God damn who pissed in your Cheerios? Listen I am all for freedom of speech. I believe it is unbelievably important to maintain a free society.

HOWEVER

When you are at work unless your job is to shout about politics you should probably shut the fuck up. The people paying your paycheck do not wanna hear that shit and even if they do your coworkers might not.

There is a time and place.

That still doesn't address the fact that not all instances are created equal. And it's not immediately apparent which instances block others.

You're making the same classic mistake that most people make. It's not what attention you give them. It's any attention you give them.

Calling him out and agreeing with him may as well be the same thing to him. Either way he's on your mind.

If I could snap my fingers and tomorrow every single person alive ignored him entirely he would probably spiral within a few days.

He craves attention regardless of what kind it is. Y'all keep giving it to him.

Trump says a ton of shit he either never has any intent to follow through on or just to get under the skin of some people.

Anyone with half a brain knew he wasnt the cause or going to immediately fix the problem that started before he took office.

But the far right maga ballsacks garglers will eat it up and believe everything he says. But also so does the left apparently. It's literally a free win for Him every single time he says shit like this. His base gets happy. His haters get distracted. He gets to do other shit while y'all argue under every post about it.

Meanwhile anyone with a fuckin brain knew he didn't cause the egg shortage and he certainly wasn't going to be able to fix it right away.

Stop falling for his bait. Y'all do it so goddamn often. You guys even talk about how you get stuck in a smoke screen. Or how they "flood the zone" and yet here you all are falling into that same goddamn trap again.

Yes because Trump was the one that released the bird flu that wiped out the American chicken population right before he took office...

Like there are so many valid reasons to call out Trump, but this one is stupid. Sometimes I swear y'all just like taking the bait.

You make a good point. The key difference is that some instances block other instances (or at least that has been my understanding of how Lemmy works from my limited time here). So depending on where they sign up they might not even be able to access certain subs.

Plus the "duplicate" subs on reddit tend to be one of two reasons. The original moderators let the sub die or enough people didn't get along with how the original sub was being moderated and they left to make their own copy. It's pretty rare that there are two identical subs that have equal engagement.

The piece you're missing is that all those wars after WW2 they weren't fighting to save the world. They were fighting to line the pockets of the military industrial complex (and big oil) that sprouted up around post WW2 America. The goal wasn't to "win" it was to funnel as much money into the pockets of several already rich and powerful cunts as possible.

If there was actually a threat to American citizens and we wanted to delete that threat entirely we would have absolutely no issues completely leveling pretty much any foreign nation with or without nukes.

Canada's actually military would be a speed bump for ours. Nothing.

But dealing with the global backlash and potential escalation to nuclear war would be an unmitigated disaster for not only the US but the whole world.

We may not know exactly what would happen in the fallout after the hypothetical invasion but I think we can all agree it would be very bad for pretty much everyone on the planet.

Because the best way to show love is to hit things. That's what my uncle always says.

As someone who is "stuck" here after being permabanned on all accounts on reddit I can say that the number one "issue" Lemmy has is also the greatest part about Lemmy. The fact that every instance can have its own copy of the "same" sub.

I completely understand why someone coming from reddit is going to search up "ask" and they will see a few ask Lemmy subs coming up. At a glance they won't know which one is "better" and why there are multiple.

Sadly most people will turn around and leave at that point. The average internet user will just go somewhere else the moment they feel lost or confused by anything. The few that might stick through it and make a post asking why there are multiple instances of the same type of sub are likely to be spoken down to by a bunch of condescending nerds that feel superior to outsider idiots. I know that many of you are very kind and welcoming, but enough of the user base are elitist pricks about everything that new users will notice immediately.

Lemmy can't seem to decide if they want to grow or if they want to gate keep. I think the reality is that as more people are blanket banned from reddit without any reason such as myself that people will keep slowly trickling in.

The only "change" I think Lemmy needs is its user feedback. I have been banned from so many subs for completely unrelated things and without going and looking up the mod logs for my own name I wouldnt have any clue whatsoever. I would just think that Lemmy was broken constantly since it just gives you submitting errors instead of telling you that you have been banned or anything.

The "automod" messages are basically useless as they don't tell you what rule you broke, which comment it was specifically or who actually initiated the ban. I know they aren't always actually "automatic" bans because I have gotten messages from automod for comments I left weeks ago. So either they are the slowest and least attentive bots on planet earth or the mods of those subs are using the automod to hide behind as a layer of anonymity.

They are still gonna miss most things at range because they set them up in vertical rows with set gaps. Should have had each new layer aimed at the gaps between the lower layers.

6/10 could have been better.

Gotta find the Netscape disk. Gotta get mom off the phone. Gotta wait 5 minutes for the space jam website to load.

Getting booted from your game because Mom got a phone call.

720p video was a straight up luxury that most of us didn't bother with because it took way too long to buffer lol.

It was a very different time.

That seems like a lot more work that it's worth lol

Your right. Ur way more stupider than me.

I have used that line to start a conversation with an untold number of women lol.

Most of them just think it's funny. Sometimes they get the reference. One woman was legitimately mad at me for having used a line from a TV show lol. It's just a good line.

Not when they surrendered dingus. The meme/joke that Frances official flag is a white flag has been going around since I was a kid in the 90s and both my little brothers also know that meme.

Yes thank you captain obvious. I know how mutually assured destruction works.

I am very aware that both the UK and France have nukes. The way he worded his comment I thought he was talking about America giving Canada nukes, but the UK and/or France make more sense given the hypothetical posed by the original post. I was responding to the comment while I was on the phone. Divided attention n all that.

Dont talk down to people like that. Its condescending and you have no idea how intelligent anyone actually is based off one comment. You know what they say about making assumptions.

Something something we all get some ass.

Is it only a meme in American spaces? I learned the meme from my German family growing up so I thought it was at least a meme in general.

Listen I would give Canada some nukes, but something tells me America is currently not inclined to give Canada anything lol.

Let's see... The UK....who needed America to get involved to end WW2 and France who are literally a meme for surrendering these days (despite having the greatest military track record of any nation still standing).

I'm sure they got your back. Lol.
