Yeah fuck that. We already have enough problems with Turkey as part of NATO. We don’t need another belligerent state that literally only going to cause problems.

And it’s not even like Argentina provides some utility like Turkey does by being so close to Russia and controlling the black sea. Argentina has no real strategic value, has an absolutely dogshit military and is more likely to go to war with a NATO country (again) then do anything to defend one.

Let them rot.

Tell me how I’m wrong then… ill wait.

Lmao typical cop-out from someone being called out on their bullshit.

gmtom ,

Fair, but it’s not like Turkey isn’t fucking around as well, especially with the Kurds and Syria and, ya know, fucking invading Cyprus.

gmtom ,

Lmao always a good day when you litterally just ask someone for an explanation beyond “no ur wrong” and it makes them so upset that they block you.

gmtom OP ,

are you American?

gmtom OP ,

The less people that know about Swindon the better.

gmtom OP ,

They’re not two different continents thought?

gmtom OP ,

Yes Eurasia is 1 continent too, arguably it should be afroeurasia as well.

gmtom OP ,

?? Plates dont equal continents? Or do you think Turkey is its own continent? And the east coast of Africa is a seperate continent to the rest of Africa?

gmtom ,

The American mind cannot comprehend trains.

My town had Cedric aka “Ceddars” who was just a typical slightly crazy homeless man, but allegedly he was actually rich and people claimed that sometimes when he was done begging a Bentley would pull up to take him home.

gmtom ,

No you misunderstand, that pill just makes a loud noise go off in a retirement home.

Wouldn’t want someone to think you’re antisemitic would you?

For good brutalised, look at the Barbican or Habitat 67

Conservatives would never agree to this. Even if it’d objectively the right thing to do.

gmtom ,

I’ve heard the 5 senses justified in that they are the 5 “external” senses and the rest are about internal sensing like your sense of hunger. It’s still a bit of a reach but much better than the pure classical view.

gmtom ,

Sorry ukraine. The republicans want you dead and the war has been going on too long to stay inside the attention span of the average person, so they don’t care anymore.

gmtom ,

Oi, this is slander, we might be one of the most awful places in the country, responsible for giving the world Doncaster, Grimsby and Scunthrope, but were not Norfolk.

gmtom ,

I fucking love giving oral. Like 100% legit would rather give oral than receive and when its with the right person giving oral is better than 90% of sex.

gmtom ,

Please I hope to god you are a bot or a troll farm account. For the sake of my own sanity I refuse to believe anyone is actually stupid enough to believe this.

Like yeah Russia invading an independent country and US ally unprovoked, and China making imperialist claims to the South China Sea, building islands for military bases there and building up their military to invade Taiwan, are not to blame at all for the potential upcoming war. Nonono its all Joe Bidens fault for providing weapons to Ukraine and continuing the US’ decades long unconditional support for Israel. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

This comment, but it’s left on a video of a nightcore remix of someone burping the tune to a nickleback song.

Does the gms version suck down battery % like microg does?

gmtom ,

No, we literally could not care less.

I mean, I’m as anti-corporation as the next sane person, but it’s not like this is just a gift to Samsung.

This is just a small part of the total costs for building This facility, which is going to be absolutely massive, and the vast majority of the money is coming from the private sector. In return the US gets and incredibly important resource that makes it less dependant of countries in East Asia that are either hostile to them or are at risk of having their facilities disobeyed by those that are.

That alone is worth fare more than 6bn, and doesn’t even begin to mention the economic benefits of such an endeavour.

gmtom ,

$1.4 mil is probably not enough for someone to retire unless they were only a decade away from retirement anyway. And let’s say one of these workers has a 30 year career at this factory that’s only $46k/year, which isn’t a lot, especially for a skilled worker. So if we assume and average wage for these jobs is $80k (probably an underestimate) then that’s only 17.5 years before Samsung pays put more to employees than it got from the government, and realistically these factories will be operating for many decades if all goes well.

And that’s ignoring both the construction jobs and the downstream jobs that would be needed to support 4.5k workers. As well as the money the government will make back on various taxes from both income and manufacturing and savings from procuring chips locally instead of shipping them.

And also massively ignoring the importance of domestic chip manufacturing which given the current state of things and potential future conflict could legitimately be the difference between that stops NATO losing a war with China. Which is the main thing this project is about and is worth so so so much more than 6bn

gmtom ,

Except the most important point, which is to have domestic chip production facilities for the DoD.

gmtom ,

I dont use twitter so I never understood the CSAM stuff. Did you follow accounts that post it or between it? Or does twitter have like a tiktok style for you page now and you get it recommended to you?

gmtom ,

Since relativity tells us there is no universal reference frame, then it having its reference tied to earth is perfectly valid.

Also sidenote: my favourite idea about time travel is that time travel is entirely possible, but will never be invented, because the timeline where its not invented is the only stable timeline. Because any timeline where it IS invented gets changed as soon as you use it, meaning the timeline changes over and over again every time time travel is invented repeatedly either infinitely or until someone accidentally creates a timeline where its never invented, only then does the timeline stop changing and we can actually experience it. So because we exist and can experience time, we can deduce that we will never invent time travel.

If you just put “democracy” in quotes, then suddenly I agree with him

gmtom ,

Ours is “People Experience” now

gmtom ,

Okay, now bring up stats for what percentage of Israelis support zionism.

gmtom ,

But i guarantee it will not shut them up,

You are correct. This has been a thing in the UK where self contained toilets are quite common and the transphobes just make up some shit about how if they let men in use the same ones as women, then they can sneak hidden cameras in there. So they have tried to force places that have always used these toilets, for practical reasons, not even inclusively reasons, to designate seperate male and female toilets.

Yes, and Banners too, banners are the true way to measure a lemmy user.

That’s because communism was never supposed to be a thing you just implement and was never meant to exist alongside other ideologies.

Communism as first described by Marx and then later expanded upon by other theorists is merely the inevitable outcome of a global society that has overcome scarcity, moved away from late stage capitalism and values things like workers rights, equality and standards of living.

The biggest divide between communists is usually how we get to that end state. Do you try to ignite a global violent revolution against capitalism, seize the means of production by force and then use dictatorial power to try and force society towards it, like the Soviets did? Or should we make incremental changes over time though existing Democratic channels like democratic socialists? Or do you seize the power for yourself, run the country like a monarchy and claim you’ve achieved communism?

1/3 centilitre? So 3.333ml bottles? You drink only 13ml of water a day?

gmtom ,

So how do you measure, let’s say, chicken breast with a cup?

gmtom ,

If you’re tracking hoe much you eat (which you should do) you’ll need to measure how much chicken you’re eating.

Also I regularly cut chicken breasts in half so I can have 1.5 pieces to make 2 meals with roughly 190g of chicken each.

gmtom ,

I’m gonna be honest, being anal about exactly how much chicken I eat sounds like a miserable time

Mate. You think taking 15 seconds to place your chicken on a scales is misery? Seriously? Or are you just coming up with justifications to support the way you currently do things?

without leaving awkward amounts of food trimmed off

Again, literally nobody is saying you should trim bits of chicken off, just that you should know how much you’re eating so you can track calories and macro nutrients. Which is super easy especially if you’re already weighing out carbs or other food.

Kyle on the right there is carrying some serious emotional trauma from the things he’s done to hyde dip from his parents.

Do you think they waited to get married before they had sex or do you think that when they got married that’s when they got real weird with it?
