Can comedy not exist on its own? The meta-irony of a dude making fun of the “our existence is only for generating shareholder value” is pretty funny in the context of “yeah but who’s he generating value for?” question
Yes, but this is specifically about the declaration of war on Japan. But being pedantic, Canada decided to go to war first, so they were first to act, but the US, Britain, and Canada all declared war on Japan on the same day
Yeah as someone who deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts years ago, and only uses Lemmy now, the people who are most concerned with how I can exist without said accounts are my MAGA family members. They would love the sort of black mirror style “everybody rate each other” system
It took awhile before engineers also became UX people and were like “ok, but let’s start the project from an end user’s point of view.”

Yeah it doesn’t really matter for him, he’s just a figurehead for his “benefactors.” Vance would proudly step in and sign the same Russian executive orders. Sadly, the real question is who succeeds Putin and what happens to the US if he dies? Project 2025 will have way more trouble moving forward without Krasnov or Russian support
