I mean it’s not like we all have access to the Internet and can verify these numbers at any time.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Biden chokes up while talking about deceased son and Trump's disparaging remarks about service members234·1 year agoBecause it’s not that high. 34,144–71,544k military casualties and 103,160–113,728k civilian deaths during the entire 8 years 8 months.
That includes fighting extremists like ISIS and deaths caused by Iraqi security forces (post Saddam) who also have the most casualties on the coalition side.
Many more died due to extremists groups like ISIS outside of the war. If count that then maybe you start to creep up. But I don’t think it makes any sense to blame the US for what ISIS and other groups did.
To add on to that the invasion phase itself caused 30k military deaths and 7k civilians.

I have personally RMAed 3 mouses for double click issues and replaced the switches in my current mouse. Hardware is bad.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Who all is out there, setting different sensitivities for X and Y on their mouse settings? Does anybody actually do this?15·1 year agoDon’t try it. You will regret it when you play the 90% of games that don’t let you set both.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Joe Biden and Kamala Harris release their latest tax filings, predecessor Donald Trump declined to disclose such records25·1 year agoIt would be one of the most impactful pro worker thing the government could do right now. So it won’t happen:(

We can easily match it. That’s a lie. We have enough reserves to hold us over until factories spin up.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Hollywood writers went on strike to protect their livelihoods from generative AI. Their remarkable victory matters for all workers.43·1 year agoBecause the source of entertainment matters less then you think.
Plenty of artists are using ai to augment their workflow and I believe that will be the future for art.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•FDA head calls on Congress to pass mandatory testing for lead in food03·1 year agoWe don’t even have that yet. If I understand this article correctly it requires food manufacturers to test not the FDA.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools216·1 year agoI mean it’s the only viable alternative. And it’s unquestionably that Microsoft has been making Windows worse recently.
That said. I’m not convinced Microsoft is doing this to hurt users. I think it’s probably the correct assumption that they have seen a high number of crashes with 24H2 and these software packages.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Biden calls for ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza2510·1 year agoLol idk what fediverse you’re living in. This one strongly, strongly leans super far left. And not the left that likes Biden.
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?51·1 year agoI can get total ban but why a ban on amount?
cooljacob204@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Hillary Clinton tells voters to 'get over yourself' when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch2019·1 year agoI don’t think it’s fair to put Trump all on her. If we were to ask anyone 10 years ago if someone like Trump could win the presidency we all would have laughed. No surprise they tried to prop up an opposing candidate they thought was bad.
No Biden is not committing Genocide. Nor would Trump be.
Now the situation in Gaza might get much worse under Trump but the US president is not the one ordering around the IDF.
And now it’s the wierd conspiracy where Jews control the world. Very nice argument.
The reality is a lot more complex. You might be able to claim Biden is complicit but certainly not actively committing it.
It says that claim with a billion asterisk which blame every bad death on the war lol. And it’s very far out from the other numbers.
At what point is it also all the terrorists groups and militias faults?
