  • Trump proposes new tax break on car loan interest

  • Well, I'd rather have free ice cream.

    WTF is this tactic? Throwing pearls at the swine?

  • Why are Democrats tarred as elites when the world’s richest man funds Trump?

  • All threads starting with "Why" and ending in a question mark, can be answered: "Money corrupts people"

  • There are wild horses on the Mongolian steppes.

    All other horses are domesticated. Even the free horses in USA and Australia are descendants of domesticated horses.

  • It would be nice if they would stop pushing the update on computers that can't run the update anyway.

  • We didn't have GPS!

    Jump

  • Everyone ought to try driving somewhere they haven't been before without bringing gps or even printed maps.

    Look at a country/state map to get an idea of the general direction beforehand, but then otherwise just drive there and follow the signs as you get closer.

  • Sounds like a waste of time

  • In my lunch break I listen to Tom Waits off time.

  • Kremlin confirms Putin received COVID-19 testing devices from Trump

    Jump

  • Because it shows power to those that need to know.

    As the top post says: Republicans denied it happening. They might as well have played a soccer ball to Putins feet even though they're supposed to play on opposite sides, and then wondering why he kicked it back in their face.

    They did that to show that they are in control. They can get whatever they want from a republican and spit in their face afterwards, because some idiots in the GOP are under their control.

    The Russian mobsters like to remind people of their reach like that.

    Its the same reason why they keep confirming people falling out of windows with two suicidal bullets to the head and such. It's mobster whistles.

  • If they figure out if it's the white stripes or black stripes that do the trick they could reach 100%.

  • Behold, a square

    Jump

  • Knock knock. Do you have a moment to discuss non-euclidean geometry?

  • Behold, a square

    Jump

  • Yes sure, in Euclidean geometry, but this is clearly keyhole shaped geometry.

  • Republican Senate hopeful says U.S. military needs ‘alpha males and alpha females,’ not LGBTQ+ people

  • They don't even need "they/them" when they have ranks.

  • It's apparently impossible to order something from the Belgian Amazon site to have it shipped to the US. Is this true, and is it true for every non-US Amazon site?

    Jump

  • It probably depends on the seller. Amazon doesn't buy/sell everything themselves on their site. Many things are from smaller companies using Amazon as a front end store.

    Selling things to US customers can be quite complicated for European sellers and many simply choose not to. The issue being customs fees and registration for individual state sales taxes and such. It's a pretty heavy and costly process just to send a few products. If it was possible to sell a lot of products that way, Amazon would already be doing it and could easily outcompete their own seller clients.

    My work has a EU only webshop and I've noticed that some Americans place their orders to be delivered to a German address and get charged German sales tax. I suppose there's some company forwarding the packages and doing the paperwork.

  • xkcd #2992: UK Coal

    Jump

  • One could say that they placed 3 inches of the same area as UK elsewhere.

    It'd be nice if they cleaned that shit up.

  • It's generally a lot less pretentious, which might appear as a lack of "intelligent" comments. Most Lemmy users just don't spend hours trying to write page long comments on obscure topics that nobody else here cares about.

    Also, in the more specific communities, lots of things are taken for granted. Places with more users will more often have the "todays 10000" user, who just discovered something that is new to them and then decides to write about it in detail. Lemmy is more polite that way: Not reposting noob stuff on a daily basis for karma or whatever point system brings it up constantly on other sites.

  • "Thanks in advance" has changed meaning.

    It used to mean: "I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed".

    It now means :"Fuck you if you don't do this, and I expect this done without complaint."

  • Makes up theory of relativity. Marries cousin.

  • Trump suggests giving Vladimir Putin whatever he wants

    Jump

  • Fuck that, but also notice "Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore". This is a dangerous part of propaganda.

    People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.
