Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Which would tank the stock market so I’m gunna play the crash stock market game

What's bad for people, is usually good for the markets.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why would it tank the stock market? The stock market is perfectly happy to ignore the long term implications of climate change. Why wouldn't it ignore the sudden increase in the risk of nuclear proliferation and war?

Because nuking Iran will turn a 90% blockade on oil tankers into a 100% blockade on anything that looks like a ship.

[–] fake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

The blockade will be the least of anyones worries if the nuclear taboo is broken

That would be an entirely unprecedented response and would pretty much end any validity the international skid mark still has.

So a normal Tuesday for Trump.

Conservatives will never impeach the most accurate representative of conservatism they've ever had.

If conservatives wanted to stop him, they already would have. They hold both chambers of congress. They will never do that because he is doing exactly what they want. Trump is conservatism incarnate. A perfect reflection of all conservatives. He is them.

Conservatism brings only sickness, oppression and death. This has always been true throughout all human history.

I think he's talking about nuking them. The fact he says decision coming up, makes me think they've been delaying and putting off the conversation because even the dipshits controlling this situation know that's going to start ww3 and it won't go well for them, financially at least.

getting trashed by cheap drones from iran, which were reverse engineered.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

No one? I think there's a lot of other people in the Epstein files who are profiting off this entire debacle that are happier than pigs in shit about it. I assume anyways

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

More taxes on the poor probably. Tariffs on all the things +20%!

Dude needs a rest.
