The middle class is a myth so newspapers can pander to you by letting you pretend you’re better than the working poor. Half of food stamps are in the “middle” class these days.

Not sure where I said anything about how people vote. Must be tough to keep track of who you call tankie when your definition for tankie is anyone you don’t agree with though, so I get it, honest mistake I suppose.
db0 is an anarchist instance, do you even know what actual tankies do to anarchists or are you just repeating a buzzword you know nothing about?
Average lemmy world user. Yall call people tankies the same way maga calls people socialists.
I’m also running under the asumption someones paying for it to be there. Makes no sense otherwise. Literally the start of enshitification. Id urge people to drop instnces that host it as their homes and find a reasonable home instance.
In capitalist America, TV watches you!
Honestly I wish you were able to. Some of these people have no excuse to be as ill proficient as they are, and maybe that would change if you could just tell them they ‘read mother fucker’ and let nature take it’s course.
Whatever we did during the campaign to get kids to stop smoking cigarettes managed to work wonders. Even counting vape, the nicotine users numbers are way down. There are other countries with legal weed who still have more tobacco smokers than us too so I think its more than just the availability of weed, although that clearly helped a lot.
I just view HR as a less educated lawyer who represenrs the company and that’s served me plenty well.
I feel you. I have that autism where I tend to jump in convos to correct facts and people take it as the biggest insult and assume it means I think exactly the opposite of everything they say. I’ve found it’s easier for me to just lean into it since it’s going to happen regardless, I may as well be the one dictating the terms.
So you’re saying the bark is worse if you bite?
Just as a familiar refrain? It strikes me as basically half our GDP.

Largest in history, awarded world record. Sorry your memory is off but it wasn’t Vietnam.

36 million protested
In the United States, even though pro-war demonstrators have been quoted as referring to anti-war protests as a “vocal minority”,[4] Gallup Polls updated September 14, 2007, state, "Since the summer of 2005, opponents of the war have tended to outnumber supporters.
Exactly what I told you, the Bush wars solidified ths anit war electorate as the actual majority. Can you look at the facts now? They stopped voting on war once the antiwar electorate was big enough to stop them.
Heres a source for the largest demonstration in history. It even won a world record for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February_2003_anti-war_protests
Vietnam was stopped because the US was getting it’s ass kicked and found themselves unable to unravel the ho chi minh trail. The protests against Bushes war in the middle east were the largest protests in the world at the time they happened and we stayed for another two decades because we were still making money. So if public backlash worked, we would have been out of Afghanistan by 2004. But it doesn’t. Profit works.
See how the largest antiwar protest in US history lines up with Wars being started without congressional approval now? Modern antiwar sentiment started during vietnam, they weren’t a majority until much later.
They’re going to have to stop calling us Iranian Operatives because those guys are trying to assassinate Trump and people may start wearing that one like a badge of honor. Id rather be thought of as an Iranian Operative than a Republican Senator for example.
Russia used the private actors in Donbas as their pretense for invasion too.
I know three people who can live alone. My friend the computer scientist, my friend who lives on a property her engineer dad bought, and my friend who live in a three room apartment. Bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, top floor of an older Colonial house. Looks like a converted attic.
