  • You know what they say about what happens when you jump into a car with a single Nazi, now you have 2 nazis sitting in a car. JK. Aslo, i should mention, I think you mean to type: "I'm paraphrasing, so no exactly her words since if you're paraphrasing they wouldn't be her exact words.

  • IDK if I would call any of the two elections you mentioned "rigged" as I feel people think of that word to mean direct fraud (votes changed for instance). That being said, seemingly both elections were influenced by Russian mis and disinformation campaigns which puts into question what the response should be. This are not honest elections and, thankfully for Romania, they are able to and seemingly are doing something about this campaign of influence. For the US, which I'm assuming was heavily influenced by Social Media during this last election, nothing should be done, except to make some changes moving forward.

  • You:

    democrats have proven to be no different than the GOP.

    Me:

    Yeah one has pardoned his son, while the other has raped children, been good friends with Epstein, is a felon, lies frequently, and has attempted overthrow the US government.

    That's not what aboutism, that's directly addressing your false equivalency. The GOP and the Democrats are absolutely not the same. Then you bring up Epstein and Bill Clinton, but sure I'm the one bringing up random people. The GOP supports traitors, the DNC does not.

  • I mean, we're in an English post, and the US is the 3rd most populated country in the world. Looking at Wikipedia, the next country after the US that has a majority of its citizens with English as a first language is the UK with about 1/3 of the population as the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population

    Not to mention, crazy things that happen to the US can affect other countries as well. Especially negative things would have an affect on other countries. The US is the country with the highest GDP in the world, and if we get a recession, with our globally connected world, others feel it as well. The reverse is also true but dependent on the countries relation to the US. China, being a high GDP country with strong trade and financial ties to the US could also cause huge problems to the US should it encounter a recession.

  • Wtf are you talking about? I'm talking about the recently elected president of the United States, Trump, and the president that is just leaving the position, Biden. You show me a picture of Epstein and Clinton? Fuck Bill Clinton if he did do BS with Epstein, but the point is, OUR INCOMING PRESIDENT WAS GOOD FRIENDS WITH EPSTEIN! It feels like you're trying to make up some comparison that doesn't exist.

  • Yeah one has pardoned his son, while the other has raped children, been good friends with Epstein, is a felon, lies frequently, and has attempted overthrow the US government. They're totally the same thing!

  • Sure I'll clarify. The implication from your statement is that raw milk can kill half of cats very frequently, which is seemingly untrue. What seems to be the situation is that raw milk from cows infected with the bird flu can lead to a 50% fatality rate for cats that drink it. So if cats consume raw milk, will there be a near 50% fatality rate? Not necessarily, but it seems like that would be the case if the cows in question are infected with the bird flu (based on articles).

    The reason why I want to differentiate between what you said, and the article is I can imagine someone saying: "nearly half of cats die drinking raw milk!" to which a skeptic may find online people talking about cats not dying at such a high rate from drinking raw milk, leaving out the fact that the bird flu infected cows is the issue. This can dissuade skeptics from believing the reality that raw milk increases the chances of illness from the bird flu, as well as other sicknesses.

    If I'm wrong about the fact that nearly 50% of cats are dying, all the time, from raw milk, feel free to provide an article so i can educate myself.

  • If i could change time to allow Biden to run, i would do so only because Harris running in the situation that she did, didn't work out regardless.

    But I kind of don't think he would have won either. The debate performance plus "his bad economy" I think we're too impactful. I think the only chance, if any, was Biden not running, and us actually having a chance to select a candidate.

    The biggest hurdle I would say is the disinformation war that reality is losing against Russia/MAGA.

  • Not domeone who has given up gaming, but I stopped gaming for a bit with the hope I would be more productive. Not long, short bursts of a couple of months. I hated it because I would still spend time doing "unproductive" things, but even worse, it felt like I wasn't doing anything actually fun. Like, I'm scrolling on Reddit or Lemmy for like 2 hours? Sure I read quite a bit, but there's a lot of uneducationa posts, as well as a lot of time spent scrolling because I was on it for so long that the good posts I got through quickly.

    At least with video games, I get a sense of learning, and challenging myself.

  • That's the point I'm trying to make(but didn't do well). Successful Media is telling Trump can, has and will do these things . If they're told this repeatedly, with no other sane opinions, of course they will believe it. Worse still, they're also told views to the contrary are completely false and should be disregarded

  • I agree. For some people, I think pornography and prostitution are their preferred jobs.in your scenario, they would be more empowered to speak up for themselves. Right now, with food and shelter being a concern, people may not always feel comfortable turning jobs down.
