Trump has helped your life as a member of the gay community?
And you are posting from .ml?
I'm curious, but on alert.

Isn't the average home price in California more than double the average of New England?
But my credit union is both more convenient and more secure than crypto.
I once had a Republican tell me he was, "black woke, not trans woke."
I told him I didn't know what that meant, and he said, "I don't hate people for who they are, but people can't just be whatever they want to be."
Cue the Nathan Fielder meme of him just saying, "oh... Okay."
People acting more terrified at the loss of tik tok from their lives than they did during covid, while losing people from their lives.
Tik tok might as well just change their name to empathy box, because they have convinced their users that the act of watching content on empathy box makes them more moral and politically aware than the rest of us.
At the end of the day, we have to be nervous when a foreign nation has content reach to 80℅ of Americans. This foreign nation is banning Americans from accusing it of genocide while allowing an economic incentive for Americans to accuse themselves and everybody else of doing it.
Deep down, every one of us knows tik tok is a power nobody can or should be trusted with.
Good.
Let's go further. Any company using an algorithm to profit off people's engagement has to publish the code.
This explains some things about Joe Rogan.
Oh man, you got in the van with them and were taken to a second location?
You are lucky you actually got speakers
I mean... If your goal is to end a genocide and you help get a guy who said "finish the job" elected, yeah, it is your fault.
Let us not pretend otherwise.
There are probably a lot of people you love who require healthcare who are depending on that can being kicked further down the road until you have an alternative.
I personally think we can support Palestine without throwing our trans and gay populations, our immigrants, and our leftists to the wolves.
I'm 100℅ in favor of breaking Facebook into 912 separate companies.
But not having the current political power to get that done doesn't mean we shouldn't do it to tik tok while we still have the power to.
I would personally reject this deal.
The Palestinian people do not deserve to live under the rule of Hamas. In 19 years of living under Hamas, after all the money given to them by the US, France, the UK, Qatar, Iran, and even Israel, the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.
Nahh, I would say 90% of us here will be voting for Biden.
Will some be stupid enough to vote for a Bobby Kennedy? Maybe? But I suspect a vast minority.
The person said we need to be intolerant of intolerance and you immediately jumped to targeting Jews as a reaction.
Why did you make that specific leap when nobody else here did, and what does it say about you that it doesn't say about us?
The only model of journalism that works is public funded/donated.
We need something similar for print media, that isn't just transcriptions of PBS/NPR segments.
A big issue here is that NPR/PBS sources a lot of their journalism from outlets such as Propublica or Bellingcat for national/international stories while relying on local affiliate stations to fill in the gap.
As local journalism dies, NPR and PBS have less places to source from. This is a big issue for democracy and something we need to solve.
Piracy doesn't take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.
Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.
God damn, capitalists can be so fucking stupid.
Biden has previously mopped the floor with Trump in 2 debates and already made Trump look like a coward for skipping a third scheduled debate.
I think revenge porn, whether real or just claiming to be real, is a hard limit for literally everybody on earth who isn't already engaging in that behavior.
Like, I really want to like the libertarian movement. I think there are some good ideas there, but the movement always returns back to this: the defense of sex crimes.
It just bugs me that this is the hill ya'll choose to die on, every single time.
Yes, you Russians will continue being the baddies.
I kid, I kid.
You made an offer likely knowing what content your mother consumed.
Also, doing this for her means those charlatans aren't actually getting her money.
Something to consider in favor of doing your mom a solid.
Just make sure you out satanic films in the folder and rename them to Christian themed titles.
I saw one while working, and yeah, they look even dumber and more useless in person.
80℅ of the world's soy market is animal feed.
Millenials were forced to go to Darren Group restaurants and Applebee's almost exclusively growing up.
Blocking advertising isn't what hurt them with millenials, it's an entire childhood of awful food.
A part of me feels like the .ml instance is working on behalf of meta and reddit to drive people away.
Obviously that isn't what is happening, but when one of the largest instances' user bases is turning every post into Palestine debates and allowing coordinated harassment against anybody who disagrees with them, clearly people are going to leave.
I think it is possible the guys sold you the decoy model.
As evidence that much of the movement is an explicit AstroTurf for the Trump campaign, I present article 1: this statement from a man named Juicy.
That is essentially the Adrian Deitman account. He is pretending to be a loser who is obsessed is pretending to be Elon.
It is really quite pathetic.
I would assume unconsensual porn itself is the issue, not the program.
Huh maybe they shouldn't have attempted to make their customers pay 3 times to play one game.
What are things I doubt anybody has said to you, for $600, Alex?
You had me until the last sentence.
You may now be my favorite parody account on Lemmy.
"Finally, a place for us straight men. Do you have a jukebox, because somebody plans to put on Bob Srgar's greatest hits.
The party holds socialists as well, although you guys do treat us more as hostages sometimes, lol.
Yes, the true racists are the ones who invited the blacks (replace woth any group at your will) to the dinner and broke bread with them....
Fuck off with that nonsense.
...radio is regulated and the government can't nor should be allowed to force media to play certain musicians.
Let us be real, if a law like that is ever enacted, it won't be to force country music listeners to listen to black artists, it will be to force black listeners to listen to Perry Como.
Had idea all around.
What exactly is racist about diversity, inclusion or equity?
This is the big issue: we as leftists complain that liberals don't listen to us, but when they actually adopt our language, we just accuse them of being racists.
Many left wingers are on the left solely because they hate liberals, and once they age out of protesting, almost always move to the far right. Seeing that you consider equity to be racist, I would say it is highly likely you have already began the rightwing creep and just haven't realized it yet.
Why is it that every time a Jew speaks out, somebody finds it the peak of hilarity to make this exact comment?
It doesn't do anything to foster dialog or up engagement on the site.
In the Seattle area, pretty much nobody brought back lunch service after covid. Finding a place to say during lunch time is pretty much limited to what's in the tourist areas.
Trump's base are the cryptofascists who do not hide the fact that they are coming for the gays.
Maybe providence didn't see fit to give you the choice of saving all Palestinian lives, but it certainly seems to be giving you the choice to save your own.
