No-one is a non-playable character in real life, literally every single human being has their own thoughts, feelings, desires and personal storyline.
That is the fundamental understanding that underlies ethical concepts like 'human rights'.
@rangecard@dieworkwear Kind of yes, but it's bits of half-remembered science fiction books he probably never read all the words in even the first time through 😖
@BenThePCGuy@edzitron They've turned it into a verbose robot that uses "I" statements to over-explain the context of the things we look up instead of delivering answers.
Yesterday I had to resort to looking something up on paper because it kept trying to tell me it doesn't exist 🤷🏻♀️
@DeeLaSheeArt I've personally lived here most of 48 years without ever tasting a chip butty, but they do nominally exist in principle
Mint sauce (mostly vinegar) is usually for lamb, although mash could be on the same plate
Baked potatoes are basically a sandwich here, any filling goes in
@RonSau5n@ReichlinMelnick Wow, I wonder your country is doing to exclusively make itself attractive to really shitty people but not to nice ones.
Maybe you could smile more?
...offer residents a viable work-life balance?
Find ways to let existing Americans have babies without risking bankruptcy?
@ChaseFailey@samaracello It's amazing the way comments like that stop after you start looking 30+ 😡
(And it's usually "I bet you wished you played the piccolo" / "that's a big guitar" / "give us a tune love")
All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.
Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.
He's so fucking stupid, he can't even tell and just assumes everyone who knows more than him is too dumb to understand that actually everything is as simple as he is ... 🤦🏻♀️
The standard applied by DOGE was very simple and easy:
Provide contact information for the recipients of aid, so that we can confirm it is not fraudulent.
The reality is that money was being sent to corrupt politicians under the guise of aid! Liars and stock insider traders like Ro the Robber should be in prison!!
@PeterZotti It's illegal to put up any flag on someone else's property without their permission, which has been happening a lot lately.
Everyone is allowed to display the national flag of their choice at their own home (give or take if their landlord doesn't agree, potentially).
@Zokko18 My money is on this weird rash of shoplifting sacking stories we've had lately being part of a pr campaign to get people to accept US-style store payment surveillance tech more readily
@NunnnnnaB It's been absolutely routine to ensure, for everyone's safety, that the payee's card never leaves their sight here in the UK for at least 20-odd years. It protects the server and restaurant from accusations too, not just the customer.

Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He is actively trying to start a race war in Europe. He is using this platform to deliberately stoke violence because he is genocidally racist.
The *entire system* that elevated him to be the first trillionaire needs cleansing, eternal fire.
