It will tell you about Grandma’s Töltött Káposzta.

Let us know if it asks for your uneaten peanuts or tries to show you pictures of it’s vacation.

He’ll leave the US completely bankrupt and walk away with the billions he grifted on office.

The point being a person with a few billion will still be able to buy pretty much whatever they want while everyone else struggles.

Not the actual worth of the currency.

And if you’re a rich person it affects your finances essentially zero while hurting consumers far worse.

What was the liquid?

You should actually read the book, or at least that part of the chapter.

Your example isn’t bad. You could go further. 1,000,000 vs 1,000,000,000. Massive difference.

The problem is when we live in a world when we have millions of people with less than $1,000, and others have more than $300,000,000,000.

I’m getting a lot of miles out of Orwell these days.

This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

Just another politician doing the wrong thing and then acting like they didn’t understand it later. Because there aren’t any consequences.

“They don’t believe us? Uh oh, now what do we do?”

I’d be careful with this. The NRA blamed Walz for essentially inciting the shooting. I don’t have much hope that republicans calling for investigations would not try to spin it to blame democratic officials.

The apple is rotten to the core. Taking this sadistic MF out isn’t going to fix anything when they’ve given all the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys badges and paychecks.

You can say whatever you want on social media, they don’t control what you see! - Lemmy, complaining about censored w*rds in social media copypasta here.

Only if you’ve been asleep and ignored the bots, troll farms, social media subversives interested in clicks (paid or otherwise), international interference using the same tools, billionaires pushing the media to tell lies or hide the truth.

What a useless article. We’re already overwhelmed with lies and half-truths. The only thing that’s going to happen is that a few troll farm employees are going to be out of work when they get replaced by AI.

Greater Boston:

More feels before reals. They’ll follow a completely fake person as long as it reinforces their echo chamber.

Being a decent person means you are unwilling to do things you know are going to hurt others, even if they’re assholes. You’ll avoid conflict.

The problem is that assholes have no such restrictions, so they’re just fine with fucking other people over.

And then you have the people that drive past the car crash who just don’t want to deal with it.

So you can have relatively few assholes who can do a lot of damage. I wouldn’t say there are more stupid/evil ones, there are just a large majority unwilling to engage in the actual conflict needed to stop them.
