We should all be so lucky. No. This current government will bail him out.

There’s a lot of crimes happening nowadays by members of this administration. Add it to the pile.

ah, but how many dictatorships have you lived in so far?

First time for me too.

ahh, that makes sense, thanks. Yeah, in what brief research I did, it does appear like there are a lot of mushrooms that aren’t safe for chickens and lizards, possibly due to their biological differences, but that there were still a good number of mushrooms they could eat.

The interesting thing you were alluding to is that they have some biological instinct to not eat shrooms because maybe it wiped a lot of them out at one point. That’d be super cool to link :)

😂 It was not, but now it will be.

This is the same thing that happened back in the day with Digg/Reddit. Same shit.

There’s bots, or just a broader user base that disagrees, but in general, I’ve noticed Lemmy being a bit better over the last 2 years since I exodused Reddit.

Anyhow, point being, I do respect your view and perspective that things are getting more negative, but that’s a part of the growth cycle of these systems, and the same thing was said at similar times during other platform’s growing periods.

Just keep being positive and be the change you want to see on Lemmy and others will follow.

I’m here, I was told there would be cupcakes?

That is fair, but is it due to the VoA group? Perfect is the enemy of good. If VoA is doing some good, why shut it down? Unless the good that it’s doing potentially disrupts the bad things you want to do.

That’s a cool fact, do you have a source I could check out and read through? I tried some light web searching but couldn’t find anything saying this.

It’s literally an anti fascism broadcast created after WW2 so they can disrupt the next potential dictatorship.

So it makes sense he’d want it gone, but I’m not sure why you do.

haha. The man is a national treasure. We don’t have too many of those left it seems.

Because they were likely the first mammals. So they’ve had ample time to evolve their cuteness.

Jumping in here on the Kilmer love train to say if you haven’t yet, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, is some of his and RDJ’s finest work imo. Shane black wrote/directed it.

I watch it annually at this point.

Miss Kilmer. Tombstone was probably his best role of all time, no doubt, but man he’s been so good in almost everything he’s done.

Correct. The issue, of course, is that without due process, anyone can be accused of being here illegally and deported if you can’t get time in front of a judge to show documents and prove your case.

This is why citizens and non-citizens are paired up in regards to that law.

It’s a catch 22 otherwise.

It’s the same with the US paying more than its fair share of the NATO budget he likes to harp on about.

He’s right about that; however we do get a lot back from that in other ways that aren’t directly tied to budget support, not to mention the goodwill of the countries that are actually on the frontlines fighting wars, unlike America right now.

Like, pulling out of NATO is not the solution to the other countries not paying their “fair share”, nor is forcing tariffs on the world because you don’t understand what a trade deficit is because you apparently bonespurred your way out of college too.

NATO is a critical effort that should not be hampered by which countries have what amounts of money to put in, but in the desire to stand united against truly great evil rising again like it did in 1914 and 1939. Everyone helps out in the ways they can best do it. European countries are literally on the frontlines of our current proxy wars and need our help to keep it from spilling over elsewhere. Because if that happens, the nickles and dimes we’re spending on NATO above everyone else will seem like chump change.

I did, sorry, Godot is what I mean. I’ve been watching too much Wonder Woman it seems…

Do not let this happen. Fight it with everything you have. The US is an example of what happens when those extremist ideas in the heritage foundation are actually put into practice.

I repeat, fuck the heritage foundation, and if you’re in Europe, fight like hell to keep that shit from taking hold.

Well done Mexico. Let’s hope this trend of fighting back against the US continues. Huge fan of the Mexican president right now. Wish she was out president in the states. Hell, I wish a coma patient were in charge right now. Things would be more stable.

I mean, you’re both right here

Hah, I understand. I miss the simplicity of C often.

But give C# a try, I was pleasantly surprised.
