Any response other than “I already have” or “I donate resources” paints you as an armchair hypocrite who doesn’t have the credentials to understand, let alone have an opinion about this conflict.

You my friend, are the one who is adorable.

World War is not the solution you think it is

Problem is that requires good faith from both sides. If only one side adheres to that then the other side uses it as ammunition and inputs their politically appointed judges anyway.

Case in point, Senator Mitch McConnell crying out in 2015 about Obama wanting to appoint someone at the end of his term, saying that he would be robbing the next president of that legacy and it would be a political appointment. And then Mitch McConnell said nothing as they appointed and Trump approved three blatantly political nominees.

Both sides have to agree that those positions be apolitical or one side just ends up getting screwed. And of course we are not going to see that because Republicans don’t have a shred of decency left and the whole party.

Dude, thanks for posting this.

There is at least an entire sub dedicated to hating on pit bulls. I think multiple subs. During its time a few years ago, one specific sub could make it to the top of r/all with 10,000+ upvotes.

Reddit really doesn’t like pit bulls.

It’s the only card he’s still holding that means anything to the western nations he’s in a proxy war with.

Nobody wants a nuclear war, which is why he’s betting on western nations erring on the side of caution when he does shit like this.

I mean, he did one better. He defined genocide in describing the explicit war crimes of Israel. I think it’s a little unreasonable to be angry that he didn’t use the term when he outright stated that Israel killed and injured 100,000, 70% of which are women and children, rendered a million people homeless and created famine conditions.

I’d be more upset if he just said “genocide” and didn’t clarify the rest like he did.

what happened on 1/6/21?

Not what t-dump wanted to happen. If that loser-in-chief couldn’t pull off 1,000 guys storming capital hill, what makes you think that he could pull off selling states with a combined population of about 44 million to our sworn enemy?

Even his best “allies” and his own vp left him out to dry after 1/6.

Fair enough

Unpopular opinion incoming:

I don’t think we should ignore AI diagnosis just because they are wrong sometimes. The whole point of AI diagnosis is to catch things physicians don’t. No AI diagnosis comes without a physician double checking anyway.

For that reason, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing that an AI got it wrong. Suspicion was still there and physicians double checked. To me, that means this tool is working as intended.

If the patient was insistent enough that something was wrong, they would have had them double check or would have gotten a second opinion anyway.

Flaming the AI for not being correct is missing the point of using it in the first place.

That’s true, but games exist already where people can host their own servers. Pc gaming is kind of like the sandbox of platforms. Other major consoles solved that problem by sunsetting their free services so that you can’t just go play an existing online game for free on their platform.

It would be a gargantuan task to sunset free online connectivity as it exists in pc gaming today.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s that simple. Console online services get away with making you pay because the system is locked and you don’t have a choice. Pc gamers can host their own servers, and if steam ever becomes so anti consumer as to charge for access to your library, competitors will rise and the market will balance.

Guarantee that the line of reasoning here is

We can stop the inevitable fact that people aren’t going to buy our shares by pushing them on the most chronically addicted users of our platform and disguising it as a premium exclusive offer

I mean, who else is susceptible enough to the sunken cost fallacy that they would pour actual money into reddit? The answer is the demographic that’s already put in a substantial amount of investment in the form of time spent on content creation.

To those people, they might very well bite because it means their useless, time consuming hobby finally might become a source of income.

It’s honestly an intelligent business move by reddit, even if it’s scummy as fuck and ultimately setting up their own best content creators to spectacularly fail and lose a ton of money when the shares tank.

Reddit still goes public. Reddit still pays their CEOs obscenely before they jump ship. Only the creators lose.

Is that good enough reason to excuse them?

I’m hoping we see some huge fines in the near future on them, as employees raise complaints and even sue them for their practices

Thays the best case scenario. I’m just hoping that our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS doesn’t decide to rule in favor of the companies on a party line vote.

That would effectively transition companies in the US to be above the law with regards to workers rights. Unions would stop being a thing when companies can legally just fire everyone who tries. Pay discrepancies would always fall in favor of the payer. Forget about time off or Healthcare.

A ruling like that might set us back a century on worker’s rights, and I’m genuinely afraid that our courts are capable of it.

Racist remarks

You mean like how putin criminalized being gay? It’s one thing to make remarks, it’s another thing to actually oppress a minority by claiming their existence is propaganda.

Nazi affiliation

So taking nazis from prison with the promise of a pardon if they fight on russias front line is… What?

You’re only saying that because you know what Putin is like in power

This is an incredible fallacy. I’m almost lost for words. First of all, any line of logic that relies on the premise “you’re just saying that because you don’t understand how much worse it could be” is just plain wrong. I could say with the exact same amount of confidence that you don’t understand how much better it could be.

But also, Putin is by far the most dangerous leader the world has seen since Hitler. He’s an actual fascist, who disappears people who pose any kind of threat to him. He’s single handedly swinging his entire country into a war they don’t want because he feels entitled to Ukrainian land.

I’d take my chances on literally anyone else who respected the vote. Putin does not. I’d take my chances on someone who would end the war. Putin will see a million of his own die before he even considers it.

Pushing the whole “Navalny was a nazi so he’s automatically worse” is really downplaying how incredibly evil putin actually is. I mean, he’s basically already a nazi in all but name.

Get out of here with your Russian apologetics.

but we can’t even agree with eachother in Lemmy comment threads let alone organize to do anything that matters

That’s the point. They run psyops to keep us mad at each other.

In the same way that Biden is preferable to Trump. Biden is far from perfect, has lukewarm political leanings, only advances soft-left policies to better his own election chances and keeps a cop as a vp.

But Trump is an actual war mongering lunatic wannabe fascist. Sometimes it’s about the lesser evil.

Yes, you could say there are plenty of people more worth supporting than these two old farts, but none of them are on the ballot are they?

It’s that situation with Russia. Putin is an actual, proven warmonger who kills his own countrymen to hold on to power. Someone who doesn’t do either of those things and respects the will of the people is a step up, regardless of their politics, because that person can be voted out.

Haven’t these people read 1984? They don’t just kill you. They torture you until you say what they want to hear, and they keep you under close watch until the public forgets where you are. Then they kill you.
