The self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc never fails to amaze me. It’s just unreal.
And Antonio Turok’s photograph of the 1991 total eclipse of the sun in Chiapas, Mexico. This one because even when I know what an eclipse is and how does it happen, there’s a moment in my head when I think “What if it never ends? What if everything stays like this forever?” I see that instant of terror in this photo.
That’s not how technology is supposed to work.
I agree, but these local policies completely opposed to the federal government will bring an armed conflict. If the National Guard decides to back one governor instead of staying loyal to Trump, to name one circumstance, then that may spark a national conflict. This is not the most probable thing to happen, with Black Panthers in the streets already, but it’s a delicate state of things. We have a saying for this that applies to Trump and the USA: it’s like freeing a goat in a glassware shop.
The thing with the USA is they are permanently at war, and no war has changed the system. The people benefiting from it are thriving in their political system. What’s gonna happen when this two things can’t change the system? I’m afraid it’s gonna be a Civil conflict.
Yeah, I just skipped the lmao part and thought they were serious. My account is like 5yo or something, I absolutely get that all the time.
Jesus. It’s almost exactly as I imagined it.
Ah, forget it. Didn’t see the LMAO. Sorry.
So. No one will talk about the 48% of Americans that are okay with abducting the President in charge of a sovereign country so rich Americans could snatch them away their oil?
Yes, foreigners, if you go to the USA, apparently that’s a hot topic.
It was weird, because the comment ended up doing the same. I thought it was sincere and thought “ah, here we go again”.
Noticed the same. It’s not even a hard thing to understand.
About the taboo reasons or reason to mention lemmy.ml in this post.
Steve Jobs vibes.
IDK, maybe because they got like 800 million people out of poverty in ~40 years? Meanwhile, the USA just accepted 50 years ago that 10-15% of their population will be poor regardless of being the richest country by GDP in the world since before then.
Maybe.
Hello. Care to discuss about your comment?
“Great jeans, great genes”.
={ Bob tailed Bob, RIP.
In Mexico, who adds a bunch of Spanish speakers, it would be Hernandez before those two. Lopez would also be up there.
It’s both. But your point remains, they will always be Canadians, not Americans. It’s curious to me, as a Mexican, that they called themselves Americans. We think of them, some of us at least, as Europeans who took American land for themselves and then usurped the many names actual Americans had with this generic name for white Europeans.
That’s what I said. A… local account. I’m confused. A local account is an account that only works with your PC, a regular user account not related to any web service.
It’s a pity that my app only shows the link text to the photograph instead of the image itself, but I’m glad, in some way, that now I am aware of the existence of such an image of loss. It’s pure loss.
