If you have a doctor that prescribes medicin without you needing it, get a new doctor instead.

This sounds more like someone taking meds for blood pressure and thinking they’re no longer needed because their blood pressure is fine now

Or just allow the phone to rotate 180°

I’m aware lol The thing is that most democratic institutions still hold and there’s opposition that might provoke a change in Congress. It’s not the same situation

Oh feel free to kill Trump if he becomes a dictator like Hitler. Or you know, persecute him before that.

The US has tried assassination of it’s presidents twice already. No matter the lunatic in charge murdering democratically elected leaders is not the way. There are mechanisms to pursue Trump that should be used.

Understandable! However I’d rather have the provider tell me that they were hacked and my data compromised than me being hacked and never finding out because I have no clue to look 😆

I have used KeePass, but Bitwarden is far more convenient when you have different devices

You can kind of think of the US like the EU

Absolutely not. You can make a comparison with other federations like Germany or Switzerland maybe, but the EU is a very different political entity.

Very different vibe between the two; very distinctly different accents, different mannerisms, different customs. They each have stereotypes about the other.

This is true in all European countries as well, no matter how tiny.

I’m not sure why you (seem to) feel that learning about other states is somehow “lesser” than learning about other countries

See, this is what you seem to miss. We learn about other countries. We learn about yours as well, but not on a much deeper scale than where it is, its capitol and its political system. And well, it seems like some in Europe learn about your states as well, which is more than we do for other countries. I couldn’t name more than a couple of ‘states’ in my neighbouring countries and that I have learned as an adult.

I don’t understand why you seem to think that size and population somehow would grant you extra interest. If that was the case India, Russia, Canada and China would all be more interesting than the US and we don’t give those extra attention.

I mean that I don’t have the necessary knowledge to make sure no one can get into my network and server, and having my entire life thus possibly vulnerable is too risky. Heck, I can’t even get Caddy to work properly.

Would love to selfhost. However, I have no trust in my skills to secure my device in the same manner as a provider, and I do not wish my database to be compromised.

Europeans are learning the European countries, Americans are learning the US states.

This is the thing. I had the differences in our education explained to me as in Europe we get shallow knowledge on a broad spectrum while in the US you get deep knowledge on a narrow spectrum. So we learn about others, you learn about you. 😄

And to add to that, of course we learn about our own regions and communes additionally.

Trick question! All of these are made up!

I’m pacifist and anti militaristic so no. But I would join the civil defence if we came under attack.

Interesting tidbit, it was explained to us in the military as a move made because you felt safe with us as the defending wall between you and the eastern aggressor.

Well… Sweden is Swedish until the last Finn falls as the saying goes.

Yeah well. I can tell you if a country is in Africa or not, but I can maybe pin 20% of them with accuracy.

Oh no, I didn’t assume you meant ethnicity, that was just an example and apartheid as well. It’s a better example than the US ‘equal but separate’. I just answered why Swedes are supposed to pay for non-Swedes.

What I wanted to point out is that those who has residence in the country can’t be treated differently before the law. Citizenship or not, the law applies and all it’s benefits and consequences.

On another note, the prison sentence is carried out and then the convict is deported, meaning we rehabilitated someone and then got rid of them, not benefiting from the rehabilitated person.

Hahaha wow, that was an interesting take. Population is what matters? Well, Israel have nukes for example?

The distinction between states is far more important to our day to day lives than anything in Europe is.

You hit the nail on the head there mate.

And what about it? Most know where the US and Russia is because of education, not because they’re big and they can hazard a guess.

Because you talk about size and pointing out on a map as defining for geographic knowledge. Of course Europe is confusing for you if you don’t even know what the continent contains.

Can you name all of the North American countries?

Of course lol

Because laws and governance focusing on citizenship, ethnicity etc is wildly against the sentiment of equal treatment and value of humans. It’s unlawful as well. We don’t want an apartheid system.
