“Transgenic sounds pretty close to transgender, and our base is full of idiots - what if we say they are transgender mice and then do that thing where we double down and laugh at the replies of our critics to get more publicity because all our base cares about is the mob mentality of joining in on the circlejerk of acting better than them even though there’s no substance to back it up?”

It can, it just isn’t going to be as good. Fortunately for the EU, most of that intelligence was only useful for soft power covert diplomacy, which Trump has thrown into the garbage.

“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese

One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It’s clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.

School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.

Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he’s banning from press conferences.

That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.

I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.

Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.

Where do you pull these strawmen? When and where was this happening? Gotta love lemmy and the dedicated propaganda campaign to join with MAGA to make anything and everything Trump is now doing the fault of the democrats. The good ol’ Russian pincer, attack from both sides to prop up the party you want and make those uninterested in the party you don’t want.

Yes, obviously. He isn’t just being dumb with the Canada and Greenland threats, he wants to provoke the circumstances to invoke the Insurrection Act. It’s the easiest way to bypass midterms and elections. They know what they are doing is unpopular, they know they are only maintaining the veneer of having popularity. It allows political persecution of “traitors” and “propagandists”. They aren’t casually siding with Russia, Russian authoritarianism is their model. Hope Musk gets thrown out a rocket window to make room for someone more loyal and less overbearing on Trump, he’s unpopular enough on both sides that it might actually be considered good PR by Trump.

No, he’s not getting the money. Rather, it’s the private entities that will bribe him or give him money who will end up getting the better hand from the privatization of public property like these buildings and buying them up at a steal.

If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?

I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.

The biggest problem with the US is lack of proportional representation. Winner-takes-all elections have led to the inevitable outcome. It’s also why in Europe the propagandists are trying to push for the same system whenever they can.

I mean, you certainly argue like a MAGA.

This Russian mole is so incompetent, he’s only now discussing what a good Russian mole would have done a month ago.

Presidencies are over. The guy is literally trying to normalize calling himself king as well as anything that supports the shift into a personality cult authoritarian state. It will take time and the loss of liberties will be the only thing that trickles down exponentially. This transition is also being performed by idiots who can’t comprehend that there are other timers running out for our world, largely because they can’t discern it from the bullshit they spew, and those who can but just think it’s a good way to get ahead for when shit hits the fan.

This is it. This is it for the US. People still thinking that midterms aren’t going to be screwed over to deny a fair election are fooling themselves. Even if anything where to topple Trump, it is a systemic problem and one where all the major institutions have already been corrupted from the top. There is no getting back from this. There is no getting back from having to share a democracy with a cult and with people still being so indoctrinated by faux patriotism, power, and wealth that they won’t ever realistically consider seceding into like minded states - why, just imagine, how unpatriotic -gasp- .

The economy? Your social security? Your freedom? I don’t know how low it will go, but since most Americans only seem to care for themselves, to them, at the very least, they should expect to be cast off into a separate “lower class” if they ever shift to the wrong political association from now on.

Just in case people didn’t know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.
