I read Ken’s book and it seems he always painted himself in the best of lights. At the same time, even from his own POV, he always came off as screwing his workers.

They are eating the dogs and now they are tariffing the penguins.

Uh? Of course he isn’t. Why would Putin tell him to put tariffs on himself? That makes no sense.

The other fly swatters will know not to mess with that fly.

This reminds me of a story with an old high school maths teacher.

Someone said a number divided by zero was zero and he proceeded to explain why it was not. One of the class jokers went “oh yeah, well my calculator says it’s zero!”. The teachers smiles and says “surely not” and approaches the joker to see what kind of shenanigan he was pulling. And sure as hell he divides five by zero and zero is the result. The teacher, not believing his own eyes, looks at the calculator, then the joker, then the calculator again. The window was open. Figure out the rest yourself.

Not much, just stare at Luigi’s picture and droll.

I’m not.

This animal needs to go.

Jesus fucking Christ, I wished they had all voted Democrat just to shut you up. Trump is bad enough but hearing you guys complain about this over and over is just too much.

Let it go, for fuck sakes. Deal with it.

They are both a docker-compose on the same machine.

Swiss?

THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES

That’s not how democracy works…

Being restricted to two candidates is just like a one-party state with an extra choice for shits and giggles.

People vote with their conscience on whatever candidate they feel represents them. And it’s THEIR business.

Anything else is NOT democracy. Nobody is entitled to your vote. That’s the one power you have.

Maybe Musk should sue them…

Not only do I don’t mind multiple instances, I welcome it. It’s a feature for me, not a bug. But having to create multiple accounts is a no-no and what keeps people away. People say you only need one but that’s not true if you want to be active in multiple instances.

If the fediverse had a way to unify account creation, that would be a game changer. It’s pretty much what’s holding the fediverse down, be it Lemmy, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc. It’s frustrating because without that limitation I could see the corpos being given a run for their money.

“They want more!”

“But, they’re already making more money…what’s the point?”

“Who said anything about money…”

It’s a common proverb in Portuguese, not just in Brazil.

We don’t really need the power to be able to attack the US. Just enough to be able to defend ourselves and that is far from impossible even in 4 years.

If the US takes over Greenland, whatever the means, there’s no way that small population stays. Deportation or gentrification they will be kicked out and replaced by Americans.

I feel your frustration but this isn’t a petty dictator with his boot on his people’s neck. He was elected. The US, as a nation, chose this. You are choosing your new allies and your new enemies and being quite clear about it.

As an European it’s pretty clear now that the US is our enemy. This is just the start. We really need to put our military in order and prepare for the inevitable attack.
