This is infuriating. Why can’t anyone abroad realize that the USA is dead? Ignore us and we have no power.

Is it “coke” or “cock”?

I’m not religious, but God bless you.

I still barely understand, but I understand more than I did five minutes ago, and that is worth something.

Why is this math problem worth monetary value to anyone if it’s just a randomly generated number? I don’t care if something generated a number somewhere. Like, good for them I guess? Why is that valuable?

The only thing in my knowledge that has caused gun restriction laws to be placed on the books is Black men arming themselves en masse.

Fucking hell. Yes.

Americans have been told this glamorous story about their history in schools that has made us think that this behavior we are seeing today “isn’t who we are.”

It definitely is who we are and it makes me sick.

I work at a university and learned yesterday that the current administration has removed the legal status of at least three of our international students…without notifying the university or the student. Just up and deleted their visas.

The government made innocent, law-abiding college students illegal for no fucking reason and didn’t tell anyone. Why do that unless you’re planning to raid their home, kidnap 18-22 year olds, and spread terror?

They are doing this all across the country. I read a Higher Ed article about it. I’m sure no university has been left untouched. Thousands of innocent people threatened with ICE raids for no goddamned reason.

Deporting “illegals” my ass. This has never been about deporting undocumented people.

I can’t say if this is objectively better or worse than what Biden did, but I do know that this is outright evil.

If the economy crashes, people won’t be able to pay their loans, which I sincerely hope will fuck up a billionaire or two.

I haven’t had that experience. I barely understand how Lemmy works but this app I use makes it function like Reddit. I can’t even tell the difference, day to day, but vaguely understand that if the “country” my account is on starts to get weird, I can emigrate elsewhere.

Unbelievable.

I’m loving the interest rate.

I’ve heard conflicting information.

1. That a vaccine would be lifesaving and egg-saving, and it would be a great thing.
2. With a vaccine, exporting chickens/eggs to other countries will be impossible because they won’t want to import eggs/meat potentially carrying bird flu (which wouldn’t be known because the chickens wouldn’t show symptoms). So, if food-cautious countries don’t want vaccinated products because of their potential to harbor bird flu, do I want those products? Would this increase the chance for the flu to jump between species?

I am not knowledgeable enough to know which is the better way forward. Can anyone speak to this?

Yeah, I like your idea better. It just feels further out of reach, so in the meantime, I’ll have to be satisfied with mocking.

I wonder how fast and much daily fashion will change. Like, no more knitted or crocheted items, or their resale value will go way up.

I wonder if the alienation of the rest of the world from the US by Trump, especially with these tariffs, was a Putin idea. Make Russia’s enemies turn against one another so they won’t band together. Pull their economies apart so that the EU won’t have armies and defense mechanisms at hand, and so that the US, Mexico, and Canada are no longer trusting each other, and so on. If all the countries don’t trust one another, they are fractured and weak, unable to stand up to Russia’s invasions.

I’m curious to see what the UK will come back at the US with. I bet the Baby in Chief will throw a tantrum and tell them they can’t do that.

He’s a narcissistic idiot and a baby. He deserves to be mocked mercilessly.

I wish more people would travel here. We need people to build up the communities and interact with content. It’s refreshing to see comments under limited moderation, or moderation that actually targets the right kind of hate speech: the powerful punching down.

I only visit Reddit when someone here links to it, since I’m assuming the comments are relevant, or if I’m doing a Google search and the answer is in a Reddit comment.

Reddit is dying from the top down. People migrating away would show billionaires that they don’t control us.

Why can’t I lease a fully furnished house for $1 a month? I would be cheaper and have less negative environmental damage. I also promise not to underpay my nonexistent employees.

No! America just wants all the food (and spices) from brown countries!!!!1!! Brown people are obviously bad, though!

/s, but not really. Steal the culture and “good ideas,” hurt the people who created those things. All pretty par for the course.

Sounds to me like the US government has been thoroughly infiltrated by corporations only interested in their own profit. How dare other countries not pay billions to American corporations??

But we knew this already.
