We still haven’t. He’s not a felon, and he’s not a rapist. You should really actually read the articles instead of the headlines.
Funnily enough, there’s been rapists in office before, like Bill Clinton, a democrat.

Skyrim. Sure, no single part is particularly good, but the whole of it is greater than the sum of it’s part.

They’re talking about the moderates on both sides. I can probably assume you aren’t.

Ergonomic is bad now? Should I throw out my ergonomic keyboard? My keyboard might assault someone!

Dude get off lemmy. Go outside, talk to your neighbors.
Nothings changed, we’re still a giant group of humans. Only your perception has changed.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 days ago:
There’s been a lot of protests. How massive is mass is up to you though.
Although, a lot of people really like the way things are going, and a lot of anger is just terminally online bozos who don’t even live in America.

To some extent. We need a good ally in the middle east. I’d say that Germany should be the one footing the bill, but they’re not a particularly reliable ally when it comes to military funding.
Israel is a pretty unique case, and they’re surrounded by those who have done harm and wish to do more harm to us. It’s not a great position, but it’s the one they’re in.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 4 days ago:
Pretty much. Somethings are going to be the same, they’re just that obvious, the sky is blue, water is wet, and we should deport illegal immigrants. But a lot of p25 goes well beyond that.

Because Israel is literally the only liberal country in the middle east, relatively speaking. If they can expand their influence, less women will be oppressed, less gay people will get thrown off buildings, and Jewish people won’t be massacred until there’s none left in the middle east.
And why are siding with Hamas and Hezbollah? Do you hate LGBT people? Do you just hate women? Do you just want to see the aggressors win?
I bet you didn’t even know that they’ve been attacking this entire time. Just yesterday, Hamas fired 3 rockets in an attempt to kill more civilians. www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2dr7jd7mno Or maybe you do know and you like killing civilians?

So tell me, how does funding a musical in Ireland help with that?

Was it really do well, or was it doing well for the rich? Because all I ever heard on Lemmy was that they were broke and oppressed by the system.
And the whole dei shit was a badly worded EO compounded by bad actors upset with the EO. You should actually read the EO if you’re curious, it’s not long. He did not ban any of those words.
How is that something to mention? It sounds so minor, I doubt he knew of it. And getting advice from a variety of people is a good thing and probably helped. Why are you against it?
They are not taking away passports. If you read the damn article, one transman had trouble renewing his, and the bureaucracy was taking it’s time figuring it out. I ran into the same damn thing when I renewed mine two years ago, and I’m cis. Not every single issue is because of your identity. Sometimes shit happens.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 4 days ago:
Yes I do. We have chip fabs, car factories, steel mills, all sorts of things. But they’ve been hurt by the likes of China for a very long time.
Did you know Gary Indiana used to have a Steel Mill? And it was when it closed that Gary went to shit?
And we can do both. We already are subsidizing lots of things.

Tbh, I only ever read the cliff notes. I never read the hundreds of pages, I had better things to do with my time.

- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 4 days ago:
Trump’s plan is an attempt at putting America’s economy back on track. Protective tariffs, less “aid” to foreign nations, deporting illegal immigrants, not acting like the world’s police when it’s Europe that will be affected most, that sort of thing.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 4 days ago:
I see Trump’s plan as Trump’s plan. P25 holds some similarities, some things are just that obvious, like illegal immigrants should be deported, but it’s not Trump’s plan. P2025 is it’s own thing, some wishlist created by some think tank that got picked up by the news because it’s so stereotypical.
I think that Trump’s plan is an attempt to put America back on the right track economically.
Protective tariffs for instance, are a pretty standard way of protecting domestic industry. It’s expensive to comply with OSHA and labor laws, it’s a lot cheaper to make stuff in China and ship it over here. Tariffs make it so that it’s no longer cheaper. Bernie Sanders agrees, even if can’t directly agree with Trump. …senate.gov/…/sanders-statement-on-trump-tariffs/
Does p25 have anything on tariffs? No, they don’t.
P25 does have stuff on things like racial discrimination, which no politician in their right mind would support.

I still don’t see them as Trump’s actual plan.
I’m like one of three conservatives here, do you really expect a response?
- Comment on How much of a risk is it for naturalized US Citizens (or those with Derivative Citizenship) to protest against the US government, compared to natural-born US Citizens? 1 week ago:
Absolutely none from the government. We aren’t like Canada, the UK, or Australia. We actually have freedom of speech here.

Because that’s what those data points show, how well the billionaires are doing

Are you guys suddenly for billionaires and corporations now?
- Comment on I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car. 1 week ago:
Past a certain point, money can’t buy any more happiness. Sure, you have a house, but what is it worth if there’s no one to share it with?
- Comment on What happens to all the used guns? 1 week ago:
They don’t wear out really. Most what happens is a new barrel, which takes a ridiculous amount of rounds, and on most guns is easily replaceable.
Hell, I have an old 1911 from my grandfather’s father, has had a lot of rounds through it, and I still take it to the range. Works just fine.
- Comment on can European intelligence substitute the American one? 2 weeks ago:
To some extent. But intelligence is worthless if there’s no one to act on that intelligence, and European militaries are woefully understaffed and underfunded.

- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. I have a very strong suspicion that you were brought in to be cheap abusable labor. It sucks but that’s the point of the program.
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 3 weeks ago:
Are you an H1b worker? Yeah, you were most likely brought over because you’re easier to underpay and abuse. I’m sorry if that’s the case.
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 3 weeks ago:
By definition, no. You can volunteer for a non profit, like the Linux foundation, but you won’t make much money.

That’s probably exactly what that is
