10 % isn’t based on anything but let’s imagine: 2-4 % military 1 % communication infrastructure, media and unbiased information 2-4 % healthcare 2-4 % food. You quickly get to 10%. Too big and you loose the benefit of free trade.

Free trade is the best system for 90 % of an economy. I will take a dump on Trump any day, maybe twice , but having a small capacity to build your own silicon chip is mandatory in case of a military conflict. Covid wasn’t a planned military conflict and first world economies couldn’t produce mask, gown… and luckily the virus wasn’t so deadly and only a small % of the population died.

I am Canadian… by any free trade perspective it looks like we should buy our milk from countries with less harsh winter… but then we would be on our knee if an idiot decide to bully us with a duty tax.

There should be free trade for 90 % of a country gdp and elected officials can change their list of excluded 10 % every few years.

Do you have a link for those reviews of Tuta email?

I know nothing, but isn’t some pieces of Google software to be found on many sites that aren’t Google or YouTube?

Please come, it’s fun not to fight insurances companies and just prescribe what you consider is the best treatment without thinking too much about the capacity of the patient to fill the prescription.

I will boycott American product with a passion, but what’s a little brain drain between “friends”? Any other field with smart and motivated women we might be interested in?

Brawndo!

This concept pop up every years and each time i am surprise by how happy i am for US politicians to be forced to acknowledge climate change and then sad for all those people priced out of living at a fair price in a safe place.

Thanks for this post. I haven’t read the Walrus in a while, i will be coming for more.

Where is the preferred way to express gratitude through kind word and financial support.

For example, lemmy developers can be help through Patreon, but what % of the donations stays with Patreon?

And then, “for national security,” Canada drop food imports and non essential medication from the US regardless of its Nafta 2.0 signature. Anyway the US made it clear that this trade deal isn’t binding. Other developed economies in Europe and Pacific will do the same as soon as they aren’t the first one to do so… So much winning and greatness in America.

Step one : do some activity where you genuinely want to be there involved in that activity. You will meet new people there, it can’t happen if you stay home inactive. You are happy with your own person at this point.

Step two : be kind towards everyone there and show interest to new people with a curiosity state of mind. Talk to people, not only people of direct romantic interest…

Step three : “i had fun spending time with you tonight, is there a way for me to text you to do something together soon?”

Step four : most of the time, when you text to invite you use the word date only once, but it need to be there. She will notice and register that you don’t aim for platonic.

Step five : its out of your control, if there is reciprocal interest you will feel things moving, if it’s not moving over 8-10 dates you need to check within yourself if it’s the relationship you want and discuss the divergence with her. At that point every couple is different, you build the style of communication that will characterize your relationship going forward in this early phase. Let her bring the sex topic first, or most of it.

Dating app will push you just a bit faster to 3-4, but you are doing every step before that through your phone with artificial/imperfect feedback.

I challenge every newbies to create 1-3 posts over the first 72 h here : what do you enjoy in social media usually?
