I thought california had a pretty big budget surplus usually?

I just want them to make a true flagship phone. I personally wouldn’t mind paying extra for a more ethical phone, if it had all the bells and whistles and wasn’t half obsolete straight out of the box.

Lol. Lmao, even

After Russia brutally suppressed their independence, then sent 10 million of them off to die to protect Russians. Which you keep wilfully ignoring.

Ukrainians didn’t want to be under Russian rule. It’s wild the mental gymnastics you’re doing to excuse Russia allying with Hitler himself to steal foreign land. So I’ll say again, the fact those regions were mistreated under Poland does mean it’s okay to invade them and colonise them.

Like you can find examples of time were colonial countries “”“liberated”“” foreign nations in much the same way, putting them under a different boot and treating them marginally better than the last guy. But if a colonial apologist gave you that argument you would (rightly) not accept it, would you?

I took one look at you describing the “liberating” of Poland by the soviets because some of it belongs to different modern day countries and new you weren’t arguing in good faith. Invading another country and stealing their land doesn’t magically become “”“liberation”“” just because it was stolen by someone else first.

You can use this same logic to excuse the nazi invasion of certain countries as well.

… only after they were betrayed by Hitler after they allied themselves with the Nazis to invade Poland.

And then raped and killed civilians in the countries they “liberated” by forcing millions of people from their Eastern European vasal states to die to protect the Russians.

Then replaced Nazism with a slightly different authoritarian system that opresses it’s people and performs ethnic cleansings, but has a red and gold cost of paint.

And then also exploited the global south, but just weren’t as good at it as the west, and filtered even more of what was exploited up the chain to the party leaders.

And tried to make up for that lack in ability to exploit the global south by exploring Eastern Europe.

Communist we’re allied with the nazis at the start of the war and as someone who’s great grandmother fled Poland to the UK to avoid being rapes and murdered by the red army, I will never forgive them for that.

No, we just hate people that glaze ruthless dictators and genocidal maniacs whose whole ethos was contradictory to the very idea of communism just because they had a red flag.

Is Mr Owens British perchance?

Actually you did vote for that buddy.

Guy in 2258: hmmm what year shoukd I go to test my new mine machine for the first time?? Oh I know!

I genuinely can’t imagine how empty your life would have to be to sign up to lemmy and spend your tragically finite time on this earth “”“trolling”“” people.

Go to twitter, make some like minded freinds, maybe pickup a hobby or something dude.

The Trump admin just made their fatal mistake. They. Attacked. Gamers.

So if you have a beefy psu you should be able to power your monitor off tbe DP?

Or does carrying power limit data throughput?

Nah I vehemently disagree with this. The racist sexist bigots aren’t going to vote democrat no matter what. Kamala spent a lot of time trying to court the “”“moderate”" republicans and it didn’t work.

Obama won because he had a base and he got people excited. People still remember “Yes we can” and just the general hope and inspiration he brought.

And honestly to even suggest the radicalisation of the right was due to Obama is crazy.

I just want her to run for president. But after fielding 2 uninspiring establishment centre-right candidates with no grassroots base, that offer nothing exciting, the Democrats and even many voters think that women in general are unelectable.

Hmm. Why would a .ml user support voter ID laws I wonder?

Nah its like people critiquing the trump admin and their biggest issue not being the concentration camps, or the imperialism, or betraying allies to support Russia, general fascist behaviour etc. They make a big fuss about him being rude in his tweets.

Like criticising that doesn’t negate the other stuff, but bring attention to the smaller mostly inconsequential stuff only serves to distract from the bigger problems.

Will you guys shut up about this?

There are genuinely some big issues with AI that need to be addressed but they are drowned out by morons melting down over people making dumb little Ghibli style images for their own amusement.

Shout about insurance companies using AI to auto dent people’s medical claims, not about some dude Turnjng a picture of his cat into anime style

I will still support it to get the normies off of twitter.

Not even just his cars, he thinks the MILITARY, doesn’t need radar and can just use cameras to spot and track stealth fighters.

He’s a fucking lunatic.
