“Hey Western hemisphere, you better let us protect you from Russia, or else.”

“Hey Eastern hemisphere, you better let us protect you from U.S.A, or else.”

I wholeheartedly agree with this. But what about nontraditional marketing? Should be some ways to market to the desired audience?

I think the Internet still has lots of promise. We just did a capitalism on it. If we can get the cancer out it’ll be an amazing thing again.

But I do think some of that early promise was overestimated because mostly smart people were on it then. We thought it was the medium, but it was just techies or people with hobbies or interest that made it that special place, now that your average Joe is there it’s mostly shit, but go somewhere with a little barrier to entry (like Lemmy) and it is pretty cool again.

So we are going to be fighting the CIA or what?

If joke haha If not joke he meant not far in future

I don’t think they believe it. It’s just an alternative fact to argue. They don’t give a shit about the people of Venezuela.

I dunno. If I think about how many of my friends were sports betting 15 years ago vs today it’s at least 10x today. I feel like that was caused by market availability not a change in demand. They would’ve always bet if it was this easy to do and if it becomes hard again they’ll stop.

More legalized. Lobbying was already legalized bribery. Citizens United was just them making sure they get to pick who they bribe.

It’s supposed to 75° here on Christmas. I wonder if that trend has anything to do with it?

100% of all lesbians accused of space crime have been exonerated.

Penetration itself can be viewed as an act of violence and the government should probably put everyone who has thought about it on a surveillance list.

Yeah Nissan has been shit for 20 years, not surprising that it’s catching up to them.

He also said he’d have people on mars by 2024…

It kind of sounds like a form of exposure therapy.

I was not able to read this, as I am an idiot, but I upvoted just for the effort.

Can’t have people seeing what’s behind the mask.

Howard Zinn’s People’s History starts by describing the early years after the colonizers appearance. It’s a tough read.

It’s not just China. The USA is working on it too.

Especially one that is currently collaborating to help carry out a genocide.

It’s not weird. I would affirm yourself that they did not do everything right, and the things you’re angry about you have good reason to be. But let the anger and hate fade. They were probably trying their best. And the older you get the more you realize that we are all winging it. Now that you are an adult you can set healthy boundaries and interact with them on your own terms.

There’s some stockholm syndrome between children and parents and I think it’s natural to get angry as you move past that. But as an adult you can have a relationship with them where you see them more as flawed peers than omnipotent parents. Of course not everyone will want to have that relationship, but if you can and want to then I think it’s worth it.
