It prolly would have also happened with any other president, maybe just not that excessively. Billionaires will always have their way.

This kinda shit only works because there are enough dumb people who do it. Same with how streaming providers can get away with enshittifying their services and rasing their prices. Or why lootboxes in video games are so prevalent. And many other things in life. A big chunk of people are akin to mindless NPCs that just do whatever their programmers (=billionaires) tell them to. NOT consuming is simply not an option to them. Like cancelling their streaming subscription because it got enshittified the the tenth time this year. No they just keep going. It always takes two to tango.

Are those 9 cents worth of candy in the room for us?

No for real, hasn’t candy, like anything else, become expensive?

It’s not about this being an insult. It’s about the sudden realization that one has become a grown-up / “old” as in not being a child anymore

Or the cum drawer

That was the original meaning. It got changed at some point.

Nice to see that Kanzi is ranked so highly. It is the best available apple in german stores.

Don’t underestimate Trumps stupidity. He will cut off access if he decides to, even if it ends up hurting the US more than Europe. This mf is irrational.

What legitimate pressure are you talking about? Europe can’t afford to antagonize the US too much, since we are still hugely dependend on their digital services, like Microsoft and Windows. The US could cut us off and our governments and enterprises would be fucked, cos switching to Open Source Alternatives takes time.

That was just dumb of you. Putting so much weight into just a number. Throwing away a potentially good relationship just cos of a number. Guess she dodged a bullet.

This mf is a trillionaire. Half a billion is 0.05% of his wealth.

Trump still has an approval rating of 30%. And those mfs are in favor of everything Trump does, including siding with Russia.

It’s not just one buildung; it’s stores, cars from ordinary citizens, public infrastructure like bus stations, etc. Do y’all really think this is necessary and good and helps the actual cause? Cos it LITERALLY does the opposite. Who tf do y’all think has to pay for reconstruction of all the public infrastructure? Exactly, the taxpayers. Money that could actually be used to address the original problems.

Bloody hell y’all are lost af. So if the rioters would destroy your car/house/whatever you would still say “nice, that helps the cause, I like sacrificing my private property and possessions I worked hard for for no fckn reason”.

I literally can’t understand how y’all can approve this haphazard violence and destruction.

I kinda could understand it if the rich were affected by those riots, like if their private yachts/planes/mansions where the target, but they are not. So literally the only people who are suffering are the ordinary citizens.

I believe the famous Nile Red on YouTube has made exactly such a video

Wine glass

Communism gives you a 10 year wait for a car lol. And that’s only if the authoritarian government in charge deems you worthy of it and you didn’t do anything that might offend them. Just look at the DDR (former eastern germany). Communism there worked well. NOT.

Were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by arbitrarily destroying public and private property and lootings like the world is about go down?

Seriously the lack of condemnation of the haphazard violence and destruction here on Lemmy is utterly appalling.

Wtf no?? I’m not condemning the peaceful protestors, I am only condemning those who riot and loot; those people have no interest whatsoever in the actual cause. They use those protests solely as a pretence for looting.

Jesus Christ, the extrapolation y’all guys on Lemmy do is really its very own form of insanity. Y’all really can only think in black and whites, as in two polar opposites where no middleground exists.

Literal terrorists. But people here on Lemmy still see those looters and rioters as heroes. Absolutely beyond me. They destroy public and private properties of normal people and yet people here on Lemmy celebrate those deeds. Absolutely revolting. Wonder whether y’all still would be cheering if it were ur store or car or whatever that got destroyed by those “protestors”. No mercy against those lawless rioters.

This might be, but I believe u often have no choice. Either accept the terms or u don’t get the house. And with the housing market being absolutely shitty, I believe many people have no choice but to accept those terms, cos the alternative would mean getting no home at all.
