Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.

This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.

I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.

If the people to be gained are like you no fucking thank you. Keep your goddamn opinions to yourself.

Yeah, that’s why I found his inclusion odd. There are a plethora of better choices of actually femboys who dress and act like girls uncoerced.

Hashtags are a Twitter invention and Lemmy is a decentralized reddit clone and reddit doesn’t use hashtags so no.

You just described 4chan.

Leto II???

This guy’s actual problem isn’t that his property taxes have gone way up. His problem is that his income, that is say social security, has not kept pace with the inflated cost of property taxes. And of course it hasn’t kept up with any of the other inflationary costs we are dealing with today as well. And this is something that has hit everyone else because the average wage has not kept up with inflation either.

Has nothing to do with “uprooting families”. Average American families are not the ones grossly overestimating the values of their property. It’s people like Trump who use overestimated values on their properties in order to hide money and grift people into paying him more than properties are actually worth. And then readjusting to actual values, or lower, in order to dodge taxes.

Edit: my reply was not an endorsement of OP’s property assessment plan. I was only speaking to our frustration with the rich who hoard wealth in the form of land and use overinflated valuations of their property to increase their wealth at the expense of everyone else. And even though OP’s idea is flawed there is merit in the idea of altering the way property value is determined.

These are hot dogs not thought crimes.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!

That’s beginning to wane. The fewer major posters there are, the fewer people will look to the site for information. And the fewer people on there looking for info…etc.

Those replies are why they are leaving. And good riddance to such a godawful platform.

Assange and Snowden are not journalists. Snowden was a researcher who leaked government documents detailing how the government was surveiling its own citizens. Which was published in a western-based newspaper outlet. And Julian Assange is a complicated issue. The government’s after him are absolute assholes but you also weren’t censored from finding out what was done to him. And in the end he basically got a slap on the wrist. Not to mention that he himself is quite an asshole. Just listen to anybody who’s ever met the guy in person.

And neither of these people have disappeared into the dark. They make regular appearances and are reported on by Western media outlets fairly often.

And I love how you cite social media as some kind of free press. Like 90% of it’s not owned by oligarchs who have one agenda and that is to gather up every ounce of money and power they can get their hands on. That’s why they let misinformation run rampant on their own sites. Obfuscation is the best way to counter truth.

Oh so you can only find it on the open web where anything can be published and there’s nothing to back up anything and not on the actual site that it’s supposed to come from because we can’t trust that site which is where the information originally supposed to have come from.

And you’re saying I’m the unhinged one. 😂

Thank you, I needed a good laugh today. 😂

I actually tried searching Wikileaks itself in that exact date range. And nothing came up.

It’s almost like somebody made some shit up and then published it only to take it down when it was discovered it was all bullshit. Since the only place you can find this is on the bloody wayback machine.

Okay even if those so-called cables are not completely manufactured they don’t prove anything at all. And that second article is a joke. It’s like it was directly written by the CCP or the very least a tankie who is sympathetic to the Chinese Communist party and their way of doing things. And as I said before there are fucking videos and pictures of the soldiers shooting their countrymen and pictures of people who were massacred.

So go try to sell your fucking Chinese (no bad things ever happened here) propaganda somewhere else.

It’s funny how I can’t seem to find these so-called “leaked us cables” on Wikileaks at all and that article has no links.

It’s almost like it was created by some agency to misinform the public.
