When my leftist American relatives get mad after I tell them the rest of the world thinks they're nuts
  • ...Jesus would be a socialist, you gimboid. Feeding the poor? Healing the sick? Being against money lending in the temple?!?!

    These fascists are fake Christians and follow their anti-christs, like Trump, who want to destroy democracy, empower the billionaire class and rule by way of golden calfs.

    Besides, being anti religious is being a bigot - you absolute troglodyte. I hope you stop being anti religious and start going out to touch some grass, inshallah.

    Also, I'm an atheist...

    I'm just that many steps ahead of you. Light years.

  • When my leftist American relatives get mad after I tell them the rest of the world thinks they're nuts
  • My brother in Christ, Jesus wouldn't be a democrat, but he would flip furniture at republicans.

    Also, most of the world think you're all crazy. What's that measuring unit you use? School shootings per football field? Yeah, that.

  • Liberation
  • Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it's a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

    The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

    All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn't give af about the dems - and it's well deserved.

  • World reactions as Donald Trump wins US presidential election
  • I think they will cut some support, but not all of it. The results is that Europe has to step it up, meaning European military industrial complex needs to step up, meaning US companies will lose money... and Donnie boy is all about that scrilla.

    Democrats To Blame For Trump’s Triumph: Owen Jones In New York - w/. Jeremy Cohan
  • Not just that, but a post above this one says how the constituency may have lost their faith in the democrat party and why the elite rhetoric used against democrats sort of has legs to stand on. If it's just a central body that decides the candidate and the constituency has no say, why even care? The choice has been made for you.

  • The Fediverse Desperately Needs Sustainable File Hosting
  • TL;Dr. From Wikipedia

    IPFS allows users to host and receive content in a manner similar to BitTorrent. As opposed to a centrally located server, IPFS is built around a decentralized system of user-operators who hold a portion of the overall data. Any user in the network can serve a file by its content address, and other peers in the network can find and request that content from any node who has it using a distributed hash table (DHT).

    So it's BitTorrent in the web browser... thanks. How is that to be competitive with CloudFlare and Quic again? It has the same network issues that the blockchain has, in that it will be cumbersome and slow - for anyone else that doesn't have millions to throw into infrastructure. Welcome to the same problem again, but in a different way.

  • The Fediverse Desperately Needs Sustainable File Hosting
  • The sustainability of it is questionable. If I'm not mistaken, IPFS is based on Ethereum, which has gone over to proof of stake rather than proof of work, but it's still a pretty cumbersome system.

    We're talking about something that needs to compete with Quic and CloudFlare. I'm not sure that Ethereum or even crypto itself is efficient enough as a content delivery method, that IPFS - though a nice idea - is unrealistic.

    But that's just speculation from someone who has zero knowledge behind IPFS as a technology and protocol, so take it with a grain of salt.

    EDIT: honestly, why qualify with "I'm not sure" when besserwissers and their alts roam the fediverse instead of going to therapy. Smh. Give the people a Tl;Dr at least. I'm not here for long form content.

  • Zelenskyy: Ukraine will not cede territory, regardless of US election results
  • I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you'll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

    In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn't neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

    For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

    The joke being that in the cities you won't find much guns, but travel out to the country and you'll find large showrooms.

    But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

  • "Deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king"
  • Ah yes, the revolving door argument, the favourite of prison industrial complex barons - and also the whipping boy of conservative election cycles.

    It also created lots more crime, because being "hard on crime" means depriving families of breadwinners, giving them a new social status so that they become second class citizens, and even saddling them with debt they can't pay while being fed through an industrial complex where they get traumatized and brow beaten until some of them turn feral, in effect actually fostring more crime and criminals - which makes "hard on crime" as a self fulfilling prophecy, and also a leftover mainstay from authoritarian nationalism and fascism...

    ...because conservatives and liberals are fucking dumb. But still, vote Kamela, you stupid removed.

    "oH bUt sHe LiBrUl n NoT dIveStInG fRoM IsReAl, ThErEFoRe mAkE oUiE sAd" I know!!! I do not care, because it is a dumb argument for stupid people who huff their own farts. Trump would give Netenyahu the go ahead on complete and total genocide in Gaza, and you know it. Gtfo here AND VOTE KAMELA, YOU STUPID removed!!!

    I'm sorry, yankies, but this election cycle is just the worst in recent memory. It's so dumb and frustrating.
