If they solved the crisis, they’d lose their voters. There is no incentive to solve it.

You’re right, it didn’t come out of thin air, it’s a sustained fearmongering campaign by the far-right parties to scare dumb people into voting against their own interests.

Which is actually hilarious because in what world is attacking military targets that are used for military operations against Ukraine stationed on a military site “terrorism”

The mental gymnastics performed for this are actually quite impressive

Yes, that is what “per person per year” means

Not enough to win it

Ah that’s what they mean with “right to work”!

That’s a myth perpetuated by the polar bears, they’re just perverts

I think it’s called a seasfire now

Yeah I wonder if this is a product from 10 years ago and Apple just doesn’t drop the listed price.

Also “manufactured in the same Chinese city” doesn’t make sense at all. Why would the location of the factory say anything about the product? You can make two different things in the same city.

Low quality karma farming post

I read on Facebook that Linux turns the computers gay!!1!

Someone who phrases a question like that doesn’t want discussion, nothing good can come of engaging indeed

I thought I was having a stroke tbh

And this is for law enforcement level of personnel. Meta and friends just outsource content moderation to low-wage countries and let the poors deal with the PTSD themselves.

Let’s hope that’s what AI can help with, instead of techbrocracy

Agreed, this is a valid list of minor concerns but this is just a fearmongering post. It’s not good that some metadata can leak but if you take normal precautions (i.e. don’t run this next to your classified information storage) it’s fine to open this so your friends can watch media.

Edit: lol don’t look at OPs post history, now I know where the fearmongering came from

No thanks I do that operation myself a few times per week

Was MK Ultra the one where they drugged their own employees or the general population? (or was it both?)

Agreed, it’s much better to ditch “European” brands like Salomon and Arc’teryx which fall under Amer Sports which is owned (besides being 45% Chinese) in part by billionaire/premium asshat Chip Wilson:

In his book titled Little Black Stretchy Pants, Wilson wrote that he is not necessarily opposed to child labour, as "working young is excellent training for life.

In October 2024, a sign went up at Wilson’s home in British Columbia, which is the most expensive home in the province. The sign criticized British Columbia premier David Eby, reading “Eby will tell you the Conservatives are ‘Far right’ but neglects saying that the NDP is ‘Communist.’”

In early 2024, Wilson expressed concern over Lululemon’s diversity and inclusion policy saying in a Forbes interview: “they’re trying to become like the Gap, everything to everybody.” He also criticized an advertisement made by the company featuring plus-sized women models, whom he said looked “unhealthy,” “sickly” and “not inspirational.” These statements were seen as offensive, with Time reporting them to be “fat-phobic”. Lululemon was quick to distance themselves from Wilson’s comments, saying, “Chip Wilson does not speak for Lululemon, and his comments do not reflect our company views or beliefs.”

Buying ethically is not as easy as avoiding most American brands. Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper.

Yeah this is definitely coming at some point. What are we gonna do? Stop paying?
