Well I was leaning GOP but if Bernie is urging me I guess I’ll switch

Felt like it was right on the cusp of greatness. The NX refit would’ve been like Riker growing his beard

I remember when it waa official that he lost in 2020 there was spontaneous dancing the in street. The news kept showing live streams of empty COVID streets and then people starting going outside in their masks and dancing.

This time, it’s going to be a rager.

The future will talk in awe and condemnation about the scale of our beef consumption.

The amount of water it took to grow the feed they ate.

The amount of greenhouse gases it created.

The fact that the land use required was the size of north america.

The suffering that was required to inflict on the animals themselves.

They won’t mention data centers at all.

The fake online reality conservatives have created always falls apart on contact with reality

He’s just making excuses for why he failed in his negotiations.

There’s no way he ever gets reelected. The best he can hope for is lucrative speaking fees after 2028.

I agree that works for stuff like ‘don’t litter’. But recycling at scale is literally impossible and they knew this when they pushed plastics on us.

They suck, you can’t get air into them without destroying the noise cancelling part so you’ve got to constantly be taking it off to take a breath / running out of oxygen mid sentence

Their official concern (which I don’t believe is authentic, I think they just want to feel powerful) is that they’re worried that an invading force that reaches the steppe can just cruise through central Russia - which means they’ll need to draw a line from the Baltic’s to the black sea through Poland and Ukraine.

What Russia wants is to destabilize Europe. Russia is now more and more dependent on China. So… what does China want?

My personal opinion is that China and the CCP is primarily concerned with internal stability, undoing the century of humilation, and increasing ethnic homogeny through subjugation.

Long term I can see conflict between China and Russia over outer Manchuria, especially when the stresses of climate change begin to impact the Earth.

You’re confusing me, can you dumb it down

True, but clearly it feels like using them to conquer their neighbors would have negative results

Bitch McGoneNow

Both are arguing over the technical definition instead if the injustice committed. It’s exactly like that.

Ah, the Russian navy. Renown for it’s ability to eat shit and die.

Here’s the thing, barring a nuclear weapon I think Poland or Finland all by themselves could take Russia and there’s no one else really threatening Europe at the moment.

Trump also doesn’t respect placation, it just invites him to go harder. What he does respect is popularity and violence. He’s cool with Mamdani because the mayor is popular, he’s deferential to Putin because Putin projects violence.

If only there had been signs that could’ve warned us about him

I suspect lemmy users are less socialized thab reddit users

I am agreeing with you and no worries, I do the same thing lol

This is like when a Muslim family is attacked and the comments are all debating if racism is the correct term since Muslim isn’t a race.

It’s just muddying the waters, destructing from the crime and the victims, and providing cover for the wrongdoers.
