Ah fuck, I just purchased a Suunto Race last year over a Garmin, because it was Finnish company 😭

Suunto hasnt been Finnish for many years now ? I have an old Suunto from just before they were bought out originally (2018) by a Chinese company and they were then on sold in 2022 to another Chinese company.

It's not Garmin so there is that bonus.

EU, Canada, NZ, Japan, Australia should all move much closer. The UK made their choice to be by themsleves so I'd not bother with them.

As an Australian I'd love for us to try to join the EU, even though lately theu seem to have moved more pants on head inasne with AfD and the other right wing parties in Austria, France, Sweden etc.

Same in The Philippines, Manila is a shithole of traffic, a stupidity copied from the US

As to pollition

The problem with the soft apocalypse is that it is still an apocalypse. It still ends in collapse. We tell ourselves we have time, that the worst is always just ahead, that we will act when we must

For most of the democratic world, the US Democrats are right wing, like Canada, Australian mainstream. conservatives are to then left of the Democrats..eg it was Australians mainstream right wing party that brought in compararively draconian gun laws (by US standards)

Chatham Islands ?

I chose Tasmania, am here now.. I dont think anywhere is but i am hoping it's lesser and i am not the literal tip of the spear.

Albiet the poulation is older, white, conservative, religious so there is that problem.

Im 58, I've et 4 people in my life I'd classify as "good". Im with one and I'm not one.

All 4 are women, which gives me pause as a guy.

I had long hoped that the EU woukd be the last bastion against hate but alas, it to is embracing it with wide open arms and a goofy smile.

Australia led the toxicity decades ago and that hate and vitriol has spread across the globe. If there is one thing we humans seem to have in common its hate towards those in need and minorities.

Honestly that sounds like a jerk move.

Quite the opposite,

Why would you force someone to use Linux?

In what world is that force ? He wasnt holding a gun to her head, the opposite, he's freeing her from stupidity.

Decent people help others, they don't go along with their stupid ideas before at least trying to convince them its a stupid idea. An allegory perhaps, your friend comes over, they have a 1/2 dozen beers, they're going to drive home... In your world it seems it's force to ask them not to and to stay over.

It isn't your computer and if you are helping them you should do what they want

Helping them is the phrase you seem to be confused about. It's his sister, not his boss at the office.
