Maybe this can help explain it https://youtu.be/FK4RHzNHZXY?si=f8lGXy11J7ID6Sll

Do you know what an analogy is?

There’s not a single “42” comment here… I am disappointed

Thanks!

Can you please provide a source for Biden repeatedly asking Congress to cancel the 2019 wall funds?

What you need is proportional representation like most countries have

I can’t really cancel Putlocker and it’s free and has every movie and show that are on the other streaming services.

So no.

I’m fine with calling it X. The Twitter brand had value, X doesn’t

I’m not a fan of Apple but saying that this radiation is akin to gamma radiation in some way its just ignorant.

Here’s a source for the radiation levels for everybody else: https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-disputes-french-findings-says-iphone-12-complies-with-radiation-standards-2023-09-13/

I can’t find a single source that ranks the US above Canada on quality of life. You got any kind of source for that that isn’t anecdotal?

Why are you arguing for Ukraine to forgive and forget the rapes and murders and to give up parts off their country to the perpetrators rather than arguing for Russia to go back to Russia?

I’m from Sweden, we’re among the best in the world at recycling. We have closed all our landfills and even import combustible trash to burn for energy (we clean the fumes extremely well).

Every time I see a discussion about trash anywhere in the world I get sad that people are so uninformed about what’s possible.

One Swedish company, Swedish Plastic Recycling, is currently building a recycling plant that will be able to handle ALL of the country’s plastic waste and automatically recycle almost all of the kinds of plastic there are.

This is even profitable if done right.

Sources upon request.

Why not both?

Edit: Didn’t see that it was also a question of which is the greater problem. Overlooking is the greater problem.

Ah, a fellow non-American who thinks that the punishment for rape and torture should be prison and not a fine.

We’re probably crazy though, right?

You probably should do that to preserve democracy and protect yourself and your country, but you’re not going to. Instead what you’ll see is them coming for group after group and first throwing them in prison and then concentration camps. You’ll try to debate them and vote them out while they methodically kill you, thereby increasing their power.

It’s the same pattern as always. If I were in the US I’d do everything to flee while I still could.

Lowering the quality of education is something that the right always does, everywhere in the world, when they come into power. It’s a long term investment for them to stay or get back into power.

Education level is strongly correlated with political leaning so it’s a smart move from them to attain their goals (which isn’t making the country better).

Yeah, I just checked it out and it’s not my cup of tea. It seems like I align with them on much of their critique on a lot of stuff but I’m not in support of their endorsements (like the CCP). I also don’t like those kinds of memes and find the blending of serious discussions and (what I think is) juvenile memes to be off putting.

I saw both the best (well argued and sourced) and worst (denial of Ughurs genocide and the state of Taiwan) comments on that instance.

I’m not going back there though, I’m too old and tiered to have those kinds of discussion in an environment that is hostile to opposing views on certain topics.

I’m not the person you asked but I’ll chime in since I share their sentiment.

The answer is no, not a single one. But that’s because I’m on lemmy.world and hexbear is defederated from this instance. All the shit talking I see about hexbear is actually making me more and more curious about checking it out to see if its true, because it might be that hexbear is just a reasonable leftist place that is strong and people talking shit about it are just right wingers or centrists who are trying to give hexbear a bad name.

I’ll probably check it out eventually when I’ve become curious enough due to people talking shit about it. It’s probably shit though, but I don’t know that.
