That would matter if these people cared about glory for their country instead of wealth for themselves.

It’s about locking people in.
obvs@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•If the US is a democracy then Americans are responsible for the actions of their leaders601·2 days agoIn what world is the United States a democracy?
Nothing the people actually want ever happens.
If it did, they wouldn’t all end up bankrupt at the end of their lives.
obvs@lemmy.worldto Quark's@startrek.website•David Ellison says 70% of Americans are centrist. Surveys tell a different storyEnglish3·3 days agoWait just a minute here.
You’re telling me that David Ellison LIES?
I am SHOCKED!
I’ve been banned so many times over there. And I’m not saying this as if I’ve ever done anything to try to be banned over there. The vast majority of the time when I have been banned it’s been because the moderators of certain subs COMPLETELY misinterpreted what I had been trying to say and banned me and then when I contacted them to try to explain the misunderstanding they’ve refused to accept that there was actually a misunderstanding.
Some VERY popular subs have really bad moderators.

And Private Internet Access and ExpressVPN are owned by Kape, an Israeli firm.
ProtonVPN is owned by Proton, in Switzerland.
obvs@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•A company worth $340bn, ladies and gentlemen2·6 days agoI actually manage servers and network services, and am familiar with the importance of five nines uptime. It seems like this kind of an interface is a failure in that it provides quick information to most people but doesn’t include information for people with disabilities. I think it would be beneficial to have that visual interface with color information but to also include information that showed bars of different heights and widths.
I understand that the direct inclusion of all of the numbers could clutter the interface and make it less easy to immediately tell uptime, but even without the numbers it seems that significant improvements could be made to the way this information is presented with this layout.

“Marl…BRO.”
obvs@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Conversion Therapy Gets Speech Protections — But Trans Kids’ Existence Gets No Protection At All5·7 days agoThe U.S. Government never passes up an opportunity to declare people to be property.
Children are not property. Children are people.
The exact same logic that adults can speak toward children in ways that are abusive because those adults are legally allowed to speak is exactly the logic that would say that adults can sexually abuse children because those adults are legally allowed to have sex.
No. When your actions have victims, you are violating those victims’ rights.
And that is true REGARDLESS of what this court of “justices” claims.
The people on this court don’t even know what the word “justice” means, and they have no business being called it.

obvs@lemmy.worldto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•America Is Now a Rogue Superpower104·9 days agoThe USA is NOT a superpower.
It’s just a country with a big military that is using up its advantages really quickly and is making its citizens hate it.
The most important aspect of a superpower is that its citizens have to be in support of it, or at the very least, the government needs to be stable.
The United States does not have a stable government, and will not for any kind of forseeable future.

obvs@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When the profit margin on the warranty is much larger than on the product itself4·10 days agoIt’s crazy when I buy a $3 product on some site and the site offers me a 3-year warranty for $20. No thanks, bro. I’ll take my chances that I won’t have to replace the item seven times within the next three years.
obvs@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•JD Vance Says UFOs Are Actually Demons8·11 days agoIf JD Vance had any ability to identify demons there is no way he would have ended up in his current role.
They need to identify all of the transgender people so they can prevent the transgender people from being a danger to people’s privacy.
Or something.
