They want to privatize the post office but make TikTok government owned… JFC…

I know it’s confusing, but seriously, the DOE is the Department of Energy, please stop calling the Department of Education that.

Uh, we have absolutely not been the wealthiest country by per capita GDP that whole time. We have been the wealthiest country by GDP

There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

Good thing he’s not elected then…

Was milk of the poppy not obviously literally opium (unrefined morphine)?

Cyanide is legendarily fast acting. Among the fastest known poisons.

Thallium was pretty famous for this until its mechanism of toxicity and antidotes were better understood. Slow acting, tasteless, odorless, colorless, symptoms weird and mimic other things. Used to be used for rat poison but the risk of accidental exposure was too high. Requires late 1800s technology.

I was going to make a joke but honestly it’s refreshing and a good sign that Lemmy is starting to get used by people who don’t know what FOSS means now. Welcome.

Volkswagen is much less upfront about it. Lotta talk about the fun “people’s car” but not the slave labor making Nazi vehicles.

They get far more money being the foil of leftist movements by making themselves the only option for anything less far right than the conservatives and then paying lip service to the left while continuing to support moderate conservative policy.

I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.

You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.

I am… ALMOST sure they’re making a joke about farting keeping them awake.

People get a significant amount of their protein intake from sources that aren’t usually considered “proteins”. Lentils (and mung beans if you don’t think of them as lentils), wheat, rice etc all have significant amounts of protein (especially lentils). Yogurt and cheese has lots of it too. Not sure what part of India you’re in or what sort of food you’re mostly eating but my guess is you’re getting more protein than you realize.

Same reason we know what a liter is but still use pints and gallons. Because we recognize the value of the easy precision of metric when it’s needed but prefer imperial for our day to day lives.

Yeah, pretty much standard in hostile regime changes. ROC to PRC, Russian Empire to USSR, Italy multiple times, happens literally all the time in third world countries where regimes are toppled by first world backed forces to install a government more friendly to said first world country (pretty much exactly what happened in the US tbh)

Undereducated people who can’t stand the cognitive dissonance of the liberal control of CA, paying lip service to issues that actually affect the working class while enriching the elites, restricting freedom and protecting the stability of the status quo above all.
