I guess he’s not getting a fair trial, they’ll have to jury nullify the shit out of it.

From urban dictionary:

A website full of cynics who yearn for the approval of those around them, and anonymously harrass people online for not conforming to their community’s beliefs, which they themselves have religiously adopted.

“Boy ol’ gosh golly, I sure do love going onto Kiwi Farms and laughing at autists and liberals!”

I don’t, they’ve been a mixed bag for quite a few years. They have some sketch board members as well.

These headlines are such crap. It makes it sound like you can see the bombers still intact, but Ukraine says they destroyed them. No, it shows them fucked up.

Before you mistake the move as an act of resistance by those within the agency who are trying to keep the project alive, Direct File getting open-sourced was always part of the plan. The code was published in compliance with the SHARE IT Act, which requires agencies to share custom source code (though, of course, the Trump administration is not always motivated by following the law, so this wasn’t a given).

In a report published last year, the IRS explained its reasoning for making the code available publicly: “First, it would enable public scrutiny of that code and invite independent groups to assess its accuracy and report potential issues. Second, other tax administrators, both in states and internationally, could build upon and contribute to the IRS’s work, improving the robustness of the software over time and providing additional public value.”

Key aspects of American influence on Japanese capitalism:

Post-WWII Occupation and Reconstruction: The US occupation, led by General Douglas MacArthur, introduced significant changes to Japan’s economic system. This included: Land Reform: Breaking up large landholdings to benefit farmers and reduce the power of wealthy landowners. Breaking up Zaibatsu: Attempting to dismantle the large, powerful business conglomerates (Zaibatsu) to promote free market competition. Promoting Free Market Capitalism: Shifting the Japanese economy towards a more free market model, inspired by American ideals.

I think we’re agreeing, we set up the Japanese markets. Not sure why you’re getting so antsy about this.

And they’re not a commonwealth of ours. If you think the US would defend Japan or Taiwan in the next few years, you’re as big of a fool as those that doubted a lying populist like Trump would win.

I didn’t say they were one, I said they’re almost like one. Do you think the trump administration would defend Puerto Rico? He threw paper towels at them when they had a disaster. Again, not saying Japan is a commonwealth, but trump sticking up for them isn’t a guide either.

They haven’t been mimicking American corporatism, they were set up that way after the war. You could almost call them a commonwealth since we have military bases there and protect them.

Edit: Compare them to Puerto Rico except the part about being an American citizen that can’t vote, and you’ll see that they’re very similar.

I upvoted and agree with you, but how do you stop demanding infinite growth out of the economy? Do you go after the shareholders and taxing the rich a lot more would fix that? Serious questions.

I’m really interested on how you think they should move away from a capitalist system, what the actual steps are. If you’re saying that they should treat their employees better and make the work culture more accommodating for families, I get your point.

I think you should try it then, see how much fun it is.

We get trolled a lot, that’s mostly what you’re seeing. They seem to be off schedule lately or the admins are handling them better, not sure which. I agree with being better commenters though, it would help the atmosphere.

Protestors gathered on the other side of the police tape, shouting at officers and questioning why Minneapolis police — whose leaders swore wouldn’t assist federal agencies in civil immigration enforcement — stood alongside ICE agents as officers searched the building.

Five years ago, this stretch of Lake Street was filled with protestors, who clashed with police following the murder of George Floyd. Today, protestors tossed traffic cones and trash cans in the way of law enforcement vehicles as they drove away from the scene, and shouted at the officers to go home, or quit their jobs.

I almost joined you. Thank you for all you did and I’m sad to see you go. I guess there’s a reason why it’s not that toxic on Lemmy, you guys were/are taking the brunt of it.

This is horrific. They murdered their dog and then murdered Joss. I can’t tell you how embarrassed I am for our country. These people did nothing wrong. I consider these cops as bad as the Uvalde cops. They are cowards and full of hate.

I have found my friends that are LGBTQ+ people are very supportive of each other. I hope they and allies step up for this man.

Is it a conspiracy when they said they did it? Don’t make me pull out receipts.

Trump and the other Republicans cheated in 2020, but didn’t quite do it right. They got it right in 2024. Trump got a lot of legit votes, too many, but he cheated as well. He might have won anyway, but we’ll never know for sure.

The US is one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, in the world. The issue is that there are very few people that represent that wealth.

This might be the one time I’m okay with this. It’s too hard on the humans that did this. I hope the AI won’t “learn” to be cruel from this though, and I don’t trust Meta to handle this gracefully.

Wtf is that headline?

A US appeals court continues to block Trump and Republicans from mass layoffs and restructuring of government agencies

Won’t websites not want that and block them? For instance, if I wanted the best price and terms on airline tickets, why would airlines want them to be crawled? It would be a race to the bottom. I see this as another AI thing not really working.
