I think that’s some irresponsible shit right here. Whether or not she thinks that, she has to maneuver around the bad perceptions of the current presidency at least in words. Saying what she said is a godsend to Trump’s campaign.

And its sibling Shelter. Don’t know which one is more up-to-date lately.

Indispensable.

expelled six Indian diplomats including the high commissioner on Monday, linking them to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader and alleging a broader effort to target Indian dissidents in Canada.

Wow, what’s happening at NYT? Stuff like this could ruffle some feathers.

Oooh yeah I think that’s the one.

You can’t have one set of laws for small companies and another set of laws for large companies.

This is false. We can, and we do. Antitrust laws are one example off the top of my head. There are probably others. The assumption that every actor has to pay the same price is false as well. There are countless examples for this.

School bombings don’t qualify.

I watched something about a murder investigation where the cops went over how they do their analysis and I don’t remember any details but what stuck with me was that you don’t need to have your DNA in the database in order for them to be able to trace to you or very close to you, if folks close to your genetic tree have submitted theirs. So I’m afraid that when the nazis take power, it won’t matter much if you kept your DNA from 23andme. This whole data collection being allowed to happen is a genocide waiting to happen.

This view is a bit naive in that it doesn’t take into account a lot of variables. It favors established large actors in their ability to extract and accumulate ever more value from the ones they link.

I get the sentiment but this is a misdiagnosis. The Heritage Foundation is a standard, logical product of the capitalist system. You could eradicate this organization, but capital has many more that are ready to take its place in the relentless regulatory capture process.

Perhaps if he does that, then Joe and Harris will be forced to materially change their tune and take some real action in an attempt to save the elction.

Is this the human shields situation I keep hearing about?

• Sounds like the troops are to operate the air defense system
• This looks like further evidence that Iran was able to present a credible threat with their last attack, unlike the framing it received from the Israeli officials

Didn’t basically everyone resume UNRWA funding after looking at the evidence? You’d think they wouldn’t have done that if the allegations were credible enough.

I thought “X is Hamas” is a fairly well established meme on Lemmy by this point.

You’re either perpetuating the deep sarcasm or you ain’t reading right. 😅 If the former - applause.

Seems like UN is Hamas.

For the Internet as a whole, perhaps. For Meta platforms and equivalent - this is factually false. They do not simply show you what you like. Far from it. You should read up on it if you haven’t.

that the people consuming and amplifying those lies are not helpless dupes but willing participants…

Ah yes, the willing participants who tweak the algorithms to show them the most enraging hyper personalized garbage there is.

Wait those might be different people.
