These people literally think we’re broke when in reality, if we cut our defense budget by like, 25%, we could probably give candy to the entire fucking nation (I did not do the math).

But it’s absurd. Let people enjoy their fucking rations, Jesus Christ. Nobody wants to be on food stamps.

Joe Rogan and Donald Trump are feuding and it’s actually fucking consequential…

What an absurd statement. What did I do in a previous life to deserve this damnation?

Is this free association?

Do you know what the Gestapo was? Abu Griahb is not analogous at all. Two completely different (both awful) things.

Your photos were taken in Afghanistan.

The Gestapo operated domestically

Wild shit… Just wow.

I don’t see it as a bad thing as the troll isn’t the only person reading these comments.

You are right. There needs to be a public follow-up of some of these decisions to assess their multi-degree effects.

Yeah, that’s called a fucking trial.

Even if it was, they still deserve due process. Everyone deserves and is entitled to due process.

This isn’t new, this shit goes back 800+ years to the Magna Carta.

Complete nonsense. I truly hope this person doesn’t actually exist (though I know there are people like this)

I wouldn’t be sure. His professor from Wharton said he was the “dumbest fucking student he’s ever had”

You must be new to lemmy

Reader mode is great, and I’m surprised every time it still works to bypass paywalls

Too late man… Have you seen the comments here? We’ve got people unironically saying “blue MAGA”.

After everything that’s happened, they’re still pretending both sides are the same. It’s pathetic.

Unfortunately, it seems this needs to happen to wake people the fuck up.

Another article today about people literally having no concept of why the websites they’re shopping on is suddenly way more expensive (and explicitly showing the tariff costs).

People are surprised by this, and many of them have literally never even heard the word “tariff” before.

Always hearing about how bad these NY prisons are, and that makes me wonder just how awful they are in red states who purposely refuse to even collect the statistics (or provide them to the public).

Is NY really that much worse, or are they the only ones with at least a small degree of transparency?

Straw men are ubiquitous on this site… It’s always the final destination of every discussion with someone “just asking questions” (yet somehow hitting every right wing talking point).

Lemmy has a lot of benefits over reddit, but I believe people have started to realize that it’s very simple to game and astroturf.

Not saying that’s the case here, just something I’ve noticed recently.

I wish.

But no, I’m someone who knows what the Gestapo was and actually did.

So then why do you care?

Maybe do like 5 min of research to learn how the treatment works and why it’s completely safe?

when UV sterilization exists and is proven.

And costs orders of magnitude more.

Using chlorine to treat drinking water is fine dude, just stop.
