If he hasn’t gotten cynical at this point, he’ll be fine. It’s basically expected that he’s going to get roadblocks from the establishment and he has been so far, whining from the left is also fairly inevitable and it seems like he has a good enough support system and popularity that I’m not concerned about that.

I look up at the clouds and pray my hard drive doesn’t crap out.

To these people, “pushing a trans agenda” really means “not pushing a transphobic agenda”

In my experience, the ones who tell you unprompted that they’re vegan are usually relatively new to the diet and are more likely to be treating it as a short term fad diet than the more dedicated ethical vegans.

I’ve known people 10+ years vegan and they’re super healthy and active. So its really just that the fortifications in the US food system are targeted at non-vegans so you need to be more intentional about your diet as a vegan in the US.

So, um, what happened to the impeachment bill from early april? Still trickling down to the Judiciary comittee? I feel like it didn’t take this long for Clinton’s impeachment hearing…

Maybe this is a weird semantic difference.

If she lost more people by being hawkish and right leaning than she lost by being too liberal with social policies that nominally leaned left then that means she was too far right as that lost her more votes than her left leaning policies.

Both parties are pro genocide either here or abroad, but one at least has a sizeable wing that is actually opposed to foreign wars instead of just paying lip service to a supposed world order based on rule of law.

Vote for the candidate not the party.

AOC vs Rubio, you’re getting someone of Hispanic heritage whether you like it or not!

Many believe Harris lost in 2024 because voters viewed her as too progressive

Again, how is a public health campaign relevant to the discussion? You just like taking pot shots for no reason, I don’t post about Americans eating so much processed food we have wheelchairs to get around a grocery store but somehow can’t feed school children.

Can we maybe not put down minority groups while trying to support different minorities?

Over the years I think I care less about some public apology or statement to accept that a creator has moved past old behavior (I assume you’re talking about the bridge, I don’t really follow PewDiePie).

We see too many fake apologies and if it’s been some time, apologizing just gives an opportunity for viewers to dogpile when someone is trying to move past something.

I think if it’s been a few years and he’s clearly shown to have grown past it, that’s enough for me. You never really know what a content creator’s private beliefs are just how they choose to use their public persona.

He’s not even doing it for the pay anymore. He’s so far into it, if he stopped he would to actually acknowledge that he was bought and paid for by a foreign government to betray the interests of his voters and fellow citizens.

Honestly, Canada takes Minnesota and the great lake state, and the east and west coasts form their own countries might not be the worst outcome in 10 years or so.

That sounds like something you should do with content moderation rather than technologically.

There are also world politics communities, that explicitly ban US and other global north news. There are also country specific news communities as well. That’s kind of what having multiple communities is for.

If people aren’t willing to subscribe to those communities, they’re likely less willing to use a whole different lemmy instance.

Probably because they knew they were going to get a lot of mileage out of the puppet so they invested in a good one and really got good at using it.

If it’s a movie you’re not using it for years and years.

Don’t a lot of companies have a policy of not bringing your work or even personal phone to China and instead using a burner while you’re there?

It’s a bit nuts that someone working with classified information wouldn’t follow basic opsec practices.

That’s it? That’s like an upper middle class boomer’s retirement fund. I presume much of the compensation is going to be in diplomatic concessions.
