He wasn’t even better comparatively if you assume Trump is only possible because of Reagan.

Yes? We fund KSA who fund the RSF. If the US wanted to end the conflict they could, easily. But it’s not a convenient political pressure point for bad faith actors like yourself.

Literally yes, the US funds the KSA who fund the RSF

Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?

Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.

John Oliver had a segment on how electing judges in the US is a shitshow, mainly because it forces an otherwise non-partisan job to align with a party and also forces them to spend more time campaigning and less time on their actually job.

Switzerland spends a fraction of what their neighbors do on defense as a portion of GDP, which they get to do because of the benevolence of those neighbors. They’re “neutral” because they know that their neighbors are peaceful which they take full advantage of while contributing nothing. Of course their neutrality also conveniently allows them to harbor the money of the worst people and regimes in the world, going all the way back to Nazi Germany.

One of the many, many, problems with Reddit is that 1 upvote does not equal 1 upvote. Countless times I’ve found a days old post and or a comment that’s like 15 deep in a chain that no one else is possibly viewing, and up/down voted it. The UI shows the number changing, but if you then immediately (or much later) check it in an incognito browser you often can see that it didn’t change.

I assume it’s some weird anti bot voting algorithm, but it consistently applies to my very real accounts so it’s definitely not working as intended.

fuk switzerland, free riding mfers

This plus all the targeted right-wing algorithm rabbit holes that every social media site pushes its young users towards now.

I don’t think it is, here’s a reference to it from 4 years ago

Shai went 4-13 and his team still won by 50, not my mvp it is what it is

I’ve never understood the Boston Pizza brand. There are multiple US cities with unique or famous Pizza styles (NY, St. Louis, Chicago…), and Boston is definitely not one of them.

Even without the current geopolitical climate, I think they’d be better off with a new name.

Yep, if you open any subreddit (not including the reddit.com front page), it sprinkles days old posts in with the default “Best” filter. It’s a mystifyingly annoying change because from a user perspective you have to re-read the same post multiple times each week, and there’s no point further commenting on those threads because no one else is still engaging with them.

It’s like the worst of all worlds combination of old forums and old Reddit, because old threads keep getting necro-ed, but users have no control over which ones are coming back or when they do.

I like that on Lemmy you can comment on a 20+ hour old thread from the “front page” and still have a good chance at responses or interaction from other users.

Any subreddit that regularly hits the front page of Reddit requires that users comment in the first hour or two of the post being made, or latch onto some chain from the top existing comments, or else your comment is basically just thrown into the void. It’s even worse now that Reddit has started showing day or week old posts on the front page, like why bother commenting on those posts when absolutely no one will see it…

The most expensive iPhone retails for $1200, with a manufacturing price of ~$500 and net profit of ~$700.

So if an iPhone costs $3500 to make domestically, then Apple would need to sell it for $4200 to make the same profit. But even if Trump levies his 100% tariff on China, it would still be significantly cheaper for Apple to make iPhones in China and pay 2x the manufacturing costs ($1000), add the same $700 profit, and just charge $1700 for the same model.

So in the end no new domestic manufacturing jobs are made, Apple, an American company, loses business because less people would buy at a higher price, and American consumers get shafted.

Look up China’s final warning. Ironically it’s Trump whose the one issuing the “warning” with these tariffs that he is never actually going to follow through with (see: him caving today).

Chess is thousands of years old, but many popular variants like Fischer random or blitz are recent developments. Even auto chess is technically inspired by chess and now has millions of active players.

Despite borrowing principles from the original chess (which itself has changed quite a bit since inception) each of these games is substantially different from one another. You can call them recycled ideas, but I would just call it innovation.
