This idea that the military “fights for our freedom” needs to die. It’s complete horseshit. The last conflict the US military was involved in that could remotely be considered as a defense of Americans (the populace, not the oligarchs) was WW2. Everything since has been neocolonialism and gangster activity. Even prior to WW2, their primary function over their life has been genocide and colonialism. It was the US military that brought the world concentration camps. If there is any hope for Americans, we need to kill the civic religion.

In the US, that isn’t the case. “White” is treated as the default, and everyone else is “othered.” It is short hand for “not Caucasian.” It has changed now, but even hair products for black hair were labeled with signs as the ‘ethnic hair’ section for the majority of my life.

That’s the one strength the US has ever had, immigration. So many inventions and industries exist because of immigrants. Most times it was in the face of rampant descrimination, segregation, violence, and attempts to shut them down or take it from them. It was the only part of the civic religion they indoctrinated us with as children that wasn’t complete bullshit.

What does any of that have to do with using “tiny penis” as an insult? The issue the other user has is with the insult itself.

Yeah, 10 grand is actually a reasonable estimate for 100g of cocaine in most regions of the US, depending on quality and how you’re selling. The low end would be about 6k wholesale.

Oh wow. Now I need to look up a translation for what was said before that to maybe put it in context to at least see what they were attempting to convey.

I’m not sure why you made two different comments, but ok.

This is exactly what I’m talking about, denial of reality. I’m not talking about propaganda, I’m talking about the science. I’ve been paying attention for the last 25 years, and we’ve unfortunately hit a point where massive suffering and death are inevitable due to inaction.

Good for you?

That’s goofy as hell that the emergency number isn’t localized. I think the idea that pressing a physical button 5 times quickly is faster than having to look at the phone and select options. Idk, though, I don’t use it.

I’m not implying we shouldn’t try. I’m advocating a realistic view of the situation. Too many have their heads in the sand.

Yeah, this battle is, unfortunately, lost. It is now too late to stop what is coming. Keep in mind that the effects we’re witnessing are from emissions 10-20 years ago, and the global total continues to rise and will likely continue for the foreseeable future. If you haven’t yet, don’t procreate. If you have already, don’t continue to.

I see. I think the wording threw me off a bit.

I’ve always expected anywhere targeting tourists to be expensive relative to the local economy. That is an absurd price for bottled water, though. My rule of thumb is to never take anything from the minibar. There’s usually a shop within a block or two you get the same thing from at a much more reasonable rate.

Is that what was actually said or a poor translation?

I’m a bit confused with the section about “fees.” Are there casinos in the world you get to stay at, eat, and have them watch your kids for free?

Bixby was not llm based, originally, and sometimes updates will rewrite a user’s custom settings. For instance, I had a galaxy on which I made pushing the power button three times turn on the flashlight. An update occurred that overrode that setting by deleting it and turned on five presses to call 911. I ended up accidently calling 911 at 3am (accompanied by a blasting alarm sound) trying not to wake someone by turning on the light.

Edit: I misread your comment, apologies.

Honestly, this whole thing is hilarious. My interest was limited to start with after 2042. Now it doesn’t matter because I can’t play anyway (I’m not playing a shooter on console). Furthermore, it’s apparently a pain in the ass for Windows users, too. The incompetence is really incredible to watch.

There’s a similar connotation in the US, basically calling someone reckless. Like many words, it can be used with a positive or negative meaning depending on context.

Hell, the US is all they talk about here on lemmy. I’m not sure they don’t want to join either.

That shit is stupid and dangerous. Also, nothing that jackass said made any sense. If this wasn’t about sexual harassing women or shitting on women’s sports, then why chose the WNBA? Even if that statement is sincere, how could you not be aware that this would cause individuals who do hold those views to participate? Fuck crypto clowns.
