The 5% is probably too much, but its realistically 3.5% the othet 1.5% can be spend on infrastructure (like make bridges strong enough so tanks can drive over them), on cyber defense and other things that are not weapons.
Also it's about deterrence, when we spend enough Russia can't attack unless they match the spending, this is part why the Soviet Union collapsed.
The thing is the EU is mostly concerned about Europe, while the US wants to play world police. So if China would invade Taiwan and NATO is without the US, I'm not sure they are going to get involved, it would open the gate for Russia. If the US is still part of NATO I'm not sure what will happen as it's not an article 5 event. So the other NATO countries are not automatically involved even if the US is.
You can buy bags with fake mold, but people will probably see it and throw your food in the trash, so I don't think it really helps.
For test data I like to use different movie or comic book names for different epics.
So when we start a new epic with multiple user stories I decide this will be all star wars, or matrix or donald duck characters, etc etc. The nice thing about it is when certain test data gives unexpected errors in other parts of application its easy to track where the test data is from.

Yeah if bugs didn't exist I'd be homeless too
Look dude you are talking about actively resisting, so thats why I asked how are you doing that. And if you think I'm an fbi agent or something just say what someone theoretically can do, how can I actively resist?
Yeah sure I bet except from complaining here you don't do shit
About the "hardcore" and msm, I do check msm, and try to use multiple sources and more balanced media sources. News on lemmy definitely isn't neutral.
Mostly the same, but when I need to search for something and reddit is in the top search results, I do look at it.
Ok, so how are you actively resisting yourself?
This is like saying Germany losing WW2 is what allowed Israel to attack Iran.
