This comic would have been perfect if the guy's hat just had MAGA on it, easier to get the message across

Trudeau said he had a message for the president: "Donald, you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do."

I'm surprised they had so many swastikas on display. I thought it was illegal to display them in Germany. Or maybe there's some exemption in the case of satire?

 

The likes of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin have been eviscerated by damning floats at a carnival in Germany.

The satirical – and rather graphic – floats were on display in Dusseldorf this week as part of the annual Rose Monday parade, the highpoint of the region’s carnival season.

Yes, use a niche platform where you can preach to the choir of 10 people, rather than the place where you might influence millions of views. Great suggestion!

 

Vladimir Putin has been crowned the Best Director of a Foreign Country at this year’s Academy Awards after helming the political-comedy ‘The United States of America’.

You get more engagement on Lemmy than on Reddit, even if you don't comment in the first 3h. Probably due to sorting, probably due to lower numbers, but even the silliest comment will get at least a few reactions.

You can really tell it's made by socialists who hate accumulation and want to give everyone a chance.

Or just use ranked voting or rated voting. Single winner doesn't imply the god awful first-past-the-post method

I was thinking the same earlier, but you can be sure that if there is a targeted campaign against Zelensky, Musk will tank his engagement, just as he cut off Starlink to Ukrainian military. Leaving X-crement is not purely aesthetic, it is a good safeguard

Is there any actual evidence that they are getting closer to AGI? It seems ridiculous to think that this LLM parrot bullshit is getting there, when the thing can't even learn the rules of a basic sum.

There was never any democracy to begin with if you can't vote for whoever the fuck you want, without resorting to "lesser evil" strategies.

Honestly, Vance seems even worse to me. Trump has that embarrassing grandpa vibe and he seems too stupid to make any important decisions on his own or realize what he's doing. Vance gives me a determined murderous intent vibe.

It was put on TV on purpose to make Zelensky look weak and make the US look strong (it's called propaganda) and so daddy Vlad can see that Trump is a good boy.

I can happily confirm that the woke mind virus is alive and well on Lemmy.

*Nitter mirror. Don't link directly to that shit stain of a site

 

I had a job interview with a company recently and one of the negative feedback I got was that I hadn't tried out their product. Now this might be a valid concern if they had any sort of free trial for it, but the lessons they offer start at 60€ and I didn't feel comfortable spending that amount just to get a better chance at an interview. They also offered no free credits or anything like that during the interview. I did understand how the product worked by researching it online.

I definitely feel that there's something wrong in asking for an interviewee to spend money on the product they are interviewing for. For one it's a great setup for a scam. But is there any regulation that should prevent companies from doing this? I am based in the EU and was interviewing for a Spanish company.

UPDATE: This is definitely not a scam, the company is fairly known. This is more of a question of is it right/legal to expect this?

Davos elites seem nostalgic for a time when "they were the gatekeepers and owned the facts". Imagine being held to a higher journalistic standard!
