Money spent on the warfare state isn't wasted, due to the economic and social value of deterrence as we see with the cost of cyberwarfare against our infrastructure. This should be at the top of the concern of European and especially EU-level policymakers, and not trivialities like GDPR reform.

When I was applying to get into college, I found all of the application questions for Cooper Union condescending. ("What trivialities do you permit yourself to enjoy?") I wasn't getting in anyway, so I gave snarky answers and deconstructed their questions.
(Then they accepted me for admission. 😱)

when I was 3, my mom enrolled me in a study looking at developmental and cognitive outcomes for kids who were born severely premature, and I answered every question incorrectly on purpose because I felt they were condescending

If AI is so transformational, put to work curing diseases and solving world hunger. Using it to personalize a coffee menu tells me AI is only good for trivialities.

I think they only run the one-timers on genuinely bad stories on Republicans as a defense against criticism for their endless drumbeat coverage of trivialities on Democrats.
"No, we covered that!"
How often, how frequently, where in the paper, how many reporters assigned?
They're just the enemy.

That wood piece is something I bought in 2022 at a boardwalk market. It seemed the perfect little nugget to symbolize where we were, those times, all that. Then, in 2023, in a moment of losing my temper over the most trivial of trivialities, I ruined a 2-decades-long friendship. I was such a fool

Two days after has the national electorate stomped him for, among many other things, governing in trivialities, Trump underlines in bold his hopeless reputation as an unserious person who has no clue how the world actually works.

Honestly, as puerile as Trump's declaration of the golden Oval Office as a national monument is, I can't be angry. Much better that he spend the next two years on trivialities than foreign escapades where people will actually be hurt by Hegseth, Rubio, his own arrogance.

Obviously - it’s so inefficient, apart from anything else! Such waste of talent! Over such trivialities as a shade of skin colour for goodness sake. Please note, when Rishi Sunak was Prime Minister of the U.K. I don’t remember anyone commenting on his ancestry.
