Are you posting this from Victorian England?

Owning people is frowned upon these days, even if they are insurance salespeople.

It’s not really a discussion. They know damn well they are full of shit. But for the most part, they got away with it because we have a history of being soft when it comes to consequences for traitorous behavior.

Your spoiler worked for me. If it’s any consolation, I don’t think the Lemmy formatting is uniform across the various apps. I’ve seen other items that were supposedly spoilered that I could read without tapping.

Quality over quantity. Doesn’t matter how much you post or comment if your opinions are shit, and judging someone for how often they post is pretty shitty.

Fuck all that. People who reject empathy don’t deserve empathetic treatment. He was a giant turd and I’m glad he got flushed.

All good, friend. Keep hating those Nazis.

I appreciate the sentiment, but for the record, the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a civilian award, so it’s unlikely that anyone was awarded one for killing Nazis (although I’d be happy to be proven otherwise!). With it being the highest civilian award available, the military equivalent should be the Medal of Honor, which requires gallantry at the risk of one’s own life above and beyond the call of duty.

Last I checked, hating Nazis wasn’t a UCMJ violation.

If anything, I’d be more concerned that I still agree with my teenage self. Because that means that either you were a very prescient teen, or that your opinions haven’t matured beyond surface-level understanding.

And I’m from '84 but I don’t claim the 80s because I barely remember starting Kindergarten in '89. If you honestly feel that remembering some cartoons at the end of the 90s qualifies you, I won’t deny your 90s kid membership.

Also, I hardly see this as gatekeeping. If you can’t remember the decade, I think it’s fair to say you’re not a kid of that decade.

For real. Already passed 40 here.

90s kids were mostly born in the 80s. If you don’t remember the 90s, you aren’t a 90s kid.

Don’t forget BMX XXX!

Fuck man. I happened to catch part of an interview with Vance the other day, and every fucking statement was about how bad Biden did this, and how Biden screwed this up. They don’t have a single original policy or idea, just “Biden bad.”

See, you don’t understand. He’s the President, which in his mind, makes him America. So, him saying “America first” is really just his way of saying “I’m the only one who matters.” Which makes a lot more sense when you look at the shit he’s doing.

You fool, don’t wake her before election season!

Looks like an inflatable Trump sex doll head from the thumbnail.

Also, good luck unseeing that.

Honestly, that’s politics for you. Regardless of what a country is actually doing, they will maintain an official stance for the record. Calling that country a liar is considered impolite.

Edit: in diplomatic terms that is.

The US officially has what’s called a One China Policy. The embassy located in Taipei isn’t even called an embassy. It’s the American Institute Taipei. And yes, it’s because they don’t want to get on China’s bad side.

Granted, that was all before Trump decided to flip the trade table, so who knows what the stance going forward will be.
