I highly doubt that Iran would attack the US directly - the most they would do is cyberwar

the US has the military power to force Farsi to become a dead language, and I don’t think the Iranian government would want to mess with force that powerful like that

I think what your seeing is probably a bunch of coincidences, there’s other explainations for that stuff you listed, like trump replacing govt workers with his own or wanting more deregulation for power plants.

I wouldn’t worry too much of a threat like that from Iran.

I remember that

if its a prison the people are breaking out of, its a prison break

This is a very complex and intricate topic and it really isn’t simple at all and it takes large amounts of mental effort to comprehend its mechanics.

in some sense everyone reading this is rich on the global scale of wealth

the one I’m on is pretty nice

yeah that makes sense, like a math proof

2+2 is a fact

In some sense, if every single human thought that 2+2 equaled 5, it would become true

(I’m not smart enough to come up with this lol, got it from Orwell’s 1984)

I think this applies to vastly more of us than are comfortable admitting

well this sorta makes sense

with all that stuff Ukraine managed to pull off, domestic drone terrorism is probably something the thinktanks already thought up, calculated the risks of, and told the guy to do something about

probably

no one in the private sector was gonna take that kind of risk for a while and then SpaceX took the gamble, won and now tons of players see vertical landing of rockets works so their all looking into it.

well Honda did this a decade later so there still is some achievement spacex has done 🤷

I think most of those online iq tests increase the distribution of the scores, so if your a little above average you get iq130 and if you do slightly worse than the mean you get iq70

I’ve got a really good feeling that if sanders were president, and he was selling merchandise, using his position as POTUS to advertise for it, and said it was made in the us while its raw materials were made elsewhere, you’d be fine with that

I’m no fan of trump, but this isn’t an overreach of power nearly as bad as you say it is. its not the job of there potus, but its also not harmful

is a president selling merchandise while in office corruption? because if you think that isn’t, then this isn’t

no problem!

he’s just selling something that his followers will buy. no one else really cares to.

your logic could be even more effectively applied to him selling merchandise about him and that isn’t an overreach of power in any way

bc of a phone 🤦

I’m not even disagreeing with you, but listen to yourself.

I think it would be mostly harmless if they didnt they to use their unique position as the ‘main’ Lemmy instance to spread their crazy ideas beyond the confines of their space

like theres other far left echo chambers in the fediverse, but theyve been mostly defederated from, like hexbear

how exactly are they abusing their power with this one?
