No, any rational people that stumbled over there left immediately…
I know, I was one of them.
It wasn’t like that at Lemmy when I first joined, but with every passing day it feels more and more like a Voat,
That doesn’t make any logical sense, even with your caveat.
And no one seems to want to do anything about it.
What do you want someone to “do” about it?
Ban everyone you don’t like?
Make your own instance, do what you want. If people want that, they’ll join.
Voat
…
The place that the first /maga reddit sub tried to go, but got ran off for not being racist enough?
That place was always a shit show and one of the worst places online.
Let’s not paint Lemmy as a whole based on .ml
Id argue anyone that doesn’t have that instance blocked are in an echo chamber and are fully aware of it.
It’s hard to argue anyone doesn’t immediately recognize what that is.
in the weeks after taking it
Compared to how long 18 years takes…
A draft would be a civil war, especially if they set it at 42.
Nobody would fucking go, and we’d see ICE agents used to round up anyone “military aged” starting in poverty striken neighborhoods and eventually expanding.
trump’s dumb enough to try it tho, so we’re probably gonna find out.
The waiver was rubber stamps anyways.
They give them out for almost anything, I knew a guy that got one for being forced into being a child soldier in South America before coming to America and joining our military.
And he was already out of bootcamp by the time he got the waiver because his recruiter told him not to mention it to anyone till after lol.
Yeah, but OP doesn’t personally suffer…
Yet.
But if OP is convinced everything is fine, they’ll never stop it from getting worse.
And eventually they’ll transitions from “us” to “them” in the eyes of the government and police.
They’re in that lazy compliance stage fascists support.
You do realise that “not being afraid of the police” is actually the norm in most developed democracies, right?
You do realize that perception doesn’t match reality, right?
People not being afraid of police, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be. Just that they haven’t had a personal reason yet…
Which is why no one will name one of these mythical places where police are helpful and not a danger.
Because if you did, anyone could explain what you’re not noticing.
On some level, people realize that, or someone would have given one of the “many developed democracies” as an example.
But then again, our cops are friendly, helpful and nonviolent
I’d say it’s a lot more likely that you’re not aware of what happens in your super secret country you can’t disclose.
It’s a pretty safe bet:
If someone thinks their country is perfect, their country is just good at propaganda.
Because even people who live in the “best” countries have complaints.
You’re talking about doing an activity to enhance the drug.
Pick an activity you enjoy and can safely enhance with the drug.
The reported incident had drawn attention because Diego Garcia lies 4,000 kilometers (2.485 miles) from Iran, double the 2,000-kilometer limit Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Tehran had deliberately imposed on its missiles.
That self imposed limit was so US wouldn’t have an excuse to strike, now that they have, it’s unlikely for Iran to continue to abide by it.
But it’s also completely unrealistic for them to get one so fast or to risk having it prior to the recent war.
The fact that it’s just Israel making this claim and NATO/UK not backing up does make it likely to be a ruse Israel is using to try and drag more countries in.
Lol, right before it cuts off it’s says:
Much of the data is speculative
If you get rid of all the speculative “data” AI companies keep pushing, the actual data that’s left says it’s not worth what anyone is paying and there’s no feasible way to make it profitable.
Every company that actually cuts workers for AI, loses money and has to hire the workers back.
Maybe someday it could replace workers, but investing in it before then is just lighting money on fire, once investor class realizes that and stops investing in it, it’s going to crash the whole house of cards.
Yeah, meant magazines.
I’ve never seen an ICE with an AR, but a lot of them carry spare AR mags anyways
Most kids still pay for the shitty standard cafeteria lunch tray…
Sometimes in later in like highschool they’re given more options. But it’s pretty much comes down to capitalism.
The vast amount of parents won’t pack a lunch and will never even see the quality of food.
What’s fucked up is healthy food is actually insanely cheap at that scale and dependable need. We’d spend just as much feeding kids a healthy high protein/fiber low sugar/fat meal as we do giving them ultra processed garbage.
There just would be profit margins for contracting companies if we did that
Likeost things in America, no system is designed to be the best or most efficient at anything other than making money. Anything that doesn’t make money, the wealthy are constantly trying to privatize.
That’s the whole “late stage capitalism” thing people always say.
Mac-L-more
So if you mean “el” like “el tigre chino”, then that’s correct. “L” just eliminates confusion.
I have no strong feelings about him as an artist
He makes super upbeat and stupid music 99% of the time, but he’s got a lot more artistic credibility than most.
Can’t remember if he was wealthy before music, or was just unsigned and smart about his money. But dude will at least stand by his principles even when it costs him money.
In the pics I saw of today, they were unmasked and about 50/50 had guns, some even had AR maga mags despite not having an AR.
That being said it’s almost a guarantee people would take pictures when they see a gun so that may be over represented in the pictures.
The World Cup is gonna be a shit show
so what can they realistically even use it for so much?
Burn money on AI tokens so it looks like AI could be profitable some day so people keep investing in AI companies that can then buy Nvidia chips…
You’re thinking of it like “how can AI make a better product”
They’re looking at it as “how can we sell more chips”
Two very different questions with very different answers.
It’s a house of cards and Nvidia can’t afford to acknowledge no one wants AI or knows how to make it profitable.
It’s worse, they want to change the global economy to corporations paying corporations…
The total elimation of actual consumers, because none of us will be able to afford to consume enough.
AI companies need people to pay for AI to keep buying Nvidia chips. So Nvidia is making their employees pay for the AI so AI companies keep buying Nvidia chips.
It’s not a sustainable system, it’s just a money churn whose only purpose is to consolidate wealth.
He might be five inches taller than trump really is, but that would put him at 6’4"ish.
Not the unbelievable 6’7" that’s 5 inches taller than trump’s fake height.
There’s a very real chance trump doesn’t know he lies about his own height so in his orbit everyone adjust so his 6’2" height can be rationalized. It explains why he can’t believe celebrities/athletes whose real (or close) height is well known.
They dont play trumps adjustment game, so in his head it doesn’t make sense they’re so much bigger.
When I played sports in college did the opposite when out at bars. Every guy shaved 4-5 inches off our height because we were tall enough someone would ask. And any guy not in on the joke would lose their shit because it looked like they were lying.
