The only way that I can see that platform being shut down, is if it is swamped with lawsuits. The thing with Musk is that he can just waive them all away with money. There would have to be other things to factor in to break down the platform.

It’d have to be swamped with so much controversy that it’d have to force some governmental body’s hand to take it down.

I’d love it that if I blocked someone, I don’t see their messages when I check notifications. Also, I am begging for Lemmy to be the first social media platform, to shroud your profile optionally without blocking.

I’m just as annoyed at the name. Car Thing? They fucking call it ‘Car Thing’? Stupid fucks.

As much as it occasionally annoys me for people to go ga-ga over bigfoot or nessie or UFOs, I would trade that in exchange for current conspiracy theories where people are rampantly aggressive to try and prove their conspiracy theories right. We’re talking anti-vaxxers, QAnon .etc

Political conspiracy shit is five times more aggravating.

I saw a UFO a few times this week. Too bad I can’t fucking hold a camera to save my life so I’ll just juggle it and make do with some sneaky editing while saying nothing is edited.

“Here, I just want a space where we can just talk about the idea of talking about what we would like to talk about!”

It’s sad that we’re making a big damn deal out of - straws. I don’t drink anything out with straws and the only times I do is if I’m at a restaurant and they use plastic.

It just depends on what you want out of your system and whether the distro can fulfill your needs.

If you’re still wanting everything you run on Windows, to run on a Linux distro like as if it was out of the box and no need of another program, you’re going to end up having to stick to Windows because that kind of perfection doesn’t exist.

The problem isn’t the charity, it’s the restrictive way a business handles charity donating.

Why a quarter? Why these select brands? Could’ve done so much better.

To all and every non-american - the only reason you’re ever told that America is great, is because it is being compared to, to where you are now. America is NOT everything though. It’s got it’s own problems.

What’s it matter even if it was 10,000% right?

Even if he was indicted, those millions of followers will burn the country down anyways. Because they’re all self-fulfilling, selfish, egotistical, narcissistic, irresponsible and demented people.

Reminds me of the meme “you’re talking mad shit for someone in crusading range”.

Yeah…good luck with that. As far as millions of anti-vaxxers are concerned, they determined the whole epidemic to be over. So, we’re going to be dealing with spreads again and death. It’s what they want anyways.

We didn’t forget about the guy, the american population didn’t. Bush and his cretins, did. Don’t be barking up the wrong tree, we knew this shit all along so anything you’re saying is absolutely nothing we hadn’t heard before all throughout the war.

That still though, doesn’t mean that those lives lost in WTC didn’t matter. That’s what you’re making it sound like. “DUUHHH THE CIVILIANS LOST IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ COMBINED OUTWEIGH THE BODY COUNT OF THE WTC TRAGEDY SO UHHH THAT MEAN THEIR LIVES MATTER MORE!” The whole damn war was a shitshow, again nothing new. But don’t go around pretending that there wasn’t a trigger somewhere for why shit happened as you’ve just demonstrated. You’re ignorant.

Yes, the US did lose Afghanistan. This was Bush’s fight, his war. A war he started, but couldn’t finish, so other people later had to finish it for him. They wouldn’t have wasted so many lives and resources, if they didn’t get their war strategies off of idiots like Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and the rest of his incompetent administration. Bush had intel well in advance, before going into any war. He didn’t listen to a damn thing anyone placed infront of his clueless looking face, because he felt he had all of the answers, apparently.

And I stated in another comment, but all we had to do was go to Pakistan, and we would’ve gotten Osama a lot earlier. He was there for 10 whole years. Granted, the Pakistani government wouldn’t wanted to have play ball and tell us where he’d be. But we’d have a link there and we should’ve stuck there until he was found far earlier than waiting 10 years til.

Well, no shit, really? What point did you have coming into this? You’ve stumbled over yourself there.

I don’t really get the stance of “you wanted revenge, bloodthirsty revenge murica”. Did you forget that innocent lives were taken, unasked?

What the fuck would YOU do? Sit there and twiddle your thumbs all like “oh…3,000 people, never forget. sniff”.

Help in what way? The USA’s attention on Afghanistan lasted a few months at best, then it turned entirely over to Iraq. Sure, we’ve picked at a few terrorist leaders, but it turned into a damn whack-a-mole game and the USA prioritized getting oil and went on a crusade against civilians and opposing forces for a tragedy most of them didn’t have anything to do with.

That’d be like asking someone to help you move some furniture into your house, but they help you for 20 minutes before deciding that the neighbor across from you has better shit and looked at them funny, is a concern so they fuck up their entire home and family.

Yeah I’d be siding with the aliens. Probe my ass as many times, long as I get everything a band of old goons in lifetime positions can’t give what I and others need and want prior to the invasion.
