AmidFuror , in More than 90% of chickenpox cases in New York City outbreak among unvaccinated people

Shocking finding! /s

TokenBoomer , in Miss Universe co-owner says trans women "cannot win" the pageant

They’ve probably already had a trans winner, they just didn’t know it.

samus12345 , in NBC News: Over 150 Russian fake news sites linked to former Florida deputy sheriff, report finds
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Read that as “NBC Jews:” at first. Too much Israel in the news lately, I guess.

AncientFutureNow , in CEO Who Tanked Company's Stock By 20% Reveals 5-Point $700m Plan To Save Cracker Barrel

fuck em. let’s get some real news.

derrickoswald , in Global sales of polluting SUVs hit record high in 2023, data shows

This is 100% a China and US problem - nowhere else in the world would these Wankpanzers be a status symbol. What’s required is a re-education of the Nouveau Riche to make a better choice.

VerticaGG , in Incumbent Democrat Who Voted to Ban Gender-Affirming Care in Texas Loses Primary

Thag’s rich conzidering Queerphobic, Racist Comstock laws. Literally projection.

Between these two episodes (i think these are the relevant entries, may be more) the realities, contrast to this politician’s disinformation, are explored in depth:

1: Death Panel Podcast: Statues of Limitations m.soundcloud.com/…/teaser-statutes-of-limitation-…m.soundcloud.com/…/statutes-of-limitation-w-melis…I’ll edit in a quote/excerpt which iirc is what we should be doing rather than having to be getting caught up debunking disinformation from bad-faith actors like the incumbent

ynazuma , in Israeli campaign against ICC may be ‘crimes against justice’, say legal experts

The lessons of WW2 were learned differently by Zionists. They have decided to emulate their tormentors

werefreeatlast , in A year after Titan sub implosion, an Ohio billionaire says he wants to make his own voyage to Titanic wreckage

Hey. me too! I started tests using rocks. I figure, if a rock attached with a string can reach the bottom, then I should be able to go inside a larger rock and reach the bottom too!

werefreeatlast ,

With a string around the rock, ofcourse. I’m not crazy!

quindraco , in Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds

I wish I lived in your world. I’ve had 3 rejections specifically because I asked for permission to kiss.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Wow. Three whole rejections.

Might as well give up now and become a monk.

quindraco ,

Or, you know, give women what they are literally telling me they want, which is what I did.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but only three times and then you give up?

quindraco ,

Of course not. It was only three times where the problem was asking for consent to kiss, not only three times for consent period. My consent rejection list is considerably longer than 3.

Didn’t I see you in those threads about the women choosing bears over men supporting the idea of men listening when women tell men they need to change their behaviour? Why are you now attacking me for doing it?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Believe it or not, suggesting you need to try harder when your post suggests you’ve only tried three times is not an attack.

jjjalljs ,

You revealed rejection, almost certainly did not create it by asking.

quindraco ,

You are free to assume they lied to me.

jjjalljs ,

Are you saying that they would have kissed you if you had just gone for it, but because you asked they said no?

I’ve met two people like that that I can remember, and I’m pretty sure not dating them was dodging some bullets.

But it’s also very likely that if you had just gone for it, they would have awkwardly moved out of the way.

quindraco ,

I am saying they claimed that. I have no more knowledge than you do if they were telling the truth.

Crashumbc ,

Humans lie, constantly. Especially in a situation like that. People will almost always say what ever they think will get them out of the situation with least conflict.

There is always going to be"that" person that has weird issues. But I would find it difficult to believe if they wanted to kiss you, asking would be a “show stopper” in most cases.

@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

You dodged three bullets, bro. If a woman gets turned off by asking then she's either not into you or she wants you to chase her, and both should be deal-breakers.

cosmicrookie , in Poland unveils details of €2.4bn fortification of eastern borders
@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

Why would they make this public though? Wouldn’t it be best to let them find out the hard way if they ever tried?

Or is this maybe so me sort of disinformation to cover up even more complex defenses?

bitwaba ,

It’s not disinformation, but it is partial information. They’re revealing enough information about their defense plans to make it clear that any invasion attempt on Poland will be costly. Russia does not have limitless resources. If they think they have enough resources to fight a war on two fronts, then it is in Poland’s best interest to both bolster their defenses, and let the enemy know they’ve bolstered those defenses in hopes that it changes the war cost equation enough for Russia to realize it is not favorable decision anymore.

It’s the geopolitical equivalent of finding out there’s been multiple breaking and enterings in your neighborhood recently, so you go out and buy a gun and place a “this house defended by Smith & Wesson” sign out front. You don’t tell them where in the house the gun is. You just give enough information for them to rethink their choice. The goal isn’t to defeat the burglar. The goal is to not get broken into.

Revonult ,

It’s not like they are advertising specific mine placement. They showed pictures about trenches, anti-vehicles barriers, gates, etc. This stuff isn’t hidden, a guy with a camera at the border could spot everything, let alone aerial or satellite imagery. It’s about hardening the border and slowing down invaders. Then you layer it with more complex defense systems to support the static defense.

Also, there’s a cost to keeping things secret in general. If you rely on something being a surprise, that’s one thing, but…

bradorsomething , in Judgment day looms for Donald Trump in New York | CNN Politics

Can you imagine trump in a terminator movie?

suction ,

If they make Terminator vs. Predator, he’d be a natural fit for the Predator given he likes to rape minors.

Varyk , in Gangs mix another potent sedative into U.S. street drugs causing 'mass overdoses'

Weird use of quotes for something that is not a euphemism

Dewe ,

Hmmm maybe there is another use for quotes… Like when someone has said something and you’re conveying exactly what they said. A ‘quote’ of sorts.

Varyk , (edited )

Less conventional ‘use’ of single quotes by NPR, doesn’t make much sense!

Sam_Bass , in Donald Trump Says He'll Stop All Electric Car Sales (Update: He Was Talking About Made-In-Mexico Chinese EVs)

He gets fuller of shit by the day

This is why you should not go to or work for private universities unless your family is rich.
