Yeah, no, I don’t care what your flavor of crankdom is, not biting.

Look, I don’t know what exact word game you’re trying to play here, or why you’re spamming this exact comment evey time someone uses the word “neoliberal”, and to be perfectly honest I don’t care. But if you’re gonna pick a concept to be in denial of, I’d pick one without a wikipedia page.

I trust Dr. Pangloss of the neoliberal order to present his argument in a factual way that does not mention his links with Epstein.

Considering the make-work program that is the US editorial section important conversation is how the Overton window got as narrow as it is.

Yeah, this is the correct take, I feel.

The Pearl Harbour part is a message made to be understandable for Americans. That’s why it’s in English. If they were giving it to Putin, the reaction would be the same, except the banner would be in Russian, and be about something else. And yes, the braindead “Russian sphere of influence” take every idiot has on here about a country they know less than nothing about earns you a downvote fair and square.

The problem is neither him, nor America. The problem is the building is protected architecture, doubly so for it’s history, and has been illegally offered to Kushner as a gift, to try and get the deeply unpopular government into the good graces of the Trump regime. It’s a story of a traitor selling off the country piecemeal to foreign powers so he could cling on to power.

Not everything in the world revolves around the latest US boogeyman.

Yup. The major problem with cyclists and various flavors of scooter, both regular and especially electric, is that they seem to think of themselves as pedestrians, when they’re in fact vehicles (incidentally, a major problem for cyclists is being considered pedestrians by car drivers).

It’s plainly visible when you’re standing at a red light and see a bike split lanes, get on the zebra, veer right, get onto the perpendicular zebra, make the crossing like a pedestrian, and get back onto the road and drive off. Or, for an example I’ve seen in Amsterdam, a woman with a baby in the back, going 20kmh, just plow straight into 20 people with no braking and expect them to part for her like she were pushing her way through a crowd with a stroller. From my experience, cyclists in pedestrian zones treat foot traffic as bad if not worse than drivers treat bike traffic.

It’s not either-or, though. For instance, defending Belgium is not just a matter of keeping your word - It’s also a convenient excuse for getting involved in the mainland, which you wanna do to stop Germany from dominating it and outbuilding your fleet.

Exactly, “The amount of people who would probably agree with the manifesto on Lemmy is probably higher than people expect.”

It’s just not the Tankies.

Topic aside, the page break is comedy gold.

I kinda wonder if it was a “Tell her to keep her arm raised until tomorrow, it’ll teach her to be more careful next time.” situation.

The joke is thinking it took Russia and China to take advantage of it.

…Why is the first sign different? The first two would be “e-lon”, right?

Yeah. Like, you read history and think “no, the medieval chronicler was trying to make a didactical point, it didn’t actually-” but no, it kinda just happens sometimes…

Older Benz’s had the same dial, it was equally fantastic.

The annoying part is Dassault had linux cad software and they killed it.

And that’s the fundamental problem of the SSN. It’s a system designed not to be an ID, for a country that refuses to have an ID, that is being used as an ID despite it’s design, because it’s simply not viable to not have some form of an ID in a modern society.

…And they’re all moving up, sadly.
