  • considerable checks and balances on executive power

    Lol. The 'Muricans use to boast about theirs too. Not anymore, do they?

    At the end of the day those are only words written in a piece of paper and can’t do anything if the gang of thieves (politicians) with a gang of thugs (forces) decide to wipe their asses with it.

    As I said, I’m not an expert in law, but for what I’ve seen when someone tells me their country (or maybe not theirs but one they have idealized) is different, it ends up not being true. Usually it’s just luck they’re wealthy enough and shit hasn’t hit the fan yet.









  • I mean the word ‘libertarian’ doesn’t mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

    Not an exhaustive list, but someone’s NOT a libertarian if they’re a bigot, they ‘back the blue’, defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include ‘employers’, landlords, investors… and anyone profiting from other people’s labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces…

    The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

    Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.

    I don’t know what’s up with my fellow millennials in the comments. I do order food once or twice a week.

    About the fees, there’s none if you order directly from the restaurant, and the apps/services that apply them (usually just one) take it out above a certain threshold, or looking into your email spam for of their ‘discount offers’, but the prices of the food are higher anyway (which I find more dishonest than simply charging a delivery fee).

    Also, I only tip if it’s rainy or super-hot (the weather, not the food or the delivery person), because Europe.



  • I ain’t no apple fan, but my old iPhone 8—which is now my sister’s work phone since one year ago—just received a security patch a couple months ago, eight years after it was bought. And yes I went with an iPhone 16, because only two phones in 14-15 years (iPhone 4, 8, and now 16) is something no other brand can currently compete with. Unpopular here, I know, but I don’t care about a jack port (my android work phone has one and its only function is to build up pocket dust), or sideloading (I don’t even ‘sideload’ much in my laptops, almost everything comes from the official repositories).

    I really hope the phone landscape changes and, in six years or so, I can buy a proper FOSS phone, but I’m not holding my breath.
