Hey there! I dont use this account a whole ton, site mods tend to do most of the moderating. Since it came up though, I might refresh this announcement with a new title this evening. Thanks for the ping!

I think that approach fails to account foodie a lot of nuance!

I think this interaction was unfortunately abrasive, but both sides make sense here. I would like to see NYC culture do a better job of confronting that part of it’s heritage, just as much as I want that for my [west coast] city.

Obviously you were just saying a typical perspective of today.

Diesel engines drive me up the damn wall

I didn’t actually see it myself, but I heard a lot of people thought it looked AI at first and that it was genuine (alternate angles and stuff like you said). It’s good to check up on it (sounds like you actually put the effort in) so we can try to keep our facts straight, as hard as that is these days.

Just FYI to people that you can get remanufactured ink cartridges for a fraction of the price (around half) of OEM. They are sometimes modified to contain more ink in the same body. The company I purchased from included a prepaid bag to send used cartridges back for reuse.

Also while I’m in PSA mode “REDUCE, REUSE, and then recycle”. Sometimes we skip over the first two steps since reducing is not marketable and reusing rarely is (although reusing printer cartridges appears to be a sustainable business).

I think that video was confirmed

Just giving the app the CBS news treatment

It isn’t though. “Propaganda” has fluid definition, so I was hoping to get on the same page so we could continue the discussion. It’s always helpful to clarify terms before we just talk past each other.

I’m familiar with the comic, but it doesn’t represent the situation here at all. Is asking any sort of clarifying question to someone who is directly in my replies “sealioning” to you? I thought it represented an undesired and obnoxious series of questions by a third party, but I’m one of the primary participants in this conversation.

First part may be true, but I really don’t think you can directly blame China for that. The app itself is a tiny factor is the rise of the far right which has a lot more to do with the “in real life circumstances”.

I would also disagree that China gains much from a divided Europe. The argument could be made in theory, but it doesn’t align with what i’ve observed From Chinese foreign policy in practice.

The approach of amplifying divisions in other countries is more of a Russian tactic than anything. Russia stands to gain more from a divided Europe, and it would be in alignment with their foreign policy in practice. That said, I also think the Russian influence on these matters is a bit overstated at times, to the point where the actually issues aren’t being discussed. I notice it on the American side of things as well.

I guess it might help if you clarify what sort of content was propaganda to you?

They’re dabbing on us every day

“Yeah the “immigration enforcement” is blatantly my personal militia, it doesn’t have to male sense to you, you can’t do anything about it anyway. Watch me send them to Italy; see? it doesn’t matter!”

Yes, they literally explicitly said this. There also wasnt even “Chinese propaganda”, the just didn’t care to censor pro-palestine content and that’s unacceptable to the US.

Technically all of these responses are political. I think we know what OP meant though, and the discussion is all the better for it!

Tbf Gold_E_Lox was being snarky in the first place

I see, unfortunately I think it’s necessary though since the local feed is provided by the instance.

The post feeds are delivered server side, but Voyager supports multiple accounts if you want to tap over and see posts from another instance’s local feed?

Given that you’re underage, I’m going to lock this thread before it gets weird.

I hope you can find the community and support you need, especially if it is offline.

No offense (sounds like you questions were answered anyway), but I’m going to remove your post since c/asklemmy is not for support! Feel free to DM or use c/Lemmy if you need any more help!

Isn’t it kind of Trump’s way of doing business? That’s exactly where things are headed for people who stand up against him.
