I thought the first one was gonna be "precision bombing then," and the second was gonna be "precision bombing now" with a consumer drone being flown by Vasylyi dropping a hand grenade through the hatchway of a tank from 150 feet up.

Headlines from newspapers can be propaganda too.

I mean, the core of what you're saying I will admit is sorta accurate -- I'm knee-jerking a response that may or may not be reasonable. A lot of it has to do with me seeing a pattern of weirdly Biden-shade-throwing stories on Lemmy, not that this one article or headline is anything wild or unreasonable.

But I will say, on CNBC's side, it would be easy (and more accurate) to just write a story "Here are the reasons behind inflation" without tangentially bringing up the theory that Biden's involved, and without bringing polls of people who may or may not have a clue what they're talking about anywhere into it.

Biden still sucks

You are, of course, welcome to your opinion on him. I honestly don't have time for an extended back and forth and I'm not sure it would be productive anyway. People can make up their own minds about what they're seeing; I'm just putting my observation in about this specific story.

This is fuckin nuts

They’re not debating whether they can spy on people. That’s a given. They’re debating whether they can bypass FISA judges to spy on people with no oversight in some circumstances, and what those circumstances can be. A summary of the history:

“Hey we need to spy on these people ‘cause we’re law enforcement and they’re maybe doin crimes”

“Okay cool get a warrant. It’s not like they’re shy about handing them out, but we need to have judges overseeing that. Our experience has been that if there are people who can just spy on whoever they want whenever they want it sometimes becomes a big big problem.

“No I can’t get a warrant, the proof is way too secret to even show a judge.”

“Uhhh… ok. Maybe? Okay. How about this: We’ll make a whole system of FISA courts where you can go and get a special warrant where you can share secret information to get the warrant. And we’ll make it so they’re very very very not shy about handing them out, like 99%.”

(Time passes)

“Hey I don’t wanna use the FISA courts, can I just”

I can’t comprehend how anyone can look at that question and the answer is any kind to debate, instead of just shouting NO before the question is finished.

So now that some of the reliable drumbeat of “5 shocking reasons Biden sucks, you won’t believe #3!” stories are starting to get removed as misinformation, we’re moving to just putting “Biden” “inflation” and “blame” into juxtaposition in the headline while still being plausible-deniable, huh

, but stressed the need for Congress to pass more aid.

"It is a relatively small package to give Ukraine the minimum of what it needs for a short amount of time," a senior defense official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Not just that, they're literally all not true even within the weird little cherry-pick framework.

$138 billion is about 8% of total student loan debt outstanding for everyone for all years, which means yes it's far from the whole thing, but it's also not a rounding error or a small amount to just whoopsie-daisy out of the federal budget. And saying it's all Biden's fault he didn't use his magic wand to create another trillion and a half dollars to clear the balance in full, it means he doesn't care so I can't support him as a result is... well, par for the course for this type of argument I guess.

(Oh, and actually he tried to forgive around half a trillion dollars in loan debt, but the Supreme Court which it doesn't matter who nominates justices for because both sides are the same, told him no.)

And he did order it descheduled over a year ago, see the discussion below

And by "exactly the same" bro means reduced by half, see the screenshots below from bro's own source

Please can we have cameras in the courtroom

Oops. You are correct; I didn't know the software worked like that. I fixed one link to lemmy.world, and just pasted the text of the other two (since it's difficult to link to messages in the deleted thread.)

Not sure why you couldn't get my link to work, or where your numbers are coming from. Mine are from an official government website that tracks unemployment...

Yes. These are your numbers:

Want to explain?

(Edit: I'm not surprised they don't want to explain)

A lot of times, individuals who've been through rough environments have a deep appreciation for comfort and trust

Ooooh

It's a way of processing the several-flat-planes imaging

Not a different way of doing the imaging in the first place

For some reason I didn't realize that. Yeah that makes perfect sense.
