Thanks for volunteering!

Ugh! Disgusting source. I’m sorry I didn’t vet that before posting it.

Facts are facts, regardless: "It has also emerged that nefarious activities by USAID were well documented across the globe.

There are reports that USAID built a fake Cuban Twitter platform called ZunZuneo, designed to lure young users and slowly feed them anti-government content to spark protests and was funded in secret through shell companies.

The plan collapsed when exposed in 2014.

USAID was accused of funding regime change in Venezuela after it poured millions into opposition groups trying to overthrow the leaders of that country, President Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

It trained activists, bankrolled anti-government media, and was linked to the failed 2002 coup against President Chávez.

In 2014, USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy poured money into opposition groups and media in Ukraine.

Other countries where it was accused of meddling in political affairs include Bolivia, Haiti and Afghanistan."

You’re right, and anyone from lemmy.world is fucking uninformed (with rare exception).

And the air traffic controllers, and the regulated airspace…

Let’s unbuild all the roads for a fair comparison then.

Guy never says anything negative about the right wing. He’s a “centrist”

International Man of Warcrimes

Citations needed, comrade.

I re-read it that way and I agree. The sudden realization that he was in a class for windshield wipers, attended by actual windshield wipers was quite funny and the point (not belonging) was still conveyed, IMO.

There will be riots. There will be arrests at those riots. Some of them will be sent to Guantanamo Bay.

There’s a rumor that he doesn’t know how to read. He occasionally pantomimes reading, but he doesn’t actually do it. You’ll remember he made a big deal out of teleprompters and reading from scripts in the past. That’s a great way to flip his disability into strong-man rhetoric, isn’t it?

Gosh, I don’t really like t-shirts. Can I get a sticker instead?

Well, you inspired me to answer my own question. Here’s the manual

Now I know where the cameras are. That’s pretty good coverage. The reverse camera is on the tailgate. If it is lowered, the camera is unusable. However, there is a cabin camera that is rear facing. That may provide some coverage to the rear, but might be obscured by things inside. Appears to mostly be for watching the driver’s eyes for inattentiveness, so I don’t know where it is aimed.

I care, you care, and many of us here on lemmy care. We should work on how to coordinate ourselves together rather than try to change minds.

I’ve tried, a lot, to change minds. I started with the most difficult person, and recently a new hire at work is kinda centrist-left and I tried to convince him. No matter whether it’s a nazi you’re talking to (ahem… the first one) or a liberal, minds can only change themselves. They have to want it, you cannot hack their brain and override it.

I gave up, because even the people who are closest to me politically seem to move further to the right when faced with uncomfortable reality. They don’t engage with icky thoughts like “What if police killed an innocent man?”. They rationalize it to keep their comfort zone intact. “Well, if they just followed police instructions…” blissfully unaware of many cases like Daniel Shaver.

You point to an example that breaks their rationalization, and they will diminish it. “Oh that cop made a mistake”. Point to many examples and they suddenly got to go wash their hair. People’s psyche protects them from stress.

And that is the default mindset in this society. Avoidance of discomfort and inconvenience. Fear of the unknown. They want their life to be neat and happy and to all make sense. They don’t appreciate it when someone tries to take that away from them.

Do you think there’s something about people like us that makes us more accepting of challenging our own worldviews? I have some thoughts but I’ve written enough.

You do you.

I have difficulty seeing the exterior cameras on the cybertruck. Where are they located? Are they active at all times?

Where do you go when TAILS doesn’t feel safe anymore?

Sorry, I don’t know anyone who uses WhatsApp.

(This is a lie, for comedy, sometimes known as a joke when not explained, but it has to be explained, because there’s a preponderance of idiots on the internet, hence the meme)

They could skip all that and just pay for it from the THOUSANDS of companies trying to compile a “marketing” dossier on every human alive.

Edit: So that have your data, what do they think the next step is, blackmail? Our government will be throwing you in camps for gay thought crimes soon. What can china do from way over there?
