Whataboutism. Comparing the situation between Israel and Palestine to North Korea isn't smart. And you say what "we've" done to Palestinians, I haven't done anything to them, I didn't vote for any of that shit.
Banning masks is authoritarian fascist shit, especially masks that protect you from spreading contagious illnesses. Ridiculous, one year we're all told we need to wear masks to protect one another, next year we're told that it's illegal? Fuck off government, fuck off.
The pivotal moment in American history was at some point in the 1970s. We're experiencing the effects of bad decisions made 50 years ago. Sanders winning in 2016 was our last chance. Biden will never be a progressive. We need our votes to actually matter. We need ranked choice voting or STAR voting, and we need to end the electoral college, popular vote now. I'm cynical at this point. I've accepted the idea that things will need to get worse before meaningful change occurs, which has been happening regardless of what I believe anyway.
North Korea is such a let down for humanity, a sad disappointment. They'd be so much better off if they worked together with the world. I firmly believe the US military has a complete view of their imports/exports through spy satellites.
Ugh, as if we don't have enough of this kind of game already. SMITE 2 and Marvel Rivals are coming soon. Valve for fucks sake, look at how well Half Life: Alyx did. I seriously hope they're working on a future Half Life game or some new story driven style game at the very least. I'm calling it now, Deadlock is going to be another Artifact.
manufactured term “marijuana”
In accordance with my initial point that it's a racist law to keep it illegal, I'll use cannabis from now on. Reading the history of the usage of the term "marijuana/marihuana/mariguana".
It's funny how we try to regulate a plant, yet the term cannabis could be referring to industrial hemp or the dankest highest THC concentration cultivar possible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_(word)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_sativa#Cultivars
Broadly, there are three main cultivar groups of cannabis that are cultivated today:
Cultivars primarily cultivated for their fibre, characterized by long stems and little branching.[21]
Cultivars grown for seed which can be eaten entirely raw or from which hemp oil is extracted.
Cultivars grown for medicinal or recreational purposes, characterized by extensive branching to maximize the number of flowers.[21]
A nominal if not legal distinction is often made between industrial hemp, with concentrations of psychoactive compounds far too low to be useful for that purpose, and marijuana.
One of the best decisions I made was deleting my Facebook. I really mean that, one of the best decisions in my entire life. Not getting sucked into the absolute bullshit fest that greedy shit fuckers like Mark Zuckerberg set up for humanity is extremely relieving. Don't compare yourself to other people, you be you, just try to be your best self, it's worth it. Don't let the billionaire leeches of society take everything from you, fuck Facebook.
Another step closer to getting an orange criminal as president from 2025 to 2029. What an absurd joke. Don't make the majority feel like their voice isn't being heard for too long, it's never a good idea to do that.
Nah. There's no way the orange man would get more than 4 years. If he tried, we would see a nation wide shut down, the riots would be beyond anything we've ever seen in this country. The people with money know they wouldn't make more money trying that, so it won't happen. Biden is already helping them enough.
Nailed it. Sick and fucking tired of hearing the "oh China's unfair subsidies blah blah" bullshit. The US has been doing the same thing, just we've had our futures sold to corporation's profit margins.
I tried switching to Wayland on Mint, it did not go well. Unfortunately I do not care to follow an hour long guide to figure out how to get it to run games properly.
How do you suggest producing a significant amount of thrust in a vacuum using the sun?
Oh no she said a bad word... STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL
Source? Look at how well Aldi is doing right now in the US. People are being more conservative with their finances. It should be more expensive to buy processed fast food.
Yes, it is a good alternative IF you take part. Don't be a lurker, post stuff, cause friction, create interesting discussion even if you know you may get downvoted for bringing up things people don't want to talk about. Reddit is a censored pile of gatekept shit, don't ever waste your time commenting on there.
He doesn't need to thank us, he deserves our thanks for fighting against fascism. Some of the best money the US has ever spent. Now, redirect all money from Israel to Ukraine.
This is actually what the Nazis did during WW2. Russia is a fascist dictatorship.

If you're poor and you exploit a loophole you receive a felony theft charge. If you're rich enough you receive no repercussions and possibly a bonus.
The fact that the only Nays were Republicans speaks volumes. The Republican party has been compromised by Russia, it's the only explanation that makes sense.
I'll never forget what the Democratic party did to Sanders. Hillary gave us Trump.
Aldi is great. Walmart has been robbing small towns in America without competition for long enough. I hope more Americans shop at Aldi and save more money while getting healthier food at a fair price.
The enshittification is very real and is spreading constantly. Companies will leech more from their employees and users until things start to break down. Acceleration is the only way.
For anyone who needs a reminder: user account ≠ human individual user. There are no bot/captcha protections nor IP restrictions on Lemmy. I'd say we have less than 1 million actual human individual users.
Great, now stop all money and weapons to Israel entirely. Every day Biden doesn't do this we get closer to a criminal orange man as president.
The NYPD is one of the biggest gangs in the US. They get paid the best, by those they don't protect of course.
Anyone who still uses Twitter/X is an actual fucking moron.
There is no "long-run" for the Republican party. Haley isn't even a Republican at this point, she's just the non-Trump pick. The Republican party is becoming the Trumplican party. The two party system is shaking a bit.
The lack of safety net is a feature of late-stage capitalism, not a flaw.
Holy shit this had me laughing hard. Someone paid $3k for that shit? 😂
This is what happens when you let billionaire leeches like Elon make decisions rather than real engineers.
This is yet another massive sign of an oncoming recession in the next 6-12 months. Inverted yield curve, more part time jobs, layoffs, commercial real estate collapse, etc.
Stainless steel cookware is cheap, easy to clean, and extremely durable. Nonstick pans are for people who don't know shit.
Thanks Reagan, still waiting for it to trickle down you fucking liar.
I'm already here.
This wouldn't even fucking matter if there weren't 2 senators per state. The only reason anyone gives a shit is because senators in the US hold an insanely disproportionate amount of power in the government.
Our entire economic system is out of balance, debt is rampant in the midst of late-stage capitalism, and they come up with the term "money dysmorphia". 🤡
Yea that's how the 1% wanted it to be, they got it.
You can't claim to be an environmentalist and be anti-nuclear energy at the same time.
“This issue was not directly caused by a cybersecurity event; rather, it was caused by a third-party provider during a configuration change.”
Sounds probable.
I agree, let's end subsidies for the industries that are fucking up the climate. Fuck all the weak snowflakes who don't want to change their meat consumption. How hard is it to not eat beef? Not hard, people are just weak. So hit them in the wallet then, if that's what it takes.
Is this a joke? He won without the popular vote in 2016, that already happened.
