Yes, commissar
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 1 week ago:
From what I am to understand it will be finally requiring the Real ID be implemented everywhere, and everyone needs to carry that, or a passport.
- Comment on California’s Regulations, Not Price Gouging, Cause High Gas Prices, USC Study Finds 1 week ago:
ohhh, yeah the media bias apps, and services, are not really, truly reliable either. When you dig into any of them they become more and more suspect. From being owned by questionable entities, to just being incompetently run.
- Comment on California’s Regulations, Not Price Gouging, Cause High Gas Prices, USC Study Finds 1 week ago:
To put some emphasis on something aow said, Falun Gong is a cult. This publication is literally owned by a cult.
- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
- Comment on "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring 3 weeks ago:
Nobody has a good view of insurance. Views on Elon, and his companies, are far more mixed. So it isn’t impossible. Even today there are a LOT of morons who basically see him as the messiah.
- Comment on "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring 3 weeks ago:
The left could do nothing but kill themselves in the service of making right wing people’s lives better and they would still call them the violent left.
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Yeah, all our news media sucks, but right wing media has become like a caricature of a dystopian novel’s government’s propaganda bureaucrat
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Yes, their office paid for a service they provide that is not their news paper, nor was it just given to them. It also is no where near 8 million dollars. Beyond that, politico offers services that almost everyone in congress, GOP or DNC, pays for, that has nothing to do with their news paper
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Turns out, this isn’t true. Shocker.
- Comment on A MAGA star is born! On her first day, Trump's sparkling new press secretary Karoline Leavitt, age 27, hits the 'legacy media' with brilliantly barbed remark 2 months ago:
Yes, a good job, looking like a deer in headlights when actual hard questions about Trump’s decisions came forth, like cutting medicare
- Comment on A MAGA star is born! On her first day, Trump's sparkling new press secretary Karoline Leavitt, age 27, hits the 'legacy media' with brilliantly barbed remark 2 months ago:
If any quote in that article is seen as a “brilliantly barbed remark” by the person who wrote that headline, they are barely literate.
It is the dm though, so the person who wrote the headline probably didn’t even know what the article said. Her responses at the press conference could have been better scripted by children.
- Comment on Abbott, Patrick break fundraising records in 2024 2 months ago:
Nah, they cheer it on while the majority of their rural residents have similar levels of access to medical as Guatemala, the immigrants are still going to be used to do the labor, and when they aren’t it will be because they have finally broken the average citizen’s QOL to the point where they will be exploited on the level of people who have to flee where they are born, as they are that desperate.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 months ago:
Yeah, the place i had originally read it now shows a retraction based on a bad report, replied a little further down
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 months ago:
This was actually the next link down, but the one I went to post retracted since I read it. So yes, my post was in correct.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 2 months ago:
this is a nitpick, but Trump actually closely lost the popular vote once all sources were fully accounted for.
- Comment on The Progressive Left's Glossary Of Terms, 2024 Edition 3 months ago:
Yeah, Zero Hedge has been a loser online for a long time now. Completely the model of “it’s just dark humor/the truth, not my fault you can’t handle it!” and then absolutely melts down over criticism
