How dare you have fun with something I don’t enjoy.

The branding is so bad 🤣

They’re hardly a propagandist. They’ve made plenty of posts which paint China in a less than flattering light.

Alternatively, the US is a shithole country with an oppressive health care system. The current life expectancy is propped up by a few super rich states where people can actually afford to see a doctor.

Smoking and drinking is an almost exclusively male pastime.

Civilization couldn’t exist as it does today, but humans are a resilient species. We will find a way to continue living, pretty much as long as life remains on this planet. Be that underground, at the poles, in bunkers, in a dystopian desert wasteland, humanity will persist.

There’s no way the climate crisis entirely wipes out humanity. However, we could be looking at a Mad Max style future.

I’m a teacher at a private international school.

I’ve been trying to hammer this point home.

I wish devs would wake up and create a default easy mode sign-up for the fediverse with an option to click “advanced sign-up” if you choose to do so.

The easy mode would just automatically assign an instance based upon some algorithm.

I still have to wear a full suit :'(

But good for the corporations who lobbied the government into the action in the first place.

Good question.

Iran’s Prime Minister at the time was too left wing and his policies hurt American corporations.

The final straw was nationalising oil production so that its profits went to the citizens of Iran.

This led corporations to lobby the American government to get involved.

In steps the CIA to overthrow Iran’s democracy.
