  • Asked whether the operation was about oil or regime change, Trump replied: “It’s about peace on Earth.”

    War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

    He speaks in such childish vague manner, it’s so annoying. How does one “run a country” without an actual presence in said country?

  • While I agree you always need to look at who is saying what and what their motivations are, China has been investing in Venezuela, just as they have in many other countries.

  • Drunkenly dumping emotions on family and friends isn’t great. Used to do that in my 20’s. Took some therapy and a great partner to work on my emotional intelligence

  • This just makes any opposition to China doing the same thing to Taiwanese leadership that much more flimsy and hypocritical. Semiconductor access is far more important than Venezuelan oil, and that’s setting aside the moral implications of this move. Really dumb.

  • World first perpetual motion machine

  • This wasn’t a matter of life and death as this was a wholly unnecessary move that violates Venezuela’s sovereignty. The only one pushing was the White House. Palmer sucks, don’t make excuses for him.

  • I mean, do you remember W Bush’s post war Iraq plans? The party hasn’t gotten any less myopic since then.

  • Really showing how much he values his “principles”. Remember kids, principles only matter when they’re convenient! Thats what makes them deeply held beliefs.

  • Its 2025 sales numbers are about 4 million, half that of 2024, and that’s with half the year with no successor console. Maybe it’ll beat it, but I don’t feel it’s a foregone conclusion

  • It matters only insofar as you cannot see content from any instance, only the ones your instance admins allow to federate with yours. If every instance federated with all the others we’d be flooded with CSAM and all other manner of horrific shit. If I’m not mistaken, Sopuli is pretty light on defederation.

    Aside from that, people tend to make assumptions about users based on what instance they are on. I think that’s usually a dumb way of going about things, but it happens regardless.

    Edit: oh and I specifically mentioned Piefed because the main Lemmy software devs are ML. Piefed is a (mostly) compatible alternative not made by authcoms.

  • I’m a little confounded by a couple of your points, mainly that Zionism as an ideology predates the Shoah and that antisemitism predates capitalism. Shit, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was written in a semi feudal autocratic monarchy.

  • Probably not, unless Nintendo releases a surprise last iteration of the console which I also don’t see as that may cannibalize Switch 2 sales. A Switch Micro would be cool though

  • It also occurred to me, you may want to consider moving over to Piefed if you’re not into tankie shenanigans.

  • J E L L Y B E A N S

  • Check your instances’ own world news pages and you’ll probably find your answer.

    Here’s an example

  • Nah I’m a Yank, I was just recycling an Austin Powers joke to fit the post
