Misinterpreting the exaggerated proposal as a genuine endorsement of border changes is a fundamental misunderstanding of satire. The intent is to ridicule the absurdity of the idea, not to promote it. It’s ridiculous to suggest that a hyperbolic comment meant to expose flawed logic could be seen as support for actual policy revisions.

Humour can disarm tyranny; when policies are mocked, their illogical foundations become obvious.

Great but let’s not get complacent. The only Poll that matters is the election

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

I am wanting OP to post the source if they’re posting social media screenshots as the vast majority of people won’t verify the post. It’s also possible that a post gets deleted so providing a link lets folks use tools like way back machine to verify in the future. We should require this level of posts hygiene, especially during an election cycle. I’m trying to teach an OP to fish instead of just looking up the source for them.

But to be clear, I am a dumbass for many other reasons.

This isn’t helpful, my post was aimed at OP and calling them out for posting a social media screenshot post without a source. This is especially dangerous during an election.

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the link. Posting a screenshot without a source is lazy and dangerous. It’s unlike that the majority of folks that upvoted this post did any due diligence? It’s more likely that they upvoted because it matched their existing beliefs which just sets this community up for manipulation. We need to do better, especially during an election.

I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m calling OP out for being lazy. And granted I did not articulate that well at all in my “Source?” comment, so you were right to question my motives 👍

It depends what country they are in

Debian is a decent Ubuntu based OS 🫳🎤

I’m English born, grew up in Australia, and I am now a naturalized Canadian. If someone said they were British I wouldn’t think they were referring to ethnicity. The US has a unique and unhealthy perspective on ethnicity and race. I hope that a naturalized immigrant to the UK would consider themselves British.

Trump should know better, he was alive in 1812 but he was probably dodging the draft back then too

Now I can't unsee it!

 

We haven't seen the mangy fox since the successful treatment. We left a feeding out the night after his treatment but a horde of raccoons found it. We left out more food the last night and today we saw one of the healthy foxes marking their territory around the feeding area. This explains why we haven't seen the mangy fox around for the last few days. Hopefully our previous feedings will keep the mangy fox nourished while the medication takes affect. We'll keep an eye out for it and the neighbours know to keep a lookout too.

 

I used to be fit, running, cycling, partner acrobatics, etc. But I have done very little cardio, strength, or flexibility training since our wonderful daughter came along. She doesn't sleep well so part of the problem is energy. But the main issue is finding time. My partner and I both work remotely, I have a 08:00-16:30 tech job and my partner teaches music online in the evenings. So I'm either working, playing with my daughter, or exhausted. I'm not complaining, I love my life and being a dad. I want to stay fit and healthy so I can be my daughter's father for as long as possible. I also don't want to be hard on myself, I know these toddler years will fly past if I'm not mindful. How do other parents maintain fitness? We don't have any extended family close.
