The keep your own currency deal and stay out of Schengen permission was only ever for existing members. It isn’t open to new joiners. Neither is the membership fee rebate, which was only ever for us.
Not going further is a power we used to have, but lost permanently when we left.
It’s a bit shit of you to call me a maga bot just because I didn’t know something.
I don’t go on reddit any more anyway.
Thanks for the link, though, I’ll have a look now.
Edit: Wow, that’s a bunch of crap from proton. I was thinking of switching to them. Crap.
I agree that corporate capture of dems is real, but to paint the magats as being for the little guy is insane!
Again, if you want to come across as wise, you have to come up with more than insults.
And if you want to rebut my points effectively, you have to come up with something more substantive than that they were a bit lengthy for your taste.
Then please provide details or links or something, because as someone who’s trying to figure out what’s going on here, you’re doing more arguing than explaining.
I love ilovepdf. I use it a lot.
You won me round with number 4.
I’m old enough to know that I don’t respect someone who tries to make out that anyone who disagrees with them is stupid or a child, particularly when they themselves feel the need to comment on someone using big words too often.
I wondered whether you had to look it up and it annoyed you, so you went on the attack and defaulted to sneering. But I think it’s more likely that you immediately realised that your attempt to belittle them for questioning whether you were serious had backfired spectacularly and they were amused that your response answered the question vividly instead of having the desired effect, and that’s what made you try to make them look small.
You and I have different senses of humour. I find things funny when there’s a surprise other meaning or something like that, but you find things funny when you’re calling other people dumb. It’s just that this time the irony is that you accidentally assumed someone had to pay money to have come across the word disambiguation before today. Again “ooo, swallowed a dictionary, have you?” isn’t the ‘massive own’ playground bullies think it is.
In case it wasn’t clear, I think your sneering responses to disagreement throughout this thread make you sound deeply insecure. Those of us who disagree with you aren’t all naïve and teenaged as you like to pretend. Come up with better arguments than that. Marx and Engels were very, very intelligent men and you are doing them a disservice by acting like trump in defence of their ideals.
That’s all good stuff, 100%, but if the existing constitution had been upheld, Trump would be in prison instead of the White House.
Projecting? Projecting what?
Also, no reason to use your 25 cent word of the day more than once. No one is impressed twice by its use.
This you?
I’m far to old to be impressed by a new vocabulary word
For some of us, disambiguation wasn’t a new word, and in particular, I don’t think @ExFed@programming.dev was trying to impess you.
Bernie isn’t actually a Democrat. He’s independent.
Getting pissy at people for using a polysyllabic word twice isn’t coming across as the big own you seem to have been aiming for.
What the fuck do you mean by start over?
Once you’ve finished your starting over, would you reinstate Citizens United or abolish it?
Once you’ve started over, would you have free healthcare for all, or reinstate privatised insurance company-led doublepay healthcare?
Once you’ve started over, would you build millions of affordable homes, or are you planning on killing enough people that there’s a surplus already?
Once you’ve started over, would you charge for education or make it free?
Once you’ve started over, would you expand social security and reinstate traditional pensions, or reduce social security and continue to assume that everyone will be able to afford a good 401k?
Once you’ve started over, would you raise the minimum wage to an amount that people can realistically live on, or leave it so that corporations can underpay workers and leave social security to foot the bill instead or have starvation and homelessness as the warning to any prole stubborn enough to consider only working a single full time job?
Once you’ve started over, would you demand that the wealthiest people and three corporations pay their fair share of taxes, or would you allow all the tax avoidance schemes from before?
“Start over” is much, much, much emptier words that don’t have any hope of making anything better AT ALL than Bernie’s words.
If your only criticism of Bernie is that there just isn’t enough death and destruction for your tastes, but using that as a reason to disagree with his ideas is nonsensical.
If your criticism amounts to “death first”, then I have to tell you that Trump and ICE wholeheartedly agree with you.
Yes, definitely but I’m particularly worried that Thailand has a reputation for sex tourism, mail order spouses and underage people trapped in sex work.
Who is surprised that the international pedophile ring of rich and powerful men that contains Donald Trump also contains Vladimir Putin? I’m not.
Thailand should definitely be in top 10!
I’m not entirely sure that all of the trans people are safe and well treated in Thailand.
in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
I thought the act required the (partially redacted) release of all of the files, not the release of roughly half of them. What’s in the other half, mr trump?
He did?
“Everything’s a dildo if you’re horny/brave enough.” - man.
I don’t see any benefit for the EU for services, so I don’t think they’ll agree to it without full membership of the single market and the four freedoms.
