It’s kind of amusing how all the sources for this community are complete crap. Zerohedge, breitbart, dailywire are all as biased as can be.
- Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me. 2 weeks ago:
Just look at the argumentative, insulting and provocative discussion style. OP is absolutely a troll of some sort, alright it’s difficult to distinguish that from a typical deluded and fanatical conservative.

OP should have as many kids as possible. What are they waiting for?

Too bad republicans don’t even remotely give a fuck about making sure those babies have decent lives and support after they’re born.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 4 weeks ago:
They get manipulated about and distracted by certain issues. The people who want power know this and exploit topics such as guns, abortion, fear of crime, racism/nationalism, sexism, economic issues and taxes. Plenty of people vote republican because they have been convinced that Democrats will take their guns, allow in too many immigrants (with the implicit idea that immigrants are bad somehow), be worse on the economy, lower taxes, let criminals get off easy, reduce the influence of Christianity, and so forth.
There’s also the decades of propaganda about socialism and communism, and against social safety nets as well as government and anything run by the government vs a private entity. So basically, because they’re not very aware or well informed and all themselves to be convinced by propaganda.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker 4 weeks ago:
I’m actually in a situation somewhat like this. A girl our online group knows became somewhat fixated on me. She wants to talk all the time, fantasizes about us living together, but I know she has a long term bf. She isn’t happy with him, but still, they love together and we know him, so it’s fairly inappropriate.

Right, if all you eat is meat, wheat, corn syrup and potatoes, no problem!

- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 weeks ago:
Why try that? It’s terribly regressive economic and taxation policy. It’s essentially a huge sales tax.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 weeks ago:
That’s the problem. Trump is a complete fucking idiot, so just because something is a terrible strategy doesn’t mean he won’t do it. Look what happened last time with the tariffs on Chinese goods and the small trade war he sparked that screwed over soy exports. Did Trump learn anything from that? Or his voters? Evidently not.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 weeks ago:
It sure would help if Americans weren’t generally ignorant about uh… tons of stuff and especially anything that involves other countries. All sorts of fruits and vegetables are imported - green beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, lettuce, berries, bananas, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. And then at the same time, the Trump bros want to crack down on groups of people who make up a large portion of the domestic agricultural workforce? It’s difficult to see some conservative policies as intended to do anything other than just fuck people over and cause chaos.

Oh. I thought it was supposed to be about how hard it would be to do stuff while carrying around spoons in your hands all day.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 2 months ago:
“Waahhh” huh? What a ridiculous reply.
Okay, how’s Tommy Tuberville? But who cares. I’m not visiting your “x” link but sources I’ve seen don’t even have pelosi in the top 10. Republicans are just obsessed with attacking her even now that she’s not Speaker. Talk about “waahhh”. That’s fine, if you want to engage in massive hypocrisy, wring your hands about imaginary problems and pretend everything bad is democrats, that’s very on brand for conservatives.
Anyway, yes, you should be concerned about ethical lapses of Congress members even if you don’t recognize their names.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 2 months ago:
Republicans are obsessed with pelosi owning stocks as if she’s the only person in Congress who does it. I guess it takes the heat of everyone else… I read a list of the top 10 stock owners and profit makers in Congress, one of course the top ones were republicans.

I got into tool with Aenima and it didn’t leave my car cassette player for two months. Thankfully they were more into talking shit about Henry Rollins at the time.
- Comment on Illegal immigrant arrested after stabbing of teen girl at Indiana baseball game: police 3 months ago:
where did the “notorious American and social security card-carrying U.S. citizen” part come from? It doesn’t seem like a phrase that would be in an NBC article.
- Comment on Illegal immigrant arrested after stabbing of teen girl at Indiana baseball game: police 3 months ago:
For some reason “immigrant assaults woman” is ‘conservative’ news, but “alabama pastor molests 10 kids” doesn’t garner a mention. I wonder what that means, could it be that it’s an anti-immigrant agenda and nothing to do with protecting innocent people?

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Right, like “hey I’m going to post insulting and repetitive tripe and empty slogans, and make Lemmy worse after lunch today!” Great. Also, as countless people have pointed out, if they care so passionately about Palestinians, their activities are contrary to helping Palestine so…
- Comment on How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty? 3 months ago:
right, i’m super out of date but you;d want to do shred or some dd dev/random > device thing to securely erase them.
- Comment on How is it possible for the IT experts to recover data that was erased from a hard drive when the storage of said hard drive appears empty? 3 months ago:
Because of how filesystems work. There’s basically an index that tells the OS what files are stored where on the disk. The quickest way of deletion simply removes the entry in that table. The data is still there, though. So a data recovery program would read the entire disk and try to rebuild the file allocation table or whatever by detecting the beginning and ends of files. This worked better on mechanical drives than SSDs.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
A nice illustration is Republican media operatives are trying to attack Harris with “we checked with McDonald’s corporate and they have no record of her working there!”. For one, McD’s is franchisees and I doubt corporate tracks every burger flipper. Next, of course they’re trying to claim she’s dishonest, but what about the greater question: Did fuckin Trump ever come anywhere near McDonald’s? No, he inherited about $400 million, has misconstrued it it repeatedly (‘a small loan of a million dollars’, as if that is relatable either) and has never had any sort of normal job that required discipline or labor, ever.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
I’ve started to wonder if it’s even a real person. They don’t respond with any measure of logic or awareness to anything at all, just “liberals want genocide!!” over and over.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
What he’s saying makes no sense at all, in real life. Voting for candidates who support voting reform at the state level is the way to get more choices on national ballots. Convincing otherwise D voters to vote for 3rd parties helps Trump. Maybe not MAGA scum, maybe just misguided and clueless? Who can tell.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Best I can tell, the sinister goal of getting Trump elected because this tripe sure isn’t going to help Palestinians.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
There have been people pushing this on Lemmy all year (previously against Biden) and that’s correct. They can never really respond to logic about how their concepts would result in Trump being more likely to win, which would be worse for Palestinians. Or how Trump’s many other horrific policies would be worse for a huge number of other people, such as Central Americans and trans people. Just “genocide bro!!” over and over.
There have been a few pathetic attempts at making logic for it like “I can’t vote to support genocide!” (As in, vote 3rd party? So, convince an other wise D voter to vote 3rd party - who does that help? Huh) or “we need to send the democrats a message so they reform!”. Not by throwing the election to Trump, no. Someone a few months ago was insisting “we’re just not supporting Biden now to pressure him, then of course we’ll vote for him in the general election”. Ah yes, by smearing him all over social media for months, you’re supporting Biden and progressive politics. I totally believe that.
