“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.

Cuba is eyeing that straw pretty hard right now.

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

We are going to build a new prison though, and that will fix it you’ll see…

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.

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.

Cops in the USA, as well as being scum, are terrified. The population has almost no access to mental health care, near unlimited access to guns, and many reasons to not trust the police. The police are also trained as “warriors” instead of guardians with a us vs them mentality. I’d imagine besides the legal ramifications, Uk and Eu police are just not as scared shitless and therefore don’t start popping off when an acorn hits their car or a 13 year old has a stick.

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.
