Who?

What a convoluted way to tell someone that you can’t counter their argument.

Let me give you a different starting point: why would it be better if the collapse/downfall of the USA happened more slowly?

I didn’t claim that Democrats are the salvation. I have no suggestions on fixing your political system. Just pointing out the fact that Trump was elected. Twice. So this goes even deeper than politicians and their cronies - it’s a huge part of the population that’s rotten along with them.

Another reason is that it’s not like there was a coup and the population is being held hostage. They voted for this. Twice.

Just to clarify, the only reason he’s a threat is because Americans voted him into office twice.

It’s the lesser evil in this case.

This George Carlin quote comes to mind:

Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you’re at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, “Japanese-Americans 1942” and you’ll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.

In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That’s all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was…right this way! Into the internment camps.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most…their government took them away. and rights aren’t rights if someone can take em away. They’re priveledges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get’s shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

Probably also a big reason why it’s less profitable - consumers are upgrading more and more slowly. In part because of the performance gains being smaller, in part because a lot of components are getting more expensive. In that way it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

Software has also gone to shit performance wise, few things really get optimized anymore and there’s frameworks and containers behind everything.

What does consent have to do with attraction?

Do you accept that people can prefer partners older or younger than them? If so, do you really think that’s something that can be dealt with by some kind of “conversion therapy”?

You’re probably not the only one out there. Maybe someone else would see it differently and pound your head in for less. That frees up the sandwich and anything else in your possession.

It doesn’t have to be a civil war. Unless the brain dead MAGA crowd sides with the obscenely rich, a couple of hangings would do.

Either way, if you think a few lemmy comments will turn the tide then it’s already too late.

If engineers were the ones in control that would mean something.

As I see it, phone manufacturers have zero reasons to keep the battery degradation low, but many reasons to push advertised capacity and charging speed. If you were cynical, you could also assume that they’re trying to make sure the battery doesn’t last too long because they want to keep selling new phones.

This is America.

This isn’t for him, it’s for the Crown so they can get some distance. I’d say too little too late, but we will see how the public will react.

Got any specific videos to recommend?

Trump doesn’t hate the USA. He is just using it to further himself, like anything else in his life.

The mockery is that Trump is more of an embodiment of America than most realize.

Using lemmy increases its popularity which in turn leads to more donations or other benefits.
