No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?”
131·26 days agoThe last strong left wing politician America had was Huey Long, he was assassinated.
In America, anyone who is left wing, actually willing to do what is necessary to effect change, and who gets vaguely close to power, either has their reputation assassinated or is assassinated more literally.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If WW3 breaks out, what countries are going to be on which side?
22·1 month agoRussia and China being allies is a given. Iran and the DPRK will be on their side too.
Israel, the USA, Japan, and parts of Europe will no doubt be on the opposite side, with the more sensible parts of Europe staying out of it.
India I have no idea, they’re nominally a USA ally, but I could also see them trying to stay neutral.
China world no doubt take the opportunity to reclaim the island of Taiwan.
I imagine a lot of Arab states would try to remain neutral at first, but Israel would probably take the opportunity to invade the rest of Syria, at which point some may be dragged into the conflict.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do .ml users get a bad rep?
81·1 month agoIf you’re on an instance that is widely defederated
Or one that widely defederates.
I believe mander is the only instance that has a policy of only defederating illegal content.
In contrast .world has a huge de-federation list.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
44·2 months agoThe logic I’ve heard is that people think less logically and are more impulsive when disoriented.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning?
41·2 months agoThis one’s easy, Warhammer 40k, and all the nonsense about primaris and guilliman returning.
They support liberalism, not leftism.
They like making a big deal out of their tokenistic support of LGBT/BIPOC/etc, to distract from them trampling over workers rights.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?
381·3 months agoIt’s basic SEO slop logic applied to video.
All the popular topics are already crowded, so you shotgun very specific search terms in the hope of capturing the majority of people searching for that term because nobody else has anything on it.
For instance, if you have a web shop selling fish equipment, “how to keep fish” is probably extremely crowded, so you would target a bunch of specific search terms like “how to teach crabs to read classical Latin”
