Ah, fair fair. I can relate.

I’d like to see those silly cunts motherfucking try.

In this situation medically assisted dying should be absolutely illegal, wtf.

I’d also like to say that I don’t appreciate how BrikoX constantly posts the same articles to multiple magazines/communities at a time. It makes everything redundant. This isn’t Reddit and you don’t need to be a power user. Pick the best community and leave it at that.

Well, I kinda disagree on this, tbh.
If it weren’t for him posting here, I wouldn’t come across these articles.
What’s wrong with someone posting the same article to different communities? It’s not like these communities have the same users.
I really don’t see the harm, tbh.

Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it’s from a week ago

its the default setting of every new instance to require approval, on my instance i dont require email verification so i thought i could at least have people write something to let me know they’re human. in the end no one uses my instance so I just opened it up, maybe after some registrations ill make it an application again.

Boy oh boy, @gaylord you’re in for a fun time there, bud
48k users right now btw, he’s getting a lot of bots

bruh that k6qw lemmy instance 45.9k users right now but ZERO posts. wtf.
these bots are gonna be a problem
And my conspiratorial side makes me think that they’re not here by accident

I get the hype for what he said, but realistically

He’s on point with foreign policy for now. Humiliating world leaders is never not good.

No, it’s not a good thing in the long term. Diplomacy is a must, shouldn’t push others away, especially China.

Didn’t bother to look how he called Xi a dictator before, Biden was even more based than I thought lmao

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said. “That was the great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn’t know what happened.”

What Does it Signify?

Biden trying to draw in India, what bloody else?

Welp, here comes the Chinese outrage. He’s correct ofc, but he shouldn’t say it, it’ll just push China further away - or it’ll give them an excuse to push further away.
Will be interesting to see how the CCP responds.

Kbin just sounds cooler, dude.
I mean, lemmy - that’s just lame with extra steps. Eww. Yuck. Yucky. Not cool. Actual cringe, tbh. 🤢
Kbin. That’s like cool-beans, dude. Actually rad. And based. 😎
Who doesn’t want to be cool? I tell you, nerds, that’s who. Do you want to be a nerd? Didn’t think so.
Checkmate. Try proving me wrong (pro-tip: you can’t)

My brain has been completely fried by the American racialization of people because my first reaction to reading that title was “well, calling them a racial slur is not very nice”

Li told journalists China wants closer economic cooperation with Germany but avoided any mention of Russia or Ukraine.

Europe must start to ween itself off from China, now its the time. We shouldn’t repeat the same bs we did with Russia.
There are other better trade partners out there.

In an apparent reaction to those plans, Li warned that “deglobalization flares up again.”
He said, “We should maintain the tradition of mutually beneficial cooperation and uphold the multilateral trading system and industry and supply chain stability.”

No, we shouldn’t Mr. Li.

Ahhh, on the topic of Roscosmos.

Dmitry Rogozin - Director General of Roscosmos from 2018 to 2022, deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry from 2011 to 2018, and Russia’s ambassador to NATO from 2008 to 2011, was (and is) a nazi.
The party he formed, Rodina, was campaigning to ban jewish minorities and jewish organizations.

Here’s Rogozin with a banner behind him that reads “Jewish fascism - there’s nothing scarier today”
Also here was one of his party’s ads Let’s clean Moscow of “garbage”
Rogozin also participated at a myriad of neo-nazi meetings and protests(money shot in the last few seconds of the video, translation not necessary)

These are the kind of people that are appointed in positions of power. Can we imagine even for a split second the sheer scandal that would ensue if NASA’s director had that kind of history?

Don’t let the Italians know that our version of their dishes is better, they’ll start throwing hands in 2 seconds flat.

As a Romanian I want to tell everyone “you’re welcome, world”.

What. The. Fuck.

Didn’t they say that they wouldn’t never do something like this when they were talking about “muh brexit benefits” and that it was all “project fear”, or am I misremembering?

This whole scenario is insane.

It shouldn’t be. Folks need to keep in mind that these kind of corporatist scum will quite literally kill however many people they need as long as they’d get away with it, all in the name of profit.
The reason they don’t do that is because they’re afraid of getting caught.

if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor

Spot on.
