I was explaining how they’re the same. You know, for someone who likes explaining the obvious, you really did miss out on this obvious point being made, twice.

I’m sure this won’t be used as an excuse to raise prices far beyond costs.

So if the US was vetoing previous ceasefire resolutions, what makes their proposed ceasefire resolution different?

The US was vetoing ceasefire resolutions before this.

No way, only China and Russia (THE BAD GUYS) spy while the US is innocent and unaware of even how to spy because it’s the GOOD GUY.

I’m not making fun of people not knowing things, I’m pointing out that there are way too many posts about tankies, far beyond any “tankie problem” that lemmy is imagined to have.

In case you’re not aware “glassed” means “nuked” and the only country that the US has nuked, not counting tests, is Japan.

The real moonshot is throwing around whatever bullshit they can to keep their ridiculous stock price going up even higher.

Nurses get paid $90 an hour?

Nice job, FCC, and only 20 years late!

Is there anyone remaining who doesn’t know after the million posts about tankies?

Ding ding ding. I have no idea where they’re pulling these numbers from when my grocery bill has doubled since the pandemic. I wish it was only 26% higher.

Two parties working together to carry out whatever they feel like (e.g. full support of genocide) against the will of the people (and having a media machine trying to convince people that it’s what they want) isn’t much different from having a single figurehead acting as dictator. In fact it allows for plausible deniability.

Would the Holocaust have been better if it was carried out between two political parties where you get to choose who carries it out? Vigilance against fascism should include being able to identify when a system is fascist in a roundabout way.

People don’t go to tiktok for the same reasons as instagram. It’s not just a function of number of people. There are a lot of people on facebook but it’s got a reputation as boomerville for a reason.

None of that matters because the only thing that drives US foreign policy is money. Us whining about it because tiktok told us to would amount to nothing.

Uber and Lyft were telling voters to vote against their own interests and it worked. If you think that US companies aren’t using your data to influence how you think then you’re a prime example of their success. It’s not just “innocent” money-making schemes, it includes manufacturing consent for wars.

That “sCiENcE” being:

NCRI began by analyzing differences between Instagram and TikTok hashtag use around popular culture icons and content. NCRI reasoned that the wide reach of platforms like Instagram and TikTok should ensure comparable use of popular culture hashtags.

So they work off the assumption that tiktok and instagram would have similar amounts of usage for the same hashtags. Fucking why? Did they not think different platforms would have different audiences?

Meanwhile I posted a clear example that demonstrates that not only do they not suppress content critical of China, they actually suppress content of certain sensitive topics for the US. You’d know that if you clicked the link, but you can’t even be bothered to read your own link, so I guess my expectations of you were too high.

It’s a video covering all sorts of forbidden topics in China and tagged with hashtags like #uyghur and #tiananmensquare but the video showed up on people’s “for you” page and engagement/views was in line with most of his other videos. On the other hand, his videos where he brings up other topics like the CIA get outright censored. He uploaded a video about Palestine and tagged one with tags like #freepalestine and then uploaded the same video again without those hashtags and the one with the hashtags has <70k views versus the >930k views of the video without the hashtags.

This was most apparent when people were shrieking about tankies. Seemed like redditors trying to recreate reddit on the fediverse.
