It’s more like the trade federation from Star wars, a conglomerate of people using money power to sway international relations of governments. They were never about peace, but the are about taking what they want when they want

I agree, but maybe we underestimate the youth, and we are still the melders of their understanding… Thus it may be best to embrace the abnormalities and discuss what we feel pertinent. If the heart of socialism is at understanding the value of people and treating them properly… Tearing them down for making jokes in a time of terror gets us no where. So I figure, support; joke. And be there. If one asks, answer. Don’t preach. Enlighten don’t breach. The world’s fucked… But if my last day is to make anothers day better, that may be all I can do

So woke is 6 7

I wasn’t 100% who she was, but I thought she looked like the woman from Euphoria. (I get what you were saying, I just figure it may give context to some people that didn’t recognize her right away)

Route all their traffic to the library website would be comical. Then punch a hole through parental settings so when they think they found a hole, they wind up back to checking out a book.

I shouldn’t ever have kids, might seem comical to me at the time, but manipulating people for jokes can’t be good long term

“Remove from Homescreen” “Delete App” Is what I saw recently when helping an older person remove an app from their iPhone.

They are trying to make it as easy as possible for people, but I guess that doesn’t help much when you are trying to subvert someone with authority over you… Cause then you get into child accounts and screentime settings apparently.

They have gotten pretty robust now.

10 years of talking about a healthcare plan, and it is a single page with not much to go on.

It’s like he had someone list talking points for a speech, where they would avoid any questions about how they planned to bring down the costs other than, “have them list their prices and claim denials.”

What kind of classes? Shooting? If so I’d say shooting won’t help much unless you have a community response to those threatening you. It just gives ammunition to those calling the American population dangerous, and trying to break them into groups so they can exploit hatred and fear. I believe that standing by all “groups” no matter what is what needs to happen. When someone tries to divide to conquer, the best answer I can see is avoiding any divides. The problem is it works on so many people, that about 30% of the country agrees that they have enemies in the country. Yet those people they think are enemies… Are no one they know, and would take as a friend if they were their neighbor.

Edit: that’s said as someone taught to shoot when I was 8 and has owned guns from 18, I’m 36. Guns aren’t the answer without community

Sadly I’m hoping they do it so Musk will poor money into allowing side loaded apps in Android and iOS permanently

Life is truly so unfair when it comes to kids. Like you seem to have thought all this out, and even have blood tests to monitor shit. Then there are people like me who was crossing my fingers praying that I wasn’t the tiny percentage that would end up with a pregnancy after even using a condom and/or using other birth control measures. I applaud your efforts, I hope you find everything you wish for when it comes to having children. 17-25 I just remember being worried all the time.

Or just cut the insurance companies out all together, put the funds into an account to provide healthcare for those in need, and then demand the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies make their prices reasonable or we ignore their patents and allow other companies to make their drugs and sell at competitive prices. (The government making our own generic versions wouldn’t hurt competitive pricing either).

it might be in the best interest of the United States (as a citizen myself) to vote that the U.S. become a part of Denmark with a 5-7 year hold on voting rights to any changes to current tax law or healthcare laws. 5-7 years from now hearing you will pay $600/month for healthcare to vote in U.S. conservatives with no actual benefits may teach some people something.

Looking at responses to this makes me feel we should start making pro dictatorship pro democracy tallys. Right now we have sh.itjust.works falling just behind lemmy.org as being the largest supporters of dictatorship. With 0% of lemmy.org so far believing the president of the United States legally cannot convict someone of crimes.

Judge Harris clearly had the authority to, uhh… Um. Well stop bringing reason to the conversation. Biden should have just acted like a dictator so we didn’t have a dictatorship!.. Wait ugh why doesn’t any of this work?

On paper it still says that, in practice Canada, Mexico, Brazil and near everyone else in the west trades with Cuba, and the U.S. hasn’t stopped trade with them.

Should the U.S. say that, no. But by no means has the U.S. stopped trading with China, Spain etc.

My first search was how much we used a day, and it came out to be 2-3 days. I’m sure it won’t be the last seizure we see, it’s going to be a rough year again

Me: imdb movie name… thinking it will save me a second.

“Click the stop signs”

Me: fuck it, I really didn’t need to know if that actor was also the one who played in other movie.

We were trained into saving time with search engines, now I have to remember to not use them and just type in imdb.com and then use their search function

But didn’t we say we could win against 100 duck sized horses. So 5 horse sized ducks and I don’t think we have a chance

So the U.S. government telling the U.S. population they can’t do dealings with Cuba is like attacking and abducting a head of state and taking over their industry how exactly?

If I think your comment could be in a script that Kevin Bacon would have accepted at any point in his career I upvote it.

If not, I ignore it.

If it mentioned Kanye in a good light, I downvote
