Oh really? Damn, then I’ve been misinformed. I’ll have to take another look.

I want to be hype for it so bad, but I can’t get behind buying a Bezosmobile. I really wish somebody else was behind it.

The amount of people here who seem to think the dog actually shot the gun is insane.

They just made up an “ancient” Roman version of pizza??

The kind that exclusively blows the most overtly authoritarian dick in the world

Yeah I’m a vegan and obviously it’s a significant problem for us, but plenty of people with a normal but shitty diet are also deficient. This isn’t unique to us.

That’s respectable and not the wrong way to handle it by any means, but after a certain age, and if you have a particularly intrusive career, it can be really hard to make new friends and have it get past loose acquaintances. I’m definitely experiencing that myself, but thankfully I’m still close to my old friends, just much farther away, geographically. (Also not OP btw.)

I don’t trust lifetime anything. That lasts as long as it’s profitable.

Ty ty. It was on my other account on a different instance, but one time somebody attacked me thinking that I was a tankie based solely on the “China book” reading lol. Pretty racist imo.

Lol you know, when I made my account I didn’t think of how likely it would be that people would think it’s “China book” and not “chin a book.” I really should have capitalized the letter at the start of each word. Oh well.

That sounds like CIA propaganda to me. /s

Oh sorry, this place is just so flooded with tankies that most of the time I see a post like that it’s because they’re about to start singing the PRC’s praises. It’s actually insane.

Cool so we agree that PRC and USA are both atrociously vile countries that shouldn’t be emulated? Right? Right??

Not the guy you responded to, but I don’t see why it should be illegal to form groups and clubs to gamble under the condition that there is no “house” taking a cut, or maybe (at most) that a flat fee is charged for membership to allow for overhead (i.e., rent, dealers, etc.).

Let’s be honest, a flat out prohibition on gambling just means that it’ll only be enforced against poor people shooting dice or making informal sports bets, while must rich people and organized crime get away with breaking the law as always.

Maybe they have a point. We should strip anyone who voted for Trump of citizenship, and therefore they should not be allowed to vote. We can be generous and give them a freeby if they only voted for him in 2016, but anyone who voted for him in 2020 or 2024, at the least, shouldn’t be citizens.

Same here, but it was really easy to just make a new account on a new instance. You never know when your instance will go down (like Lemmy NSFW or, more recently, piefed.social) so you might as well just make a new one and try not to get too attached to any particular iteration of your account. And besides, karma actually means nothing here!

Nobody’s in any danger!!!

Here’s a good on-point article from an anarchist that hasn’t lost her mind like these morons: https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretkilljoy/p/forget-the-conspiracies?r=t57p3
