Music the the closest thing to real magic we have.

That's a stretch and 3 halves, when we have quantum computers and other fun science hobby projects

It implies the pov is Kramer, not the protagonist

Yup. People should be allowed to risk their own lives when it doesn't risk others

Say this and then when evil parents bring in their kids give them gender affirmation and gay affirmation

I mean I would pay a premium for a made in America phone. Probably about 2 times as much. Iphones just suck ass so I'd never pay for one at all

Dumping ill gotten gains into charity will not make you beloved down in history so much...

Certainly not " the most beloved"

You can educate and ban. That's what my school did... Teach you the real issues with drugs, not just the dare shit lol

Of course. Education has not much bearing on intelligence. I know college educated people who are idiots. I know highly intelligent people who haven't touched a lick of education past highschool.

Though, I still believe most people are stupid.

Unions better be a whole fuckin lot more popular after this....

And hopefully the president's tariff powers are henceforth limited

Kids aren’t stupid,

Kids aren't necessarily stupid. But, same as the adults who they grow into, most are.

They already have the drug. Education is going to do nothing. They need rehab;this is much more helpful, making it less accessible to future children. Worst case they get more tech literate finding their way around the bans

There is no shortage of platforms that allow for that. Lemmy, reddit, blue sky, etc. it is not hard to adapt

Green card holders are permanent. They're not any form of temporary and are absolutely not guests.

When you are a guest, yes, follow local customs.

This is blocking removal of access, not requiring them to allow entry to my understanding

Illinois it's 50. 116 is expensive as all get out for something that is required for basic air travel

Honestly I think there's plenty of good reasons to go after cartels with more force than just fbi. It's not great having that level of instability and danger right next door. However, we got our own problems right now(trump), and trump does have the ability to do the careful maneuvering that would be needed to do so.

Mexico will never agree because they want their sovereignty and more importantly, their government is controlled by the cartels, literally

Yeah I made this account with my reddit username. Made another account that I'm building up with a dif username to be more anon and less attachment so more easily abandon able

Yeah but I'm not Canadian

This comes a bit down to utilitarianism vs ethics based on principles

No, it doesn't. Either one, democracy is still better... Science does best with freedom from suppression.

I'm not making the point that democracy is bad

You are, in fact, making that point

which goes to my previous point, that the propaganda is so internalized and polarized now that you don't need threats of state violence to keep the population in check

Social suppression is a world apart from state suppression, and downvotes on reddit are not an example of keeping people in check. that's a terminally online viewpoint.

Of course China has massive problems and corruption and abuses

They are literally a dictatorship. That's an incredible understatement.

How do YOU know that life in China isn't actually better and people more happy than in the USA?

They are actively commiting genocide.

Sure you have freedom of speech with the means of communication owned and controlled by the oligarchs

There's plenty of options for uncontrolled communication. Corp suppression is still wholly different from gov suppression;they can't toss you in jail.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer is an aphorism that is leading the west inevitably towards fascism.

That's your opinion, and does not reflect reality.

Your response to a trend toward fascism(which is happening, but not inevitable), is to say we should embrace it like china does?

They are stealing your future right now and there is nothing you can do because they control the media.

Are you intentionally being obtuse about the fact that china has massive censorship. I'm not here to say the usa is good. You're ignoring European reality, favoring the usa in your arguments because it's closer to supporting them.

So all the "posturing" about how superior our principles and freedums are is just... well it's a delusion

We objectively speaking have more freedom of speech than china does at the present moment.

But still the socialists are completely rejected and banned from the largest lemmy instances.

Tankies. Not socialists. Socialists are often speaking and getting upvoted.
