“Bear” and “Bull” as terms are so cringe and I can’t put my finger on why.

I think I just associate them with grifters and idiots.

Yay! Cheaper goods for everyone else. Thanks USA!

Just don’t impose a stamp tax and you should be golden.

Lol, if it’s gonna happen, can it really get underway in the next 3 weeks?

The Australian Labor party could ride its credentials from the previous recession, which we basically came out of unscathed, into another term of government. Anything to avoid the Libs (the conservatives, confusingly for everyone else outside Australia).

Might be a bit of a stretch though, since we won’t be able to sell as much raw materials to China as we did back then.

Anything to keep the Libs out of power, pls.

It’s crazy that people thought Trump’s plans were a good idea. Or that they still do, even now.

“Slams”. Look at what journalists did to our boy!

Props to musk. He’s doing what the rest of the oligarchs are doing. He’s just making it plainly obvious.

Hopefully people then start to wake up to who their enemies truly are.

Oh don’t get me wrong. The strong adherence to pacifism is laudable. But they have not reckoned with their atrocities committed during and prior world war II. They practically deny them ever happening.

Your whataboutism is not appreciated.

Japan has never really reckoned with its past. They were just pacified.

I judge the country as a whole for this, since they keep electing politicians who continue to do very little to reckon with their past.

I feel a lot could be gained by apologising to the people and nations for the past, and nothing lost, other than nationalistic pride, bring forced into self reflection, and being genuinely sorry on behalf of the country.

People who think they shouldn’t apologise because it wasn’t them personally are stupid, frankly, and standing in the way of reducing tensions.

Will it fix everything in the region? No. Will it take some of the steam out of the war machine? Probably.

Ugh. They’re probably worse than a lot of them.

Abducting extremely young children into their cult. Teaching them to suppress their emotions, telling them to cut all families ties.

Someone ought to order their temples shut down to bring peace and stability to the galaxy world.

In true modern Microsoft fashion. Remove features, lock forum posts of people asking for them back. Provide no reason. Profit because apparently this shit is crack to companies.

And when you’re the US president, they let you do it

Seems so arbitrary that they just block the entire project instead of the user in the sanctioned region.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Probably for the best, GitHub seems like a liability (to a lamen like me, anyway)

I ported !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world. Because of its limited volume, it’s barely an effort to moderate.

Just start the communities you want to see :)

Would he not have already sold most when they went public?

Dude is a right wing commentator. This is part for the course.

DEI is just something they’re using as a dog whistle. It’s always about class first.

She’s rich, so he’s an honourary white

Though, really shows what an absolute wanker JD Vance is, since under his administration is certainly going to be way worse be to of indian decent in his country.

What a shit husband and father.

It’s absolutely wild they expect you to pay taxes when you don’t live there, and I’m pretty sure not widly practiced by other countries.

Last I checked you can only thread a conversation one level down from the channel and that’s it (when I last used it like 5 years ago).

To me that’s practically unusable for what it’s supposed to be. Slack even does a better job, in my opinion.

I find Australia’s travel advice contradictory.

No offence to people living in the US, but I’d say most people in Australia would think many places in the US are not generally as safe as here.

For political reasons (we are the US’ vassals, see $300 bn submarines), we will likely hold out a long time before heightening headline travel advice, but to me some of the advice given does not fall under the category of exercising “normal safety precautions” as is claimed by DFAT:

• Violent crime is more common in the United States than in Australia. Gun crime is also prevalent. If you live in the United States, learn and practice active shooter drills.

• There is a persistent threat of mass casualty violence and terrorist attacks in the United States. Be alert, particularly in public places and at events.

Practicing active shooter drills isn’t normal. At all.
