.

    I’ve been in many poor places in Mexico but never have I seen so much homelessness and neglect as I’ve seen in the US.

    Also access to medical healthcare is better there. Almost all doctors there studied in the US, they got loads of free or cheap medications and consults. It’s always “funny” to see the same people wanting a border wall going to Mexico for cheap healthcare.

    Don’t get me wrong,Mexico is far from perfect (like every country) but given the choice: Mexico or USA, I’ll choose Mexico every time.

    With the rampant corruption there as well, I consider the US more a third world country than I do Mexico. Viva Mexico!





  • And yet another one with a dumb hypothetical. This is just a different version of the "hero with a gun"tripe that damn near never happens. Rape doesn’t work like that, it’s not like a big burly guy comes at a girl shouting “Imma rape you!” and the girl goes “oh well then let me get my gun out of my purse!”. Watch less TV.

    Rape happens between spouses, it happens between people that know eachother, it happens when you don’t have your purse gun by your side.

    You know what does happens? Guns being used every day hundreds of times.to murder innocent men, women, and children. They’re used at school shooting, which are now so normal.in US society that you teach children what to do if there is an “active shooter”, because of course, this being the US, it has to sound cool. Why at the very least do you call it what it is? A psycho who got where he is due to lack of metal healthcare (and the social care to give it to him) has a gun (because we give guns to psychos, rights man!) and will murder the fuck out of you innocent little children, now hide!

    Why is this seen as normal, and why do the kinds like you always fucking excuse it AND NEVER AMSWER THE REALLY TOUGH QUESTIONS ON HOWNTO ACTUALLY FIX IT?

    And your rights? Fuck your rights, how about that? Those dumb “much rights!” slogans say it all. You are dumb to think that you have more rights than any other country, BECAUSE YOU DON’T. You have less civil rights in america than in Europe. Ooohhh, you are allowed to carry a gun at breakfast, awesome dude! THAT IS NOT A RIGHT, THAT IS INSANITY. In Europe, Canada, fuck even Mexico you’re not allowed to carry guns like crazy because NOBODY WANTS IT. Do you know why? Because we don’t want to be like the US where we have to be afraid everywhere. Do you know what rights we have in Europe though? The right to free healthcare if we get hurt. The right to a fair trial independent on our skin color. The right not to be locked up for minor bullshit like smoking a joint. The right to not having tondear the police murdering you with impunity. The right to make a normal living without being forced into poverty by large companies. You got none of that.

    Shootings barely ever happen in other countries. And I don’t mean first world, well developed countries. I mean pretty much any other country. Hell, Mexico is still in a drug war and I’m still safer here from gun fire than I’d be in the US. Doesn’t that tell you anything? Is your mind so brainwashed by fox news that you can’t think for yourself any more?

    Fuck gun rights, you don’t need them, guns are hurting you and everyone and you’ve been brainwashed into thinking that is a great thing.

    Answer me this: do you understand that there are other countries than the US? I’ve had people from the US not even getting that concept, so just asking to be sure… With that in mind, do you understand that this gun shit DOES NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE BUT INSIDE THE US.? Now use your brain for a second here… Why would that be? Why is it safer to live in other countries, even a country like mexico, in the middle of a drug war, than it is to live in the US?

    Please answer that simple question




  • Over 2500 movies and over 200 series. There is a lot of todo maintenance (adding subtitles, converting some movies that are still in blueray or dvd iso) and in total some 100TB. A lot of it is lower quality, working on improving that

    Edit: it’s a huge amount of work and money and I’m only doing it as a sort of hobby since netix turned to shit. Give me one provider that can show me everything from every country, whenever I want, on whatever devit I want, no gro blocking, no ad bullshit, and I’d happily pay twice, three times the amount I do now. But here we are, and here is my collection because half the shit I have can’t be watched anywhere else. Fuck the enshitification
