so, NATO’s surrender then… as a condition of a cease-fire with Ukraine… which isn’t a NATO member… which Putin invaded ostensibly to prevent it from joining NATO. right…

sure, I think we can do that. no Western troops, no problem! we’ll just give them each a few dozen hydrogen bombs, and call it even.

I don’t get it. Reddit’s so much more egregious than digg was - why haven’t more users jumped ship? the soul of the platform was broken with the API change, yet most users stayed, and the ones who did leave haven’t shown up here.

was Lemmy just not ready?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom pulls a Tulsi Gabbard and switches sides. He had Charlie Kirk (of TPUSA) on his podcast where he “completely aligned” with him on trans rights (i.e. eradicating us), then had Steve Bannon on. That’s a bit much even for the Liz Cheney flank of the DNC.

I suspect Newsom doesn’t see any future for his party, and is bailing out instead.

He agreed with all of Charlie Kirk’s (of TPUSA) views on trans people, when he recently hosted him on his podcast.

if he runs for President in 2028 I’m not voting for him. I’ve been an obedient progressive and held my nose voting for Clinton, Biden and Harris, but as a trans woman there’s no way in hell I’m putting up with his shit, after the hate he’s spewed. I’m just done.

I’d thrown in some community service on top, or 24 hours in jail if that’s not feasible. Fines just go to the kid’s parents - who also deserve to be punished tbf, based on how badly they’ve raised their kid to behave.

even if somehow these windmills need regular maintenance by Chinese operators, there’s still an easy solution: 1. put all the management endpoints into an isolated network where they can be accessed from a jumpbox; 2. provide access under escort, so German proctors are monitoring the session and can pause it at any time. extremely noncredible!

nope, a mostly straight jail. they won’t put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men’s prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a “reward” for good behavior. it’s called v-coding.
