I distinctly remember calling someone out as Nazi for misogynistic comments and yet denies being one, despite literally posting Nazi like slogans. Fascists love to act in bad faith and they know it.

Well, fair play to the current royal house. Prince Charles (he’ll always be a prince to me) upholds the liberal values and accountability since his grandfather’s time.

You’re over thinking. Whatever the Chinese government says, its citizens follow. China also did the same to South Korea many years ago of discouraging tourism, and it kind of worked and hurt the S. Korean economy.

You leave them to do an assignment and they will be on a game in 10 seconds unless you keep on them.

Why even have games in them? If I am an entrepreneur, a school notepad or laptop without games is a good business idea…

Because idea of winning is different from the rest of sane people.

Sorry, but the EU won’t accept the pre-Brexit deal with the UK. One just can’t have the cake and eat it. The EU don’t want another time wasting happening with other countries leaving the union as well, and regretting only to come back as if nothing happened.

It takes decades for innovative products, or seemingly useless ideas, to be commercially viable. That’s why the best response, when asked what is the purpose of doing research on seemingly useless topics, is to say “I don’t know, but I know it’s going to be taxed someday.”

People pay for subscription to ask AI?

So they know that AI is going to be unprofitable for near to medium term?

WHAT THE FUCK! THE GRANDJURY REFUSE TO INDICT?

Grand jury: We protect one of our own.

As a millenial who went through the shite by the media about how much of a snowflake we are by getting offended with everything, frivolous for ordering avocado toasts for breakfasts, and clueless and unequipped when it comes to working, I ask: “who raised us?” I remember the parents’ moral panic on videogames and cartoons in the 1990s and 2000s. Many kids of my generation weren’t let out because the boomer and Gen X parents were made afraid by the constant news cycle of serial killers and high crime rate. And they wonder why we’re so sheltered? Now, the media run by older generations are taking potshots at Gen Z claiming they are dumber. Even if that is the case, who are the ones who raised Gen Z to be constantly glued to the phone screen and watching brain rotting contents that led to lower IQ?

The next time the media complains such and such generation is behaving a certain way or being dumb, even if scientific study says so, ask yourself, who are raising these kids?

I think those who are in Lemmy would not bother to look up more about Jake Paul in more popular social media.

Yeah, at the moment a peaceful revolution might still work. As much as I think that the events unfolding require guillotines and a revolution, it’s clear that Trump is trying to provoke the people to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to say do not be afraid to start one, if it weren’t for the fact that the opposition is not united and unprepared for a potential conflict. It’s going to be like the Spanish Civil War, where the factions of anti-fascists-- the liberals, socialists, anarchists and communists-- were too busy shooting at each other than at fascists, which made Franco won the civil war and ushered in 40 years of totalitarianism in Spain.

The American left really needs to think about the possibility of a civil war if electoralism fails. Who’s going to organise and lead the opposition? Trump is Franco who has the military and support of Russia should it come to it. The American anti-fascists may not have any backing.

They’re obviously doing this for PR. As soon as Trump declared Liberation Day, I knew China would use the opportunity to present themselves as the better trading partner. I have seen a recent survey of Europeans saying they trust China more than the US.

But yeah, as recently revealed, the CIA has uncovered a plot by China to sit back, relax and watch the USA destroy itself.

That’s the Internet in general to begin with.

No, because pedophiles are elected to be in charge to protect them.

I’m more attracted to faces. If my wife still has as beautiful face wise as Brosnan’s wife, I’d be the luckiest man.

A lot of people don’t know about ICE because of personal distractions, but also the hyper-personalisation of mass media cooped all of us into our own bubble, which gives us information blindspot. We don’t really watch TV anymore, so we no longer share the same sources of information. Most people these days use social media for news, but the algorithm of social media curates our desires, which then forces us into a tunnel vision. Hence, we each live in different sets of reality, seeing only what the social media shows us.

But on the one hand, and I don’t know what to make of it, people genuinely switch off from the news because it makes them depress. I understand where they are coming from, but being completely cut off from news is just silly. A friend of mine did not even know about Trump threatening to take over Greenland.

I know through studies of the economic anxiety that the poor have, which led them to elect the populist right, but I didn’t personally feel it until I lived close to an underprivileged area. They do not get support from the government, and any social housing is blocked by the property-owning middle and wealthy class, because it brings down the property values. As a result, the poor are made to compete for limited resources with migrants, who themselves are victims of imperial capitalism through foreign interventions and environmental exploitation, leading to climate change and its resulting economic decline of the land prompt people to move. The competition for resources makes both locals and migrants go at each others throats, while the rich are laughing their way to the banks with the wealth pickpocketed from the rest of us.
