He should lose sleep from getting executed for treason, for handing the western world to Putin on a platter.

I'm not surprised that Trump has obviously committed high treason. That has been blindingly obvious since that Helsinki meet.

I'm surprised that he did it in a way that didn't leave a trail of evidence leading him to being executed.

You cannot block bullets unless you touch them first. See master Ken demonstrate: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nd_2DGPaQ4U

Tap, tap, grab, throw it back.

You would have had Trump in 2016, but then again, it'd be over now. Unless he would've actually destroyed democracy.

TikTok gathering data and selling it to whoever is a problem but it's not the problem.

The problem of TikTok and many other social media is that it drains our energy and motivation. It's like digital weed, creates the feeling that there's no reason to change things. We can just consume things.

Debbie does Dallas would've been a rather mediocre high school drama without the sex scenes.

They are largely pro-Ukraine due to some happy accidents and Finnish history, that might be the reason.

No, actually...

... but seriously, the Internet is so different from real life that no comparisons make sense. Opinions that would have been uttered by the craziest village idiots in a local gas station 30 years ago are now distributed and magnified by the social media machine. In the past, you could see with your eyes, hear with your ears and even smell with your nose which people you really really should not listen to, but in the internet, those people look exactly like you and me.

And it's all sapping your energy and time, the most precious resources you have.

That's why blocking is fine, even whole instances if they are shown to be crazy enough.

Also, I would like to point out that the creators of the clients for the first community platforms (usenet) recognized early on the importance of shutting people up (killfiles).

Save your sanity and do Settings -> Blocks -> Block instance -> lemmy.ml

Also perhaps block me if you strongly disagree with the above.
