I guess Trump's weekly marching orders chat with Putin doesn't count

Certain things are OK to not have a political opinion on. Example: Taxes are complicated and most people don't understand them; most probably want to pay less of them but do not really need to put their limited political energy to focusing on them.
That applies to most nonpolitical subjects too... most things to have an opinion on like food, movies, music whatever, are generally of little consequence.

Things that affect the base existence of large swaths of the population, aka human rights, are not something a living citizen can admit a "don't care" opinion on. You either want to live free or you don't, and having no opinion on such is how you end up without the legal right to any opinions..

The key to both is to have a complete information stream before forming any opinion or comitting to not having one. I do a nonzero amount of research even before writing a lot of comments here on Lemmy to make sure my facts are straight, and maybe 40% of the time discover it's either not worth my time to write, or I was initially wrong and my comment shouldn't be made.

????? i was talking about car engines? Hyundai's Theta engine series has been cursed with design flaws and horrible machining quality for so many years now that I don't really trust any of their vehicles enough to even consider switching to one.

Listen if I did the Grammer English more gooder, I would have become a writer or a journalist and not an engineer.

Well that one has "accountability" in the name and Trump hates that word.

Now if only they could start building usable engines, it'd be great.

Stopping now would make it worse actually. Russia has retooled for wartime production and is currently running massive government deficit spending for war goods, which is why inflation and interest rates are so high.... if they were to back down, their interest rates would drop, but the bottom falling out of government spending would really crash things because almost every private enterprise is catering to those needs. Putin can't stop now or his country riots in breadlines.

alastor sure knows how to party

 
 

"zomg russian cyber criminals are using free books to fund their lavish lifestyles!!!!!!1!1!!!!1! you should go support ~~corporate rent seeking publishers~~ 'creators' by paying thousands for basic knowledge!!!11"

this shit sounds like it was written by a middle schooler making a history presentation. it's hilarious

 

Dan Osborn has a chance to break Republican control of the senate with an extremely labor-friendly and human rights friendly policy book. He may not be "liberal" liberal but Nebraska is unlikely to ever flip otherwise.

 

Dan Osborn is a strong pro-labor independent candidate who has a legitimately good chance of flipping Nebraska out of the GQP's shitty hands. He's sure not a super liberal, but he isn't going to roll over for corporate interests or corruption either, and I consider that a massive win. Deb Fischer is wildly unpopular and a whopping 23% of voters are still claiming undecided in polls that are otherwise tied- this election HAS A CHANCE. The battle is far from over.

Please check out Dan Osborn (https://osbornforsenate.com/) and consider donating and volunteering for his campaign. He needs every tiny ounce of support he can get in Nebraska, he has no party backing and no major PAC in his corner (he even actively rejected a large donation from George Soros) while Fischer has millions of dollars amassed from every corporate donor you can think of.

 

literally every single question was this lmfao

Ken Paxton is a textbook definition bonafide out-and-out Nazi. Straight up sending the Gestapo to eliminate enemies of the state. He should be removed and jailed for treason, this slimy fucking sack of rotting corpses.
