I’m giving up on Lemmy. Too many toxic users. Too many bad mods who fail to remove the toxicity. And toxicity seems to be part of the culture here, judging from how everyone acts like it’s normal. Also, why is everyone a programmer?

The rally 'round the flag effect isn’t dependent on people agreeing with what the president is doing.
You think they care about the average American?
Maybe Harris and Biden want to start a war so they can benefit from a spike in approval just before the election.
Oh. He wants to hunt to the sheep. He wants to create them, let them loose, and then hunt them.
I was imagining the sheep would be his hunting companion, like he’s a modern day Paul Bunyan with a giant sheep instead of an ox.
Russian men are being inseminated in the military?
“When Beijing says that, on the one hand, that it wants peace, it wants to see an end to the conflict, but on the other hand is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn’t add up,” Blinken said at a media briefing.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go call for a ceasefire in the Middle East while we continue to supply Israel with weapons.”
Just keep in mind, this is anonymous hearsay by someone on Blinken’s team.
And even if it’s true, they wouldn’t have leaked it to the media without some kind of agenda.
“Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???”
It’s a fair question.
Everyone cares so much about protecting this painting. Why don’t they care as much about protecting the planet? (And the painting isn’t even in any real danger. It’s behind glass.)
The vandalism is practically thought-provoking performance art in itself. It’s probably one of the best pieces in the gallery.
Good for them.
They’re getting media attention for their message. That isn’t easy to do.
Ghettoes were neighbourhood where Jews were forced to live in Nazi Europe, so I’d say that sounds worse.
I want to be buried with cheese too.
The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975. The UN recognized the PRC over the ROC in 1971.
It was only removed to kiss China’s ass
You are greatly overestimating how much influence mainland China had in 1971.
You’re misunderstanding the situation.
We’re not asking Kamala to get involved in a foreign war. We’re asking Kamala to end the US’s involvement in a foreign war.
I know it’s confusing, because Biden and Harris keep talking as if they’re doing all they can to stop the fighting. But the truth is, Biden and Harris are the ones providing the weapons.
but shouldn’t we be more worried about the terrorists on our home soil before fighting foreign lands
Probably, which is why Harris should stop giving weapons and billions of dollars of war funding to Israel.
And the worst part is: I STILL don’t know who the bad guy is. Israel? Palestine?
Again, I understand your confusion, because Biden and Harris keep talking about the need to protect Israel. But Israel is the one carrying out a genocide of innocent civilians (with US support).
uninhabited rocks in the middle of the sea
Well, part of the issue is that they technically aren’t uninhabited anymore.
The largest naturally occurring island in the area is occupied by the ROC. A grand total of four civilians live there (and 220 troops). It has an airport that occupies the entire length of the island.

Is four people enough to claim an island? Taiwan seems to think so, and they are a vital US ally.
Also Taiwan is claiming to be China and all that because the PRC wants to keep the status quo.
Taiwan actively asserts its ownership of the South China Sea.

China’s claim is the same as Italy claiming the whole Mediterranean as their own because at some point the Roman empire claimed it
The claims of both the PRC and the ROC are based on their continued and historical use of certain islands in the sea. Vietnam makes the same claim. The tribunal ruled that those islands are too small to count. (Vietnam accepted the ruling. The PRC and the ROC both rejected the ruling.)
The Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei base their claims to the sea on the concept of an Exclusive Economic Zone, which under international maritime law extends 200 nautical miles from their shores.
MBFC: Least Biased
Lol. Now I see why no one likes Media Bias Fact Check.
Just so we’re clear, bail is a temporary release from imprisonment while you’re awaiting trial. And the bail money is a deposit that you get back when you attend trial.
The purpose of lodging the bail money is to give you an incentive to attend trial, and the judge will consider your income when they decide the bail amount. A rich person might have to post more bail than a poorer person.
The last time I saw this question asked on reddit, the OP thought paying bail was an alternative to serving prison time if you’re found guilty of a crime.
