That was very entertaining! I would've loved watching it live but I was busy during that time.

They play the victim regardless.

This should be the logical conclusion for any country with decent electrical infrastructure, not being too spread out, and access to cheap Chinese EVs, but unfortunately vested interests/politics prevent this for quite a few countries.

I rethought the religion I was born into and I left it.

Democracy is about having your say. When you create the art yourself, that is you expressing yourself democratically. With AI, it's doing the talking for you.

Since colonizing mars is just vaporware bullshit, he'll turn earth into mars instead. Mission accomplished.

Ironically you're getting downvoted for telling people what they don't want to hear. It's tough to compete with someone claiming "you can have all you desire". It's similar to how trump won by recognizing what his target audience wants, validating their feelings, but then putting the blame on why they can't achieve what they want based on all the wrong things.

Alternatives would be great! My only concern is the number of satellites that have to be continually launched while older satellites are burned up after just five years. That's thousands of satellites per service provider having to be continually replaced. Seems wasteful, but maybe I'm thinking the resource usage is greater than it really is in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not a tankie, but I don't know why the mod thinks of me as a tankie.

The economy is always bad. The idea is to make people feel insecure and desperate so that they take on more/worse work for less pay. They'll use every excuse under the sun, from "we can't afford to pay workers" to "AI could do your job" and it doesn't matter if it's true because there are fewer companies growing larger who control so much of the employment landscape that they can unify against workers and make it so.

Cool. While you're digging around my comment history, why not dig up a comment where I'm a tankie saying tankie things? That would be a lot more relevant.

 

I saw this post titled "Scratch a anti-harm reductionist and a fascist bleeds" (https://lemmy.world/post/33320759)

I commented that "harm reduction" apparently means sending billions in weapons to israel while they commit genocide and shutting down campus protests speaking out against that genocide. I said that seemed pretty fascist to me.

Within an instant, they downvoted my post and banned me. Guess it's my fault for posting in a circlejerk community, but I'm still scratching my head on how that makes me a tankie. Something tells me this mod would be calling in the tanks to suppress any dissent if they could.

 

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!

 

Not entirely sure what this is, but it was revealed during the Jackbox collab on Calli's channel. Reveal on June 18th 8:00PM PDT apparently!
