They were at first, and if you find someone going on about Monero they still might be, but most of the crypto bubble was the dumber, less successful finance bros trying to go to the moon or whatever. They don’t actually understand crypto, they just use buzzwords to try to sell it to people.

Just because it sucks, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The simple fact of the matter is that the statements “The Democrats are supporting a genocidal regime in Israel.” and “If Trump becomes president Netanyahu will destroy Rafah and expand the violence into the West Bank.” are not mutually exclusive statements. Taking a simple quick action to prevent one does not stop me from fighting the other. In fact, doing nothing to stop the worse case is supporting genocide. There will be more genocide if we all do nothing, and I have never seen any leftist actually suggest taking any action here on Lemmy. It’s never about doing anything. It’s always about what not to do. If that’s all you’ve got, then you’ve already failed.

Nah, bullshit. Don’t lie to me. You aren’t this stupid. If Trump wins Rafah will be a crater and violence will be escalating in the West Bank within a month. I’m not willing to watch those people die just to send a message. That’s genocide just as surely as anything the Democrats are doing. Those are the lives that matter. Those are the lives I’m talking about. If you can’t bring yourself to stop that, you don’t actually care about genocide. You just want to be self-righteous.

Tell that to the people whose lives are on the line.

Sure, you totally raised millions of dollars for a cause that the government is opposed to, but they totally don’t know who you are. Sure, dude. And yeah, harm reduction is totally the same thing as supporting the government. There can be no disagreement. Either you agree with every word I say or you’re a fed. Those are the only options.

Man, Lemmy sure is a shithole where leftists go when they know they’ve failed but want an echo chamber to tell them they’re totally right about everything.

Pfft, I’m not the one telling anyone that wanting less people to die is supporting genocide and claiming to have raised two million dollars on the basis of trust me bro.

Sure, sure. I totally believe you. All this just happened to happen completely disconnected from anything on Lemmy, but as soon as someone calls you out suddenly you’ve always been a saint. I totally buy it. Totally.

So why won’t you do anything for the people who are still alive, then?

Funny how many people on Lemmy totally claim they’re totally taking action without ever having a single one of them actually saying what that action might be. I’m sure you’re totally doing lots and not just calling people who disagree with you names on an obscure website though.

If you think your inaction will result in saving the life of a single person you are completely disconnected from reality. I’m sorry you’re in denial.

You are explicitly pro more death.

You cannot make me sit idly by and do nothing while innocents die.

See, the difference between me and you is that I care about the people who are still alive, not just the ones who are dead. I’m not okay with letting millions of innocent people die just so I don’t have to “support genocide”. I’m sure your conscience is more important than their lives though.

I’m sure if Trump wins it will be of great comfort to the millions more Palestinians dying in the genocide that their deaths will be useful to your smug sense of superiority.

The idea that fascists might still be wearing America’s corpse long after it’s dead does not in fact make me feel any better. Honestly, I doubt they’ll be able to keep it together anywhere near that long, but it might last longer than I do, which is bad enough. Not that I much want to be around for the self-destruction, either.

Here’s to hoping that the Democrats can win and keep this country limping along until someone better comes around. At this point that’s the best hope this dumpster fire has left.

Ramen is most commonly sold in sealed plastic bags in America. We just cook it in a pot like any other pasta. Lots of people I know don’t own any kind of kettle. If they need to boil water a pot or the microwave both work just fine.

Personally, I like tea, but I also have an induction cooktop, so I just have a kettle for that. It’s great. All the advantages of an electric kettle without having to put an electrical appliance by my sink.

Honestly, I’ve kind of always wondered why they didn’t just do this. It’s always seemed like the obvious thing to me.

I mean, I hope it doesn’t work, because screw Google, but I’m still surprised it took them this long to try it.

My approval is irrelevant. People do it, and people pay for it, so it deserves all the same respect and rights as any other work. No one’s value comes from my opinion of what they do to pay the bills, and it is not my place to tell people what sex “should” be.

Nobody here is saying that ads are good. We’re saying this disingenuous fascist is only saying these things because he can’t make any money from ads. If he was making ad money he’d be saying exactly the opposite of all this. Fascists don’t have any morals but power for power’s sake. That’s what fascism IS.

At this point I’m starting to think that if you want to subsidize semiconductor manufacturing in the US the Global Foundries might be a better investment. At least they’ve already hit rock bottom.
