Whatever you want him to do, the next guy would reverse it in 2 months. Well done USA.

Close Cooperation with eachother. The USA can no longer be seen as a reliable partner with its wild ideological swings and a lack of strong commitment to the cause.

Make or break for a strong European State.

From a UK perspective we're absolutely fucked due to Brexit. USA is unreliable, detached from the EU, what's left? BRICS? Lol.

Shit.

Sigh. It's obvious what Trump was doing here.

He making a play to regain the childless cat lady vote.

Why Landlords never seem to take into account that rises in property/land value also equal profit has always been a mystery to me.

He had been incorrectly identified as a terrorist and an imminent threat. The fuck up was not the person who fired the gun but whoever gave him the order.

This should be pinned to the top.

I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm open to discussion.

Firstly, having read the full article... IF (big if) she's telling the truth and it wasn't even her then its hard not to feel sympathy for her.

Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn't have used it, but (bear with me) I'm not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you're not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

What about if it was a picture of a mastiff? Or a police officer? Both these things could symbolise the subjugation of slaves. Are we really gonna ban pictures of dogs or police?

Symbols mean different things to different people. Sometimes people just need to be told they've been insensitive and given the chance to apologise with promise of doing better in the future.

There is a scenario where whoever put that up was not invoking the lynchings of black people specifically.

Just my 2c.

Organising nones is like herding cats. The evangelicals do not get their power from their number. They vote uniformly and reliably, turning out for every primary, local, and federal election.

We are a diverse bunch with diverse opinions.

As a local, I really don't mind that this is the most famous Manchester picture from the last 4/5 years- genuinely a work of art.

Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.

Source: would like to do therapy but life/raising 3 kids is in the way.

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan's - Barbie would look like.

No more centralised social media. I really hope more of us make the switch. Lemmy feels like it could become a really special place.
