In many cases on social media the “majority” opinion is crafted by external entities.

Except for Luigi. They couldn’t control that one.

I wonder what percentage of your comments are about pushing people off of LW.

LW mods generally don’t have more than one major community. It’s not a rule, but we have made a bit of an effort to avoid reddit-style supermods.

They can’ literally print money. They don’t even have to print it.

Ironically, it would weaken the dollar enough that the rich would lose money on their tax cuts. So in that sense you’re right. I just don’t want anyone thinking that the government actually needs to find all the money it spends.

You’d have to be watching the speech, ready to react within a minute it two and you could have caught most of it.

DJI with source.

Just search for DJI and go to 1pm on the 9th.

But OP was on SPY.

The budget bill? Things were going to be worse if there was a shutdown that hands more power to the executive.

El Salvador.

Neither will the color of your skin.

That’s part of why everyone should have cared about BLM, even for purely selfish reasons. The cops will kill you if they don’t like you. They have enough room to not like black people AND to not like you.

How much more risk are they really taking if they report a random, white citizen vs a brown green card holder? Neither is legal. Does it matter.

I don’t know why people think they’re safe just because they’re not a minority. Our police problem has spread. Now it’s the cops, ICE, half the judges, and the administration.

And now that would be the reason they didn’t get elected.

It’s an excellent accounting by the person running the country. It’s going better than planned.

Here it is again, a desperate attempt to blame Democrats.

I didn’t believe you. Here’s a source showing you’re right.

The Trump administration calculated the trade deficit using only goods — physical items that can be shipped — and not services, such as technology, media, banking and tourism. (A DVD counts; a Netflix subscription doesn’t.)

I bet Putin and Xi would prefer that to change.

The judge in the New York former mayor Eric Adams case dismissed the charges with prejudice. He gets away with his crimes scott free, but they don’t get to hang them over his head.

wage a war of conquest to secure the entire country

There’s not a large difference between that and a war for secession. Either way it’s violence.

Yeah, it’s hard to notice a 17% dip on a graph. It’ll buff right out.

I know it’s supposed to be a joke. Doesn’t seem worth it.

KIA doesn’t make EV sedans.

If it’s still honored, it would appreciate in value in four years.

If you’re going that far, why wouldn’t you want the other states? Just take over the whole government instead of trying to secede.
