  • Fellow American here. Do you strongly dislike Trump enough to stop funding his funders?

    It's a good sign you're on the fediverse. But where are you shopping? Walmart? Amazon?

    Unfortunately, it is nearly unavoidable to boycott Trump's funders entirely. But there alsovneeds to be a level of accountability for how we got here.

    We got here because we continued to support companies that dismantled our Democracy (Citizen's United). Those companies got the power because we chased the shiny things. We went for the lower price, ignoring the local businesses that charged a bit more but supported the local economy.

    We sat back while Democrats earned a reputation of not standing for anyone or anything (except Israel). Maybe we voted for the lesser of 2 evils, but we never demanded better.

    We're here, in our 2nd Trump presidency, with maybe the start of an answer in the DSA. But let's be real, civilized countries consider DSA policies as centrist. The DSA is our far left with any power, and it has shockingly little power considering how bad our politicians have been for years. I'm glad that Bernie ran in 2016, I'm glad that the movement built, and I'm glad that now we're finally starting to see DSAs make a name for themselves and get elected into real positions, but let's be real: if we were fucking sorry about Trump then the DSA would have had the power it currently has in 2018.

  • Hold up.

    You stated that Musk's bastardization of the greatest electrical engineering to ever live's legacy is untrustworthy.

    You then stated that the driver could have made a mistake.

    You then reason that both things voild he true at the same time.

    Your conclusion is that we shouldn't talk about this specific incident of the unreliable narrator, because we just don't know.

    Why?

    Is it because we don't have this conversation when other automakers have issues?

    The reason we don't is because the other automakers DO have the man stakes but they generally aren't unreliable narrators.

    Why? Because at some point the people said, "hey, no it's pretty fucked up what these companies are doing. We should demand more transparency and laws to hold these companies accountable."

    It worked so well that legacy companies like Honda recall their products when they're defective, 100k cars recalled this month.

    Consumers don't consistently question these companies because they generally do what's expected of them.

    Don't let a shady Nazi run company off the hook because other companies hold themselves to higher standards.

  • Yea, straight cis guy here. I once got kissed by a dude after I actively flirted with him for like 3 hours at a party once. Honestly, 10/10 best kiss of my life, objectively, but that's how I learned I was definitely straight. Sexuality very much isn't a choice.

  • Some Honda lines are made in Canada. Shares production with US and Mexico though.

  • I was an idiot that absent mindedly bought and ate a bigmac yesterday.

    Chat, how cooked am I?

  • Fuck, I needed this meme like 2 days ago, when my friend was giving birth.

  • When I was carless living in a food desert I found the easiest way to go grocery shopping was with a backpack.

  • No I dare not go to the gay for if I do my mother will say, "have you ever seen a jabrony riding a zambony, down by the bay?"

  • I've always said its better to invest in horse racing not the stock market, as its a more regulated market. Here's the proof.

  • I think I might've gotten the 2 movies mixed up, I always forget which has tail sex because they're both so long and boring.

  • Technology @beehaw.org

    Would it be possible to retool old transistors/electronics by filling in the increasingly larger gaps created by Moore's Law?

  • I'd be more comfortable exempting a Garmin on the premise that it can be used 100m than I would an Apple Watch, because they have marketed their products specific to individual sports.

    Apple has marketed their watch as general, everyday use. The average person does not dive 100m everyday.

    I acknowledge there is a slippery slope with my argument. And that it could lead to more electronic waste. But at it's core, not being abused by companies, the rule should be that it has to be proven necessary for its advertised use cases. Reducing unnecessary features is a good thing towards reducing waste.

  • Oh and the first one is Pocahontas but without the music and a sex scene where they use a tail and connect to Mother tree.

  • In the second one they swim with a whale underwater for like 1.5 hours and it's pure cinema. Then they fight the first boss but in a mini boss form.

    In the third movie my very pregnant fiance started having contractions because the pregnant lady gave birth while fighting the boss. The main boss transitioned to not quite the main boss so that in the next movie he can join the good guys because he couldn't kill his son.

  • In America we call it lobbying. Its totally different from bribes, bribes would imply that it's illegal and unethical, lobbying enables foreign agents to run our country, that's why almost all of our politicians are owned by Genocide Jamin Yahoo! It's a really positive and healthy system for our democracy, even our highest ranking opposition party member publicly announced that he serves Israel before the US. Bribes are bad, lobbying is good.

  • Why might it not be for me? It looks sharp!

  • “voting in elections or organizing revolution? this is a fake choice, neither lead to freedom. the only way to attain freedom is using linux.”

    That explains why since joining the fedi my cell phone has been slowly looking weirder

    Day 28: started looking for best way to share photos without google, settled on service needing end to end encryption, decided against self hosting solution after research (but still researched). Downloaded new keyboard and started looking into expanded version of fediverse, liking that w3 had something to do with it

  • All of this makes sense and you were dead on with assumptions! Thank you!

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Best way to share pictures with the fam?

  • Philosophy @lemmy.ml

    Is it better for a single family home renter to do the bare minimum lawncare, to do the most, or somewhere in between?

  • United States | News & Politics @midwest.social

    I started looking up party registration of my doctors and I feel my medical experience has improved.

  • United States | News & Politics @midwest.social

    Could the Lemmy platform be used to build a truly sustainable grassroots campaign for president?

  • United States | News & Politics @midwest.social

    JD Vance is either transsexual or worse at security than Hillary Clinton.
