Just a few days ago neo nazis openly marched in Ohio. Now the KKK is spreading flyers. I guess this is how you own the woke libs.

Gonna be a long 4 years. Remember America, this is what you wanted.

Can Trump do a deal with Putin on Ukraine? in c/politics@lemmy.world

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

TBD. Trump has praised Putin (and other dictators) on several occasions. Trump has said he's okay with Putin (or other countries) invading NATO countries, and he wouldn't step in. After his election win, his son stated it would be the end of Ukraine's "allowance" from the US - a disgusting remark.

Trump is a pathological liar. Even if he tells us what he'll do, we won't know what he'll do.

Trump is a narcissist. If you praise him and stroke his ego, he'll be more likely to do what you want. It's not hyperbolic to say that Trump's position could be influenced if Putin offered Trump some beachfront property in Russia to develop a resort.

Scoop: Asian Americans fear hate crimes are rising in c/politics@lemmy.world

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

What a bizarre article.

But their fear is justified. Lots of hate in the US and world. Recent election has already emboldened many hateful people.

How do you know you aren't smart? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

I'm likely average, middle of the road intelligence. Smart enough to get by and dumb enough not to excel at anything. I know a little about a lot of things and not a lot about one thing.

White poppy campaign recognizes all victims of war in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Such a silly thing. I look forward to the day we judge each other based on the poppies we wear.

"White Poppy? Oh you're one of those woke veteran haters."

"Just a red poppy?? Wow didn't realize you were a racist."

Politicians will rejoice as they discover yet another silly non-issue to argue about.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren says TD executives were let off easy in money laundering settlement in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 15 points 7 months ago

Of course they were. That's one of the reasons behind why they did it and will continue to do it. Since when are executives ever held criminally accountable.

What are some downsides to immortality that most don't think of? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] Octospider@lemm.ee 59 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Depends on the type of immorality. Do you continue to age? If no, what age do you stop? Eventually the universe will die. So what happens to you then?

It might be fun for a while. Maybe even a long while. But that fun will be gone in an instant compared to the trillions and trillions of years you will float in a dark dying universe of nothing.
