    It would only be a financial drain if you were sending that money back home.

    Only if you limit your view to your nation. ‘Back home’ across the border it would most likely also buy food etc. And that would be fine.

    The real drain is the infinite black hole of the rich guys pockets. That is where all the money is. Don’t blame people who send money to their loved ones to help, just because there is a border.



  • Sometimes it’s the way we have heated arguments or ignore our differences. Hear me out.

    I hate these arguments, but we often just move on. And I guess everybody knows we’ll besties and play games again soon, regardless.

    We have been friends for 20 years, since school. Partially growing apart, even politically, there are some troubles we can’t fix. Asshole situations included. But everyone seems to be able to ignore them at some point, and we all get back together for a BBQ, boardgames or the usual new years eve, as if we were still 16 years old.

    Having overcome all these things, it feels like nothing can separate us anymore. Therefore, we can talk about absolutely everything, even if it leads to a fight. I kind of makes us open up personally and we can even make fun about it too. Imagine a comedy central roast but then its all over and back to normal.

    Of course, the arguments are a bad thing but whenever we have them, i am reminded that I don’t need to worry about it. I don’t have that with anybody else. And mostly it is a fun harmonic group, btw.

    The wording of that message wiggles around a lot. When you read it again, you realize there can be:

    • almost every monitoring of online communications (just not ‘general’)
    • all chat scanning (just no chat ‘control’)
    • everything can be detected (just child abuse will be searched for AND detected)
    • sneak peaking at everybody’s chats is ok. (But ‘detection orders’ need a thorough process)

    This is the language of some one who knows is guilty
