We just all set it to yellow the entire time so people don't think they can call out of the blue.

"Out of Trump's pocket" LMAO whatever they're on, I'd like to have some.

After a full month of imprisonment in a camp run by fascist paramilitary troops, you absolute dolts.

Not the majority.

But I've found myself surprised at seemingly educated, well-traveled, sensible US Americans suddenly dropping the most obviously, embarrassingly unreflected nationalist supremacist bullshit as purported fact. While paying lip service to supposed US-specific virtues which they completely go against in everything else they say.

Nationalism is a poison on the brain. The privilege of travelling only affords you the opportunity to see it clearly for what it is. Most people subjected to its propaganda still stick with what they were taught rather than rebuilding their whole worldview.

I was fine with Power Delivery, but this really doesn't need to be part of the USB standard.

Colonialism only took on modern forms. It's always been might makes right.

Now with some countries slowly rising from its shadows, a lot of people in the west are pissing their pants that the tables might turn. Even if we're a very long stretch away from that, and climate change is ironically affecting us less than the so-called global south.

No one implied they shouldn't be allowed to. People just have opinions on what works.

A national self-perception steeped in exceptionalism has them convinced it can't be anything but envy.

The entire political spectrum has moved considerably right, with "Fortress Europe" talk and blatant admissions that human rights aren't something we should care about.

There is no hard divide between conservatives and the far right.

It's cope, at least in part, to point out that the open advance of fascism in the US is several years ahead of the rest of the Western world, and that this was possible under an absolute dumbfuck embarrassment like Trump. And I get why people need to cope right now.

It's also not wrong to point out that this was enabled by the US exceptionalist mindset and particular flavor of nationalism that we've all been exposed to.

This reads as a diss against all people in the US, but it's not. I strongly empathize with and am in solidarity with those suffering under it.

3 years is not a long time at all. I've been collecting games on my steam account for 19 years, and there was a period of >2 years where I didn't use it.

Preventing the recovery of temporarily abandoned accounts (like from a family member that stopped gaming some time ago), and saving a few cents in storage.
