Yeah, in Italy there's a lot of armed officials in public places and big stations (even train stations!). Usually they're only there to look intimidating. The ones who will actually bother people (usually immigrants) are regular policemen, who, paradoxically, are less likely to carry firearms

The only guns I see in my life are in possession of trained professionals. And even then it’s a lot if I see one per three months.

Here in my country (in Europe), you can just go to any important train station or public place and there'll be a bunch of soldiers doing fuck all with guns in their belts. They're just meant to stand there and look intimidating lmao. I've never even seen them bother immigrants or anything (that's the police's job)

I swear, whenever someone talks about how "humanity" is killing the planet, or "humanity" is evil or something like that, I get so irrationally mad. It's not humanity, it's like less than 1% of people that are bringing this planet down

Remember, the 'carbon footprint' metric was invented by British Petroleum's PR team.

I thought we hated all billionaires

Steve Wozniak's net worth is like 10 million. That's far from a billionaire

Yes, I know. It does display ads by default. On the other hand I don't see how else they should make money if they want to stay gratis

Startpage is one example. Almost every non-professional piece of software has good alternatives
