Harris proposes raising the corporate tax rate to 28%, rolling back a Trump law
  • Should be no less than 90%, like it used to be.

  • ‘Evangelicals For Harris’ Drops Brutal Ad Questioning If Trump is a ‘False Prophet’
  • The point of a "false prophet" is that they claim to speak for/act in the name of God for their own (evil) ends. False prophets are the highest tier of grifter in a religious context.

  • US announces $125 million military aid package for Ukraine
  • Forcing people to fight over invisible line on a map and pushing them into a meat grinder is evil.

    I'm glad you're opposed to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the current invasion, very nice! Russia really should stop sending wave after wave of soldiers into the meat grinder just so they can seize more Ukrainian territory.

    They are totally ok with profiting out of people misery and misfortunes, just look how much money they are making out of the war industry these days. They simply are scum, look around yourself they do corporations interests not people.

    That is not an answer to my question.

  • US announces $125 million military aid package for Ukraine
  • Al capone did plenty of charity...

    Cool, also irrelevant.

    They are sending billions of dollars in weapons to an authoritarian and corrupted government who passed martial law and forbids any man between 18-60 to leave the country, who's also seeking to forcibly repatriate these who fled the country and are eligible for conscription.

    They past martial law because they are fighting for their sovereignty, my guy. If the US had an invader beating down its doorstep and they had already taken California, I feel like switching to wartime government is justifiable. A draft is unfortunate, but when the alternative is to fold in the face of Russian aggression? That's no choice at all.

    They are doing this while backing a genocide in israel, selling weapons to dictatorships such as saudi arabia and doing business with countries like china who are directly supplying russia in this war.

    See previous. Yes, the US makes a lot of bad decisions. Supplying Ukraine is not one of them.

    They don't give a shit about you and me or common people, rulers do not fight their wars they send others to die for their slimy interests. That's not a good thing.

    So it is categorically impossible for leaders of nations to care about the people in the nations they administer? This comes off as incredibly cynical.

  • US announces $125 million military aid package for Ukraine
  • I get it, the interests of the US government are very frequently wrong and harmful to the world.

    But even a broken clock is right twice a day. And assisting Ukraine in defending itself against an invasion is, unequivocally, a good thing.

  • We found the Missing Performance: Zen 5 Tested with SMT Disabled
  • I know the article says what it is, I know it's wrong, I know it's irrelevant...

    But I can't read "SMT" as anything other as Shin Megami Tensei.

  • Kamala Harris has told allies that he she has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
  • That isn't really consistent with English orthography.

    But you can write "pfysche", and that would be consistent with English.

  • Louder, for the American Idiots in the back
  • Probably a quote on high-quality guillotines.

  • Harris tops Trump for first time in Nate Silver’s election forecast
  • I think we're all just scarred after 2016, because a lot of polling back then had Clinton beating Trump, and we know how that worked out.

  • Harris interviews Walz, Kelly, Shapiro at her home for vice president pick
  • Must not think he'll add much to the ticket compared to the other candidates.

  • Harris interviews Walz, Kelly, Shapiro at her home for vice president pick
  • I imagine a job like that has prepared him to deal with people that act like fucking children, too.

  • Beer
  • I hate to be that guy, but...

    (who am I kidding, I very much enjoy being that guy)

  • Russia interfering in 2024 election to help Trump, US intelligence officials say
  • As much as it is very funny, it's still a threat that should be taken seriously.

    Stay vigilant, lads. Be watchful for any bots trying to throw a wrench into the works.

  • Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
  • You can see posts from every instance that your instance has federated with. For example, I, on toast.ooo, can see posts on lemmy.world, lemmy.dbzer0.com, and sh.itjust.works because my instance federates with them.

    You can't see posts from instances that your instance has defederated with, though, nor can you see posts from instances that have defederated with yours. Think of it like cutting one of those thick undersea cables that connect the internet across continents.

    There's a lot to consider when picking an instance; lemmy.world is a good default, so that's probably why Voyager directed you to it, but don't be afraid to switch to another instance of you think it'll serve you better!

  • ‘Kamala broke Zoom’: Over 160,000 women join video call to rally for Harris
  • Maybe they didn't expect so many people to join?

    Perhaps they'll switch to a more suited platform for broadcasting to a large audience, like YT or Twitch.

  • If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?

    For example, I'd take We Happy Few and put it into the hands of either Remedy (of Alan Wake & Control fame) or IO Interactive (of Hitman series fame).

    How does one resist getting into protracted arguments while still staying informed?

    Getting heated is bad for the heart, after all. But I've always had the belief that the worst thing you can be in this world is consciously uninformed, so I wanna stay in the loop.
