  • I think some of those purple ones should instead be labeled "If you can find a way to get it to stick around long enough for you to lick, you'll win a posthumous Nobel prize."

  • Zero responsibility, no; many did vote for him , but significantly more didn't. If you want to hunt down the people who voted for him, sure, but I voted against him in every election knowing something like this would happen, and I'm not responsible for it. The same can be said of a significant amount of Americans. To lump us all together would be like bombing a hospital full of innocent victims to get at some members of Hamas.

  • Yeah, I get these every few months or so, and at this point when I feel one coming on I'll automatically start pointing my toes up before I even fully wake up and realize what's happening. That nips it in the bud before the pain starts, and I can go right back to bed.

  • He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk's in charge now.

  • Sure, but that's often after they've let him spout nonsense uninterrupted on a global platform.

  • "Man does thing everyone should have been doing to every idiot in power for decades."

  • Long gone are the days where something being against the law essentially meant it couldn't be done. You can scream that the things they're doing are illegal, but at this point it doesn't even matter; the law has lost its relevancy, and won't stop or even slow down the people in charge.

  • People like to commit, though. They want to commit. They want to make an account and be done. The ability for established users and communities to move around is a great feature that makes Lemmy superior to other sites, but it really needs to work on making new users feel comfortable enough to stay put when they're first figuring things out, because if a new user decides to leave, they're probably not switching instances, they're switching platforms.

  • Pretty sure you can still do all that today. Sure, it's not going to feel exactly the same way, but I've found that it's surprisingly enjoyable to pull out my old video games, buy some of the snacks I loved as a kid, and just spend a day living as my 12 year old self on summer vacation.

  • We elected a CEO to be president, essentially adding the country itself to his business portfolio. He's obviously going to trade a part of that power to other CEOs in exchange for favors and loyalty to benefit himself. It's nothing more than a business deal to exploit the country and its people for profits, something all wealthy business owners are familiar with, and something Trump didn't even try to hide his plans to do if he was elected.

  • It never left. We just used to be confident that nobody in power was stupid or suicidal enough to use one given the mutually assured destruction, and that confidence has since gone up in smoke.

  • There's a reason every American was raised on the mantra of "violence is never the answer" and "if you fight back you're just as bad."

  • A criminal is the head of the governing body that makes the laws. Why even bother asking why he's not following them?

  • CEO's get money from people using their products, and Google's CEO spends a lot of that money lobbying in order to push the government further right. It's not a tough thing to follow. "Support" isn't about whether or not you agree with them, it's about whether or not you help fund their actions when you have other options that wouldn't.

  • Honestly, Musk’s Nazi salute kind of overshadowed every other news story coming out that day.

    Then it did it's job.

  • Yeah, I voted blue, but I knew this was going to happen regardless of who won.

  • Yeah, pointing out how someone is ignorant to science by being less ignorant, but still ignorant, isn't a good rebuttal. It's true that humans go on to develop as female in the absence of the androgens kicked off by the SRY gene in those who inherited it, but that doesn't mean they're automatically female up until that point. I'd say they'd be nonbinary, but ultimately this definition is using the embryo's future ability to produce sex cells as the differentiating factor, so their state during conception is irrelevant to this definition, even if it's being applied at conception. It would be interesting to know how this definition would cover someone with congenital anorchia, but I doubt anyone who respects the order would care enough to try to define it.

  • They say they want an efficient government not wasting time and resources on unnecessary things. What they actually want is a government that makes them feel superior to all the people they've been convinced to hate, in this case Mexicans and Leftists. Trump knows this, and gives them what they want so that he can get what he wants, which is free reign to exploit his position and his country for profit while his loyal voter base blindly supports his efforts to usher in their demise.

  • Yeah, if (more like when) things go south for the daughter, he's going to want her to feel safe and supported enough to call him. If she feels pushed away she might not reach out for help when she needs it, which is the worst case scenario.

  • This is a very good thing. If you don't know something, you can always look it up to figure it out, but there are so many times where people incorrectly think they already know about things, so they never look them up and realize they were wrong the whole time.
