Mate? I’ve never heard an American say mate.

…or didn’t live in end stage capitalism where it’s impossible to afford anything.

It’s been a couple of hours.

I think I figured out one reason Trump is going after Greenland. It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.

I was parallel parked.

I’m sitting behind a California plate that reads “88 RISE”. Is that…?

Russia and other authoritarian states realized what a boon for disinformation the internet was and wrecked it starting with the 2016 election.

Is it the formic acid? I bet it is.

I actually think this represents something much more ominous. Everyone on here assumes he’s incompetent because he’s bankrupted companies before. He’s done that with reason, and likely it was because he’s laundered money using the trick. I think in the case of the RNC and his campaign funds it indicates he’s found fraudulent means to pay for everything and he has access to tremendous amounts of dark money via foreign adversaries. The Truth Social IPO is one possible source. I actually doubt that one because he likely sees it as his own money. PACs will close the gap, but I’d be willing to bet there’s some other scheme filling his coffers. Draining alternative sources of money for GOP candidates also enables him to manipulate everyone down ballot since they’ll be aware of the scheme or stuck on his teat. This is a very, very bad sign for politics and we’re at the endgame for a US totalitarian government.

Will you shut up, man.

Having a minority opinion is no reason for being verbally abused. You’re out of line.

Fair, and I certainly got people’s attention.

Critical race theory, assuming you’re not a clown.

Sort of. I’m saying mocking only lowers the overall dialogue into the shitter, which doesn’t serve the purpose you think. It may make you feel morally superior, but does nothing to fix the issue, and arguably further entrenches the two sides.

Lemmy was already dying, just look at plots of active users since the Reddit API flap. It’s going down not up. The sooner it does, the sooner a stronger decentralized platform, or newer version of Lemmy, can take it’s place. It’s current iteration is a rickety Reddit clone that suffers from rolling defederation.

Not close at all, but ok.
