Yeah, and the American election will show wether or not he runs the US as well.

I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you'll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn't neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

The joke being that in the cities you won't find much guns, but travel out to the country and you'll find large showrooms.

But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

Americans will get a rude awakening if they think Europe will just lay down our arms because they say so.

If the orange one wins, that's a wedge into the divide between us.

No.

Please read my original post again. Did I say "was and always has been" or did I say "is"?

It is gambling, because dark pools. That is the house. You're not trading the actual stock. The financial institutions do that. You buy stock from them, and they in turn give you a fake number and invest it in all secrecy.

In essence, you'll get your money, but they will handle the profits. So it is a rigged slot machine.

And before you go "it's to avoid liability", fucking duh - it doesn't make it right though.

Screw the privacy policy, bruh, read that TOS:

Our use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels.

In other words, you put any content up there, they can resell it to some movie studio AND make an AI copy of you with no consequences... at least according to their ToS.

EU law however... well, time will tell how fast and violently EU lawyers will inject themselves into the urethra of the service provider.

Bruh, wtf you think stock trading is? Buying into funds is just hiring professional gamblers to work for you, "insider trading* is cheating and dark pools is just the high rollers table.

I can recommend utilizing watchtower for image updates and ChainGuard registry for image layering if someone is using Docker. Watchtower should be fairly easy to implement, even across images, and chainguard meets with governmental and military standards. They are also quite lightweight images, since they've gone over to a new base distro that cuts down on a lot of cruft.

I'm missing some way to migrate all my notes from Google Keep. Is there a plan in the future for this feature?
