This is what happened when I pulled back the graph a single year:

I think you're assuming a non-human fantasy dwarf here.

CPU manufacturers were getting jealous at the other hardware manufacturers claiming shortages in this artificial scarcity scenario.

You could say that about many countries, but the number of genocidal ethnostates out there is a lot smaller.

It's prosperous thanks to heavy support from the west through billions in welfare and trillions spent fighting wars for them. The private companies opening branches in israel is another form of support. Also, their nuclear program was built by stealing our secrets which apparently we allow.

True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.

The real fantasy is thinking a genocidal ethnostate that relies heavily on billions in welfare from the west is sustainable.

I will not shed a tear if israel is wiped out, just like I wouldn't have shed a tear if I was around to see nazi germany wiped out.

Biden could've slammed the brakes on Trump by appointing an AG who would've pursued prosecution and put Trump behind bars for his many crimes. Instead he appointed Merrick Garland, who was as useless as himself. Such is standard operating procedure of the democratic party: let bad guys go so you can have someone worse to run against instead of actually making things better.

No, that’s not how hijackings work, and not why they decreased. They did not “let the hijackers do what they want,” and anyway, how would that discourage hijacking? If they were letting the hijackers do whatever they want, wouldn’t that ENCOURAGE hijackers?

Yes it was how it used to work, that's why the planes would end up diverted. When that stopped being standard protocol, the hijackings reduced. You got it on that last sentence in that paragraph but for some reason think I'm arguing changing standard protocol to NOT allow hijackers to do their thing would encourage hijackers. You read my post backwards.

Hijackings went down because in the past the protocol was to let the hijacker do what they want since it just ended in a diverted plane with no one harmed. That doesn't work anymore and it's not because of the TSA.

They are a stock buyer and holder, so they take part in that pricing. If inflated valuations became a detriment, the stocks would be priced accordingly. We shouldn't desire unrealistic p/e ratios.

 

I saw this post titled "Scratch a anti-harm reductionist and a fascist bleeds" (https://lemmy.world/post/33320759)

I commented that "harm reduction" apparently means sending billions in weapons to israel while they commit genocide and shutting down campus protests speaking out against that genocide. I said that seemed pretty fascist to me.

Within an instant, they downvoted my post and banned me. Guess it's my fault for posting in a circlejerk community, but I'm still scratching my head on how that makes me a tankie. Something tells me this mod would be calling in the tanks to suppress any dissent if they could.

 

Context: https://lemmy.world/comment/14613536 Screenshotted context just in case:

A user claims that the killing in Palestine stopped under Biden now. I point out that biden had full-throatedly supported the genocide for over a year. A mod deletes my post and says that biden didn't "state" (keyword here) full-throated support for genocide.

I counter by saying I consider sending billions in support of genocide counts as full-throated support for genocide. I also point out that I didn't say Biden stated his support for genocide and that he didn't need to outright state it because actions speak louder than words.

I receive a temp ban for that counter and the mod adds a response where they claim the weapons were "provided for defense from Iran, full stop." which sounds to me like actual misinformation because how the hell does bombing hospitals in Gaza defend Israel from Iran? I'm not bothered by their stupid opinion, but I am bothered that they are enforcing it through moderation.

I ran into a similar moderation problem on the Political Memes community also on .world, but I didn't bother making a post here for that because that's just a dumb meme community and I was better off just blocking it, but now this is concerning a world news community and it's awful to see something like this happening in a community that's supposed to keep people aware of the news.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong and it actually is misinformation to say it's full-throated support of genocide to send billions in weapons to a country using those weapons to commit genocide. Please let me know what you think!

 

Not entirely sure what this is, but it was revealed during the Jackbox collab on Calli's channel. Reveal on June 18th 8:00PM PDT apparently!
