Yeah, the fact that they’re all so anti-voting and/or “both sides”-y is why I think the root of most of the tankies’ thinking is Chinese propaganda. Like, just because you vote for someone doesn’t mean you are 100% aligned with everything they say. Or even 50% of it. Just means you’re more aligned with them than the other option. The only people who could possibly benefit from such a stupid mode of thought are part of authoritarian governments.
Ugh same. For me it’s that I can either have weed in my possession and get super high every day, or I can let my stash run out and go cold turkey. Only ever managed like 2 days stashing any THC product away without using it, and I thought about it constantly the whole time.
But on the bright side, as long as I don’t let myself buy more I can go indefinitely, no problem. I was going on 2 years without it until I visited family in California a few months ago and they offered me some lol
No, Ukraine’s survival is not good for American oligarchs and nowhere in the comment you’re responding to was that even vaguely implied
“Lemmy.ca” is so named due to it running the Lemmy software, in the Fediverse, and it’s geared toward Canadians, hosted in Canada, and run by Canadians. It is, however, not at all restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!
I don’t know what you’re trying to say
The aid we send to Ukraine is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of wealth we allow the ultra rich to hoard. Our wealth tax rates are already criminally low, and even on those the underfunded IRS fails to collect somewhere between $500 billion to a trillion every year.
Our lack of a public safety net has nothing to do with foreign aid, and everything to do with our corrupt government doing everything it can to entrench the oligarchy.
Edit, didn’t think to source it until after I commented, looks like I sort of misremembered an old politico article, which is kind of a shitty source anyway–but everything other than the exact numbers I mentioned is still true
Also, lumping Israel and Ukraine together as equally bad is ludicrous
Best I can do is one half of two eggs
I mean, they could disconnect it for you, but there’s still no way to know if it’s been transmitting data you don’t want it to in the meantime
There’s no way to know though…
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate calling a screenshot of Twitter a Reddit repost
A steadily growing portion of American education is about rote memorization instead of critical thinking because we tied testing to funding and true/false is easier to grade
Working would be a lot easier if the society I was contributing to didn’t hate me and everything I care about
I use flax meal in much the same way. Chia seeds have a knack for getting stuck in my teeth!
That’s be nice but the propaganda is such that they get to blame everyone else even when they’re in power. My bet is the worse they crash the country, the harder they’ll double down, and the more tolerance their base will have for them to do truly heinous shit to the groups they vilify (ie trans people and immigrants)
It’s not just economic globalization, but the global ecosystem’s food chains are already starting to collapse thanks to climate change, and our factory farming systems are becoming increasingly prone to virulent diseases wiping out huge crops of both plants and animals. I wonder what happens when food prices skyrocket because half our food supply has been contaminated, and at the same time inflation explodes thanks to plain ol’ financial mismanagement
Oh, I just saw she links to cs.rin.ru last night while looking for solutions.
Also, wasn’t being serious anyway
Obviously it’s because God gave you the gift of being able to browse the Internet effectively while doing the deed
On the one hand, oh no, not the fitgirl repacks!
On the other, I spent an hour last night failing to get my controller to work with her repack of Yakuza kiwami, so maybe it’s for the best…
I love spotting an ancient Julia Lepetit comic out in the wild
