Surprised nobody tounge in cheek said this already, maybe it's too obvious?

Ask an AI.

I'm not sure you understood. The fire is all of the other nonsense policies that trump comes up with, and that his party is likely to impose.

Is trump going to do anything different though?

Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

If the above is true, I don't know why anyone would bring his up. It's like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.

That's option 2 or 3, right?

It's an interesting problem.

Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can't afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, without pushing the change to EVs, and just not really manage this situation well?

My money is on aspirations for option 2, but in reality option 3.

White, republican, yet was still found not guilty by a jury?! :O

Elons character arc from a PR point of view is really interesting.

At one point I bet many of his current followers were loudly critical of him for Tesla disrupting the ICE vehicle industry. At that point he was seen as much more progressive.

But his mask has now been removed to show the opportunistic business man he is with very little moral standards. Becoming the enemy of many that had previously fallen for his PR, including me.

In my head he really seems like a comic book character.

I think the cringe here is more than somebody would have this in their window XD

But I get it- teenagers going to teenager or something like that.

Maybe there's some other context too, but from just tris pic... Cringe.

I genuinely use this technique to get myself out go and exercise sometimes.

Seeing my body as a pet I need to take for a walk can be a weird but helpful mindset.

Whilst these are all problems that it would be great to solve, I feel the vast majority of the public want to see politicians proposing ways to deal with more significant issues.

To me, this sounds like a list of things they feel the older generation dislikes strongly. They want to retain that base as much as possible so they'll put out statements like this ones without having, I suspect, much desire to follow through if and when they do have some power.

But I'm happy to be proven wrong on that.

My comment specifically states that killing him wasn't the optimal solution here, so I can't see how that's your intrepretation of it.

That's my interpretation of it because you're basically saying that because he was breaking the law (maybe you're saying that it's because he was breaking specific laws), it's justified that he was shot and killed.

Whether you want to pussyfoot around the distinction between him deserving it and it being justified is beside the point from my perspective because I don't believe he did deserve it or that it was justified.

Seems like we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Literally everyone acts like im some sort of evil disgusting monster and stays as far away from me as possible

The bit anon left out is that this is how everyone treats him everyday, sick or not.

 

Is anyone else noticing a lot of repeated posts in their feeds recently?

Almost each time I go through my subscribed, local, or all feeds I am now seeing the same post from the same community multiple times.

I'm using 'last 6 hours' as a filter if that helps.

 

I hope articles like this about the Tories keep up throughout labours time in power so people don't forget on the next GE.

 

Good things bad things. Feel free to vent!

We just made pizza together woop woop!

 
 

I'm trying to convince my wife to come over to lemmy but want to fulfill her community wants.

Does anybody know any communities for mums or parents in general?
