They tried to have his name scrubbed, that’s why it took months to get the announcement that there’s nothing in it. Presumably, he was so integral to the entire operation that scrubbing any mention of Trump would effectively scrub the entire document—this is the result

I suppose you also believe that RT isn’t Russian state propaganda either, for the same reasons.

“But that’s not the same!” ok

The source is American propaganda https://about.rferl.org/faq/isnt-rfe-rl-funded-by-the-cia/

Sure, it’s not “literally” funded by the CIA, but it is “literally” funded by the US federal government

that’s because /femaledatingstrategy’s literal first rule is that it’s for women only, they tell you they’ll ban men straight up lol

TIL apartment buildings are military targets

Why would the local police swat themselves?

That kind of attitude is so common here, unfortunately. “Nerd” and tech cultures are rampantly misogynistic, but they all seem in denial about it, including on lemmy

I don’t think we have to consider men’s opinions on every meme we create, they certainly don’t consider women’s opinions when they post misogynistic memes

Having said that, this meme is very, very light ribbing, I think even a lot of men will agree that Pedro is especially attractive to women

This is the only funny linux meme ever posted here

No because I’m native american and was confronted with the reality of genocide and ethnic cleansing everyday

White children can handle it too

If deplatforming and political action by the ruling class are the main methods to stop this crisis, then none of us had any power to do anything in the first place

It’s no wonder no one takes this seriously: the epidemic of disaffected young men is only a symptom of greater societal issues and can’t effectively be addressed on its own. That’s also what I was getting at with my comment

Stop what? Stop it how? Suddenly make every parent in the US loving, compassionate, and effective at raising their children? Or maybe we could just fix the economy? One of those is bound to work, easy!

Just put on the fucking deodorant

I’m sure Google literally doesn’t care, as long as a more effective compression algorithm is used. That’s why they made it an open standard, use whatever you want but don’t demonize .webp unnecessarily

They made it because better image compression means less storage is required for images. Even if it’s a small upgrade, over trillions of images or exabytes of data saved translates into millions of dollars saved. This is the same thing for the delta format as another example

By making .webp an open standard, more people will use it, thus more space savings will be had by default

Can we just rename this instance from politicalmemes to tankierants

Have advancements in precision bombing technology ever led to an overall reduction in collateral damage to civilians? Is that even an argument defense contractors make, or are you just making it up?

Or has every study shown the exact opposite, that “precision” bombs actually cause more civilian deaths?

those bombs will kill far more than just a hundred people, far more than he can ever conceptualize. the consequences of those deaths will shape the world more than the extra microsecond an engineer could shave off of an internal Amazon function

The number of people defending Lockheed Martin here is staggering, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given the apparent makeup of Lemmy’s population

I’ll make this very, very simple: working for a well-known defense contractor who brags about making bombs is bad. Working for Lockheed Martin is unethical.

Working for a large corporation (Microsoft) that funds or supports wars (Israel) is also bad, but not as bad as Lockheed Martin, the company that actually builds the bombs that are bought with the dollars that Microsoft sends to Israel

Working for any company that could theoretically contribute economically to a war is bad, but not as bad as the previous two examples and is more or less unavoidable for working people

Paying any kind of tax (especially in the US) ultimately funds wars, and so isn’t good either, but it’s not as bad as any of the three above options, and no one can avoid it (except billionaires of course)
