That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅

These fucking Democrats are watching a dude successfully lie and bully his way into the presidency (not to mention that same playbook get adopted by the GOP in general) then think the answer is to be nice?

Newsflash, the voters on the other side aren’t going to be swayed by a “broadly appealing message,” I’d say an insignificant number of people could even be swayed to switch voting from the GOP / MAGA bastards over to the Dem sonofabitches anyways. So galvanized the troops, motivate people to vote and stop pussyfooting around.

Adopt the playbook that keeps working for your enemy, tweak it some sure, but stop thinking a milquetoast “we’re the nice guys” campaign will ever work. It’s failed so many times now, maybe learn a lesson?

This is Lemmy, we’re all yelling into the void here good fellow.

“oh the people who won’t do anything will keep doing nothing”

Oh shit whatever will I do with their feelings being hurt. Poor little fee fees. Fuck the people that sat out or protest voted or were dumb enough to pretend Trump actually would help bring peace anywhere much less to Palestine.

What are they going to do, be upset that they have to hear the truth?

Bro what, am I reading this wrong or is your premise that NPR doesn’t provide a service?

Because they absolutely do.

What do you want me to say, that it’s clear Russia continually violates ceasefire for the past 20 years of various nation states?

Like idk you can go find plenty of sources that say that I’m sure some won’t be in English but you’re not going to ever find something from Russia themselves that says “yeah we violated this shit”

Well the source is one of a number that document violations of the Minsk agreement. You don’t just need to read that one and it’s from 8 years ago I just grabbed it to show how long Russia has been ignoring their related ceasefire agreements. I think the source is relatively neutral but you are right it may have some bias, it’s about as neutral as English language sources come though.

I think this post may be off in interpreting or wording because Russia has had major violations of a number of treaties, notably recently the Minsk agreement but I think Zelensky is talking about 25 major violations not 25 separate agreements.

Regardless of all of that, Russia has a very long history of not honoring their truces and ceasefires and using them as a reprieve to beef up their military forces before continuing to fight.

Your French has been pardoned but fuck you too pal.

I think he’s mostly banking on what comes after Trump assuming our democracy survives. That and if there were Americans on the ground in the country it may be an effective deterrent against Russian aggression just to have American bodies there that could get exploded and bring the USA into a shooting war on Ukraine’s side.

That’s my take on it anyways. Plus it could potentially be beneficial to both countries if the USA were to actually play ball and not be dickheads. Ukraine probably, idk I’m not an economist/read up that much, does not have all the equipment and men and experience to exploit all their mineral wealth. Bringing in American contractors to help isn’t the worst idea, it just needs to be done right for it to make sense.

This isn’t disinformation unless you don’t believe Zelensky. Besides that, we’re talking about large scale violations.

If you go digging you’ll find literally 10s of thousands of violations, shit just look at this from 2017 https://osce.usmission.gov/on-russias-ongoing-violations-in-ukraine-12/

I suggest using a search engine.

You were just a couple that didn’t fuck or have romantic intentions with each other. Nothing wrong with having a really close friend like that.

But yeah … You sure you’re not just gay? /s

It’s almost like there’s this loud vocal minority that companies keep ignoring because they keep making money doing what they’re doing. Like if it wasn’t profitable and predictable I’m pretty sure publishers would stop what they’re doing.

When it comes to video games, idgaf if someone wants to give a game dev thousands of their own dollars because they want to pay an idiot tax.

It’s a free market, and we’re all free to just not play the fucking game. Actually that’s the default so just doing nothing is plenty.

I get what you’re saying but we’re not talking about groceries here, we’re talking about something that could literally cease to exist and aside from some folks maybe being out of work nobody would even notice or care. I do agree though that strong regulation is much better than expecting consumers to stop consuming something as long as it’s a necessary thing or something with quite inelastic demand (ie: medicine).

Oh man, enjoy watching the “don’t hug me I’m scared” series for the first time. It’s a good time, fair warning though that the show can be pretty unsettling so keep that in mind if you’re going to be in an … Uh … Altered state of mind 😉

Here you go, I’m sure there are more examples but you’ll have to be willing to go looking for them. Keep in mind I just pulled these from a Google search and I’m sure he has people working to suppress things as best he can.

Musk believes in racist ideology like the “great replacement theory” and more fun racist stuff in this article.

More current events and reminders in ho X as a platform promoted and still promotes Nazi crap.

No one gives a fuck what’s in their pants.

Doubt

Clinton is as racist as Trump and Harris is as evil.

You gotta be outta your goddamn mind to believe that.

People, the average American voter apparently, are just dumb as hell honestly. Like straight up I think the people voting for Trump just got brainwashed and live in an alternate reality because their media literacy and just … Comprehension of reality and complex topics … Is really really bad. That or they’re just actual shitty people who believe in his policies and opinions. I’m not sure which is worse.

Those Tapir teeth are so unsettling to see.

Nothing is bad about that, IF that was what was actually happening. Unfortunately, it very much is not.

I don’t have the time to go on explaining why upping taxes for everyone making under $500k isn’t catering to 99.999% of the population. Or how blowing up USAID and surprise Pikachu facing when farmers can’t sell their crops since they sold a lot to USAID (not to mention all the soft power USAID gets us and how useful it is to so many people here and abroad). Restricting access to news agencies is not “more freedom of speech” but rather suppression of it.

Idk you know there is a bunch more I could say but the reality is not at all what you’re painting with your comments.

Do I know that a Harris admin would be better for Palestinians than Trump and what’s happening now? Yes, yes I do.
