From what I've read about the Nazis I don't think they were very religious. Makes sense too, if you are a fascist regime you want your leader to be the top dog, not some guy in the sky. Hitler, their fuhrer was their god.

But yeah I wouldn't really define them by their antisemitism. The jews were just the minority they picked to demonise. I think fascism is defined by:

• Creating a cult-like society where the narrative is strictly regulated and any deviation heavily punished
• Setting their society apart from others ("us vs them") and demonising minorities (in their case the jews but they were not the only ones, LGBTQ and people with mental health issues and physical disabilities too!)
• Extreme nationalism, exceptionalism and glorification of country and its leader
• Military imperialism (fed by the above point of nationalism, to give the soldiers a cause to fight for) and self-enrichment of its leaders

But this is how I see it, I kinda wonder now what the official definition is.

I didn't know that, but I do know that homelessness isn't just a housing problem. A huge number of cases are more mental health related: E.g. even if the person had money they wouldn't be able to live in a stable home. Because the root cause of their lack of money and homelessness is mental health. I would also consider drug addiction to be a mental health issue here by the way which would be a significant percentage of the homeless too.

And that is of course heavily associated with the lack of affordable mental healthcare in the US :( And drug addiction care.

Of course if you would give out housing you would save a lot of homeless, just saying it wouldn't work for all.

Yeah I agree with you 100% there.

To be a latina woman in her 30s would be a definite pick for a presidency over a geriatric male (let's be honest, I like Bernie Sanders but he is very old).

For such a job you'd want someone in their prime age with sharp attention span, with a forward-looking vision, not back. With multicultural experience to better communicate with the rest of the world.

I'm not an American so I can't vote but I would definitely pick her out of those two.

There is no such thing as a right wing democrat unless that person has brain damage.

Compared to Europe, the democrats are definitely right-wing, not even centric. They are very neoliberal and capitalist. Those are all very right-wing ideas. The republicans are currently in the same class as the radical right which is unfortunately making inroads in Europe. But America doesn't really know a real left except perhaps Bernie Sanders.

A female president of a normal age would be an amazing change for the US. Why does it always have to be geriatric males?

To me it has always sucked compared to something like Slack. It has really low information density for example with its huge bubbles around everything. Multi-tenant switching was a really slow and painful process unlike slack which simply has a sidebar for quick switching, and it creates a huge garbage dump in sharepoint when people upload stuff to a chat.

The native app for Linux is no longer supported anyway. PWA is the only official way now.

And yes the UX is terrible. Especially the search function, it always finds unrelated things and almost never what I'm looking for. Same thing with Outlook (the real outlook and the 'new' one), OneNote and Sharepoint.

It is my #1 and pretty much only usecase for copilot. I think copilot for office is not great but searching for my stuff it does do very well. Paying $30 a month to fix something that should have worked in the first place is a bit mad though.

And more generally, that the beneficiary decides their own benefits. I mean this is the mother of all conflicts of interest.

"You are all going to pay me a lot but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"

I'm not in the US and I've never been there, but I certainly won't go there ever (well, for the foreseeable future at least). I'm pretty LGBT-aligned (and atheist) so nope. I'm really sorry for people like yourself in this situation.

The problem is all the twisted narratives are reaching conservatives here in Europe too. And extreme right is booming.

True, we have enough made-up stories to fight these days. Like all the anti-trans narratives where they get themselves worked up about things that never actually happen.
