Funny that you emphasized this word, which has become such a tell of ChatGPT (along with “delve” and “crucial”).

CRIBSUS

Every time I read an article like this I have to shake my head because they make Americans look like the dumbest people imaginable, absolutely incapable of understanding cause and effect.

South America in general. Peru even had a president named Fujimori not that long ago.

And yet the American luegenpresse never fail to disappoint.

This wasn’t a “clash”, it was schoolyard-tier bullying by Trump and his lapdog Vance. I would however not expect the malicious and sycophantic American press to be honest about this.

Those charts are hilarious: wow, it gives the right answer 62.5% of the time and only makes up completely false answers 37.1% of the time! It’s like Russian roulette, but worse!

Disability advocates seem unaware of what right-wingers mean when they complain about “free speech”. This is it.

They control moderation, as they also do on Reddit. I don’t know about Lemmy but I have personally been shadowbanned on their Reddit sub. They can’t do that on Mastodon.

It was still a completely naive and idiotic thing to say and doesn’t show the forethought and strategic thinking that comes with being a good CEO, especially one of a service that could literally put people’s lives in danger if jeopardized.

They also can’t control the narrative on Mastodon like they do on Reddit and Lemmy through “volunteer mod” Nelizea. I’m glad I quit using them — they are becoming tech bro chuds (or maybe always were but just hid it better)

Exactly. Americans are very quick to deflect and turn to whataboutism when held responsible for their actions.

Other than Hungary those examples are not even in the same postal code as what’s happening in the US, let alone the same ballpark. Argentina and Indonesia were always a clusterfuck, and were never first-world countries.

It’s obviously pretty stupid, but we shouldn’t act like the Americans are especially dumb, this is happening all over the globe.

Is it really, though? Which other first-world country would you say is even remotely as far down the rabbit hole of idiocy as the USA?

It was Napoleon who said something similar to that quote, but the point stands.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

Reading between the lines, ol’ Bob here seems to think that only MAGA are people. Destroying the libs’ lives is perfectly fine.

Really? That’s odd, because he seems to be doing anything he wants right now, and no one is stopping him.

The Conservative leader In Canada (Pierre Poilievre) as well. I wonder why right-wingers are so focused on circumventing the state?
