On that whole note. What is happiness? It's what we ourselves decide it to be. For me happiness is when I am content with myself.
I just don't get this obsession with Trump. So what if he is the president of the US? It doesn't change US one bit. You will still find the same people, the same cities, the same landscape as half year ago when Trump was not president yet. Why would you deprive yourself of broadening your horizons just because a guy who you don't like is in charge?
A lot of things can be misinterpreted if you already have your mind in the specific drawer.
You remember when Trump said that Putin is strong leader and afterwards that if he is the president US won't be weak anymore? Well, he actually meant that Obama is weak and not that Putin is strong. But most of the media and people interpreted that as a thumbs up for Putin. Actually it was thumbs down - as in - it won't be so easy with me.
It went so far that people who would vote for Trump lied in polls just so that they don't receive strange looks or something worse. That is the fear above mentioned "establishment" instilled into people. And it's not just US...
The meltdown of the "media" and shock is just pure funny.
Let's forget about all the controversy around Clinton family. I will just leave this[0] here.

What's interesting is that I signed us up for Tesco bank account but we were both rejected. Probably because we didn't have any history in UK yet but it still kind of sucked - now I am glad they rejected us. Ultimately the next day we went to red and blue US bank on the high street and got it all sorted within half an hour. We showed them contracts, documents and bills to our names (real estate agency through which we rent already sorted that out for us before we came) and we were done. Got our cards made at the spot as well.
So it was kind of the opposite for us. We could't get the bank account with Tesco because of their "security check" but could at the high street bank.
All in all, I don't personally have any issues with lighting up the Eiffel Tower if that means a lot of exposure and information about sick planet reaching more people.
My grandparents were stripped of all land as well and I am 100% certain it was not because of ethnicity since they were of the same as the ruling ethnic majority.
What you are explaining is probably local authorities - humans hated your relatives because of their ethnicity and that was one of the reason they got sent to Siberia. Taking land though was widespread in USSR. It was taken from ethnic Russians as well.
The fact that minorities survived and thrived on the same scale as Russians and got sent and taken land from on the same scale as Russians and got sent to Siberia on the same scale as Russians is a proof that there was no policy to destroy particular minority on a state level. It was a policy to destroy enemies of the state.
Otherwise it looks good and I like the simplicity.
All in all. I'll wait a year for 7s to replace my 6s if nothing else worthy and working out of the box comes out.
I am all for playing clean but in this case it seems there is no other way than joining this train(wreck).
