Which is basically what Snowden revealed btw (phone metadata collection, internet traffic interception, data access from tech platforms, fiber-optic cable tapping, smartphone location and metadata)
Hunches and gut feelings. Dreams in waking life.
I organize the Eurovision Song Contest, but exclusive to Lemmy, it’s called Lemmyvision !

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Capitalism turns countries into businesses to support the lavish lifestyle of capital holders and the government into HR to silence the workers

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favourite story from history that is actually false or exaggerated?
283·7 months agoMarie Antoinette saying let them eat bread or something
From her point of view it sounds incredibly based, it would probably have just been ignorance though. I’m still glad she died because of that patronising comment that she kind of didn’t actually say

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who prepared costumes for Halloween: how much money/effort did you put in it?
20·8 months agoNot a costume, but I made a ghost, we have a tree trunk in front of the house, I put one of those round metal plates upside down on it, white bath towel, cut dark red paper for eyes and mouth, attached them with pins, and a candle in an jelly pot on the ground
Sounds fancy? Looks like shit but I love it LOL

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any countries with an inverted hierarchy jurisdictional structure?

French perspective here : Vermont sounds like one of the safest states to reside in, even in the current political climate of the US. You sound like you’re doing well financially so I wouldn’t worry for now, but maybe there are specific things that are making you reconsider, they’re valid.
France is hard to settle in, you need to be committed to learning the language and the culture. It’s very worth it but also takes time and energy, do consider that you’ll be an ocean away from your partner’s family, this might play in the long term.
If you do decide to come, I would recommend you wait until summer 2027 (presidential elections) to see how the political landscape looks like in France as well (trump-compatible-far-right has momentum currently), and make a decision based on this.

In general the political system you grow up in seems to becomes a normalcy in your mind when in reality there’s so many different ways of governing
