  • Following your logic Lake Michigan should be renamed Lake America. There's a bunch of lakes up there, do they all get renamed Lake of America? Seems confusing!

    Here's a list of all the gulfs in the Americas:

    North America

    1. Gulf of Mexico
    2. Gulf of Alaska
    3. Gulf of California (Sea of Cortes)
    4. Gulf of St. Lawrence
    5. Gulf of Honduras
    6. Gulf of Panama
    7. Gulf of Tehuantepec

    Central and South America

    1. Gulf of Darien (Colombia and Panama)
    2. Gulf of Venezuela
    3. Gulf of Guayaquil (Ecuador)

    Following your logic, they're all badly named because that's just named after the region they're in, not the content.

  • Capitalism needs another system that it has to compete against, or else it starts eating itself

  • The teaparty shit was astroturfed by the kochs.

    There's no money spout funding left-wing groups in that same way, which is really a requirement.

  • The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms itself does not mention a requirement for unanimous consent. However, the Constitution Act, 1982, in Section 41, outlines the "unanimity formula," which requires unanimous consent from all provinces and both Houses of Parliament for constitutional amendments related to specific matters, such as changes to the office of the Monarch, the composition of the Supreme Court, or the amendment process itself[3][4].

  • Bottle blondes, bottle bronze. Nothing about conservatives is authentic.

  • We would probably surrender and then work diplomatically to regain independence or some other-outcome that would be better than blowing our neighbours up.

  • Nope, looks like he's going aftet a anti-depressants — what a loser

  • The one thing i hope for is that he actually follows through on ending those corn subsidies

    1. Economic Strain on Farmers: Many Iowa farmers depend on subsidies to offset production costs. Without them, smaller farms could struggle to compete, while larger farms might consolidate further[1][6].
    2. Shift in Farming Practices: Kennedy has proposed redirecting subsidies toward regenerative agriculture, which could push farmers to adopt new practices. However, transitioning away from commodity crops like corn may be costly and time-intensive[6].
    3. Ripple Effects on Local Economies: Rural communities reliant on agriculture could suffer job losses as reduced farm incomes impact local businesses and cooperatives[2][6].
    4. Higher Food Prices: Reduced corn production could elevate prices for products dependent on corn, such as livestock feed and processed foods[2].

  • So beautiful, so soft

  • We like dark things. They give our brain cortisol

  • Airline profit margins are surprisingly slim

  • I use the boost mobile app exclusively to browse lemmy. Does a great job, it's identical to reddit except with so few people my stupid comments actually get attention

  • Like fire fighting fire, we could only stop kamlas genocide by doing trumps genocide.

  • Oh, I'm sorry—I didn’t realize independent thought meant regurgitating conspiracy buzzwords like a malfunctioning chatbot. Try forming an original argument instead of just copy-pasting skepticism from whatever YouTube video your algorithm fed you.

  • Wild watching the dumbest reactionaries on the internet get everything they ever wanted.

    You'd think after Brexit, after the first Trump term, they'd have re-evaluated their pre-existing beliefs.

    It's like the worse their outcomes are the more certain that they are correct. It's almost a coping mechanism.

  • Yeah I'm sure the brown people on their way to the newly minted Guantanamo Bay concentration camp are real excited for what the collapse will look like.

  • Feels like these were barely a thing for a month before mp3 players took off.

    I remember people talking about how small media storage was getting

    Records - > Tapes - > CDs

    People thought they'd eventually all the pill sized but still contain exactly one album or one movie.

    We never thought 'what if I could fit every album I own on one Disc?'

    I remember showing my iPod to my uncle who had a hige music collection and telling him that his whole wall of albums could fit on this white rectangle and then some. He was impressed but didn't see much value until he thought about driving in the car.

  • France and the UK’s nuclear arsenal is minuscule compared to the US stockpile.

    You only need a few.

    And a lot of the nukes at NATO bases are on loan from the US, so if the US pulls out there will not be nearly as many bombs close to Russia.

    Both UK and France have nuclear armed subs, those are all that matter.

    Anyone insane enough to start a nuclear war may decide that absorbing a hundred or so nukes isn’t so bad when they have hundreds of Cold War era bunkers and thousands of their own nukes.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say even Putin doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in a bunker.
