Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
 
  1. Even dickheads love their dogs. Find a way to connect to those you disagree with. “The obvious mistakes of those who find themselves in opposition are to break off relations with those who disagree with you,” texts Vera Krichevskaya, the co-founder of TV Rain, Russia’s last independent TV station. “You cannot allow anger and narrow your circle.”

  2. Pay in cash. Ask yourself what an international drug trafficker would do, and do that.

He’s thinking about flying a SpaceX rocket to Mars and raping and pillaging its rare earth minerals before anyone else can get there. We need a 30-year road map out of this.

  1. Take the piss. Humour is a weapon. Any man who feels the need to build a rocket is not overconfident about his masculinity. Work with that.

Assuming his stance wasn’t antivax, it could be argued that he could have done much more with his platform to push for vaccine adoption

Oh absolutely, but it's also pretty clear as why he didn't. He wanted the votes from the anti-vaxx/mask people too so being ambiquous about that is just a political game tactic. It's quite similar to how Kamala didn't seem to want to take a clear stance on Israel or the border situation for example because doing so would likely alienate a large part of her base.

True, the difference i suppose is the body count, both location and volume.

Gonna be hard to calculate those numbers though.
