The first person to be the 28th President

I saw a video online by an "ex" CIA agent saying that the way the US spies on its citizens isn't through shady espionage like wire tapping and private investigators. The FBI merely goes to info corporations like Google, AT&T, Facebook, etc. and buys the user's information. I think that was an underlying goal of Musk's. He wanted the user info on people that were using Twitter for political purposes worldwide. The value of Twitter wasn't just it's monetary value, but the power that came with owning that information.

I think part of the joke is that it seems to me that some people think that even if someone is in a committed romantic relationship, it's okay to sleep with others until they're married because a committed romantic relationship is not official; it's informal. In other words, it's only cheating if they're married. Otherwise, it's fair game because it's not official.

Why does this person have a gun out??

I can understand when the topic is comparison, but my experience is that it seems that more often than not, the comparison is made even when not part of the topic. It could be some horrible news of a tragedy that occurred in the US, and rather than discuss the matter at hand, the comments are about how Europe is better. Of course they don't do that with other countries like Brazil, India, or Mexico. That's the point of the comment: to point out how ridiculous it would be, especially when a lot of the issues in those countries could be traced back to European colonization. But, since the US is a powerhouse with GDP, military, media, and global political power, everyone thinks it's okay to shit on it. I'd like to point out that the GDP stays at the top. Arguably, the quality of life of the average EU resident is better than the average American resident. Y'all tell us everyday with your medical systems and healthcare access, workers rights, time off, gun control, etc.

If American culture constantly has a delusional state of superiority, then why are the comments on Lemmy about how the EU is superior? Let's compare the number of comments on Lemmy in which Americans state or imply their superiority to Europe with vice versa. I bet that ratio will easily surpass 1:10. And the American one will more likely than not be downvoted to hell. Yeah, there are Americans and American media that are delusional about their superiority, but that is not the case with Lemmy users. In general, those are conservatives/Republicans and some moderates. Europe has those clowns too. American users on Lemmy tend to be quite left, desire strong leftist policies, and acknowledge the reality of the situation while being humble af, yet they are the ones that have to read all the shit talking about Americans every day on here. It's annoying af; that's all.

edit: Btw, despite that everyone may disagree with me, justifiably or not, I appreciate the opportunity to have this discussion.

Why would a Russian jet do that?

those states are violating the law and betting the Fed Govt won't intervene.

lmaooooo 🤣🤣

Using heavier weights for my workouts. It makes me feel great and so powerful to help my body fight stored trauma.

Yooooo!!! Me too!! I make sure to piss myself off real good before going to the gym. I'll be pacing like a madman before I get in the car. I know I'm ready when I don't even want to go outside because even sunlight is offensive. One time, I pushed it too hard and had to ground myself in the car at the gym parking lot for 15 mins. Between sets, I'm pacing and stimming with my earbuds in. Prolly look like I think I'm in a rap video.

I catch people side-eyeing me often. But, I could tell who gets it because I catch them doing similar and are friendly to me when we're near each other.

I don't know if this will work for the trauma eventually or just a mandatory habit now, but it's made adjusting my weighted blanket a lot easier.

Keep it up!

Congrats!! I loved the little bit I learned. It's a lot more intertwined with others subjects than I had thought, like physics and math. Feel free to share if you learned anything interesting 🙂

Fed prosecutors have a 97% conviction rate. The dude is gonna role a 100-sided die and needs a 98 or higher lol. He is done.

Biden is loyal to Ukraine because the wife of the mayor of Moscow gave gim money. The wife of the mayor of the capital city of the country that invaded Ukraine gave Biden money for him to use the US government support Ukraine against Russia. Makes perfect sense 👌

I would have liked her to trigger his anger. He needed to lose it on stage while she laughed at him being a big baby.
