I’m not suicidal and never have been, but I’ve certainly had dark thoughts. If I were ever pushed to that point, the pain I would inflict on those I care about would be the reason I couldn’t do it.

Georgia senator by the looks of the picture.

If it’s civil, the DOJ can eat a bag of dicks.

When/if the judge starts arresting people involving, the charges need to be for murder. If they can prove that he’s alive, the charges can be lowered to abduction and attempted murder, plus everything. Throw the fucking book at them, and find a way to make it not federal, pardonable charges.

While I agree, I’m guessing most of these properties will be purchased by a company like Black Rock or as additional houses for US citizens, since I’m guessing most properties are vacation destinations.

It’s probably better that Americans own the properties, but I think it’s splitting hairs, and I think it’s worse if they go to a company rather than a Canadian. Unless that Canadian is a billionaire, then fuck 'em.

Hopefully with himself

Are you asking if the stricter EU laws around social media in the EU could affect how something like lemmy.world could exist there vs the US?

Uh, le fuck off.

The media hasn’t been beaten into submission, it’s owned by MAGA billionaires. There are plenty of independent media news sources reporting facts, but they don’t have the same reach.

They really were hoping to find the one place that was willing to ostracize themselves for the headlines and the clicks. Thank you Greenland for fighting the good fight.

Diplomatically, this is as good as it gets, unfortunately.

Being in NATO should be the bare minimum for requirements.

I learned on automatic but got a manual about 5 years ago. This past November I went on a trip with friends and we were able to rent a manual car for cheaper because I could drive one and it was the norm in the country we were in. Nice skill to have, but not required. I’d learn manual if you have the option.

If they’d have not flip flopped, they wouldn’t have alienated both demographics. They make so much fucking money that they could have taken measures to protect employees from psychos that attacked them. Instead they were cowards and gave in. Now they are using the current political climate as an excuse to further enshitify the company.

I’m fortunate enough that I have options around me. I’m not saying I will do no shopping there, but I will try almost anywhere else but Amazon and Walmart before I bite the bullet.

I said it before. Stop sending aluminum and steel and aerospace and military manufacturing would suffer immensely. That is 90%+ of all good made, metals have strict import requirements and certifications, and we couldn’t just make our own on a whim.

It was obviously performative when Trump said, “you don’t get to tell us what we’re going to feel” when Zelensky said that the US will feel the effect of the war.

It’s was after JD already escalated and Trump had to grab something to be a critical about, and that was the arbitrary point he decided to cling onto. He had to because JD upped the ante and Trump HAD to do something to keep up

Hopefully the threat of pressure will be enough.

Intentional word choice to not get banned for calling for violence. But yea, I’ve got 3 house reps, a governor, and two senators that I wouldn’t lose sleep over if I saw their names in the obits.

Too many people put too much weight if martyrdom. Personally, I think their propaganda machine is already powerful enough that it can’t truely get get much of a boost. Arresting Ben for his crimes would be far more good than the negatives that come from people being upset about it. Pick the low hanging fruit while the picking is good I say.

I 100% agree that the changes our former allies are making to be more independent from the US are good for them and probably the world as a whole. I do think the the parallel weakening of the US as a world power is what Putin wants for Trump and his ilk to do. My hope is that the economy is hit so hard and people suffer so much that it spurs change before we’re past the point of relatively short term recovery (5-10 years, not 20+).

We just need a handful of Republican reps to decide that they don’t actually want to give up all of their power to a dictator and his gang, or that maybe they don’t want to be associated with the Nazi party. Just a few change their mind, impeach, and remove. Maybe the first time a member of Congress eats a bullet outside of their residence because someone reached the end of their rope, others will act out of fear. I’ve got my fingers crossed for who I hope it is.
