And even if his statement were correct, he's got the cause and effect completely backwards.

I imagine there might be one at some point, just not this one.

How many of those 113,000 are just reporters waiting for Drumph's next manufactured controversy to report on? Can they please just stop regurgitating every stupid thing he spouts?

WTF? Oh wow. TIL.

Amusingly, my brain naturally pronounced those appropriately for the context. It wasn't until another part of my brain said, "wait, they're spelled the same," and the first part replied, "right, that's the joke," before I realized what had just happened.

Been using Linux as my primary OS for (counts on fingers)... decades now. Called them folders the whole time. Never had a problem with it. Nobody who matters cares.

Yeah. I saw some of the posts across Lemmy trying to organize this.

There it was presented as blocking shipping ports. I thought that was odd. Wasn't sure how that was going to affect Israel, but whatever.

Then the day comes and they're doing this low effort reposting-of-a-meme-everyone-has-seen-already version of protest and I just rolled my eyes.

Me: That's what I just said!

I'm on Firefox. Images are always reasonable size.

Go to the article and jump down to point #4. That's the central point and something your response doesn't address at all.

I suspect the point was that if there's more houses than people to live in them.... you do the math.

At the moment, it’s unknown if there was ever a real-world person behind this username or if Jia Tan is a completely fabricated individual.

Well, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a platypus. There was definitely one or more real-world people behind this. I doubt anyone thinks that their name is actually Jia Tan, though.

US: "Stop blowing up Russian oil refineries."

Ukraine: "Then fucking help us, for christ sake!"

the Georgia GOP’s first vice chairman, violated state election laws by voting while on probation for forgery and other felonies,

Where the fuck do they find these people? It's like Republicans are intentionally lampooning themselves.
