Why does everyone think North Koreans call Kim Jong Un "dear leader" or whatever? Is it a misleading translation of Korean honorifics or official titles or something? I know the main reason is bigotry, but this is so pervasive that I wanna know where it came from.
Why can't the British just do their own fuckin laundry?
Tbh you can repost the image on a community here to make the opposite point. I actually interpreted it that way before I realized where it was posted
That's... really sad. :(
Tapping on that picture makes Jerboa crash ๐ญ
There are also videos of people randomly driving across rural America and the conditions people live under are eye-opening. Crumbling roads, crumbling houses, crumbling businesses, and everything's miles away with a sole Dollar General as the town's grocer.
That's the navy seals copypasta LMAO
I love how one of the suggested responses is to provoke the AI even more
TL;DR because they got couped and are having a civil war right next to your border, are ignoring political attempts to resolve their issues, and want to join a military alliance that is an extreme threat to your national security
Ukraine has been in civil war since 2014 and hasn't respected either of the ceasefires that it signed onto (Minsk protocols). The fight was broadly started over whether Ukraine should align itself with Europe & America or Russia. Since then, the country has been couped by the US and has been persecuting and killing Ukrainians who support Russia and/or protest the new government.
There's also how Ukraine wants to join NATO, which would certainly mean that the US would station nukes right next to Moscow. Remember the Cuban missile crisis? This is basically the same thing but with even closer territories.
I'm not certain that Russia entering the war was the best move, but I'm also confident that US interference would never stop peacefully. I'm also certain that if it were a western country in a similar position, our media would be framing it as an intervention instead of an invasion. Keep in mind that Russia and Ukraine are separate countries in the first place because of US meddling and they've only been apart for ~30 years (many Russians have friends and family who died in the civil war prior to 2023).
So basically NATO has been expanding its way eastward since its foundation (despite promises not to) and has now butted up against Russia. Russia wants Ukraine to not join, but the US disagrees so here we are.
Btw this war doesn't have much to do with Putin or Zelensky, really. Replace the head of state for either country and you'd still end up with the same conflict. And people have been writing about this for decades now, Brzezinski in particular basically plotted out the US policies that led us here.
How did these dweebs find out about lemmygrad while not noticing hexbear or regular lemmy? What, is wisconcom advertising us on reddit? LMAO
These computer touchers probably threw this together an hour before midnight as their CS 469 keystone project
