World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine wants 20-year US security guarantee to sign peace dealEnglish
101·1 day agoit was a guarantee to:
respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t) bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.
“here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.

40·1 day agoAs an American in my 30s…
Just don’t trust anything the US says, period.
Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.
Anker?
I noticed their soundcore app did that last time I connected to wifi and it auto-updated… Inimmediately went looking for an old apk.

And it gets everywhere.
Just like the shitty US fascist police…
Nothing I’ve fried has been made worse by the deep fryer
Well, other than your health.
Although you aren’t really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.

Talking shit about financially struggling families during one of the worst wealth disparities in history is way trashier than a person’s roommate having a child.

World News@lemmy.world•Man who shot a British woman in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump' won’t face criminal charges. A grand jury declined to indict him.English
8·2 days agoFor the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.
The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.
We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

101·5 days agoAmerican here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.
I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

8·8 days agoLPT: don’t buy shit from the US. Especially not with any sort of contracts. Especially especially not if we’ve been threatening your country in any way. We clearly can’t be trusted not to have dangerous mood swings every 4-8 years.
And certainly don’t buy something with any sort of link back to its country of origin.

22·15 days agoThe sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.
A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.
They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.
Literally, yes.
My supervisor at work has 2 broken teeth and one is cracking, he can’t have food on his right side of his mouth and about once a month has go eat soft foods because the cracked tooth on his left side hurts again.
Another coworker has a knife wound because he managed to slice his arm open with his own folding knife (not suicidal just stupid), and he’s just self-treating even though it looks infected.
I have had bronchitis multiple times in my life when I didn’t have any insurance and even when I was so weak it took all my strength to crawl to the bathroom, going without eating for several days because I can’t make it downstairs to the kitchen, because just the urgent care visit would have sent me into years of debt.
My sister ignored signs of cancer until her daughter asked her to go to the doctor. It could have been operated on if she had gone earlier. Now it’s chemo and fingers crossed.
This shithole country kicks people when they’re down andat least 1/3 of the population is polishing the boot as the rich are kicking us.



For my regular headphones, not much. I can use the buttons on them to cycle through sound modes (no modification, sound canceling, and external mics) as well as the normal things like switch volumes, tracks etc.
Once I got the update, I deleted the app and got an older one. If they make it mandatory somehow, I’ll just not use the app and get different brand headphones when these break.
