I wasn’t surprised by this outcome in the least. Nobody with any knowledge of this country’s history or regular interaction with much of the trash that inhabits it should have been either. If you’re still confused, look at the exit poll breakdowns by demographics.

Coked up on ketamine…🤔

Most places in the US are in addition to the bill, it’s just that many people who don’t carry cash, so you can add it to your debit/credit on a separate line, but leaving cash is always an option. Some places that deal with a lot of non-tippers have mandatory gratuity or make it mandatory for groups above a certain size. Either way, I think it’s bullshit that the employees’ wages are not accounted for in menu pricing, and I’m expected to figure it out.

Ya’ll tip over there? I thought the US was the only place with that assbackward practice.

It isn’t that it’s normalized. It is simply that no one can do anything about it. So, they voice their disagreement.

Wtf is that website? It freezes preventing me from scrolling.

Return to sender, please.

It’s common knowledge that the Russian military practices sexual violence internally. They are similar to the English boarding school system in how widespread it is. If this behavior is practiced on their own brethren, why would it not be acceptable to apply it in war? The use of sexual violence as a weapon of war was guaranteed the moment war was declared. If Ukraine is able to maintain its sovereignty, they will need to invest heavily in mitigating the extended effects of this trauma, or they will have widespread societal issues for decades, if not longer.

I think I was blocked from there for daring to say all genocide is bad, and we can criticize democrats. Anyway, I can’t see any comments there. Thank you for posting the link, though.

I agree. I only have shallow knowledge of 40k, but the exploration of the history around the universe was very fascinating. I also think it’s interesting that this issue seems to occur with satire, particularly when involving fascism. It brings to mind starship troopers and the more recent helldivers, how so many miss the point. I can’t help but feel the glorification of the military and military service in many of today’s societies lends itself to this problem. The military is inherently authoritarian, against diversity (including diversity of thought), and intentionally dehumanizes “the enemy” (turns out, it isn’t easy to kill people). Couple this with an image of masculinity that centers around adversity at best, and violence at worst along with so many men who feel they have missed opportunities to meet this standard and you have a recipe for fascists. How do we address this within our society? I don’t have the answers, but we should all be thinking about it.

The article seemed to state this was specifically about mailed ballots. Any source regarding being in line at poll close?

We can stop sending them our tax dollars, seeking then weapons (as dictated by our laws), and stop threatening other countries who attempt to stop this massacre of civilians. How about that?

It is called reading comprehension, which is a component of literacy. I’ll quote myself from the comment before I started pointing out the rampant illiteracy in this thread.

“The fact that I am being made complicit by the realities of the situation I’ve been forced into by the majority in my country (read: white colonizers) really pisses me off.”

In another country… that our tax dollars fund, we supply weapons to, and we implicitly protect with our military and political power. Ok, sure bud. I’m the one arguing in bad faith. 🤡

Bruh, why can’t any of you read. Goddamn.

I didn’t, you just can’t read well.

Why are all of you so fucking illiterate? I am voting for Harris. I’m angry my choice is ANY genocide at all.

I stopped reading that screed after you accused me of privilege. Again, another lemmy illiterate. I am voting for Harris. I’m angry at those with privilege who’ve made this the only choice I have.

Another illiterate. I’m voting for Harris, I’m just angry at the assholes who forced this choice.
