I second this.

I deliberately left the “/s” off the post as I was hoping OP would’ve chipped in again with more pearls of wisdom for us.
It’s not trolling, it’s flaming.

“Glad someone other than Putin had the ball’s to stand up to (him)…”
It’s not like Donny & JD were the first to stand up to that monstrous megalomaniac.

This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…
Having said that, best of luck with the community.
- Comment on Facepalm on multiple levels 1 week ago:
I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)
- Comment on Retro tech: Using the PSION Series 5 in 2023 2 weeks ago:
Still use my 5MX a couple of times a year… one of the most amazing pieces of technology I’ve ever owned.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Coolio.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
So you can understand up or down but struggle with left and right?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
I was trying to be analogous to help you understand… either you don’t want to understand or you’re not willing to understand or… there’s something else going on here.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
-7 and -9 are both numbers… but none of them are at zero or above. They are both negative, just by varying degrees.
Are you referring to yourself as “drag” or is that a typo?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Well, right is a term relative to centre which is relative to left.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Political literacy classes are available online… the idea of anybody thinking Lemmy is right wing (whether it’s code or the majority of its user base) is hilarious and a bit sad at the same time.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 weeks ago:
Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 weeks ago:
Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 3 weeks ago:
Nice. I like.
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 3 weeks ago:
-9 (minus nine) kind of works if we’re getting desperate.

I thought you were talking about me for a hot second…
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 4 weeks ago:
Maybe in the US they don’t…
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
I think you’re correct that (some / many) people see the tiniest chink in your armour and go for the juggler (jugular vein - clown 🤡 joke) to compound your misery to make themselves feel/look “strong”.
And, yes, in abusive relationships I believe a husband is more likely to hurt and damage his wife with his fists whereas a wife would be more likely to hurt and damage her husband with words - generally speaking. It’s tragic either way…
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 1 month ago:
So, purely hypothetically, you would be fine with a curator deleting / omitting a fact because it goes against the narrative they are driving?
Interesting… personally I’d before to read a truth I disliked than to continue believing erroneous information; but that’s just me.
- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 1 month ago:
I remember trying to listen to Radio Caroline under my duvet on an am portable radio as a kid. This film is loosely based on their story. Great cast. Absolute junk film - one of only four films (in any language) I’ve ever switched off before the end… but that’s just my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 1 month ago:
Would you agree that banning/censoring is a form of suppression rather than oppression?
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
I’ve thought about this a lot myself. I’m 12-15 friends/acquaintances down due to them deciding to step out of life in their twenties or thirties. On paper none of them seemed to be in too bad a way and yet…
There’s obviously the problem that having and discussing emotions is for girls and gays only (/s), but there must be more to it than that.
I think there’s an expectation (where I live) that men should be strong and stoic at all times - but, honestly, many of us are fragile little flowers, some of the time, but it’s seen (erroneously) as weakness.
In my experience most men are happy to talk about: “big screen tv’s, blunts, 40’s and bitches” to NSFW quote
but they can’t open up about emotions and feelings.

And I thank you for reading it.
Just to clarify my GBNews comment - they employ current and past Conservative politicians as show anchors so their impartiality is immediately compromised. It’s often seen as Fox News UK in that respect.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 1 month ago:
Damn. I never thought I’d click on GBNews (I feel like I need to disinfect my handset now.)
To quote their final paragraph:
“There is a precedent for local authorities delivering successful independent inquiries into the grooming gangs scandal, such as in Rotherham and Telford, where thousands of victims were identified after decades of abuse were ignored by the authorities.”
Whilst, yes, the government should be running the Home Office in reality the Civil Service runs the Home Office.
Another, older, article with a decent précis of what has gone on before:
As always, the whole truth is way too complicated to sum up in headlines and soundbites.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 1 month ago:
a.) A political party would not investigate under UK law.
b.) She was of the opinion that the council in question (Oldham?) should lead any investigation.
So Labour Party says local council should conduct (the first?) investigation of the horrific events that have and are going down. Headline makes it sound that Labour are happy to ignore child rape.
Disclaimer: imo both Labour and Conservative parties are packed with career politicians and probably don’t have five statesmen (statespeople?) amongst them. They are both as bad as each other and are a disgrace.
- Comment on "She Deserves To Be In Prison": Outrage Ensues In UK After Labour Refuses To Investigate 'Rape Gangs' 1 month ago:
This headline is inaccurate, but I guess you don’t care… plus a certain other party were the ones in power until very recently and (checks notes) instigated zero investigations but now they’re in opposition they’ve changed their tune.

These badboys exist - tempted to get the hotspot and navigation version.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 3 months ago:
I think he was Dutch - but they do tend to speak “better” English than the English.
The difference in UK/US (amongst other first language English nations) pronunciation is something I know effects hip-hop lyricism (i.e. rapping) as different pronunciations mean some words only rhyme in your own dialect.
