Yeah, it does. But I think the intent of “Magastan” is to draw a comparison to “those countries”. But this is stooping down to Trump’s level imo

Don’t sully the “-stan” countries like that, they don’t deserve that association.

You can always do that manually when creating the post

True, but you won’t. You’ll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance… if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work

Yeah, that’s why I don’t like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won’t do.

I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they’re not mislead.

I know we all hate AI here… But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it

Not really, he was already insanely popular before this. Just won a third majority a week ago, which is unheard of in Ontario politics. It’s more that he knows how to connect with people and the electorate is very gullible / willing to turn a blind eye.

With all this recent goodwill he’ll probably end up being our prime minister at some point shudder

My Hispanic in-laws had to go to the states to take care of some elderly family, and they said the Spanish translations of what he’s saying make him sound much smarter than what he’s actually saying in English. Like they change the words, use proper grammar and the tone of voice doesn’t come through the translator.

Not saying this is an excuse in any way, but I thought that was interesting.

There’s millions of young people who are just starting to pay attention. We continue to point out the hipocrasy for them. Lest their only point of reference come from the conservatives.

Socksucker?

If it quacks like a duck…

3. You know Putin would throw every possible resource into influencing that election. He’s damn good at it now too

A 50/50 split on two candidates is literally as divided as it’s possible to be.

Let him down whenever, as long as he’s orbited with a cannon.

Yeah that was my source as well. But there’s some CCTV footage that appears to show the plane moving upside down much faster than taxiing speed, so seems like it was just a rumour.

This is completely unverified, but I heard it happened while the plane was taxiing. Just a freakishly strong crosswind picking up a light plane.

The real question is whether they’ll still want in after the US is done with whatever it is they’re doing to it.

Wow, less than a cup of coffee?

As a non American, maybe someone can help clarify something.

My understanding is that executive orders only apply to federal agencies. So does this just mean that cafeterias in federal office buildings will need to use plastic straws? And restaurants / stores are completely unaffected by this?

I mean, there’s only so many hours in a day. Overwhelm the shit out of scotus.

I’d rather do that through long term economic policy, and not because there’s a fire under our feet and we have no other choice.

Not to mention the private investigators he’ll hire to follow you and your family’s every move.
