If he had said that you’d link me an article. He haven’t so you lie about it and justify it with orange man bad. Just shows how disinfo is spread by both sides.

No, stopping US military aid will definitely not stop the war and I’m not aware of Trump even claiming he is going to end military aid. Disinformation until proven otherwise.

Where has he said he wants to stop helping Ukraine? Haven’t he been quite vocal about wanting to end the war?

Nah, I don’t think she was serious about it. She was a frail old lady anyway.

10 year old me didn’t have much expectations about the future but I’d say 15 year old me would be most surprised about the fact that I have a girlfriend. If you were to then tell me that not only do I have a girlfriend but I also have a house and the truck I’ve always wanted it would literally blow his mind.

Of course, it’s okay. Being able to say “I don’t know” is a sign of intelligence in itself.

A huge number of people form opinions based on very limited knowledge, but these opinions then become part of their identity, and they feel compelled to defend them tooth and nail. I think the middle ground here is the idea of “strong opinions, loosely held,” meaning you have an opinion, but you understand it’s based on the best knowledge available at the time. You leave room for new information and allow your opinion to evolve. In fact, most opinions probably should be like that. There are very few views I hold that I feel are almost guaranteed not to change.

The Dunning-Kruger effect plays a big role here. When someone gains a moderate amount of knowledge on a subject, they often feel like they have a good understanding of it. But as they keep learning, they realize just how little they actually know. Uninformed people, by contrast, don’t know what they don’t know. These are the ones who write comments on social media pretending they’ve solved complex issues with simplistic solutions like “just do X,” while completely ignoring all the nuance. When you then try to introduce that nuance, they dig their heels in, taking it as a personal attack rather than a critique of their idea. This happens because they didn’t leave room for new information - they locked in their opinion, made it part of their identity, and threw away the key.

I’m starting to feel like more and more of these comics here are just political opinions not even intented to be entertaining.

I used their free email for years with no issues

I don’t think tax cuts alone are going to make it possible to live off single person income.

Male genital mutilation isn’t really a thing where I’m from so I’d say probably not.

No, I’m sure it’s probably that easy and they simply refuse to do so because they’re evil. I wish Lemmy would run the world so we’d have all things sorted out in no time.

In order to live off of one person’s income that person either needs to earn a shit ton of money or prices needs to come down significantly. That’s not something anyone can just make happen like that.

As if that’s something you can do just like that

My theory is that if we split people into two groups - those who hit snooze and those who don’t - and dropped them on a desert island to survive, one group would rebuild civilization while the other descended into chaos and perished.

Internal affairs will be in contact with you shortly.

Well yeah… Having money is not fun. Getting money is fun.

Hate to be that guy again, but you forgot the period at the end of your sentence.

Agreed. Hate is poison to the mind. To me, it means you want to destroy something on sight. I can’t think of a single thing I dislike that much

Hate is such a powerful emotion. I can’t honestly think anything that I hate. I dislike many things but not hate.

It starts by being the best feeling in the world and then you just slowly get used to it and it becomes quite mundane. Some people intrepret the honey moon period ending as the amount of love decreasing but in reality it just changes. This happens to everyone. Also, the first time is usually the best feeling one, especially in the beginning, while probably not objectively best of all the relationships you’re going to have.
