I’m sorry, what? Is it not a ultranationalist political ideology to write laws oppressing people because they are different than you and constantly using America as your belief system (Make America Great Again)? Laws that quote “natural social hierarchy” of men and women when science and nature prove constantly that there are variations?

No. No. I think it is you who is the uneducated one. The one without critical literacy or a lens to see the enactment of fascism. Germany was not the first or the last, and this is just another rise to the idea of fascism.

A lot of these are for people who are rewards members. They benefit those that go most often, which is great. I was just expecting more for someone who doesn’t go to these places regularly.

Then you tell them you will call them back, hang up, call the bank yourself and do it that way. If they are legit, they can tell you their name and extension and you can verify that is even real when you personally call the bank.

You can tell by the way that it is!

Ugh, I hate to say it but if they still support him after that then maybe he’s right?

I literally don’t understand the people downvoting you. There’s a whole reason IT exists because people are fucking stupid and do stupid shit with their freedoms. This, in turn, can really hurt others (viruses, worms, botnets, etc) and opening things up really just means larger attack spaces with many more vectors for entry.

I understand the wallet holding aspect, but we should be expecting informed decisions from consumers. Doesn’t the whole of Lemmy bitch about what we’ve done here in America because of being uninformed? Same principles apply to even lesser things like tech.

So, they (the Russians being investigated) likely had ties to Trump, Musk, or both? Get rid of her and dismantle the investigations with Trump’s own appointee, plus it installs another for his side.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing or trying to say here.

My family is quite left and my child constantly stands up for kids who are different. In summer he always does a lemonade stand to donate to a charity of his choice and has been doing this for about 5 years now. He’s raised money and donated 100% to GLSEN, refugees (like UNHCR), a local charity that helps provide toys and needed goods for children, a cancer research group, and more.

None of that is stuff we pushed him into. He is just that kind of a person and has been consistently. He fights the good fight, we support him, and we try to help others when we can.

If you’re arguing that I should be out there causing disturbances, then I’d just like to ask what exactly you are doing in the same vein?

That works as well. I was going to delete my Facebook but decided posting things supporting minorities and other groups while being an annoyance to the right was more important.

I have a child. I’d rather not screw his life for an ideal where I alone will have minimal/no real impact. I am indeed in a better position than most though and I fully admit that.

Oh, we are? Is that why everyone other than hetero white males is getting mentions removed or protections gutted and/or removed? What part of the constitution that provides rights to all Americans is in play when this is happening? Go ahead, I’ll wait…

That would be my response.

Trump has support in all levels of government, and a great amount of it too. This didn’t happen just overnight in Jan of 2025. Biden had opposition who would hold him accountable for dictator stuff (as well as supporters who would hold him accountable depending on what he did) but Trump now has a larger support base to pull off his shit because control at the top is across his party.

That’s why Biden couldn’t do it but Trump can. It’s bullshit and we know it, but no one (including myself) is willing to revolt the way we should yet. We’re all worried about covering our own butts because the system we’ve grown up with is still mostly here so there is still hope that we can change it via our system. We may very well regret this later though.

Orange mother fucker didn’t personally sign my Covid stimulus check. I’m not sure it actually came from him! He didn’t do that…

I should donate to Wikipedia

American responding here.

JD Vance and Trump both told Zelenskyy that he never said thank you for our help. They are such fucking twats and ignore how many times he’s said it in the past publicly.

❤️ Much thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I’m willing to spend a little to try something!

Absolutely. I always forget about local distilleries.

Never had the Jameson black barrel. That’s a new one to try! Never heard of “Swear Nar” but I do like that name. 😃

Nice! I have always enjoyed the typical Jameson, but I’ll check out the mid tier stuff.
