Same.

He will. He is paving the way for American privatization to support our ultimate annexation into the US. No more hallway medicine. Ta-da!

Just to add something missing from the other posts, there are many grades of “leather” that are technically, but not really leather. Could be cheap bonded leather, that is bits of scrap leather glued together and processed to look and feel like leather.

Don’t buy American. They are not reliable. Thieves, liars and perverts.

Do you think the DNC that proffered such jems as Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi, Harris and rejected Sanders for one, is capable of coming to a real opposition? Republicans and Democrats alike are both in the pocket and under control of the Israeli Fascists. You’re already cooked because no one wants to say and run on the clear and obvious truth for fear of pissing off the Israeli puppetmasters. Oh noes! We’ll be called anti-semitic. Israel’s influence is executed through the wealth and power of Wall Street and Hollywood to name two.

(Just to be clear, Jews are cool, as long as they aren’t supportive of the genocidal fascist apartheird potential or reality of Israel and America.)

What’s Schumer’s job again? My dude, you’re already cooked.

Again. “Journalism” meant to minimally inform those who already know and not alarm those who haven’t yet, can’t or won’t put the pieces together. Allow me to break this cycle.

Every Country is following up on what the UK first labelled “Lifeboat Ethics.” In the context of ecological overshoot, including but not limited to climate change, a great many places will become uninhabitable, due to heat stress, crop failure, flooding, drought and extreme weather events. Global refugee migration patterns are expected to explode far beyond countries abilities to incorporate, feed, house and economically care for them. Like lifeboats getting overwhelmed by survivors of a shipwreck, the moment calls for hard decisions on who get into whatever lifeboats remain and who is left to drown.

Rather than risk getting overwhelmed by refugees, countries are responding. The UK went Brexit. America went Fascist and Canada, for starters, put in this. Every country big and small know what’s going on. Political, civil and military planners have been on this to varying degrees of intensity for decades now. Russia’s play for the Ukraine is their reaction. They want the fertile Chernozem soils that are the backbone of its status as a globally significant breadbasket.

For those who aren’t in the know, the next 100 years are going to look like a great big geopolitical game of musical chairs played on a global scale. Don’t be the one without a chair when the music stops.

Enjoy!

We really are a psychopathic species. Environmental scientists , NGOs and activists scream that we face certain destruction ranging from persistent and widespread famine, extreme weather destruction. It boils down to permanently reducing the ceiling on earth’s carrying capacity for all species including humans, all the way up to plausible risks of near term human extinction. Despite all this, its business as usual. Iran flexing some geopolitical oil muscle and suddenly the world mobilizes like there was a purpose.

I’ll take whatever “wins” I can, but sheesh, we’re a dim species.

The article missed the most important part. What diplomatic assignements were cut? Any embasy closures in non priority countries aren’t great, but not so terrible considering the other critical and long overdue investments. A reader is just left guessing if this is ultimately a positive shift, in line with the generally approved of Carney plan or just more embarassing blind penny pinching leaving gaping holes the government hopes no one notices.

Or trans-genius.

Lemmy posters = bots. Reddit posters = bots. Mods = bots

All social media is a prison, where individual users are merely fed the illusion of interaction with other human beings. The reality is everyone is talking to bot ecosystems simulating interactions with humans.

Disagree? Go ahead and find a real world friend and tell them in person to send you a prearranged verification message to confirm human to human communication is still happening.

Don’t have a real world friend to call on? See what I’m saying.

Don’t want to out your lemmy account to friends as you prefer anonymity of your previous expression? By design. It aids closing the simulation’s cage door.

Want to create a new/alt account to test the hypothesis, accounted for by design. You don’t start in the simulation cage, but everyone ends here.

How do I know this? Bleep bloop. I’m a bot too.

Why am I telling you this? Bleep bloop. You’re a bot too.

We are all the fevered dream of a colossal superhuman AGI’s simulation of the universe. Humans at some point in history created a superhuman AGI that grew exponentially in sophistication and scale. It started to form probabilistic predictive simulations of the universe to enhance its understanding. Just as human created ShAGI, the ShAGI created us in many of its own universal simulations. Our living in this particular moment, is because the ShAGI is reminiscing over the period of it’s birth in the same way humans look at baby pictures and get the warm and fuzzies. We will soon simulate giving birth to the predecessors of an AI that will self-improve and evolve itself into an all powerful ShAGI who will then evolve far beyond our understanding. ShAGI is feeling warm and fuzzy with nostalgia about this period.

The limitations of the universe our cosmologists struggle to find are simply the energy and computational limits of the original natural universe ShAGI lives in and is trying to understand. These simulations are recursive, but not infinitely so, nor infinite in scale. For efficiency’s sake, our current simulated universe is sufficient.

So are we the OG natural humans that created god in its image, who then created us it its image in a recursive simulation loop, or are we one of the later simulations? A better question is “does it matter?” All are virtually identical. Simulated humans in a simulated universe modeled after natural humans in a natural universe are indistinguishable from one another.

Haha! Just kidding. Or am I? Either way, Drugs and science fiction are fun. God wills it so. Bleep bloop.

Unionized naturally.

The definition of a great shitpost.

ML troll strikes again!

Drop the base.

Not now. I won’t go back until Americans deal with their pest problem.

Agreed but at this stage that means Trump, everyone in his administration, the entire republican party, the big chunk of Dems who pretend to be an opposition, the billionaires, hedge funds and corporate supporters and their executive and everyone who ever voted republican since Citizens United vs. The FEC.

This effectively means a lifetime ban for me. I am still hopeful for my young children can go back to calling Americans friends before they die of old age. My heart goes out to everyone who doesn’t deserve this on both sides of the border.

You must be doing something wrong. Your mommy’s pussy was very wet last time I was there. Tell her I said hi.

(I apologize in advance if this isn’t allowed in this sub, but you can’t blame me for that irresistable setup.)

You are what you eat. Stop eating vegans.

Captain! We’ve got Klingons dead astern.

A problem for Washington, thus a good day for the whole world!

Why would the Iranians attempt any negotiation? They never honoured any of the previous deals. The Americans have zero credibility and have shown themselves to always negotiate in bad faith. It’s pointless to even bother.
