- Comment on Panama Papers leak has led to nearly $2B in recouped taxes for governments 1 day ago:
Wow, I’m surprised anything happened at all.
- Comment on Sneaker and apparel retailers blindsided by tariffs on Asian factory hubs 2 days ago:
He did what Putin told him. Trump only has manipulation, threats, hate, and insecurity. He doesn’t have a plan or intelligence.
- Comment on Investors flee U.S. stocks as markets react sharply to Trump's tariff plan 3 days ago:
Damn, I started a high deductible health insurance and last month got it high enough to invest part of it.
Fingers crossed I’m still employed for a while to buy in at the lower prices, and I live long enough to recover.
Countries with national healthcare also don’t have their healthcare dependent on the stock market. I’m jealous.
- Comment on Ukraine's NATO membership not included, never was in minerals deal, Zelensky says 3 days ago:
Ukraine needs to be in NATO.
Hell, with the way Ukraine fights, NATO needs Ukraine more than Ukraine needs NATO.

Save Ukraine!
- Comment on UK newly requires everyone working for Russia to register their activities 3 days ago:
If UK citizens working for Russia are like US citizens working for Russia, that group doesn’t follow rules.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Maybe switch to official French?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Just 3 hours ago you complained Lemmy has too much liberal content, and here you are talking about prostitution. Prostitution is not liberal, but it’s something many conservatives won’t talk about.
Maybe it’s time to step away and take a nap.
- Comment on Is there a non leftist version of this website? 5 days ago:
You might find Truth Social to be a safe space.
- Comment on Italian PM calls for ‘reasoned’ approach to escalating tariff war between EU and US 6 days ago:
There is no reasoning with a narcissistic toddler.
- Comment on Trump says 'very angry' with Putin over Ukraine: NBC 6 days ago:
I bet Trump promised some donors access to the minerals of Ukraine. And now those donors are getting mad at Trump.
Oh well, shouldn’t promise something you don’t already have.
- Comment on Short attention span 1 week ago:
I’m working on writing down lists on paper by hand, not typing into a device. I can copy over to a device, but the writing by hand is helpful.
And sometimes I’ll write down tasks that I did finish already. For me, seeing the number of completed tasks doesn’t matter much, but just the break to reflect on what has been done is grounding.
Sometimes even break the list into multiple lists, such as one where you move all the yard tasks to, and kitchen tasks, and cleaning tasks…, if the main list gets too long.
- Comment on Short attention span 1 week ago:
Sounds like you made changes to get better. The TDLR glosses over all that work and makes it seem like you are saying for OP to just sit and wait for it to resolve on its own.
- Comment on France | Macron announces €2 billion in military aid to Kyiv ahead of Ukraine security summit 1 week ago:
Awesome! Save Ukraine!
- Comment on Trump threatens new tariffs on Canada, including 250% tax on dairy 4 weeks ago:
This dude has PMS, like, 5 times a day.
And all those other idiots say we can’t have a woman president because of emotions.
- Comment on US cuts Ukraine access to Maxar’s satellite imagery service, company says 4 weeks ago:
Wow, so now Maxar will be known as voluntarily helping Russia.
Whatever was said behind closed doors was not a law that legally forbade them.
- Comment on France's Macron says he will hold meeting of European army chiefs in Paris next week 4 weeks ago:
I hope Europe can get Ukraine to win their war soon, so then Europe can fix the US.
Or maybe the world will just leave the US to rot alone, like North Korea.
- Comment on Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ‘worse than tariff’ 4 weeks ago:
Yup. Trump created this problem.
- Comment on European markets soar as Germany moves to lift ‘debt brake’ and raise defence spending 4 weeks ago:
As a non-billionaire American, I’m gonna have to look at getting a lot more international with my retirement stocks.
- Comment on Panama president calls Trump's talk of 'reclaiming' the Panama Canal a lie 4 weeks ago:
Smarter than most Americans. Everything Trump says is a lie.
- Comment on Canadians cancel U.S. travel plans amid anger over tariffs 4 weeks ago:
Why would anyone visit a country that wants to overtake them?

Trump is such a baby.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
AI can only respond with patterns based on what it has seen before. To AI, human language has even less sense than those math problems that draw some shapes and ask you what is the next shape in the pattern.
AI can’t think. It only seem patterns and percentages.
Ask it to tell a story about a dog, and it will because it has seen that before. Ask it to tell a story about the 6-legged beings on Pluto and it makes a super generic and short story and just pastes in “6-legged being,” because it has never seen any stories like that. It can’t imagine a new set of circumstances.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
“Because it’s been happening…” Is not even an argument. It’s a super lazy answer that shows a complete lack of effort.
Was this same person sitting in a climate controlled building? Did this person eat food they gathered that morning? Does this person do something besides sleep after the sun sets?
- Comment on UK's Royal Society of top scientists mulls call to oust Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
They spent the time to find all this evidence and post all these reasons to kick him out, and yet they still didn’t realize that he’s not a scientist, hasn’t invented anything, and hasn’t furthered knowledge in any subject.
- Comment on UK's Royal Society of top scientists mulls call to oust Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
If only someone had said, back in 2018, “Hey, he’s not a scientist.”
- Comment on When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well? 4 weeks ago:
Readers are also looking in related communities.
This also fragments any discussion.
At that point, it feels more like you’re spam-pushing an opinion rather than trying to have a discussion.
