In case you find yourself fighting mechahitler, you know what’s going on.

Piracy has never been stealing, whether you were allowed to own the thing or not. Piracy is a copyright infringement.

No. I disagree.

You are talking about tildes, I am sure. You were complaining because you were banned for suggesting killing Nazi people.

I did not reply regarding tilde itself: I have never used the service. Either way, the ban makes sense to me: do not suggest killing people.

I gave advice on how to handle situations and on how a situation when you meet a Nazi may be handled. You may disagree with me on that, that is fine.

But I doubt you go around killing Nazis with your car very often.

Do you know what a bar that serves nazis is called? A nazi bar.

No. Just a normal bar. At this point to be fair I don’t even know what you’re referring to as Nazi. There are neonazists in several countries indeed, I guess you refer to those.

Those are people who live their lives, they have a terrible ideology in their mind. Starting to violently attack them for no reason would lead them to get more defensive, closed and ready to fight.

Having a chat with them and reasoning about their problems may lead to some of them opening up.

That does not mean you should not defend yourself need should come, as I said I had experience with that.

From your reply I read you do not have much experience with this. If you do not, do not go around telling people to hit people with their car. If you do, why the hell are you telling people to hit Nazis with their car?

As you can see from my message above, I’m not completely against violence.

But if that’s the way you conduct your life, I’m afraid you’ll soon end up in jail.

If that is not the case then you either never see nazis, which is not so common these days, or you’re speaking empty words.

I had those kind of confrontations which end up in people picking up sticks and taking out knives with congregations of neofascists in order to protect the integrity of places, in periods in which those were being targeted and it was quite common to hear someone from your circle of friends had gotten murdered while getting back home.

What are you talking about?

Please, do not murder nazis. They are not in any position of power. If you meet one of them in isolation, try to talk with them and understand their reasons, then explain your ideas.

If you meet a group of them, have a beer with them and have a chat.

If you meet a group of them attempting to perpetrate violence, call to your network of contacts, organize immediately and beat the shit out of them.

The only reason I may order food from a place which has pictures in their menu is if it is some kind of exotic cuisine which is mostly unfamiliar and thus I’d need a picture to understand what I’m ordering.

Otherwise, AI or not, there’s no way a restaurant with pictures in their menu is going to be decent.

I can understand how this business may work as I worked in graphics for years.

But still, in my opinion a good menu has no pictures: today we have this and this and this, the price is this.

That’s all I need to know and that is how I know the place is good. The moment when a restaurant needs to take pictures of their food to attract customers, I have no reason to believe their food has an acceptable quality level.

If a restaurant has enough employees as to have a manager, why would you ever go in such a place to eat? A restaurant either has an owner or it is a chain, if it is a chain the quality is not going to be good.

Achieve world peace. Make no mistake, or I will give you a Snickers bar.

I prefer to cut my pizza myself.

Didn’t you love T9 back in the days?

Country with most private beaches in Europe. I believe Greece comes second with some 600 or so…

Plenty countries do not allow multiple citizenships. However, the US does allow dual citizenship. And it does allow becoming citizen of another country and renounce the US citizenship.

It seems to me your are misinformed.

https://www.usa.gov/become-us-citizen

What do you mean? American citizens can indeed change citizenship. Where did you get the idea that a US citizen can not change their citizenship?

How would even the US be able to prevent someone from becoming a citizen in another nation?

Yes, it is leaving the US behind. You go leave somewhere else and you have some paperwork to do in your original country unless you eventually decide to change citizenship.

You could decide to still stay very connected to the US, or to avoid it as much as legally possible.

I don’t see how this is much more different than moving away from any other country. Unless you change citizenship you’ll still have to deal with your country of origin.

I’m not sure what this asymmetrical set of expectations you mention is.

If an American does not want to live in America, they can go live somewhere else. They’ll still be Americans, but won’t be living in America. If they don’t want anything to do with the US, they may try to stop paying taxes in the US; however I can imagine problems with that, as possibly their passport may be revoked.

Its being american but away

I do not think it is possible to stop being from a country, unless you leave it very young. An American may change their citizenship and integrate very well into another nation, but that does not take away the fact that they are American.

Sure it’s not nice. Still, does not make it impossible to leave. Moreover, why do you say without representation? Are Americans living abroad not allowed to vote?

No, I am not American. But I do know plenty Americans living where I live.

Americans can leave but they can’t stop being american

I don’t know a single county which you can leave and by doing that you terminate your citizenship. You leave your country and get residency in another country while keeping your own citizenship. Americans can indeed do the same and get residency in another country.

I do not live in my country of birth. I have residency where I live, but still have my original citizenship. I do not want to change my citizenship, it is something I may do with time; but those processes take quite a while. This means I still have to do paperwork in my country of origin. My paperwork does not involve double taxation on my salary, but I assure you it can become quite annoying at times; often I do have to spend considerable amounts of money in order to comply with such paperwork.

The only difference I see with the US is the double taxation, which is indeed an extra difficulty, but I don’t understand why you say Americans can not move to other countries. They indeed can and they do.

If you are from New Zealand you can move to South Africa.

Yes, you can. You will face some difficulties that you will have to overcome in order to do that. Same if you’re from the US.

Moving to a new nation with a family, restricting yourself to a specific job is always going to be difficult; regardless where you are from.

I am aware of the problem with US taxation on foreign income. In fact I know many people who move away from the US while retaining a job in the US. In many places this allows them to mostly only pay taxes in the US.

However, the statement is correct in my opinion: if you don’t like your country you can leave. It is indeed not easy, but definitely possible.

I know plenty of people where I live who came with their whole family without money and without a job, now they have a job and their family living here.

Plenty people moved with one year contracts, plenty people moved with contracts of just a few months, plenty people moved with a tourist visa and then found a job.

I have met people who have done this from many different countries to many different countries. In many cases it was difficult, in others it was simpler.

I know plenty Americans who moved to other countries and live well and were able to fix any bureaucratical problem in-between.

Are you saying that US citizens are impossibilitated to move due to the double taxation? Is that such a huge problem as to make it unfeasible? It surely does not make it easier, but plenty people before you were able to.

Isn’t a 1 year work contract enough to get a residence permit in most countries?

I guess it may not be in some countries, but I reckon most of them should be fine with that.

It is unlikely to move to a new country with a 10 years contract, unless you go for a specific highly skilled position.
