I'm confused by this article a bit.

Couldn't they compromise on having underground parking for that building? I wonder if it's like, well if we have SO many people then the local parking is going to be flooded too. Although, if it's that local would they even drive?

Maybe it's not feasible to do underground parking in which case it would take up spots all around, which I half get. Car-based towns and stuff have really done a number on us.

There's no self-reflection at all.

To him, he's not committing "genocide", he's "protecting his people from terrorists".

crying mccry face is saying empathy is bad?

When you say "they", did you mean that "men"? Like, men tore down the nation's only men's rape clinic?

(genuine question, reading it back I can sound like a dick)

There was article written by their former marketing director or something stating that the CPU, GPU and stuff are still sourced from China, and other places as well. They hide it from you. So like it's an eye-watering price for old specs and doesn't really deliver what it says it does.

I still don't like saying how they're both the same because I fundamentally don't believe that to my core (ie if they had all three branches we wouldn't be talking about all this current mayhem).

However, I think I understand your point and I agree with it.

So thanks again!

I loved the video. It's very obviously taking the piss but I think this has been a sore spot to many Lemmy users that the humour isn't gonna hit.

It's got a little something for everyone

You're absolutely right. I felt weird writing that and should have said center-right. I think I was trying to be less confusing when I wrote it but it's been a long day.

I'm not thinking straight and the world is stressing me out.

Thanks for replying, I just recalled this:

Now we can say he failed but I can't say that specific act is evil. Palestine on the other hand ..... ☠️

Like, I get your viewpoints and you guys think I'm trying to bury any negative viewpoints of the democratic party or that I'm brainwashed. Which is funny to me because I hate the establishment Dems. I just think posts saying both suck and attacking the Dems aren't helpful because they currently have no power. The other party is causing a lot of damage and there seems to be no stopping them so kicking the feckless Dems when they're down seems weird to me.

I also think the democratic party needs to be ousted by progressive candidates that have a good vision for the future. I'm not gonna lie though I don't see it happening. The establishment Dems aren't gonna bow down. Also, I see so many protests happening and although AOC and Bernie have made the news I don't think I see the Dem leadership taking advantage of this and putting up a solid front either, like wtf is going on? I'm not sure it's the coverage but it really seems like they're lost.

How come they seem to mainly point out issues with the left (or center-left) and also seem to not support Ukraine ...

“Trump’s attacks on Canada are a wake-up call: we need to move quickly to rebuild our once-world-leading capacity to develop and produce drugs and enhance our economy’s ability to meet Canadians’ basic needs without dependence on erratic foreign authoritarians,” said Stanford.

Got into an argument with a few of my coworkers at stand-up when they said being a 51st state isn't that bad and "why fight? we're just going to lose"

I said, health care, environment, tax breaks, corruption. If you think it's bad now, it's going to be worse. They were like, "you spend 40% on taxes and you see none of it. You are not incentivised to work in this country." I went into effective tax rate vs the tax rate at the bracket and we went back and forth for a while. It made me say, "why the F are you here? go emigrate to the states"

lazygit is pretty cool too.

That is the real crime here ...

Embarassing rich people or losing profits. Their lives are what really matter, wouldn't want them to be inconvenienced in any way.

You’re free to be wrong.

As are you.

Have a pleasant day! (no sarcasm)

I agree I think it's fucking horrible and I think Chuck Schumer and everyone on any side of the political aisle that upheld this should be in a jail cell too.

Are you having a stroke? I don’t follow your point and/or syntax.

I was making reference to this.

Wait. If how can there be any “nuance” if you can’t compare the two parties? Is a comparison of apples with oranges flawed because of the “nuance”?

I never said you can't compare. I'm saying this comparison is devoid of any content. The establishment dems suck for many reasons. None of which you can find here.

You can have your own interpretation but don’t assume that this was OP’s intent.

I think I will.

[edit] the point that everyone is emphasizing is the Republicans is setting the US on fire. The Dems have put on rallies to stop it. The posts that are saying "both sides" are just insane to me, but whatever. [/edit]

Two parties in a two party system is no case of “apples and oranges”. That’s as close to a fair comuarison as yo’'re gonna get

stroke much?

seriously, this isn't a "fair comparison" because it doesn't address any sort of nuance nor is it supposed to. It's supposed to make people go: "yeah the dems suck too" rather than understand anything about what's going on.

If you claim to be on the same page then whatever, we can just agree on our core points leave it at that.

Nobody said the Dems were perfect OR not bad through the chain.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence - is what this post is.

I can't deal with US politics right now and this thread.

I'm fucking Canadian and people upvoting this both sides nonsense is getting my blood boiling.

I thought this enlightened centrist shit was over with but people are bringing it up like they're some next-level IQ genius. When in reality they're trying their to push people to the right (whether they understand it or not).
