I’m very confused about your comment.

a) Is it not okay to use ‘big boy’ words? Do you disagree with the statement or just with the diction?

b) The second point you make has nothing to do with my comment. I’d have thought you accidentally responded to the wrong comment except for you pointing out ‘insular’. Why are these things relevant to the discussion?

Bottom right corner ok? Could use a face down there.

Lemmy does seem to have some insular thinking (just like all social media communities). Feels like you can actually have discussion and at least learn why people hold those views instead of just being chastised.

Eros Venus now, sasa?

“DOGE has fired 75% of the Ministry of Truth on Wednesday. The number of true facts is expected to decrease. Please plan accordingly.”

Yup! They can pay less too. They could pay nothing! Or they could not have this agreement at all. Lots of possibilities.

Seems pretty beneficial to everyone. EU gets more money to accomplish EU objectives at almost no cost. Swissy benefits from market access with less barriers. What is the actual value to each institution? That’s a tough question. What they found is a value that works for both.

I’ve known a fair amount too and they always over leveraged themselves. As soon as they had enough for another down payment they would purchase another property. It could have been a different strategy or situation than the landlords you know. To the landlords I knew having aapartment vacant for two months was a serious financial issue.

Most are absolutely living month to month, not out of necessity, out of greed. Most have taken out many mortgages and are just passing the monthly rent from tenant to bank. Why pay off a property when you can just use that money as a down payment for a new property?

Just wanted to add some clarity on the term Persian. Persian is an ethnicity, the majority ethnicity in Iran. So one could be Iranian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity), or Australian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity).

The operation was carried out by Mexico. US supplied intelligence, assumed location information. Characterizing this as the US murdering someone outside it’s borders is disingenuous and really just a false statement.

I think of it as outsourced intuition. It provides a first gut feeling response to the question based on what the Internet would say. That can be useful if you need a starting point. It very rarely should be an ending point.

Now this is the kind of content generation I was hoping to find when I came to Lemmy!

The lowest donation in that tier is 240k, they could and are probably giving more.

The US’s position of economic strength is so fragile too. Most of it is in the financial and technology sectors, both of which can be moved relatively easily because their value is in non-tangible things. China’s economic power is in manufacturing - being able to build tangible things. Factories are much more stable.

Same, I’m keeping my dual boot for one multiplayer game that I play to keep in touch with friends.

Very true, but as the movie says it’s a symbol. “Symbols are given power by people” and Guy Fawkes as a symbol is no longer tied to his historical actions. It symbolizes the character V, revolution, and the power of people to make change.

Please don’t fix it. I laughed so hard when I read it.

Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids sit at Lagrange points. Material found there is not counted in the ‘clearing the orbit’ criteria. They are in stable orbits caused by the mass of the planet in question, not in lieu of a massive enough body.

Angie Tribeca is a modern show version of this type of comedy. It is done phenomenally and I can’t recommend it enough.

Say that to OP’s face.
