If they want to ban flavored vapes, they're not "anti-smoking" groups - they're anti-vaping groups and thus pro-smoking groups.

One of Trump's favorite ridiculous descriptors. I'm sure that's not a coincidence.

One can't both engage in a crime and prosecute it...

Everyone knows that the road to freeing the masses is giving a relative few the power to prohibit tyranny and crush oppression.

He's also the junkie who robbed you.

It's so awesome to have a president who doesn't just stop at being corrupt, but actually adds extra layers of corruption on top of the original ones.

He's like the Monty Python spam skit - "Corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, fascism, and corruption."

Ah - I get a chance to preach.

I think it makes a lot of sense, and I've been trying to convince people of that since I've been here. It costs nothing and provides benefits, and what more could anyone want?

When I first came to Lemmy, I couldn't figure out any reason to pick one specific instance, and I finally decided that the only way to know if it mattered was to create multiple accounts and compare them. So I did.

I sort of intended to eventually settle on one, but as it turned out, I never really did, and in fact have added a number of accounts since.

The first and most notable thing I discovered is that every instance is different. Unsurprisingly, specialty instances like ani.social and literature.cafe are different from the general instances, but even the general instances differ from each other just depending on which other instances they're federated with and which communities they carry.

I default to All on most instances, and All on lemm.ee, for instance, is significantly different from All on Sopuli, or from All on dbzer0, or from All on Beehaw, and so on. So I can effectively tailor my experience simply by using different accounts.

I generally have about three general accounts that I cycle between, with another few specialty ones - either specialized by topic, like ani.social, or specialized by bias, like .ml. I find that's enough so that pretty much no matter what I'm in the mood for, I have an account that fits.

Additionally, from a more simple practical perspective, instances change over time, and are sometimes shut down entirely. That's never directly affected my experience, since I always have other accounts. So for instance, when .world started to decline, I just stopped using it, and when lemmy.ninja shut down (RIP), I just spent more time on other instances. And as new instances pop up, or just come to my attention, I just make an account, then take them for a test drive and see what I think. I've discovered a number of good instances that way.

So... yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense and it's pretty much effortless and entirely free, so there's no reason not to do it.

Trump murdered those people.

I remain convinced - grow more so virtually every day in fact - that the long-term goal of Trump and the fascist right is to formally ally with Russia in a war against the EU/NATO.

Much more to the point, it will be a war of plutocratic oligarchy against social democracy.

So I'm assuming that, like the rest of the broligarchy, what he actually means by "free speech" is right-wing authoritarianism exclusively and what he actually means by "free markets" is monopolistic corporate capitalism.

It's his way of saying "Thank you."

The Toddler-in-chief.
