The Brits are still salty over those teas thrown over at Boston Harbour.
Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.
Yup. Hillary is too corrupt. Had Biden ran instead, he would have won back then when he wasn’t senile.
Doesn’t matter if you have zero charisma and really bad PR. Obama and FDR were popular because they have both.
The Supreme Court must be impartial regardless of legislative and executive political mudslinging of the time. That’s the whole point of different branches of government.
If SCOTUS made the decision after seeing Trump and Biden debate, or knowing Republicans will control both houses, then they aren’t doing their job as they should. There’s a reason why juries are encouraged not to watch TV or media that would cloud their decision, and the same should apply to judges.
People forget the bloody whole point of checks and balance!
I had a coworker who seems to look up to him. He got offended when I told him I don’t trust Musk; and took it to mean I don’t like Musk. I clarified that when I said I don’t trust him, I meant that I am skeptical and don’t care much about him. Mind you, this was before the Twitter takeover and Musk finally showing his true colours, and his only bizarre scandal about him at that point was calling professional divers who rescued trapped Thai kids and refused Elon’s offer of help, “pedos”.
I left my old company and I wonder what my former coworker thinks of Elon now. My coworker seems to be well-intentioned but I sense deep insecurity from him-- the kind of types who typically idolise Musk.
On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I’m a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn’t take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.
We getting old, fam!
Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.
No offense, but it’s cos of Americans.
Speaking as a person of Asian descent, no one really cares about the Jews in that part of the world as much as the West does. Imperial Japan saw Jews-- who are mostly Germans–as, well, Germans. There are too few Jews in the Far East to make an impression on East Asians. Anti-Semitism is more like West/Middle East thing. That being said, I feel like anti-Semitism is a hate fad that has gone on for far too long. I get that it started when Jesus wasn’t recognised as the messiah and Christians hated that, but it was a long time ago. And there are other minority groups who had been persecuted in the past, but now less so compared to the intensity that anti-Semitism has.
I’m not saying that other persecuted groups have had it better-- anyone persecuted is still persecuted-- but there seems to be a far lingering hate fad on Jews. The Irish and Italians in America were discriminated but now not so much. The Jews happen to be very affluent and intelligent, and therefore accused of “secretly running the world”, but Asians are also stereotyped as nerds, tend to take STEM jobs which afford them more flexible social mobility, but no one accuses the latter of also secretly running the world.

Books discussing about the horrors of the Holocaust is “adult”, I guess.
Lmao
This is just too good (or too bad depending on who you ask) to be true. I know they are conservative grifters, but I would believe the claim about Boebert and I doubt the rest.
You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.
Lemmy has the least shills and bots
Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.
A free trip for defection for North Koreans!
Me who still irons clothes
looks sideways
Whenever someone tries to proselytise you, just tell them why would a benevolent god test you by killing your family member who hasn’t done anything wrong? A friend of mine, whose father passed away from cancer when my friend was nine years old, said this to a Mormon missionary. And the missionary was stumped to this questioning.
Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.
There have been couple of non-Western countries with politicians who are not part of local majority group. There is a white Australian who is like a governor or mayor in Papua New Guinea. Peru infamously had a dictator of Japanese-ancestry. So you get these kinds of things. If a white person wants to become an MP in India, go for it.
