That would require bravery from a lot of people. Few have been as brave as Navalni. Let’s hope his death shakes people’s apathy.

Don’t play dumb, that’s not what I said. Russia and Iran had a hand in the October attacks by the Palestinians which started this war however.

You think the Houthi attacks are anything other than a tactic to distract the west from Ukraine? Read between the lines.

A couple of targeted strikes on houthi terrorists is genocide to you? How about stop being disingenuous.

Trying to disarm an aggressor is not the same as attacking commercial ships.

Of course. Why else would a billionaire want the job of leading a country?

Calling him smooth brained is looking past the fact that it’s just plain corruption. He has interests in the oil industry, and they are against public rail. Hold him to account for what he is, a criminal.

I thought you said you are going to be dead in a few weeks. Then I reread it, and still pretty much think the same.

Well the guy acts surprised, like nobody has seen this coming for 50+ years and especially the last 20 years. Put some thought into having children before you do. If more people did, we wouldn’t be as deep in the shit as we are today. And people are allowed to criticise other poeple for having kids when they shouldn’t.

Every time, choice.

Why did you choose to have kids knowing what kind of future they would have? This is the reason I didn’t, and also to reduce my footprint in the world. I mean even 20 years ago, it was obvious nothing was going to change. So I don’t know why somebody would willingly have children these days.

Why are the memes on Lemmy so bad? Am I just past it?

And who do you suppose is paying them? Putin?

Doubtful. They are mercenaries and won’t be getting paid anymore. Mercenaries have no allegiance to anybody.

I have a theory. Almost every hot country I’ve been to has bidets. So you have to ask yourself why? Well I’ll tell you. After I moved to a hot country (Spain) I realised that if you don’t use a bidet and go about your day, the shit in your ass will begin to liquify and you will get very itchy. This is not good. This also doesn’t happen in countries with a more temperate climate. That’s the reason, I think.

Look at Rupert Murdoch. He unquestionably holds more power than Musk and has been at it for a long time. Democracy is an illusion, since people are very easily influenced by the media they consume.

I just bought one this past weekend to replace my Apple TV, since I ditched the iPhone years ago and I’m pretty much out of the Apple ecosystem. I tried the Chromecast with Google TV too but it was too slow, even though the Google TV UI was nicer.

Doesn’t matter, they are powerless.
