Yeah… I know. I adblock everything, I would never see it to begin with lol, unless it’s somewhere public and unavoidable. But I’m not really bothered about buying cookies from some small business. So long as capitalism exists (and I’m eager for it to not exist, but for now it does), I have to eat and regular people need to earn money.

You can’t exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.

Not necessarily, and even if so, there are so many more important things to be angry about

If this happens, I will buy hash oil, shape it into a fat old fascist, and dab the whole thing.

I think you might be right about approval ratings stressing him out though. How much people like him and how much money he has are basically the only two things he’s capable of caring about.

I don’t think even MAGA is voting for Vance lol, but maybe they will if the podcasts tell them to

They’re leaning more towards Tucker Carlson afaik. Which is concerning, because he’s the smart Christofascist I was originally worried DeSantis represented.

[citation needed], don’t forget to include the Civil War in the US’s figures. Let’s also go “per capita” to make it fair.

It wasn’t “about a fact”, it was about your framing of the fact. “Yeah China did this 30 fucking years ago while America has never stopped doing this over the last 30 years, these two entities are equivalent!” It’s less bad when white people do it, right?

I’m not pro-CCP for the record. I’m just realistic about my criticisms, like their restrictive social measures. There is zero doubt they are vastly less of an international menace than the United States.

Many Americans can barely read. AI can speak to you. It sucks here, I know lol

You had to reach back to 1995.

I can reach back to last week.

The point stands, sorry Sinophobe.

You never thought the country which bombs other countries and kidnaps their presidents would become more restrictive/authoritarian than the one which generally doesn’t?

Seems pretty predictable to me idk. People are so steeped in American exceptionalism mythology.

lemmy.ml moment

THEY’RE COOKIES FFS

Yeah but if you literally can’t afford to go to the doctor, you’ll take anything you can get.

Have you ever been in that position?

Yes, we should give no one an opportunity to change or learn from their mistakes. We must focus on projecting our own moral purity and superiority above all else, for there is no higher pursuit. Maybe we could come up with some phrases in Latin or something even.

It’s a small snack company stranger, not fuckin Palantir. I reflexively hate advertisements too, but given that I am occasionally forced to overhear them or god forbid witness them with my own eyes, I would take something human over something slop-generated any day.

Same, Honda CRZ (it’s like a Prius but it doesnt make you hate yourself) and I dont have any delay on quick-starting the engine.

It’s a hybrid but the electric part is just KERS, so I only fuel it up, I don’t charge it.

Fair, but women are probably more qualified

No. No use of AI, which unnecessarily pollutes our only livable planet and consumes our limited supply of freshwater, is “fine”.

You’re symping for the slop machine.

All use of AI is bad (except medical stuff if you’re just too poor to see a doctor - bad idea, but if it’s all you have access to, I won’t knock you for it) and any use deserves to be socially punished.

Something tells me you are not an authority on dating women.

“Yes because everybody knows how to think and learn things, yeah okay suuuure”
