  • Any civilization capable of sending missiles across the galaxy should be more than capable of simply sending a tight beam of gamma radiation to sterilize the planet. No need for earth shattering explosions. Just a flood of radiation engulfing the planet for a minute or two and everything not buried a mile underground will be dead. There would be no warning either.

    And that's if they don't bother to just blow up the sun.

  • I don't know what you want me to say, .ml was created by tankies. It was once the largest Lemmy community so it drew a ton of new people which for a while drowned out the tankie rhetoric. Then the mods started to be little more mask off with their leanings, which caused an exodus of users to other instances, leaving behind a collection of tankies, true believers, people who had never heard criticism of the West or socialist ideals before so thought they were learning secret knowledge, and those too apathetic to bother changing instances. When they started getting defederated, even those last two groups started to leave.

  • Nah, /r/theDonald always had a layer of 4chan themed humor over everything. As if they knew they were spouting bullshit but kept it up "for the lols", and every time someone wandered in and believed their bullshit, it was all the more funny to them that they could so easily steer "normies" how they wanted. Rare Pepe's, calling eachother {centi}pedes, hell even the term MAGA itself started there. Trump was a meme. "Hey fellow retards, know what'd be funny? If we got that guy on The Apprentice nominated for president. It'll be funny as shit and we'll all laugh our dicks off!"

    Fascism came from fucking memes, anyone who tells you otherwise either didn't pay attention to where it came from, or are too embarrassed to admit it, because holy shit is that stupid.

    Tankies are something else. They aren't fueled by 4chan humor. More like weaponized angst. They're the edgy "umm akshually" kid who grew up with hatred and disgust towards Western culture and society and it poisoned them into a jaded contrarian of an adult. While they wield humor sometimes, it's always vicious in nature and paints others as inferior. It's never "hurr hurr, China's so great, right guys?" it's more "hurr hurr, all Westerners are idiots and deserve to suffer".

  • Except tacking an x on to the end is not a common Spanish pronunciation and completely discounts how jarring that is to use in speech. The whole thing also stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of gendered language, Latino can already be used to refer to male/female/nonbinary, just as the word for person (persona) can refer to any gender despite ending in the feminine form of -a.

    It comes across as "Wow, so maybe you weren't aware, but your language which is fundamental to your entire culture is like... Really problematic??? I heard it uses gendered words and that's just like really micro-aggressive and could be offensive to people. Here, let us fix your language for you. What? No I don't know any Spanish and don't plan on learning."

  • It doesn't really give good follow up questions though. So when a MAGA spouts something incredibly racist and you ask "where did you hear that?" and they just respond by saying "probably from the news, or an article, or podcast somewhere. Lots of places are all talking about it. Even CNN is saying that!" Where do you go from there? Do you stop the conversation to Google shit to try to refute them only to see that, yes, CNN is saying that same thing? Do you try to explain that the media has been captured by rightwing billionaires, or that their sources are problematic and unreliable? Do you think that will go over well? Or do you think that you'll sound just like they do to us when they talk about the "leftist controlled" media?

    Like, how the fuck do you expect that kind of question to go? Does the author expect their answer to "Where did you hear that?" to be something along the lines of "My God, I never once stopped to consider the sources of my prejudices. I will certainly reexamine my biases now. Thank you for shining a light on my ignorance." They will either hand wave it away by saying they heard it somewhere, or they will give a source and then the conversation becomes about the reliability of that source rather than the actual topic at hand.

  • Wtf is Latinx? Do you mean Latinos, as is the preferred term of the Latino community and not some BS made up word by white people with a savior complex?

  • Why would someone be humiliated that their money laundering scheme is laundering money?

    You people don't honestly believe she gives a shit, right? And you certainly must recognize this movie as just being a grift, and that it wasn't made with the intention or expectation of being successful, right?

    Please tell me you all aren't that fucking blind.

  • It's hard to know who exactly to attribute the quote to, but it's based on this, song? Speech? Something. If you haven't heard it before, I highly, highly recommend giving it a listen, especially if you are younger. It's sonething I think everyone deserves to hear before they make their way in the world, and still offers good advice if you're already in it but feeling lost.

    "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" is a 1999 spoken-word hit by Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, featuring Lee Perry reciting life advice over a remixed track. Based on a 1997 Chicago Tribune column by Mary Schmich, the song offers nostalgic, philosophical advice on life, aging, and happiness, famously advising to always wear sunscreen.

  • If you rotate your tires, don't forget to get your wheels rebalanced at the same time! So many places, usually quick oil change places, will offer a tire rotation service but WONT rebalance them and then you'll drive off and wonder why your car is so shaky.

  • "Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth" -Baz Luhrmann

  • Change your title. You make this seem like it's definitely going to happen, when that is far from the case.

    Not only has Todd Lyons given no indication he will comply with this order, but the Judge even gave him an out. If they release a guy who was already ordered to be released on the 15th, Lyons doesn't have to appear.

    I doubt that Lyons ever winds up in the same room as this judge, let alone a courtroom.

    Edit: Title previously stated "ICE Chief to appear in court..."

    No? Just general words and a subtle wish that things will magically get better?
