It’s not for the bullshit reason he said, he’s probably realizing his meeting with Zelenaky was a trap to make him look like a child who takes orders from Putin.

If he’s not that self aware, he’s just mad that other countries are supporting Ukraine and wants them to stop.

But just because trump says ______ is the reason he did something, doesn’t mean its more than an excuse.

Just because you make an argument, doesn’t make it true

Mate…

I “made an arguement” that it wasn’t just Nazis that did this …

And used an example of people who were not Nazis doing it to show that …

And you accused me of saying both groups are the same.

After I literally said:

Obviously the people saying “Luigi was right” and the Nazis are different.

You felt the need to say almost verbatim the same thing back to me like it was something I didn’t know.

There’s not an easier way to explain this, I’m sorry but I’m not helping you anymore.

Obviously not, which doesn’t matter because the behavior isn’t unique to either group:

It’s not even a Nazi thing, it’s a human thing.

I thought that by stating that nice and clear in the beginning would prevent confusions like yours, but I forgot some people read something and instantly forget it.

.world defeterated with a couple of other instances accusing them of being tankies

Worth pointing out that those were very few who had little activity, and they’re still federated with lemmy.ml despite a pretty big portion of users not wanting that.

To make it sound like .world is missing a large volume of posts is just disingenuous

It’s insane to me

How?

This isn’t the first time, won’t be the last time.

It’s not even a Nazi thing, it’s a human thing.

Reddit said you can’t say “Luigi had a good idea” so idiots try to find the furtherest they can take it without repurcussions, and when they face repurcossions they screech that their free speech was violated because they were dog whistling to advocate for murder

So people get banned from reddit for it, and come here and they’re *still stuck on trying to find the line in every situation so they can put their toes on and screech “freeze speech” like teenagers playing the penis game.

Obviously the people saying “Luigi was right” and the Nazis are different.

But it’s the exact same human instinct to push boundaries and see what they can get away with, then claim innocence when faced with consequences. Little kids do it constantly, and with our education system lacking on critical thinking since No Child Left Behind, people aren’t learning the critical thinking to internally make the call on what’s ok, they just try shit and see if there’s negative consequences. That’s all that matters: can I get away with saying this.

We just saw it on a national stage where trump kept talking about tarrifs on Canada, he wanted them to engage in a bad faith conversation about fentanyl while his tarrifs were active and free of consequences. Instead Trudeau finally ovaried up and hit back with retaliatory tariffs.

trump got consequences and he’ll stop. But if there wasn’t he’d have kept pushing it.

Yeah, one of the rare episodes with a lot of Bullock in it.

I dunno if it’s because they can only afford so much of Sir Patrick Stewart’s time, or if he just doesn’t want to do a lot

But I’m still amazed every season he’s still doing the voice.

Are you asking why the USSR didn’t send a missile to blow up the US moon lander on the moon? What purpose would that serve?

Fun fact:

In 1969 the US had a plan to nuke the moon, just to show Russia we can.

An Aussie rapper made a song about it.

Okay, and? I fail to see the part where another country’s welfare is your problem, Israel

It’s a lie…

They do not have food because even under Biden aid was cut off for bullshit reasons.

Even after everyone found out that what Bibi said about UNRWA was bullshit propaganda, Biden and the majority of both parties just ignored it and never reinstated aid.

Like, you’re operating under the assumption that everyone isnt just fucking lying about shit because no one holds them accountable.

Hell, it’s almost a certainty at least one person will get mad I pointed Biden and Dems are fucking up too

But if both groups of voters refuse to hold their own accountable, the result is no politicians is ever held accountable again.

I hate people can even try to blame AI.

If I typo a couple extra zeroes because my laptop sucks, that doesn’t mean I didn’t fuck up. I fucked up because of a tool I was using, but I was still the human using that tool.

This is no different.

If a lawyer submits something to court that is fraudulent I don’t give a shit if he wrote it on a notepad or told the AI on his phone browser to do it.

He submitted it.

Start yanking law licenses and these lawyers will start re-evaluating if AI means they can fire all their human assistants and take on even more cases.

Stop acting like this shit is autonomous tools that strip responsibility from decisions, that’s literally how Elmo is about to literally dismantle our federal government.

And they’re 100% gonna blame the AI too.

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t claimed DOGE is run by AI yet

seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it’s designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results.

Everyone views their own intelligence as “average” even if they consciousnessly know it’s significantly higher/lower than average, we’re our own frame of reference.

So for some people AI seems just as smart as an average person, those people are really hyped for AI.

Other people think AI is shite, but are starting to doubt if something is AI or just an idiot.

I know there’re a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day?

It’s how bell curves work.

As more and more people leave reddit because it’s shit, the people making it shit don’t notice and become a greater percentage of users. So it gets shittier and a new group realizes and leaves.

It’s how social media circles the drain, Facebook and Twitter are examples of where it’s headed.

When it adjusts to the new lowest common denominator, that makes people leave, and lowers the denominator.

History being made. The US showed its incapability to negotiate and discuss.

Uh…

That’s kind of been business as usual for decades now over here

$19 strawberry is insane…

The fact that it’s imported from Japan at that price is just dumbfounding.

Like, there’s no way it can be better than the same variety grown locally and eaten fresh.

They’re probably flying these fucking these over to still be “fresh”.

Just setting their money and our planet on literal fire for social media flexes.

Really?

So the reason they tried to start a national movement to vote Republican when it was Obama…

That wasn’t the progressive policy he was campaigning on?

I thought that’s what it was, if not, why do you think a bunch of boomer “moderates” just could stomach voting for Barrak Obama?

What charestic besides policy stances do you think made them go Republican, assuming you’re right they’d have voted for Bernie.

The truth is, if Bernie was the candidate we wouldn’t have needed them, just like we didn’t need them for Obama

As far as I can tell there’s just this one dolphin who’s been seen doing it.

I mean, how many do you need?

It’s not exactly an ethical study to go around plugging blowholes and seeing how many live…

In the example of one who could, it appears the dolphin had a narrow blowhole (reminiscent of Hank Hill’s urethra).

But just like Hank could still pee, the dolphin could still breathe somewhat thru the narrow blowhole as evident by the barely noticable water spout.

That would have resulted in the dolphin surfaces more and for longer times, which probably gave him the opportunity to learn how to breathe thru its mouth.

Maybe not all can do it.

Not all humans can close off their nasal passage, that’s why some people have to wear nose plugs when swimming.

I have to pop my ears all the time, because of that I can close my nasal or throat passage on control, other people learn to do it for other activities…

But every single dolphin could be capable, just no reason to learn.

And in the (at most) 5 minutes it would take a dolphin to suffocate from a fucking eel clogging it’s blowhole just ain’t always enough time.

We have no idea how often it happens and the dolphin lives, or dies.

We do t have enough data to be making hard claims, and no one is torturing enough dolphins to find out.

At the time the party split because a majority of the party thought Jimmy Carter was moving too far right and they were worried where it would lead…

And by some weird trick of history, Carter is know widely remembered as the last great progressive Dem…

The Overton window moving right has been a huge problem for a very very long time.

Dolphins can breathe thru their mouths tho.

There’s been some with damaged blowholes who have to resort to that.

What they do normally is like when you can “block” the connection of one or the other so air only goes thru one path. No idea how to describe that, or if other people can do it tho.

But if a dolphin needs to they can breathe thru their mouths just fine.

US federal law to make the switch to Metric was decades ago…

It’s just they never I cluded language for when states have to change.

That’s why the federal interstate markers say KMs along with MIs.

Not sure what the loophole is for still putting only miles on exit signs, but technically the US has been metric for a very long time.

Oddly enough, it was a Republican (Ford specifically) who it happened under.

There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible

Yep, I’m not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there’s really not many of us

But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.

there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job.

I’ve fired federal workers, it’s just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.

Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.

Not everything gets to the supreme court.

Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.

There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.

Because of the union.

That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.

Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…

Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.
