China is now the world’s largest economy; measured in nominal GDP, it is the second largest, projected to surpass the US within the next few years. BRICS has overtaken the G7 in terms of economic size, and China is fast catching up in terms of science and technology. However, the fact is that the US still retains military hegemony, with its 800 overseas military bases and its extensive deployment of troops and weapons around the world.

Under the current US regime, is the possibility/probability that other states will push for and accomplish the closing of US military bases on their soil? Will it happen, if they do?

He said Adams is a “very good person” and added that he “helped him out a little bit,”

Reminding his pawns they can be sacrificed

Mamdani campaign spokesperson Andrew Epstein...🤨

It kind of is, but only one side has munitions.

There's no option to uninstall on my neighbor's phone.

Gemini now has a second set of toggles buried in its settings menu. You can go to Profile → Apps inside the Gemini app and manually disable access to Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, or Utilities. But these are turned on by default, even if you’ve disabled tracking in the past.

So I just went to the app in my neighbor's phone, and it asked me to switch. I said no, and it won't let me do anything else. So will this need to be done next week?

That's my guess.

Major party voters. Antiunion and union working class. Church, mosque and temple members (witch trials, inquisition, when people held a grudge and used these and police forces). Snitches. Attention seekers. You're free to disagree, and I said what I said.

It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others

Lol. This is a past time of every class, equally.

Here's hoping I win the lottery, huh? 😉

Well I wasn't trying to connect them, just showing how my attitude changed with each and thinking if mine can, others can, but I hope this situation in Ukraine doesn't drag out that long. I suppose it depends on how long my compatriots are willing to sit and fret while convincing themselves the incremental sacrifices now cost less than the bigger, more sudden sacrifices later but we'll see, if there's not a global MAD until then.

There are some good people there. Being in the USA, I do seek US news, so I'm there. Lemmygrad has one too but serves as a catchall, like the other.

Listen, I'm probably a decade or two older than the average Lemmy user, and it wasn't until the last year, give or take a few months, that I was able to suspend disbelief, first, come to believe a fair amount later, and take a whole lot from either instance with a few kilos of salt. Governments propagandize, fact of life. I first came here to dispute, too, and was provided links from Western media that allowed me to suspend disbelief and seek more information. I don't have an issue with honest dis/believers. I would be extremely hypocritical if I did. But it's pretty gross that the people who pay for these unnecessary wars with blood and money refuse to even suspend disbelief and seek real answers, and I'm not even better than that, because it took me over three decades to develop empathy for Palestine (because I found Internet forum of users who gave factual, documented information, like .ml does), and another couple of decades to believe about Ukraine - Russia.

The thing is, when I first went on .world some of those exact same people were loud disbelievers about Palestine, too. Now the whole instance just about is. Will they come around about Ukraine too? Hopefully, before the situation* is as due dire as Palestine. They're developing an ambivalent attitude about China, will they about Russia? I don't know.

All. The. Time. While doing it themselves. And whinging about djt doing it

The Nazi instance is trying to instigate brigading again. 🙄

Any of his administration.

The thrice divorced, adulterous, non-bill-paying would surely fall into this category.

They redistributed it away from us, they can redistribute it back. Democrats decided it's been 80 or 100 years, so we forgot they were never on our side, **remind them we remember. VOTE. THEM. OUT. PRIMARY. RIOT. **

Something about living and dying* by the sword.
