For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.

One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It’s clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.
School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.
Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he’s banning from press conferences.
That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.
Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.
If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?
I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.
This Russian mole is so incompetent, he’s only now discussing what a good Russian mole would have done a month ago.
I mean, you are right, OP is only concerned about criticizing one imperialism power while downvoting anything that stands with Ukraine or criticizes Russia (how is OP coping with Putin literally praising the current US administration, I wonder), but this political cartoon isn’t wrong. It’s just missing the second page, where Zelenski gave them the finger while keeping the rare Earth minerals for the people fighting the aggressor.
Which is why they are such pals with Russian imperialism, who are also going after the same thing. Which is why Russia will still continue to attack Ukraine even after their NATO excuse has been disbanded.
Ah, so it’s not that they sell data, it’s that they share data in order to achieve commercial viability. I don’t sell items on ebay, I share them in a commercially viable way!
So three weeks to either suck up to the US until Russia snipes them off while the US does so as well. Trump opening up with wanting to acquire Greenland and Canada wasn’t him being mad, it wasn’t him being resentful, it wasn’t him being a strong man, it was always within the context of where Trump’s US along with Russia are positioning themselves now. Forget the bombing of Hiroshima, if a nuclear bomb got dropped in Ukraine or Europe, Trump and his followers would blame Europe and do nothing to help it. The US has gone from being schizophrenic bipolar to just being psychotic. COVID was a herald of the world that awaits them, people will get to decide if they follow it as slaves or die with some dignity, knowing that their legacy might be buried under a sea of lies.
Maybe, but it is also a social values problem. People have been raised to believe they are entitled to the wealth they’ve accrued, their society be damned. They got one or several houses? They can rent and are entitled to passive income with very little overhead while the rest of society increasingly finds it harder to make ends meet because they don’t even own their property. Have a lot of wealth? Just live off of the interest while inflation and lack of ways to make money for those belonging to the part of the economy not optimized to make as much money as possible get poorer.
Being rich after a certain threshold needs to be taxed. Hiding your wealth in investments and feeding a market only focused on maximizing profit needs to be regulated. How much property someone can own needs to be limited. MAGA is only possible because of the effort they spend to crowdsource the values of greed and narcissism onto their followers.
Expecting them to invest it back into their communities is expecting trickle down economics to work.

You are pretty much the case in point: Grossly stereotyping the alternative into a perspective only based on extreme prejudice with an ample amount of pet peeves projected from personal experience. Like, I was actually expecting to see at least one valid counterpoint, like how much corporate interests shit on and ransack OSS, or the inherent dichotomy between software maintained out of goodwill in an environment that’s increasingly defined by greed and intellectual property bullshit inside failing economies, but nope.
In another timeline, single celled organisms warning their brethren about how their use of calcification processes will result in contamination that lasts forever.
“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese
