Your parents received your ss card after you were born once your SSN was assigned.

You register for the draft when you register to vote.

This whole 'You guys won' take is nonsense. We have to work together or WE are all equally fucked.

I’m gonna blow your mind here

That is is not the smart ass revelation that you imagine it should be.

You voted for Biden in 2020 despite his history of supporting wars that kill innocent people. He voted in favor of the Iraq War in 2003. Biden supported the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and reasserted the need to stay there in 2002. If you actually cared about war time deaths of innocents that Biden affects, you never would've supported him in the first place.

Now, suddenly, a war not supported or instigated by Biden is what causes you to turn against him in an election where the other candidate is openly talking about murdering his opposition out of revenge?

You just hopped on a bandwagon, one that's been flooded with adversarial political and foreign state sponsors.

I did what you demanded

You did it wrong. Make your own choices and support your own agency of thoughtfulness and objective consideration. Right now, your entire decision tree is quite obviously locked into a repeating loop. If you are relying on others to tell you how to vote, you lost your way before you ever learned the game.

Biden didn't fund Hamas in Gaza; Biden didn't direct Hamas to attack Israel; Biden didn't order the IDF to respond with weapons of war; Biden hasn't ordered or actively encouraged the Israelis to continue attacking Gaza and killing innocent people, families, and children.

The Israeli Government and their Military is who you should be railing on 24/7 for taking part in what is tantamount genocide of the Palestinians. I know you're not actually reading most if any of this and I should probably just hit cancel move on, but you're really leaning in and in the off chance something may spark, might as well try. Instead, you play right into propaganda intending to destabilize the US from within by sowing discontent in an election by putting blame of foreign military actions on an incumbent President trying to thread a needle of politics and diplomacy in an election year amid a foreign country's genocidal actions against a foreign people.

Getting Trump re-elected may be the single most world-wide destabilizing event that could happen as a result of a strictly US political process. He already tried to dissolve NATO for Putin once.

You want to play politics like it's 1v1 checkers when it's really 14,356 games of Chess at the same time, on a timer.

Maybe those expressions had a part in Mozilla's reversal?

What are you taking a victory lap for exactly?

If anything, a small victory lap is for all those people you sound smug about.

Obama's first go around felt pretty legit.

You pretty obviously don't know what you're talking about, almost every class my children have been in for middle school and high school had the children commit to not using their smartphone and sent home a slip to be signed by parents acknowledging that the phones will be taken away and have to be picked up by a parent if they become a distraction for the student. They include similar language in the school student handbook as well.

This law is just ridiculous authoritative nonsense, being used to score a victory for political marketing purposes.

I always worry that putting so much on FPTP as the problem is going to backfire. I open to trying to move away from it, but it does make it a little cheaper for dark money to invest in a candidate's image when they only have to maintain a strong showing vs overwhelming the 50% total tally.

It didn't keep the UK from Brexit and the EU is moving to the right. FPTP may not the game changer we imagine, it may simply be a 'grass is always greener' scenario.

It's just more manufactured outrage. There's enough reasons to take issue with Apple, this is not the example to use.

No, Russia fucked Kaspersky on this by invading Ukraine.

To be blunt, your spelling is atrocious even if you are not a native english speaker.

Propaganda fueled alligator tears, cognitive dissonance, or just looney tunes bullshit?

Why didnt you post any of those articles as Lemmy threads then?

Op's point lacked some defined clarity of context, but your particular subjective posting demonstrates your own inherent bias. It genuinely seems you only feigned objectivity as an attack to divert from exposure of your own bias.

Propaganda posting is propaganda posting, whichever side it comes from.

I still want a Sharp Zaurus as a phone, slide down keyboard and all.

Friday Nights All June! It's "Definitely Heterosexual Mens' Night" at the Old State Saloon!

...

Yeah, but seriously, fuck these snowflake clowns:

I'll argue that crocodile tears deserve downvotes, as do bullies.

Im pro jewish, Im pro Israeli, but im so anti-injustice that I'm willing to stand up to anyone pushing for or acting as a pro-war Israel supporter, or jewish as an Israeli identity when it comes to being prowarfare, when they still support what has quickly evolved into a politically strategic genocide against palestinians. Hamas deserved what it got in the immediate aftermath of October 7, but after 2 weeks then 3 weeks then a month then 2 months it showed that despite all of Israels' military and civilian efforts of having an experienced security apparatus steeped in information warfare and threat containment, they didnt have the effective strategic competence to actually wipe out Hamas without having to constantly murder civilians.

But they went ahead and kept on fucking killing.

So now, they keep moving goal posts for any chance of peace. Its not a new strategy, but it has far more violent consequences and only further spreads fervor for more violence. Peace begets peace. One side doesn't get to play that against the other like a ping pong match and expect objective obervers to fall for either side's propaganda.

This is all revenge without justice now.

Take your foot off the throttle.
