Actually, just typing any search query with a member of the eu and “housing shortages” does bring up results, so this assertion is even more bizarre

Could it be the author only read english articles? The assertion that no one in europe speaks about housing shortages does not reflect my experience.

There are no countries in europe who’s native language is english, and all online discourse would be in european languages.

( apart of course from the uk, but the author makes the distinction)

I believe this is the current situation in switzerland, plus, the swiss have a tv license you have to pay if you have anything that could show media digitally so i feel doubly justified pirating things.

I read "that is not worth reporting on anymore because it's barely the craziest thing this week" and just immediately thought that this is all just part of the plan to flood the zone. So much corruption, crimes, lies, insanity is coming out of this admin, it's impossible to keep track of, the depravity of it all is still unrealized as we just go numb to it all.

I was thinking about this, i’m sure there’s been a black mirror episode, but one thing i think back to is one where the us gov used ai to alter a stoic expression on an arrested protestors face and altering it to look like she was crying because that’s what they wanted to portray.

It’s a bullying tactic, i shiver to think how some people will make happy memories out of things that aren’t.
