All but impossible, the major players keep an eye on all the things necessary for nuclear weapons.

Well they must just all be morons then since they live there but you solved it with no actual information about their infrastructure or logistics or anything. That’s the kind of people we need in the C suite!

AT&T used to include Usenet access as part of your Internet connection

And this was commonly seen as a Bad Thing (see the Eternal September) because normies change the culture of specialist spaces when they show up in large numbers.

50? 100% of all wealth, income, property, and capital in excess of $1b combined. Give em a badge that says “Capitalism Winner” and take all their shit.

There was a while when the US was on top, revolutionizing automotive manufacturing. Ford’s Model T and later Model A sold like crazy.

Damn near the entire internet is “social media” but people usually mean “social networking sites”.

the west was too modern, scientific, and secular to fall prey to this stuff.

Anyone who grew up openly atheistic could have told you this was bullshit the entire time, at least in the US. The normalization of Christian lunacy did not start with 9/11.

majority of Americans here

As in on Lemmy. It’s not exactly a right-wing bastion.

I dunno how world politics work at all.

You should probably just stay out of the conversation then and educate yourself.

“I don’t want to get hurt” isn’t a choice and I have to assume you’re like six years old if this is seriously the first time you’ve look at the way world politics work.

“We should simply let imperialist tyrants do whatever they want!”

I know it feels good to vent, but the vast majority of Americans here already hate most of the American government (and the private entities that guide it).

And since you brought them up, Germany didn’t solve its own Nazi problem. Help. And stay vigilant because this problem is not confined to the United States, the Anglosphere, or even the “West”. We’re just further along.

Moral purity is more important than results, clearly.

Fuck em. Stop giving religious people special rights and permissions and exceptions and privilege. Give them no new things and start taking away old ones.

“Vegetable” isn’t a botanical term, and I doubt something like cucumber or corn or snow peas would get the same pushback. The legal designation matters for taxation and is totally normal.

Boy, this thread is just loaded with reprehensible takes and dudes telling on themselves.

Closers and openers can complain about each other, FoH and BoH can banter, at the end of the day they’re all on the same team. Fuck off, service work is work.

This opinion is equal parts repellent and depressing. Get a hobby and a therapist, self-actualization is important.

I do find it oddly paradoxical that men who make it very clear that they are actively seeking sexual partners would disparage women for being sexually active.

They don’t want experienced, knowledgable, self-confident partners. They want naive young women they can gaslight and abuse.

By the standards of US presidents it wasn’t even that bad. More White Man’s Burden than bounties for scalps.
