I’m in my 30s and there’s literally video of Netanyahu saying Iran is “months away” from developing nuclear weapons from before I was born lmao

I expected terrible but Trump trampling on the Constitution at least 5(?) times within his first 100 days is still pretty shocking.

Tbf I don’t rely on this wiki or wikis on Reddit. I’ve found “free media heck yeah” (that’s literally the name of the site) to be a more thorough and frequently updated resource.

For even more context, this specific post has to be seen with other posts and comments made by the administration.

For example, the deportation ASMR video I also linked. Or Trump’s statement “they’re poisoning the blood of our country.” Or his statement “they’re not humans, they’re animals.” There are many others.

The larger trend of these instances is to dehumanize a specific group of people. So while this specific instance in isolation may not be sufficient to infer their larger message, when it is seen in the larger context then it becomes clear.

Source for anyone

Also let’s never forget the deportation ASMR video

The cruelty is the point

And in fact, if someone doesn’t care about the suffering of animals, I want nothing to do with them.

You shouldn’t make fun of those people either…

It’s absolutely wild how the first time around, everyone left of center was against Trump, even if it was only posturing. This time around, he’s even worse and the same people are literally supporting him.

That worked, thanks! I was able to get my token. Unfortunately, it looks like the module ‘does not support track downloading’ lol. Guess I’ll just use a site downloader for this. Normally I use the Qobuz module anyway but this particular release wasn’t on Qobuz.

You can check out this module for OrpheusDL. I haven’t personally used that Apple Music module but I have used OrpheusDL and it grabs lossless from other services. Not sure if Atmos changes things though.

Jesus never said anything about trans people either yet Christians sure act he did

Yeah I agree with the sentiment, use whatever is good for you, but I feel like most advanced linux users are not using Mint. They typically come to the realization that everything is either Debian, Arch, or build it yourself so they use one of those.

Election of 1860: am i joke to u?

Ah I did not see that, makes sense. Thanks for the response, as I said I’m happy to be on lemm.ee! I also understand there are legitimate reasons for blocking or defederating and appreciate that lemm.ee doesn’t do it all the time like other instances.

Thanks, these look like good resources for seeing who blocks who. fba.ryona.agency shows reasons for some instances that have blocked lemm.ee but none for the instances that lemm.ee has blocked unfortunately.

Then there would be 2,639 billionaires instead of 2,640 billionaires.

…it’s not moving the goalposts. My initial comment stated it was a problem and that’s what my second comment said.

Again, cancer only kills ~600k in a year, which is only 2/10ths of 1% of the population. Better yet, it kills over 10x more people than car accidents. Does that mean car safety isn’t worth talking about?

And I’m not saying there isn’t a problem

This statement makes me think you are saying that:

…do you see why some people are saying this isn’t really worth talking about?

I do think this is worth talking about, just like I think the hundreds of death row convictions that have been overturned are worth talking about or the ~500k homeless Americans are worth talking about or the kids who have been killed in school shootings are worth talking about. These are all tiny percentages of people but they are still problems that are preventable so we should try to prevent them, which requires talking about them.

I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BA- sorry wrong artist

Among the 61.5 million U.S. residents age 16 or older in 2018 who had contact with police during the prior 12 months, 1.3 million (2%) experienced threats or use of force from police

Yes, there are 300 million but that negate the problem of police violence. You could make this argument about anything: gun violence, car crashes, even cancer. Their deaths are all a percent of a percent of the population.

No one is saying police violence is the number one killer in the country. The issue being raised is one side is saying it’s a problem and the other is saying actually it’s not a problem at all.
