They very explicitly didn’t run over anyone with tanks. No one but Adrian Zenz has ever claimed that and you will not find a source that is not Adrian Zenz suggesting that they did.

Not really no. Last election they didn’t happen, the election before that they didn’t really happen as popular candidates for totally no reason whatsoever dropped out and endorsed Biden until he became the only one you were allowed to vote for, the election before that DNC super-delegates removed all choice in the primary, the election before that didn’t have a primary.

It’s been two decades since the democratic party has had a fair primary process. The median voter wasn’t allowed to vote last time anyone had any hope of a choice in who the democratic presidential candidate was.

Ignoring the wants and agency of the globe is not incompatible with ‘policing’ the globe, especially given the style of American ‘policing’ is killing random fishermen and triple tapping girls schools.

And who cares about a large chunk of your population that is apparently powerless and too pathetic to do anything to stop the war crimes the US has been committing every single day of every single year since its founding.

Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don’t get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.

Most people on here, outside of the far-right of lemmy.world, use liberal to mean… liberals. and neoliberals. Aka most democrat and republican politicians, and the current status quo of the western world; aka the single most destructive force in world history.

Are you going to memorize the carry, transport, and self-defense laws of every state on your route?

Are you going to be paying the attorney’s fees on behalf of your trucking company and your client and both of their insurance whom all will be sued by any survivors or their families when you shoot someone?

This will be controversial given the “that’s not true communism according to my 170 year old theory book” crowd that sometimes permeates western leftists like a disgusting plague; but Xi Jinping. He’s released 6 or so books, he has a literal Doctorate in Marxism, and has documented China’s success and failures in its strive towards communism, including very good answers for every single criticism western Do-Nothing marxists have towards China’s Dengist reforms and their incredible economic success.

Discord is awful of course, but I would try some of the more populated game development discords. If you mention it’s free and not monetized at all you’re likely to get a few dozen bites out of curiosity if nothing else. I know a few that got their first hundred players that way.

Entirely wrong community, but drop all liquid calories, eat like a poor person (rice and beans with the cheapest veggie you can find, limited to one or two small bowls a day) and do something along the lines of the one punch man workout to increase your deficit while ensuring your body prioritizes fat loss and not muscle loss.

Fun fact, diets don’t work, changing your lifestyle does. After a month of this, if you actually keep it up, you’ll be down close to 20lbs as long as you’re heavy enough to actually have 20 lbs to lose.

Sweating your balls off in the summer almost makes you wish for a New Vegas Remaster.

The guy that essentially added lasers to Japanese movies and somehow became a multi-billionaire is a fan of stealing other’s work with minimal effort and reusing it without permission?

I’m shocked. Shocked I say.

That’s nice but this the US we’re talking about. Their building materials aren’t stone…

Silicon valley, as one might surmise from its name, is in fact a valley, not on the coast. It averages 4 degrees C in the winter. They might as well have efficient heating, especially given most offices were designed before heat pumps really proliferated in the US.

They finally got him.

It’s saying the quiet part out loud. Marriage as a concept for ‘love’ or ‘relationships’ is an incredibly native, relatively brand new view. Especially in terms of Christian marriages. Marriages are for exactly one thing historically: economically linking families, which almost always has involved having children. The entire reason the bible supports marriage at all is because it had been a multi-thousand year old societal standard to join families and ensure the continuation of the family line in some way.

This attitude has of course been carried forward in conservative and regressive ideologies, since that’s the idea they want to get back to; they want to abolish non-financially productive marriages.

Teflon, or PTFE, is a type of PFAS, and is the most famous and most numerous contaminant in that family and the most likely contaminant to cause PFAS-related cancers in the developed world.

since we can’t really absorb molecules that long and it’s already literally everywhere.

I’m curious how you came to this conclusion. PFAS and PFOS stay in your body for an incredibly long time and can accumulate quickly. We have no easy way of processing them out, and yes we absorb them into our longer term cells like muscles and fat.

It’s an incredibly important health problem the world is facing, as every variant of PFAS and PFOS causes cancer. and there is no medical way to remove PFAS once its in your body. The absolute best you can do is lower (you can’t eliminate) your exposure over time and hope the build up isn’t enough to trigger cancer growth before you get cancer or die from another source of industrial pollution.

I get my inspiration from the freest country on Earth, fighters for Righteous Christian Democracy, the second most moral people in the history of the world, the sole arbiters of what is right and wrong in reality, and the defacto leaders of the free world who would never allow a villain to go unpunished.

The punishment for war crimes is money, land, and the full weight of the most expensive army in world history protecting you from your victims.

Defence scientists say the technology could threaten low Earth orbit satellite networks such as Starlink at an extremely low cost.

Low Cost? It’s 100 Gigawatts. And the inverse square law is still a thing. In fact it’s the thing, the reason most sci-fi weapons can’t exist until we get infinite exponential power sources.

This will be amazing at missile defense and anti-air, however, thoroughly eliminating any reasonably distanced threat.
