it might be worse in terms of brutality against police.

Oh noooo…anyway

Low effort, brain dead take

I do haha. I know it sounds gross to a lot of people, but once you get over the mental block of “only the fruit inside is food” that most of us are raised with, they’re actually quite tasty. You can dry them out and make a tasty snack too if you don’t want to raw dog them

Yes, I do. That’s what I was saying I’m my comment above. And just because you perceive them as highly unpalatable, does not mean thst everyone else does too.

Vegetarian here so can’t answer for the meat and bones, but absolutely on the fruit and veggie front. Peels have a ton of nutrients, texture, and flavour

It’s a spammer with a hard on against mbfc who has been posting shit “memes” across different instances. Best to block and ignore whenever you see an alt pop up

With zero evidence, other than having watched their crusade against mbfc over this past week, this feels like a weird alt by /u/CaliforniaKove who has been spamming everything with anti-mbfc posts recently

It’s the later. As the other user pointed out, lemmy.ml censors vulgar language by default

Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I’m guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they’re citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I’m a member). Normally I don’t removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.

Removed by mod

Fair. I meant more that we should do away with the term as it’s a propagandized and charged term

I’m baitin’

Leader of the western, capitalist, corpo-military complex sure…but “leader of the free world” is a bit hyperbolic no?

The research cost recovery line they often yap about is bullshit itself though. The overwhelming majority of pharma research like the one involved here is subsidized through taxpayer dollars already, and they get tax incentives and write offs for failed research. If we had a sane, working government we could nationalize all life saving medications funded by public money while still allowing the inventors to enjoy some (reasonable) economic benefits from the research

The Doctor has killed many an enemy when they’ve made it clear they would not change and would not stop.

OP is trying to imply that women are paid less then men because they’re unwilling to put themselves on the line in tough situations - the woman is ducking in the back while the man is covering Trump out front.

It’s a sad attempt at being edgy

I’ve found Thunder to be a great replacement with some modern, gesture and UX friendly enhancements. Raccoon for Lemmy is pure magic and I highly recommend it as well, but the UX and UI are more modern and has less of that RIF, old-school forum thread scroller vibe.

Us economy is driven by the military industrial complex. Taxpayer funded defense “aid” is given to countries, only for them to turn around and buy american weapons with said aid, thus funneling the money into private pockets. Legislature “pork” was/is notorious for kickbacks to local manufacturing plants for various military equipment. The entire scheme of “global defense” that the US has pushed over the last 70 years has been driven by the desire to monopolize military production and sales on a global scale. Sanctions are imposed on countries which otherwise agree ideologically with what the US professes are its ideals because those countries purchase arms from the US competitors, while notably hostile countries like Saudia Arabia are propped up bc they are good for business. Israel aid is given to be spent on US arms. The US doesn’t give a shit how countries use their arms, as long as they’re buying. Without the military industrial complex, much of the domestic economy would likewise grind to a halt. Hell, the US military is the biggest domestic employer. The system is simply not set up for a massive paradigm shift like that, though imo it’s going to have to happen eventually because the current, unsustainable system is reaching it’s last leg and starting to topple over.

Do you get off on having the absolute worst takes on every single thread, or are you legitimately that stupid?
