Also can't comprehend the "protected" bike lane.
It just looks like more road

They're clearly being politically repressed so no doubt Donny would welcome them with open arms, a gold/green card, and set them up as ambassadors to Europe.

Nah.
Trump thinks he is the saviour of america, and that he is the friend of the constitution.

The constitution doesn't think this.
Pretty sure a number of his executive orders will be (or have been?) ruled unconstitutional and overturned - which is makes it easier to counter future bullshit, but anyone currently sprayed by the fan of the us government slinging shit will still have had their lives ruined.

Seems like her initial reaction is from the gut with love and support.
And then maybe she searches and "researches" the topic and starts spouting bullshit, and doesn't have the appropriate social filters.


All I really wanted from her was understanding, but she just gave me a lot of self-doubt and sadness instead.

Feel free to call her out on these things. Highlight the instances where she has initially been supportive, and then u-turned into harmful communication.
Ultimately, this is about communicating these scenarios with her. Hopefully she can modify her behaviours.
I know I have changed my behaviour significantly when people have done that with me, and I have noticed the same with my parents when I call them out on things.
It's just human.


It's possible that she has undiagnosed conditions.
Might be that you notice some markers of this when talking to her about your concerns.


Or it's possible that she is researching in the wrong way and in the wrong places (maybe a "mom group" which is actually a toxic environment).
Which will also become apparent when discussing the topic ("you said you thought I might have autism last night, but this morning you said I was lazy. I'm trying to figure this thing out and you have a perspective on my life I don't. Saying one thing that validates my concerns, then saying a hurtful opposite thing less than 12 hours later both makes me seriously doubt myself and my experiences and makes me feel really unloved and unsupported. Why did you change your tune?" sort of thing).
At which point you have to decide if you:
want to try and correct their news/research sources;
accept that they will prioritise their shitty "research" over their actual experience - basically not rely on them for support and disregard their opinion, but still love them;
or cut them out of your life.


There is also the possibility that she is toxic, but her initial support comes from biological "love and support".
You don't owe her anything, and - if through communication about the issue - you figure out she is toxic, then it's fine to reduce/eliminate your reliance/relationship/contact with her.


Ultimately, her opinion doesn't matter. She isn't a psychologist or a medical doctor. If you think something is wrong, you need to talk to people that have studied the subject.
Talk to a professional, and keep going until you feel heard. Don't give up until you feel heard and understood.

Just buy from the EU.

Yes, but...
The same could happen the the EU, as with any foreign power.
It's unlikely as the EU is fundamentally built differently. But it could, no doubt a country that wanted to push through their adjenda by exploiting loopholes that haven't been discovered/exploited because of "decorum" could still happen.

Buy source-provided.
So, you get everything you need to maintain the platform with the purchase cost.
If you want updates and improvements, they have additional cost.
Like so many software licencing models. 1 year of updates - except it's source provided.
It's more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Renew your licence every year for another year.
Stop paying? You get to use the EJ69 fighter jet platform as it was in 2019 for as long as you can manufacture parts for it.

Or you could buy the cloud-hosted fighter jets. And risk the off-switch. But it's less upfront cost, higher long-term cost

I was kinda hoping the UK was past exploiting the ill-informed, idiots and reckless. Especially after the wild wild success of Brexit.

But no, apparently not.
Exploit the AI hype that a lot of people probably don't understand.
Somehow argue that a computer is more human than a human.
Put this absolute garbage of a solution on the ballet, and watch everyone go "well, politicians aren't working, let's try breaking the system" and vote for some untested hallucinating predictive text algorithm to lead a country, while employing twice as many staff to fix/feed/spin/manipulate/fake the results of the AI.

The server was now too full of data to do anything,

This reminds me of something that I always mean to do but totally forget to.
Allocate 1gb of space for a blank/dummy file on every VM I run.
When you run into a VM that locks up due to disk space, delete (or resize) the file, get to work fixing the VM, then put the empty file back
