Takes 4+ years to prosecute a popular, rich traitor. Takes one day to screw over poor people. Gotta love justice.

At least Trump got convicted in NY, I guess…

I don’t remember anyone saying 10 was worse than 8. Maybe buggier on launch, but stylistically it worked more like 7 than 8 did

Their name is Erika Ishii! They’re a great comedian too, they’ve made a lot of appearances on Dropout

They’re the type of people who click on Facebook ads

I dunno. Plenty of pro-Russian posters on Lemmy, and in this very thread. It is funny to see people arguing that Ukrainian sources should be removed since they can’t give an unbiased picture of Russian casualties, though–I’m sure Russian sources are totally unbiased, lol!

Social media is one of the central ways news organizations get information and has been for over a decade. I mean, that’s one of the central reasons Musk’s Twitter fuckups have been such a big deal! Removing a post for that is really stupid

it’s because people are misunderstanding your joke as saying “they should try not being colonialists” (pretty hard to read it as anything else tbh), and you’re misunderstanding the backlash as people shitting on dwb when it’s literally the opposite

You don’t even have to read the article. OP put it right there in the post.

the medical aid group had been removed from a register of foreign nongovernmental organizations.

Russia was getting ready to outlaw them. It would have been a danger for them to keep personnel in the country, leaving them exposed to being kidnapped and used as currency for prisoner exchanges.

There’s a chance you’re joking but I know for a fact there are people here who will take this seriously.

It’s pretty weak. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/absolutely-not-go-fuck-yourself-look-mommy-its-shrek

Changing amendments is no problem when you have judges to “reinterpret” them at will

Not knowing anything about French law, I’m assuming if he’s regarded as mentally ill he may receive a more lenient sentence. Purely on those grounds, I hope he’s regarded as being of sound mind so he’s put away for as long as possible

It is a dirty joke, one that implies everyone takes turns in the test chamber, aka the barrel.

Black Mesa was an insane confluence of theoretical and practical physics. I mean they’re inventing fucking interdimensional travel and handheld laser weapons. Also there’s a security guard that jokes to Gordon “looks like you’re in the barrel today” which implies everyone on the team takes turns in the suit. That was just Gordon’s day; he probably does spend most days in an office somewhere doing math

Most dogs actually enjoy training. It’s another game! One where they get treats for doing the right thing! My dog actually gets antsy if I don’t have him do any trick routines for a few days.

Edit to say you do you and if your dog and you are happy that’s all that really matters

I’m no expert. But probably there just isn’t enough evidence yet to accuse China as a whole of systematically doping its athletes. I’d imagine they err on the side of “allowing participation” with this kind of stuff.

I’m pretty sure Russia only got banned because they had a state-sponsored doping system. Long as you don’t get caught with that, you can be as authoritarian as you want.

I think Republicans are also generally disengaged. That’s what enables them to vote for so much monstrous garbage; they don’t pay enough attention to know what they’re voting for. There are also plenty of true believers who really are christian nationalists, but for most people, if they follow the policy positions, they’d be Democrats.

So when it comes to the number of people watching a convention, the DNC sorta naturally attracts more people since the base is paying more attention.

What difference does an airtight case make when you have a litany of judges, all the way up to the supreme court, that will happily twist the law to rule in your favor?

Thems some long green peppers

Well obviously all you lightweights were just stunted by vaccines, REAL babies come out of the womb with all their teeth and a craving for beef jerky
