Sounds like a coincidence.

Classified areas don’t allow phones but classified areas are usually a subset of a company or something that does allow them outside the secure area.

Sure he is…like the Olympics.

It’s the friggin power lines that are the real bottleneck. What a stupid fucktard.

I’m so happy for him.

But did I read that right? He’s devastated? I thought he’d be happy. He got what he voted for.

I friggin hate this authoritarian shit. And California no less. Sounds like some civil disobedience is called for.

Like what if I want to print a play gun for cosplay? Sorry, you live in a free country. Go buy a real one instead. And worse, someone might want to print a shape very similar to a gun but completely unrelated. Nope.

You know what would be a good win? Charging customers the same rates to power their homes as the operators of this aircraft.

Thank you for that.

Guess Californians need to grab an old printer real quick and hang on to it.

I’m guessing it would cost more then for all the 90 year olds and toddlers to go to college with the rest of America.

You know, the really silly thing is, we probably align closely in our political beliefs.

While I would like you to include legitimate sources in your posts, I certainly don’t think bickering with you on Lemmy will actually change things, so…yeah, pretty much expected.

You think 370 million Americans are all going to go to college?

Don’t have to actually imagine it.

I want sources because I use them in arguments against people who support the crap that’s happening. So yeah, I’m going to bitch when someone posts something I’m interested in without one, but instead puts the burden on every single reader who also wants to prevent the spread of misinformation.

And no I don’t expect someone to give me a subscription to WAPO to verify the article. That’s just you throwing around yet more hyperbole. And I’m pretty sure you know the vast majority of lemmings are not going to try to get around a pay wall, just to verify a post that already supports their opinion.

Also, get bent!

No disagreement there.

My disagreement is with the meme and anyone who spreads it thinking it’s ok to lie to make a point.

And?

Fuck yeah!

Yup and that’s probably the biggest injustice the world has ever seen. But that doesn’t erase the fact that Bezos, does not have an income or even a net worth of $1.5T, which is what it would take at 4.7% to make $70B.

This meme could just as easily have said, for instance, that “just Bezos alone could personally fund this program for three years and he’d still be a billionaire. Imagine if we forced that on every billionaire.” It would still make a powerful point without spreading a lie to do it. Because if you think a whole bunch of people who saw this and didn’t fact check it AREN’T going to repeat it to other people, your kidding yourself.

I don’t believe that vehemently disagreeing with the other side gives you a license to spread misinformation. It is my belief that if you have to lie to make your point, maybe you should reconsider your point. This is my belief whether it’s MAGA doing the lying or their opponents.

AND just because I’ve pointed out that this meme is demonstrably incorrect doesn’t mean that I don’t agree with the sentiment. I just believe this administration and it’s followers are doing plenty of factually horrible things, there’s plenty of factually good points to make on that topic without having to resort to making shit up. Period.

Could you imagine him coming out and saying that he messed up, that it caused suffering, that he was going to fix it and not let it ever happen again? Holy crap, I think I just blew my own mind.
