  But she’s not nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The UK will give you free citizenship if you’re considered very useful. A friend of mine is an epidemiologist, and they almost literally threw British citizenship at her. She said that nobody at the group ceremony spoke English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It also stinks. Source: my apartment stinks of baked broccoli.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what sources can I use to compare the armed forces of the world? Focus on America, Europe, Russia, Turkey, Japan, both Koreas⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump will absolutely arm Russia, though. People keep forgetting he’s a traitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does"⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a difference between race and nationality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The earth will be too hot to live on in less than 50 years, so yeah… Mr. Optimist indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if the vault is in Switzerland.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My God… I can’t believe people are still saying this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re STILL saying this shit? My God, we’re on the brink of WW3 because of people saying this shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we find a Human Editor that Discloses their all Studies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  AI can’t edit. AI needs editing.

  I’m an editor; my sources are experts, books, research papers, people who have had similar experiences, a degree in English Language, and a profound hatred of m-dashes and double spaces after a full stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  China wants Siberia because of its fresh water supply. It will either invade Russia or put Putin’s back against the wall and say, “Give us Siberia or else.”

  So I’m wondering if that is one of the reasons Putin recruited Trump. To have backup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Europe and the rest of the worlds response it to make weapons of war, someone will eventually insure they are all used.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The future entails being invaded by Russia if we don’t arm ourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell that to the 93% of morons who voted AfD in my town in Brandenburg. I’m so glad I’m moving away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re also trained to deescalate.

  I remember a while ago somebody posted a video of an Italian cop talking a guy who was beating his girlfriend into giving himself up and the Americans were completely baffled that he hadn’t just shot him.
