Pff. My shirt is tie-dyed.

There are also users on .ml that aren’t tankies. There are even tankies on other instances(!)

Stevie Deals is everywhere.

Yes, but dollars and ability to make others more dollars.

Tossup between 2 and 5. Forever locked in competition with their strengths and weaknesses perfectly inverted to each other. I used to use 5 for lineart and then shade with 2.

Basketball diplomacy builds good will.

I work 4 10s with Wednesdays off. Deal.

It’s acting entirely in the moment. It’s an ideologically vapid approach that is the realm of the pure grifter.

The loss game. When it isn’t loss, you lose.

Septic tank market hasn’t slowed though.

MBFC does the opposite of elevate conversations. It’s quite frankly a poison pill for conversations. People will apply their prejudices and alter their interpretations based on the ‘bias check’, typically before or instead of any critical thinking or ant article. of any article.

The last time the MBFC bot was going the user pushing it was very clearly aware of this dynamic. They also knew it was lumping everything to website source, despite authors and opinion pieces, for maximum damage.

Complaining a dream vacation ended because of warcrime accusations looks so strange from this side of the Rubicon…

Threat of a lawsuit is not a lawsuit.

What happens commonly is the threat of legal liability is used as a tool to gain some kind of leverage or compliance.

In business this is very prominent practice of utilizing capital to suppress competition. Inserting trouble + waste of time and money into your competition is very American.

No. My belief is that a ceasefire is a better condition than no ceasefire.

It is by no means an end to the conflict nor is there a solution. However it is, in fact, a ceasefire that has lasted longer than any other since October 7th.

I am indeed making the delusionally brave stance of spinning a seemingly lasting ceasefire as a positive.

The ceasefire has been in effect since January 19. Gazans have been returning to their rubble. There have been prisoner swaps and hostage releases.

So, for context, this is an improvement. Selling arms that aren’t actively being used is a whole lot better than when they are.

Again: not directly funding an ongoing genocide was not a major hurdle nor the big ask it was made out to be.

A ongoing and lasting ceasefire is an extreme gamechanger on Israel policy.

I find it interesting four of the top 10 sellers are Free To Play.

Trump knows his audience and the media too well.

He claimed his actions would help wildfires. That’s a win to his audience.

Experts said no and the Army Corps responded to pushback. That fuels his audience’s prejudices into believing Trump’s initial claim even more.

Their job is to do nothing and cede power and influence to unregulated, uncontrolled private interests of billionaires. It is now, was last week, and was years back. It is the merging and takeover of state power by corporate power.
