  • Americans are weird. Four years ago, Trump lost the election and he was dumped from Twitter in a heartbeat. Enters Musk and buys Twitter, baptizes it as X. Somehow, Musk achieved the unachievable. No, he didn’t make Twitter profitable, he makes it even shittier. Trump gets back to X. Presidential elections happen. Trump wins in a landslide. Bluesky arises. Now Democrats have their own social media club and Republicans, conservative minds, stay in X. Really, if the USA won’t change their electoral system it could separate into two or three different countries at this point.

    Except, for now, they will unite against Mexico, Iran and China.


  • It’s weird. In general, in the greentext community I just reply something stupid and move on. You guys are commenting what seems serious, at the same time there are a lot of people commenting about how we should have gone nuclear, etc. Now, I don’t know if you’re being serious or you are trolling as I would with a less apocalyptic topic.

    There, feels like I made it.





  • BTW, and now that we are doing this, dandruff is not a sign of lack of hygiene. It is a common symptom of skin conditions like dermatitis. I don’t like to recommend subreddits in Lemmy, but take a look at r/sebderm and read a couple of threads there. Fortunately, most people don’t know it, but a chronical skin condition can get you suicidal.








  • You are kidding me, right? The video was uploaded by a pro-Ukraine influencer in X of all places. Newsweek reports it and suddenly it’s taken in this community as the truth? I’m not saying it’s fake either. Just saying, it’s easy for someone in Ukraine to look like a Russian soldier making up some story about how stupid North Korean soldiers are in the front.

    And even if the guy was a Russian soldier, under torture anyone would say anything, even something as lousy as “NK soldiers can’t comprehend left and right”.






  • They are forced. They fight against the Ukrainian Army for their survival, because being drafted means they will probably die at this point. If they could keep avoiding the army, they would probably survive until this madness ends.

    You can have your side on this and think Ukraine is fighting for survival, but that’s a point of view, an idea. Some facts are:

    1. Ukraine is currently loosing this war. It’s even territorial.
    2. Ukraine is loosing support from their allies. And if Trump wins, which is somehow plausible, they’d be practically alone.
    3. Recently drafted citizens are just that, they are not soldiers. With their morale, they probably aren’t even fighters.
    4. A good chunk of the remaining Ukrainian people don’t want to fight no more.
    5. Drafting more inexperienced citizens will at best slow down the course of the current events.
