The NYT haven’t changed. They’ve been aligned with corporate greed and neo-conservative goals and attitudes for at least 40 years. Yes you can find individual articles that don’t, but editorially they always have.

Though they always presented their image as ‘social liberal progressive attitudes’ and ‘fiscal responsibility with social support’, if you look at their actual reporting track record they’ve helped manufacture consent for almost every US war of the last 30+ years, and have consistently sided with the desires of whatever government is currently in power and fiscal conservative attitudes throughout.

Their freedom always boils down to I’m allowed the freedom to make terrible choices, whereas your pussy government tries to care for and protect your community. Be it gun access, their healthcare system, food safety, gambling regulation, medical programs, pollution laws… (this list in almost infinite).

By their yardstick, the most freedom-loving countries in the world are just those where money buys you access and permission to everything - Somalia, Sudan, Cameroon, Cambodia, North Korea, Russia… you know… the same places they call shitholes.

One day they’ll maybe figure out collectively that they have been had by the wealthy, who advertise and campaign to trick them into voting against taxation and regulation and protections that benefit them and their whole community, but it won’t be anytime soon.

In my experience arguing with older Murdoch/con-media brainwashed relatives that look similar to this caricature… logical appeals don’t help, and explaining why their position is hypocricritical (as in this accurate meme), just inflames them and they flip through there ‘angry index’ of whataboutisms to pivot to, like their media talking heads do - one angry subject to the next.

Everyone that disagrees with them feels like a personal attack because their positions are held by feelings of safety, fear, and the perceived comfort of never having to change. Disagreement attacks that core.

TLDR; meme funny, don’t try this IRL.

Yeah just block em dude. I enjoy your comments. Including this one.

There’s a fair percentage of people I’d say are mentally ill or at least like you say… Seem to be constantly experiencing the worst day of their lives here. I just block them and move on with life - I’m not their therapist.

My experience of Lemmy after blocking just 40 or so users, (and shit communities that I don’t want to see posts from) has changed greatly for the positive. Don’t let them drag you down, there’s plenty of room here for reasonable opinions.

Yes. Solely because the USA is steering far away from a Star Trek future of combined global efforts to advance humanity in cooperation into space, preferring instead to advance billionaire space playthings and defund all science research.

The EU is the new horse to back.

Up likely, due to perceived scarcity as some is damaged / destroyed.

Not having to commute and be at a workplace for an additional day is massive though.

Next step lets work on that 40 hours, because almost all of the rest of the world has on between 36 and 38 to account for legally required lunch and breaks, and the current push is to even less (~32-35) for 4-day work weeks.

Welcome to 19th century workers’ rights, Nepal. Glad you finally made it.

Yeah this is the wildest overvaluation I’ve seen in ages. I’ve never heard of them, seems like most people here haven’t.

OpenAI must be getting pretty damned desperate to turn the AI narrative to do this.

That’s an old iphone from the 80s.

“Privatize the profits, socialise the costs” may as well be Amazon’s corporate motto by this point.

I feel for sellers who are faced with a slowly shortening list of alternatives to sell their products via to get as wide a customer base as possible, and feel pushed onto Amazon by its ubiquity. It’s a shit service for sellers.

The question is really how much did they profit. Was it a cheap investment to bring games to PC, and gain a significant but not overwhelming return? If so, it’s a big win.

Or was it expensive as fuck to bring games to PC and not much profit - in which case we lose out as PC gamers.

I’m tangentially curious how much of that revenue is solely Helldiver’s 2.

Flatly illegal, under penalty of jailtime and felony charges.

But will never be prosecuted because the USA is not a serious country.

Boy, I sure wonder why one of the official examples of the IHRA definition of antisemitism is that it’s automatically ‘antisemitism’ to compare Israel’s actions to that of Nazi Germany.

Damn… it’s nearly 10 years since the last moron games executive tried to give us a “sense of pride and accomplishment”.

This next-gen version is really stretching the limits of those terms…

Kinda hoping he’ll do it himself after some ketamine-induced psychosis snaps what’s left of his brain.

My guess with his ego, money and insecurity is that he owns a bunch of personal firearms and walks around his home cosplaying with them fully loaded on the regular.

In no part of the quoted post does AoC say she thinks Israel “should be recieving US interceptors”.

She in fact very clearly spells out that she will be continuing to vote against approving any new military funding to Israel. She cannot vote against existing funding… that is a stupid suggestion.

OP post (from both OP and OP in image) are dumb as hell…

‘One of the very few people in Congress whom are against funding Israel’s genocide, and vote accordingly & consistently, are saying they’ll continue to vote against… But they’ve not said it in the exact way I want them to - this makes me big mad!’ 😡

Pick your battles jfc.

With how cheap and available solar panels and entry-level electric cars are, the whole Iran war stupidity should remind everyone that internal-combusion engine vehicles are a thing of the past… With some exceptions of course. And renewables insulate you a lot from this volatility at a business / state / national level.

Anyone doing less than 100km of travel a day is crazy to be buying ICE vehicles in 2026.

Nah that spider is too cool to enjoy dark web shit.

It’s just taking kids to all the inclusive communities, private torrent sites and free streaming servers.

I wouldn’t count on the SC decision, they’ve made it clear their decisions are now heavily partisan.

Heck there may even still be a Republican president, and majority in the house and/or senate next presidency, because of voter suppression, literal direct vote manipulation (cheating/rigging), Elon offering idiot voters million dollar cheques, media capture (lying and brainwashing), voter apathy, an astounding amount of cognitively damaged voters that no longer value right and wrong or can tell truth from fiction… Etcetc.

Trump and his allies broke so many election laws and tried their hardest to cheat in the last two elections and there were essentially no consequences for Trump, only benefits, and few consequences for his allies - many of which have now been pardoned / rewarded… and now his cronies run everything. I don’t see how you guys vote your way out of this tbh.

Still vote of course, but set expectations that they’ll cheat and prepare for a disaster. The last two elections have been bad, but the next election is going to be a goddamn mess.
