Renouncing? Won’t that make it harder for the others to vote better leaders into office?

Isn’t this what Trump wants?

I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.

Edit: I dunno why but this post is getting botted by a bunch of new accounts from Lemmy.org

The only times I’ve noticed lemmy.org were because of bad, bot-like behavior. Is that instance just a bot farm?

Raise your hand if you suspect the shooter incident was more like an orchestrated fundraiser.

And you know that everybody in his mother would send money

Um… Did you by any chance use automated dictation to write your comment?

I don’t own a google or motorola phone, so now what?

Campaign for your favorite phone manufacturer to make a phone with the features required by GrapheneOS, and when they do, make that your next phone.

Or use something other than GrapheneOS.

They recently announced a partnership with Motorola Mobility (a subsidiary of China’s Lenovo) to offer it on a non-Google phone. Is this what you had in mind?

Note that “rather undermines” does not mean “completely negates”. In any case…

30% less range for 60% less cost always makes economic sense.

Be sure to let everyone know when this new mix sells for 60% less than the current mix.

Ethanol does not prematurely dissolve seals and hoses on any car made in the last 30 years,

As far as I can tell, it’s closer to 25 years. Be sure to let everyone with an older car know when you plan to buy them an upgrade.

I get that Americans can’t do simple math,

Lots of assumption and rudeness in your comment. Please learn to be better. Goodbye.

The concern for most people is not the range of a gas tank. It’s about the fact that they’ll have to fill the tank more often, which means paying more often to travel the same distance, which rather undermines the claim of lowering the cost.

The price per mile matters more than the price per gallon.

And then there’s the additional cost of repairs when the ethanol prematurely dissolves your car’s seals and hoses.

Response to your edit:

I am not among those who downvoted, but since you asked, I’ll offer a guess as to why so many people did:

1. The way you phrased your second sentence, it could be interpreted to mean that you consider the story to be inappropriate here. Perhaps some people (especially those who read Lemmy while in a hurry) thought that was what you meant. It could have been made more clear if you had written, “this was reported…”.

2. This story is relevant to people all over the world, while the complaint you received was that it concerns a US company. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. I believe more than a few members of this community, maybe even most, recognize that fact, and find it unacceptable for their news channel to obstruct information that concerns them just because the source happens to be in the US.

   To be clear, the rule here forbids “United States Internal News”. The rule does not forbid “News emerging from the United States”. Since the policies of a major global reference source like Wikipedia are clearly not US internal news, some community members surely recognize that flagging it for removal was inappropriate. I happen to share this view, and this is not an isolated incident.

   Once in the past, I submitted a scientific report, and it was removed here on the grounds that the scientists were in the US. The post was not “United States Internal News” and did not break any of the community’s rules. It was scientific research, without geographic or political boundaries. It was relevant to everyone. And yet it was denied visibility to us, the members here. I found that absurd, and deeply concerning: This community, which positions itself as a global information source, was filtering out information in a way that we have come to expect from state-owned media in authoritarian regimes. And it was presuming to treat scientific research as though it were somehow invalid just because it had been done in the US.

Edit:

In any case, I hope this helps you to understand some likely reasons why your comment received downvotes.

Those of us who have walked in the moderator’s shoes for long enough will come to understand that sometimes it’s the complaint that is misguided, not the target of the complaint, and that broadcasting such complaints (as you did here) gives them an air of validity that they do not deserve.

I considered that the nonprofit organization behind Wikipedia is in the US, but decided that World News is appropriate in this case, since a great deal of the world relies on it, and since its content comes from international contributors. So I guess our thoughts are mostly aligned.

Thanks for allowing it.

The TSA shouldn’t have been formed in the first place. It’s expensive, invasive security theater.

Isn’t Tucker Carlson one of the prominent media personalities that spent years influencing voters to support the political faction that put Trump in power?

Does he expect sympathy now?

attempting to smuggle more than 2,000 queen garden ants out of the country.

It is believed that the intended destinations were the exotic pet markets in Europe and Asia.

Nobody has claimed otherwise.

But he’s unlikely to get much sympathy from people who notice that what he does for work shouldn’t be allowed, let alone paid out of their pockets.

If he wants taxpayer money, perhaps he should consider a line of work that’s beneficial to taxpayers.

Our current car use per capita is unsustainable.

Either we reduce it, or we reduce human reproduction and survival rates.

Reducing the use of cars would help.
