Have seen euromaidanpress articles before, I think they’re legit if not a bit sensationalist and obviously very pro-Ukraine.

And of course Russia blames a smoooooking incident. There’s this one Russian guy who just smokes everywhere he shouldn’t. Munition storages, aviation bases, flagship Moskva…

You’re probably in good company then, but should still strive to do a lot better.

Thanks, saved me having to write that. There is a lot of valid criticism women can level against “the modern man”, depending on the culture they live in. But this is not it. I have never heard of a guy claiming to be of higher status and cussing off a woman who rejected him. Maybe we sometimes think we’re higher status than a woman or whatever, but then again we do that with other men too. It’s a human thing, not a gender thing. Women most definitely categorize men into lower and higher strata subconsciously too, if nothing else.

Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.

Fun fact, we didn’t use to need that. Which is why millennials typically don’t use /s outside Reddit. 90’s and early 2000s forum culture required everyone to use common sense, a concept now entirely ethereal to zoomers. Back in my day…

I guess if the people of Greenland accept a measly 10k soon to be worthless USD in exchange to join a dying empire, they deserve to be part of that empire. Maybe Trump is actually smart and this is a hidden IQ test.

There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

And…then?

1. Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander

2. I don’t think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.

3. Greenlanders would have to call themselves “Americans” henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.

Utterly dumb. Or is there a special meaning I’m just not getting?

A better example for a straw man argument would be OPs picture, as it essentially proclaims “all lonely males are just shit people and it’s their fault!”.

Lmao none of them will remember that 3 years from now when Trump or his successor run on a platform of “DEMOCRATS HAVE LOOSED THE SEWER MUTANTS ON US, WE NEVER HAD SEWER MUTANTS BEFORE SOROS FINANCED THEM. I BOLTED DOWN ALL THE MANHOLES IN NEW YORK. WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE AGAINST SEWER MUTANTS?”

Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.

You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.

Based.

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I’ve only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

• The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as “catastrophic collapse”)

• It will turn out that trade was “fake and gay” all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for “activism” against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.

If you use X for your activism, you’re not an activist you’re a fed honeypot.

He generally should avoid publicly associating himself with the EU or “Europe, the continent” or “European values”. The EU is Trump’s, and more importantly Vance’s, declared arch-enemy and the ultimate target. Since they are the last big bastion of liberal values. This will tick off Trump again, which while cool, is not a good idea at all.

Instead he should say how he would love to join the US as the 51st or 52nd state. No, he won’t mean it nor should he. It’s all just kabuki theater anyway.

Look at me, I’m power tripping and making ban decisions public! I’m also passive-aggressive in the end.

I thought Lemmy was supposed to have 5-6 years before becoming unusable like Reddit? Or is it an European thing?

Inb4 banned for stereotyping :D Do it.

If it is determined without a doubt that he’s an Agent, the government he spied for will be contacted to see if there are any deals to be made. If not, he will simply be prosecuted and jailed for later use. The fact that he is prosecuted and why will be made public, but the actual prosecution not for national security reasons.

Alright this is knee-jerk speculation, but the only reason I can think of for the FBI collecting evidence like this (the moving boxes) and the university not saying anything, is because it was determined Prof. Wang is a Chinese agent. It’s very unlikely ICE would come after professors, could do it silently, and someone in an area of expertise that is highly sought-after would be deported at all. And they wouldn’t include the FBI either.

…and that would matter if he was dependent on votes by an electorate. He is not.
