Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:

The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.

These days the GNU rm specifically warns you and asks you to confirm before proceeding

One of the multiple lemmy newcomers that defederated from us; in their admins’ words, because we apparently “deny certain genocides”.

@[email protected] what “genocides” would those be exactly ?

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Been on lemmy for three years and I’ve never really lacked for content though.

Ah, fair enough.

but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

That description doesn’t match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I’m always somewhere else completely, the world doesn’t disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it’s almost instantaneous. And what’s on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

How do people not think of that, putting a quarter of your income away monthly, so obvious, I wonder why they don’t do it

Also a “retirement” implies a functioning biosphere in which to retire, fat chance.

The point is that electric cars are shit, have never been a solution to anything, and that they shouldn’t be presented as one, doubly so when as a technology, public transport exists.

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream, right ? still need to play it.

I use fluxbox but that doesn’t prevent using gnome apps; my main issue with them is that god-awful look they all assumed overnight a few years ago, without the title bar and the like (I think to match the Ubuntu tendency at the time / trying to emulate the fucked-up universal touch interface thing Microsoft tried to introduce at the time ?), from gedit to, indeed, evolution. I really loathe it. And thunderbird kept a classic look (firefox didn’t, which means regular css tweaking to achieve the same result).

Also thunderbird supports calendars and webdav/webcal sync with plugins (though perhaps evolution does as well now, I haven’t checked).

Everybody does, comrade

I still use thunderbird. It works well.

The internet of shit has no limits

Literally. Add “smart” or “connected” to any manufactured object you can think of, someone tried to pitch it. I just tried it with “smart toilet paper” and then “connected mug”. Both exist.

it would be easy to get back to meat eating

If it would “be easy” for you to get back to consuming animal products, it’s hard to imagine you’re vegan at all.

No, their metaphor was not ignorant at all.

Animal products have good taste for most people. The issue with them is not their taste, or the actual act of consumption of them, it’s the fact that their production necessarily involves the torture and killing of sapient beings.

If you can have “meat” without such effects (so, those fake vegan “meats”), then there is nothing wrong with it at all (I still prefer most of the time my rice, beans, tofu and TSP if only due to the cost but again, nothing wrong with it, quite the contrary).

9% of the population apparently, the highest in the world tied with Mexico.

Nooch does not contain B12. It is sometimes added to it, perhaps even often in the US ? but in the EU for example I’ve never ever seen B12-fortified nooch.

You’re not addressing their point. You’re the one that equated being virulently anti-israel with being “antisemitic” in your initial comment.

And frankly taking a look at the modlogs the removals I see seem all perfectly justified (mostly the spreading of actual lies, such as bullshit about decapitated babies).
