Legends say that the civilization ended during the cold war after the cuban missile crisis went hot, what you are experiencing is merely a simulation.
Becoming so rich that greeds corrupts me and becoming the villian that I always despised.
Or die.
Probably the latter tho… 😓
Statistically people with depression like me is at a higher risk of suicide so yea maybe I’d be dead. Or since I’m in the US, die due to political persecution. Basically just boils down to “die”.
Couldn’t be more infuriating than apple’s forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.
??
You mean like a VOIP number like Google Voice? Then no, your call get dropped when you move out of wifi range.
VoLTE doesnt count against your data plan, you dont even need a data plan to use VoLTE. In fact, most carriers require VoLTE these days so when you first insert the sim card, your carrier has sent a configuration profile instructing your phone to turn it on. You can turn the data to “off” but it still leave it on for VoLTE calls only.
Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.
Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.
Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an “application” but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of… as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I’d be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.
Public forums do not have privacy
Data is definitely usable when you make a VoLTE call. But if you turn data off before the call happens, the data icon on the top quick setting panel where you pull down on the notifications indicates that data is “on”, and attempting to turn it “off” would show a message saying “Unable to turn off data while Advanced Calling is on” Advanced Calling which I assume means VoLTE. So basically its this state where its on, but only for the purposes of VoLTE. If you have data set to on before the call happens, you can look up info while, for example, you talk to a customer service representative.
When data is off, it might not actually be off.
For example, on some android phones, the data connection shows as on when you are on a call, even tho apps cannot access the internet.
So I’m assuming the OS just built a workaround that turns data on only for calling, since if data is allowed to be completely off, people are gonna be complaining that their “Phone isn’t working” as most carriers require VoLTE these days.
Same thing with location. Even if you turn location off, it is automatically turned on if you call emergency numbers.
The military currently leans conservative, but not nessesary maga-conservative.
If the military was maga-conservative, they would just refuse to recognize the 2020 election and illegally keep trump in office.
A future restructuring of the military might actually make it maga-conservative.
Great, so a trump-appointed high ranking general gets to take over and establish a military rule? (You know he’s gonna be firing generals and the senate will allow him to install a maga general.)
Bruh, if Covid happened under this 2025 trump administration, I might actually become vaccine skeptical, at least for the hypothetical covid vaccine in this scenario.
Would trust a trump-vaccine? Or more like a RFK Jr. -vaccine?
Oh fuck so my depression could be considered a pre existing condition then. Im currently on my parents insurance plan since I’m still a dependent, but when I eventually have to get my own insurance, thats a pre existing condition according to the prospective new insurer?
Fuck. Im kinda pre-diebetic since my depression fucked with my will to live, soon I might be diabetic and without ACA protection I’m kinda fucked when insurance eventually decide to not insure diabetic people.
My parents have some investments, but even if I inherit some of it, not sure if that would cover expensive big pharma bills.
I’mma go cry in a corner. (actually im too numb from the horrors on tuesday, too sad to even cry 😥)
I genuenly don’t know how ACA works. Most people get insurance through their employer, is that affected by ACA? Not sure of the exact search terms to find the answer for it.
My parents contantly regurgitates propaganda from wechat about how democrats in NYC are letting homess people and migrants ruin everything.
We dont even live in NYC.
I told her to vote Harris and she did (she didn’t even know how to fill out a ballot I had to tell her how to) but then later she said “maybe we shouldn’t vote for democrats” because of the homeless shelters built near Chinese populations in NYC (which is a fair grivence, but I dont see how republicans are gonna solve it better). Abosolutely no independent thought and no critical thinking just parroting whatever the last person said.
She doesn’t understand that the “homeless” or “migrants” are just dogwhistles referring to people like us who maga republicans deem inferior.
Hopefully TOR + ProtonVPN is good enough.
I mean my alternative is to shut up and live like I’m in China. Fuck that. I’ll just have to pray none of the nodes are compromised and ProtonVPN isn’t betraying me. I’m feeling a bit suicidal anyways. Fuck trump, Fuck fasicm
They can’t arrest us all.
Edit: Oh forgot to mention that they also have to obtain the Exit Node IP from my Anarchist Instance Owner first before they try to trace the connection.
“Your life is worth it, don’t give up!”
Right as I think about my own suicide plans.
I feel like a hypocrite.
I hate this reality, but remember that in 1950, Black Americans were literally being lynched. I don’t think a trump presidency is worse than that or even nearly as bad, at least not this soon. If dems dont win the midterms and get a 2028 trifecta we might have a problem.
Remember, the US has federalism. Power is shared between the states and the federal government. The federal government dont have the manpower to literally put people in concentration camps, not yet.
If you live in a red state or red city, move, now. Move to a Blue State and Blue City.
Federalism is our last defence against fascism. Democracy might be dying, but it aint dead yet. The Climate however, thats another story :(
Only thing an average person can do is try to get people to vote, midterms, presidential, local. Every election Primary or General. Low turnout in Primary could lead to disasterous candidates.
My state’s senator-elect is a republican, pretty sure he doesnt care.
