I don’t know. Lemmy’s majority user is former reddit users and even at the size reddit is now, sarcasm would constantly go over peoples’ heads

Is there any links to Israel specifically though? Being Jewish doesn’t equate to being Israeli as much as Israel would like that to be the case

Not American nor am I lacking my own doctor but I generally choose to see a specific NP at my clinic over my doctor since she’s able to do everything I’d need my doctor for as well as actually caring to look into my health issues. I went over a decade with crippling digestive issues that I complained about constantly to my doctor but it was always dismissed as anxiety related. It was only the NP who actually cared to get me checked for celiac disease

Not exactly that related of a tangent but just wanted to say bless nurse practitioners 🫡

I’m not sure we’re talking about the same people here. I’d hesitantly lend more sympathy to an American soldier more broadly fighting in this war but not to those who directly commit war crimes whether that be shooting (and worse) children or knowingly dropping bombs on schools or hospitals.

Anyone who doesn’t immediately know that’s wrong has something severely wrong with them

edit: and also yeah, regarding your point about Canada doesn’t really change anything. I’d feel exactly the same way regarding any Canadian soldier doing the same thing. While Canada is feeling quite nice right now compared to the USA, we’ve done and continue to do some absolutely vile shit, no question

Have you actually read into some of the shit Americans have done? I wouldn’t even want to fucking cooperate with anyone who took part in the My Lai massacre or anything else like that.

To copy/paste from Wikipedia:

The Mỹ Lai Massacre […] was a United States war crime committed on 16 March 1968, involving the mass murder of unarmed civilians in Sơn Mỹ village, Quảng Ngãi province, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. At least 347 and up to 504 civilians, almost all women, children and elderly men, were murdered by U.S. Army soldiers. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, and some soldiers mutilated and raped children as young as 12.

(emphasis mine)

edit: oh and the most justice that came of that was that one person got house arrest for three years

If they participated in any of these events and it took them years to figure out that it was wrong then I highly doubt they’d vote for anything other than MAGA anyway

They’ve actually been doing all of that. Iran’s killing it with their propaganda and I love it

Yeah, like where else would the LLMs pick it up?

I just wish it wasn’t all American politics. Like American politics is just shoved into evert random niche community even if its not even remotely relevant

I stumbled onto her real name and can say that she’s alive and the gore pictures were fake (I was bored and a bit drunk)

Yeah, I guess that’s what you get when you have a city with a disproportionate amount of politically involved citizens lol

Yeah that Canadian flag looks a little off

I really hate living in Ontario sometimes… it really seems like we should be better than this

As a Canadian I’d really rather US Americans were not aware of us at this point in time

Cube3 wasn’t too bad! Definitely a little silly though

For real. I legit can’t think of anywhere that doesn’t do Interac at least in Ontario/Quebec

Ah, that’s actually what I was thinking of in my previous comment

For sure and I agree that should be enough but the average person is not good with computers and they don’t want to learn. They won’t understand the nuances of different distributions of Linux. Like try explaining the difference between a .deb, a .tar.gz, and a .rpm to a person who’s already hésitent about using Linux. Flatpak solves that by just having one download that any Linux install can use
