Where does the US get the oil from? 🤔

Lol sure, I don't mind companies blaming trump. But what about the decreasing sales before 2025?

Does the effects of tariffs travel backwards through time? 🤔

I'm surprised they didn't just put every democrat and people they deem as "RINO"s into a no-fly list.

Hmm I wonder why someone would use a throwaway account? Maybe something to do with the US becoming fascist?

Friend and Bank safes would be in the US, subject to the US's ICE/Gestspo "civil asset forfeiture". Only foreign cloud storage is safe.

I don't see why "other people's computers" is a problem. Encrypt, then upload.

Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”

I'm actually thinking of cloud storage for this reason. Anyone know a good reliable and affordable cloud provider that's not US-based, and I can pay for like a year in advance? (End to End Encryption doesn't matter since I can just do local encryption.)

For me, its more than just the support.

I wouldn't trust it even if someone gifted it to me. You don't know what software runs on there. The car could be programmed to kill you when it see you wearing a LGBT pin on your shirt.

What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I feel like cashless societies would be in chaos.

ahem China 👀

I wonder if they would ever add an "offline mode" to the Wechat Pay thing. I mean atleast society can, sort of, function for a few hours running on powerbanks.

Obviously this is about the power outage in Spain.

While normally, if a card declines, people would probably have to leave their IDs with the restaurant while they went to get a withdrawl from their bank; this is a power outage, withdrawls wouldn't work. It would be silly to arrest people because of a power outage. So I'm assuming people just have to give the restaurant owner/management their identity info with a promise to pay?

And power outages shouldn't affect buses, since they run on gasoline/diesel, but the payment system processing transit passes might not work. Do buses still get run during a power outage and they just let people on for free, or do they just shut down the bus lines?

What is the evolutionary benefit of loving a pet so much you melt into a puddle when they are around? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Lol I find cats, even adult cats, are cuter than babies.

Like, no offense, but... babies are ugly

According to the subreddit’s moderators, the AI took on numerous different identities in comments during the course of the experiment, including a sexual assault survivor, a trauma counselor “specializing in abuse,” and a “Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter.”
