Absolutely, but at least in many countries people understand that – here people love to pretend that there is no corruption here at all and that we're good, honest folk all of us.

I'm going to die of liver failure, aren't I?

There is a chance that US will change back its course in 4 years

Sure, like there's a chance I'll get hit by a meteorite

von der Leyen is centre-right, ie. a conservative who pretends to be moderate. She's been very happy kissing literal neo-fascist Meloni's ass, so it's not at all unlikely she's doing this because of who you elected

Harris wouldn't exactly be someone I'd want to vote for myself, but being all the way Over Here™ she wouldn't have been nearly bad enough for me to start shovign 0.75L of rum into myself after not sleeping a wink at 10am.

Finland is surprisingly corrupt (it's just not the sort of corruption where you bribe cops) and Finns are generally stupid and gullible enough to think we're not corrupt

I can only imagine how bad y'all must feel, because I'm here getting very drunk at 10am and feeling like I don't even want to see what's going to happen in the next few years.

One thing I can't help thinking about is what the hell is Russia going to get up to in the future if they get an effective carte blanche from Trump. I'm Finnish and those fucks are right next door

Wait, they can't vote if they're drunk?

I mean it's absolutely possible and pretty trivial to do in-house online surveys so that you know whether someone has answered but can't immediately connect answers to individuals, especially if the survey didn't use an in-house web service.

Whether I'd trust a corporation that says some survey is anonymous is another matter entirely though, because I absolutely wouldn't

Oh yeah it's going to be a temporary reprieve at best, unfortunately fascists don't disappear even if they lose an election

Yeah I should have said "at least 4."

What you said is exactly why I needed the rum in reserve
