Half or more of the accounts have a very clear agenda.

Everyone has an agenda; if this makes you uncomfortable, strengthen your critical thinking skills.

The desire for a neutral source is a desire to stop thinking critically about the information you consume.

I hope the devs take this seriously as an existential threat to the fediverse. Lemmyshitpost was one of the largest communities on the network both in AUPH and subscribers. If taking the community down is the only option here, that's extremely insufficient and bodes death for the platform at the hands of uncontrolled spam.

This is the only correct answer. Cars kill so many people it's absurd.

The judge's rationale is that he'd be victimized because of his appearance. If the justice system can't trust itself not to allow extrajudicial punishment by other inmates enough to give people the sentences they deserve, isn't that their fucking problem and not the victims'?

I think there should be a presumption that this is retaliatory

The story here isn't that Trump doesn't understand magnets, it's that he was transparently told to say something by a donor associated with John Deere and he fucked it up because he didn't understand it.

That's why they like to promote the message that the Democrats are inherently ineffective as a party. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy if they're never given real power.

Another way to look at it is that this starts to isolate medical finance from the rest of the system to lessen the economic shock of nationalizing healthcare.

They hate that Fetterman looks and dresses like the people he serves. Working class laboring Americans.

That's your reaction to the news of a politician discussing exterminating his political opponents? Really?

Lack of direct involvement? He showed up! He stole a riot shield! He maced people! He pushed towards breaking into the capitol!

It's not stupid, it is designed to criminalize political participation by anyone who isn't pro-putin.

The article was written by Andrew Hay, a Reuters journalist and a likely NewsGuild member. It's a legitimate question as to why he chose to frame the issue as the fault of strikers and not their intransigent bosses.

The quote is from Lori Rubenstein, executive director of a charity for film crew mental health support. It's a legitimate question as to why she believes that the people her charity serves don't have the unqualified right to seek better treatment at work by striking.

Christie is right, of course. Nearly eight years too late of course, since he helped create the monster.

The real controversy is that somehow Wapo and AP decided to assist a GOP operative in violating Virginia's revenge porn laws

Didn't think I'd see the "disabled people are just looking for attention" card being played on Lemmy but here we are.

Nothingburger. "Slightly radioactive" - literally half the planet is "slightly radioactive". We pump more radiation into the atmosphere by burning coal than we ever have by splitting uranium atoms.

He's a US Representative. He was asked under oath to disclose it under penalty of perjury. He committed a felony. What the hell is wrong with you?

Thomas has actually moderated since he was in college, when he would regularly harass interracial couples on campus. Then he went on to marry a white lady.

The cop immediately escalated the encounter. He had hundreds of opportunities where he could have not taken Cure's life.

A cop abused women? Color me shocked.

It's not that Americans are stupid. Any nation can fall into the same trap if we devolve control of our infrastructure to plutocrats who look down on the public.

It's the attitude that Americans are dumb and deserve our fate that's shared by the elite who make it their business to fuck over the most vulnerable of us.

Telling people to go back and read the nonsense you wrote doesn't make it sound less nonsensical, it's just nonsense we've read twice.

When my loved ones and I are being marched to the gas chamber I know I'll be thinking about whether or not we were charitable enough to the man ordering our execution back when he could have been stopped.
