It took me around an hour to do it but I think it was either skim or 2%. Not sure I could’ve done chocolate or full fat. I got really dizzy and felt like total shit. I had to fast for a few days to feel normal again.

Apparently it’s really dangerous. But I was 23 at the time and big into competitive eating at the time so I had probably prepared myself physically somewhat if such a thing is possible.

0/10 do not recommend.

I did this once and shit cold milk out of my ass.

lol.

lmao even.

I’m aware. Been following that as well. I still trust Germany more than I trust the USA. I unfortunately can’t really move to one of the larger cities as it’s pretty cost prohibitive until my wife could find a job. We are going to live in a less populated town for a while and ramp up culturally and see how everything goes. She speaks Spanish fluently, so we may end up in Spain after some time. It’s hard to say.

It’s that damn reality that needs to be punished. Stupid facts and laws of economics making Trump look worse than he is.

My phone was on its way out so I got something with better translation features and support for my move to Germany. Was it expensive? Yes. Is it less expensive than it will be? Also yes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this causes scalpers to start hoarding goods again like they did during the pandemic. Artificial scarcity but still cheaper than the official price on Amazon or whatever.

Companies are pre-buying goods and laying off workers already, so why wouldn’t the citizenry?

Yeah encryption is a must in general but also especially going forward. I moved my group to Signal. I don’t like that it’s USA owned and run, so I’m hoping the other projects globally will start to improve interface and functionality wise. Also open to suggestions.

You’re posting on here and probably other channels. The NSA, FBI, and anyone else caught up in the wholesale data collection on US citizens has a full profile on you.

Guess who now has that data?

Get out if you can.

If you can’t, go to a blue state and buy guns and ammo. Self-sort. Learn to shoot. Learn bush craft. Quit your vices. Get into shape.

If you can’t do that, I’m very sorry for your plight. Form communities where you can and try to make some sort of SHTF plan.

Hope you’re right but my wife and her family are Salvadoreños. I can’t take chances.

Joe Rogan, Aiden Ross, Theo Von, Andrew Tate, etc. will have Gen Z men in lockstep with whoever rises to the top of the shit pile. It’s like Rush Limbaugh on steroids. Coordinated, algorithm driven, and a pipeline ready to take any young man without critical thinking skills down the slippery slope to the alt-right.

That’s what scares me the most and feels different about all of this.

I was worried Bush 2 would cancel elections to continue presiding over his War on Terror. This feels so much worse.

Until a new strongman pops up. I’ve been watching this movie for 30+ years.

They’re not going to seize power and then fuck it up. Project 2025 will go forward. There is structure behind this movement. I’d like to believe that Trump dying or going away would fix the problem too, but it won’t.

The right wing always galvanizes behind someone new if it means they get to hurt their enemies.

Yes but the mechanisms behind your electoral process are still there, and it isn’t one party rule for optimistically the next four years. USA might not be having anymore elections. The German situation is serious but it’s more of a fender bender than the all out full head on collision without seat belts that is the USA.

Until they kill him or use the 25th amendment to install Vance. Now that he’s won, you think the people around the useful idiot who have accepted all the Russian money will just let him fuck their plans up?

Realistically people should start to self sort and leftists should start to purchase and train with guns if they don’t have them for their family’s protection.

Balkanize.

Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid. Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built and the Trump admin never holds them accountable and they take the money and run or fuck it up since there’s no oversight because DeReGuLaTiOn, how exactly does that make a difference as to whether the government is trying to build fabs? If they’re functionally not prepared to absorb the global demand created by WW3, then where will America get its chips? Electing Trump is literally a national security concern at this point.

I feel like the Germans are the only ones who understand this. Very few of the Americans in my life understand they just lost their “democracy”. I’m a dual German/US national, so it’s been hard to watch the US backslide. I’ll come to Germany next year, but I swear to god if you fuckers elect AfD I’m gonna lose my shit.

Remember when the US government gave the telecoms billions to build gigabit internet infrastructure nationwide and they fuckin just didn’t do it?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. Show me a working fab as a result of that act after Trump and Co manage to not fuck it up and then your comment might have some merit. Note: the coming brain drain will not be kind to the USA.
