  • Yeah, trying to use Abrahamic mythology to guilt trip someone for eating meat would backfire so intensely. According to them, God put these animals here specifically for our sake.

  • How does trump get oil and minerals? He doesn’t, because Venezuela is still an independent country and is not occupied by the USA.

    The replacement is little more than a US puppet. She will be indebted to Trump for as long as he remains in office, be it three more years, or for the rest of his life.

    They will be electing a new president/government.

    That has technically already happened. Maduro just refused to transfer power.

    As far at the PR goes, Trump doesn't need PR anymore. His idiot base are unshakable. If he can get convicted of multiple felonies and still get elected, and then the Epstein files drop and implicate him and he still doesn't get brought up on impeachment charges, then there's no social ramifications for him any longer. Congress and the courts will protect him from run-of-the-mill abuses of power and scandals that would otherwise be devastating to a normal political figure. About the only thing he's in danger of is letting people starve, which will cause mass riots. As long as he can avoid total economic collapse, he'll be fine.

  • That advice was likely a holdover from the time when wedding rings were essentially insurance for the wife if her husband died suddenly - sell the ring and be able to live for a while on that money while you search for a new husband.

    Now that women are, y'know, allowed to work for a living rather than being forced into homemakers, it makes a lot less sense for the wedding band to be outside of one's means to purchase.

    I just tell people to buy what looks nice to them and is in budget. My wife has a gold band with some inscribed decorations, and I have a band of silver and inlayed meteorite. They were both under $1000. No need for flawless diamonds, rare stones or precious metals. We're happy.

  • lol I also had someone accuse me of pasting AI output into my emails.

    People are now going to have to dumb down their writing not because it's too difficult to understand, but because it might be confused with GenAI slop.

  • I don't give a fuck. I won't watch your ads. I would sooner donate directly to content creators that I like (and I have!). I would rather see them beg their audience for money than take a corporate handout.

    Now mobile games can't serve you ads, and wont interrupt your play. This breaks reward-based ad watching incentives, though, so you might have to occasionally disable it.

    Stick it to the man.😤✊️

  • Even better still, the IJN had plans drawn up for a Super-Yamato class, but the war ended before it could be built.

    It's ironic that the Japanese had successfully proved the effectiveness of aircraft carriers in the opening of the war with the surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor, but failed to carry that through to the end and instead hid behind the old way of having the thickest armor and largest guns.

  • The very first thought that popped into my head when I heard about this was that Trump is so stupid he doesn't even realize that we haven't actively used battleships in our naval doctrine since the end of World War 2. Aircraft carriers will always be more versatile, have longer range, and cast a larger sphere of influence than a battleship of any size ever will.

    So this is little more than a glorified pet project to stroke Trump's fragile ego, set to the tune of multiple billions of dollars in R&D and private contracts to his wealthy friends, for a project that will unlikely be done before he leaves office or leaves this mortal coil, whichever comes first.

    I expect that if we end this madness and get a Democrat in office, if they have any good sense at all, they'll cancel the project. However, the damage will be done between now and the next three years. Taxpayer money will be shoveled into this pit and evaporate into the ether.

  • Miracle on 34th St. is about a max level Bard impersonating the local patron saint so well that he successfully bluffs the local magistrate into declaring that he is the actual reincarnation of the saint.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Should I go back to my old job?
