Yeah. He was clapping back at trump and the republicans a lot which helped boost him to run. Pretty popular. Then he got elected and suddenly started aligning with the republicans on some issues. The consensus since then (at least on Lemmy) is that brain damage causes conservatism.
…the government doesn’t have any right to tell me that I have to feed my kids
Would work better.
AI bots.
Not the rest of them.
Wooden is a good way to describe her.
The old people liked the predictability of the system, the comfort in the known. Even if it sucked, and the version they have in their heads doesn’t really remember the hardships. That’s true today for a lot of the people that miss the “good old days”; they forget everyone that died of polio, the institutionalization or beating of non-normative people with autism or adhd, the racism, homophobia, all the people that never came home from wars or did so broken…
Yeah. People are really strange like that.
We got lulled into thinking everything was going to be fine. Then we got whacked with all the tech outsourcing, dot-bomb, 9/11…etc. but at least we had cheaper college first and that gave us a foot in the door without as much of the crushing college debt that millennials got.
communist authoritarian dictatorships
Nobody has done real communism on a national scale. One of the damndest things done by the cold war was allowing the US to convince anyone who would listen that the USSR was actually communism and socialism. It was authoritarian, kleptocratic, tyrannical, dictatorial…anything but actually letting the people have actual control and benefits from their labor in any form other than on paper. I’m not arguing for communism in any way, nor do I want to split hairs over differing methods of applying communism, but to call any version of countries claiming to be communist as actually communist is crazy. They’re all authoritarian dictatorships.
There’s renovation in keeping with the intent and history of the building, and then there’s trump’s ostentatious and tacky design preferences.
I’m curious as to why.
Actual health concerns like heart palpitations, drinking a diuretic, or difficulty sleeping? Heck, just want to kick the caffeine addiction or cost?
Sure. Good idea to quit.
Quitting because of some bullshit misinformation like a colon cleanse or something? Whatever. (FTR coffee may offer some protection against colorectal cancer).
60 Minutes finally found their spine? They’ve been barely tolerable for a while now with poor reporting. Looks like getting attacked personally was what it took to hit back with actual accuracy.
Funny that they equate “businessman” to “liar, cheat, thief”, yet continue to idolize businessmen like Musk.
They do.
However the flyovers and other military displays during sporting events were originally done as a recruitment tool.
An advertisement for the military.
It has nothing to do with deliberately planning flight hours for pilots, the hours are a secondary benefit.
AFV edited the shit of its show. People didn’t get hurt, there were no politics, it was silliness and “family” entertainment.
Jackass was all about stupid humans hurting each other or themselves. But they didn’t imply or tell you to engage in the stupidity.
The social media tools today are actively and willfully destructive. Doesn’t matter if it’s telling outright lies about politics or the sciences, or “challenging” people to do risky or damaging things.
Yeah, stupid humans have done stupid things since forever, but now they’re paid to do it and encourage others to do so as well.
Some garish, tasteless, gold shit everywhere.
I post this to mock the premise of the whole thing, especially the part where he’ll “pay for it himself.” The only thing he pays for is sex, lawyers, and bribes.
Meh. The churn of brain rot on social media platforms has become so desperate I don’t even try to figure it out anymore. Too many vainglorious famewhores all trying to coin terms or “challenges” making it a massive churn of ever-shifting garbage to steer views their direction.
Hitler did the same shit. He went after the communists. Know what the communists were agitating for? Worker’s rights.
So release the messages. Not that it matters what they said, absolutely nothing will happen except clicks for whoever reports on it.
The only places I’ve found that take USD are really poor places that really want USD, and maybe Mexico. Even some of those places will really take advantage of the exchange and you get way less than what the USD is worth if you just pay with USD.
I travel all the time and tourist locations, barring the ones I mentioned, don’t want anything to do with handling USD when tapping a card or phone to pay is vastly preferred.
