I remembered the american billions, I remembered to use the currency symbol before the number. But it was finally the simple point, instead of a comma, which defeated me.

I think that would average between $5.000 and $3.000 per undocumented immigrant.

The beatings will continue until moral improves.

Ok, that is kind of clever.

Though I suppose even the dumbest user will chicken out once the terminal pops out.

Maybe Magneto is worthy. He is trying to save his people from discrimination after all.

The image clearly tries to make see like not a single building is left. It’s the intention of this images.

I’m pretty sure there’s a noble intention behind this, but it is misleading, it is propagandistic.

I will provide you a true comparison, similar lightning, similar time of the year. From september 2023 to september 2024. You’ll clearly see the destruction. It’s nothing shy. There’s a lot of destruction. But my images will not exaggerate reality.

There you don’t have to really look into what buildings are still up or not, as it is quite evident in the images what was destroyed to the ground. Even with far worse resolution the portrayal of reality is, IMO, infinity better. And the fact that in 5 minutes, with public resources and from my phone I can create this image that is less propagandistic that the image of the post, is, again IMHO, another evidence on why the image from the post have a higher propagandistic value that informative value.

I’m not saying area was not bombarded. I’m saying the election of that specific picture, time of day without shadows and just after a sandstorm, is made on purpose to exaggerate.

Without supporting any kind of violence. And without denying anything.

I feel obligated to say that this is purposely manipulated. As pictures taken in very different times of day and year make for a faulty comparison that does not portrait reallity.

Specially the time of day (that make shadows disappear on the right picture) and the sandy surfaces make it seems like the image on the right it’s all flat and that buildings are leveled to the ground. And that’s simply not true. It’s just optical illusions.

This does not mean that the areas was not subjected to heavy bombardment, and that all people on that area may have been killed by bombs. But the images presented are just manipulative and I’m against media manipulation no matter how good intentions are behind the manipulative attempt.

You should trust information that has verificable independent source.

It’s not like in order not to like CIA you have to become a Taliban sympathizer.

As said by Taliban minister.

Take its veracity with a grain of salt.

Not really.

Firstly they never said that they would turn him to the US. They said that they would turn him to a third country. And only if irrefutable evidence of his guilt were to be provided. And they said that the only would turn Bin Laden, not any other AlQaeda members.

Algo this happened after they US started the bombings. Before the US attacked the Talibans refused to even talk about it. And they would probably just tried to make time to start a truce until Bin Laden left the country.

So it was actually a fake proposal and only after their previous refusal started the bombings on Afghanistan.

I’m operating on the not so ignorant notion than the Taliban supported Al-Qaeda and its ways for decades, becoming a safe haven for Bin Laden and other terrorists.

They had no issues with terrorism and supported the use of terrorism against the infidels.

Being also targeted by other islamist terrorists doesn’t clean their history with support of international terrorism.

Why rely on google which is going down on reliability so quickly.

What we need is a GOOD lemmy based search engine. Which I think is entirely possible with current lemmy implementation.

Counteroffer. We eliminate copyright laws all together. For anyone and everyone.

Let move to a system in which we found the projects before their release. And once released they are available to everyone for free.

Also let’s make a system where everyone can work a basic work like 20-30 hours a week and get a living wage and the rest of the time we can just produce art of any kind of thing for free to anyone as we’ll already had our needs covered and we won’t have the need to monetize every second of out existence.

Instance picking can be overwhelming. Making people just not even try it.

I do think a big challenge for the fediverse is how to ease that. And make it like e-mail where @whocares is not that important and it’s easy to actually have a custom domain/instance.

And, of course, to achieve this instance admins should be really be responsible with defederations and bans. And only use it as last resort, probably only because of legal reasons. Not because “I don’t like that instance admins main political thesis”. Probably that kind of blocks are better to be left to the user.

I have: 14 fixed holidays. 31 vacation days. 35 hours workweek. Summertime hours reduction (from 35 to 32 hours).

Fight for it, and force your countries and employers to apply those conditions, because I assure you, they are good.

I don’t find .ml specially toxic or shitty. I certainly hasn’t been called “asshole” by any .ml user or in any .ml space recently. Couldn’t say the same for other instances… There are wonderful people everywhere, and sadly bad people everywhere too. As far as .ml .world or any other of these big instances I don’t appreciate any more toxicity in one place or other.

Ok. Thanks for actually insulting me. Hope you are proud of your words.

I will still keep doing all that’s in my hand to improve your live. Assuming you are working class.

Got any more names to call me? I’ve already got called tankie apologist, appeaser, anything else?. You have lots of names for those who think different than you. Also lots of hate, sorry for that.

You choose your allies. But don’t deny people working for the betterment of the working clase the name of leftists, please.

Edit: I just realized that by liberals you probably mean American liberals, democratic party and such?, not economic liberals? It can be confusing from people elsewhere. Anyway, american “liberals” let’s say the democratic party is cool in my book. Afaik also working for the betterment of their people. But not American so people over there may have a better understanding of those. Where I live the equivalent would probably be the socdems, which are of course allies of mine.

I feel no need to side between (american)liberals and communists. If some of those refuse each other it is their problem, I would consider both part of the left spectrum and be willing to work with each.

Non American Lemmies:

Guess I’ll die.
