Because ~~American~~ Trump voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

FTFU.

I’m curious: the person you replied to didn’t say they were comparable, so why did you feel the need bring it up?

In my experience, people who point that out when no one has made the comparison are usually insecure about an issue that affects men getting attention and potentially eclipsing the issue affecting women. Like people who point out that female victims of domestic violence die more often from their assaults during discussions about male victims of domestic violence.

You sure you wanna be that person? Try harder not to be, please.

Yeah—personal preference. As in, not the preference of the fucking parents.

Thank goodness religion is fake bullshit.

Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies).

Sounds like the Prosperity Gospel to me.

They're not "trying" to do this, they're doing this because the tariffs increase the prices they have to pay to get their goods, so naturally they need to increase the price they sell said goods to consumers so that they can turn a profit and continue to exist as a business. This is not, was not, and never will be that hard to understand.

"I'm makin' money and I don't know the people around here, so fuck 'em!"

This is, sadly, the reasoning at the core of the problem in the heads of the people who know about the problem but choose not to do the right thing. They may rationalize away the cognitive dissonance of knowing they're likely harming others and not wanting to think of themselves as a bad person by making up various excuses, but the truth of the matter is that human beings make decisions more based on emotion than reason, and most people are going to feel stronger feelings about the things that affect them and theirs than things that affect complete strangers. Our psychology—like most other aspects of us—evolved to function in small, tight-knit communities. We are simply not adapted to live in societies as large as we've created.

It’s almost like ICE is just a bunch of White supremacists. 🤔

Too much trouble to check the article, huh?

 

I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I'm leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?

 

I’m sure MAGA approves of where its tax dollars are going.

 

And what is the evidence for it being a Chinese spying platform? Is it owned by a Chinese company? Is there any hard evidence? Why is it so controversial?

 

Please, tell me again why we need the president to have the power to pardon as a check on our judicial system….

 

I'm a big fan of this guy's work. His previous films include The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman.

 

If you skip the introduction and don't watch the Q&A afterwards, the presentation is just under an hour. A very good watch, IMO. Interested in what people think.

 

Four Republican backbencher candidates who failed to qualify for the first 2024 GOP presidential debate this week slammed the Republican National Committee over its rules, with multiple contenders calling them “rigged.”

 

Easily my favorite quote from Mallory Archer.

 

I just stumbled upon this video and it brought back a lot of childhood memories. The creator's channel features a bunch of other HD remakes of old games too.
