Ben Stein explains tariffs in Ferris Buellers Day Off
  • So counterpoint, is the tariff Trump wants intended to bring money into the government? Or is it meant to promote work locally? Does it matter? I’m no economist (though I’m probably more qualified than Trump).

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • Exactly. I had a guy I worked with that used examples of liberals complaining about the OK symbol as an excuse to ignore every awful thing Trump did and said during his 2016 election and while he was in office.

    I’m not saying he wouldn’t have done that anyway, but we make it so easy for them to ignore us!

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • Honest question, are there examples of this symbol being used by white nationalists regularly?

    I’ve done some light googling and looked at more photos of white nationalist rallies than I ever want and I didn’t see this symbol in any of them. Even adl.org doesn’t mention this cross.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • 😂 Clearly you googled neither… literally every link for “swastika” mentions nazis. Google “Jerusalem cross” and the only posts you see related to white nationalism are Reddit posts with people asking if the symbol is related to white nationalism/nazis and nearly every comment saying it is not.

    Edit: so many downvotes from people that also put 0 effort into looking this up.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • Yes, and any cross is a symbol of white nationalism because they were used by the KKK.

    Not every symbol used by racist people is a symbol of racism. You gave the one most extreme example where a symbol was co-opted and can never mean anything else again.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • Dude is definitely a nut, but when we start throwing around terms like “white nationalists” for things that are absolutely not white nationalism, it dilutes the impact of claims about people who legitimately are white nationalists.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • The article specifically mentioned that tattoo and no other ones… I’m not saying this dude is qualified for the job. There’s probably tons of legit reasons to hate this pick.

    This article is just rage bate, though. And judging by this thread it is a successful one.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • Might be an unpopular comment, but I googled the Jerusalem cross and it appears to be more of a religious symbol than anything.

    Saying he has tattoos linked with white nationalists is just sensationalism. And it has gotten the exact response in this thread that it wanted.

    Edit:

    For the pitchfork wielding lemmings, if you search for “Jerusalem cross” on ADL Hate Symbol Searcg, it returns ZERO results.

    Hating on this guy because you misinterpreted a tattoo that he has only makes you and people like you look ridiculous. And when the next guy stands up and says actual hateful things, WE won’t have a voice because YOU wasted it on garbage news stories like this one.

  • The Onion Says It Has Bought Infowars, Alex Jones’s Site, Out of Bankruptcy
  • As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEO's life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWarswarehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.

  • Inflation
  • It’s been coming doing for years, but much like Trump took credit for Obama’s economy, he will take credit for this too. And 50% of the country will learn the wrong lesson.

    Rick and Morty @lemmy.world danc4498 @lemmy.world

    Just a reminder of how season 6 ended

    Welcome to my darkness. I spent my life hunting this guy, Morty. This is the closest I've ever been to Rick Prime. It's impossible. He.. He's an incredibly crafty piece of shit. Hunting him destroyed me, Morty, but now we're gonna do it together. You and me. It's going to take over your life Morty! Rick and Morty season 7: Hunting My Nemesis. Maybe trying to stay healthy while doing it? Juggling plates? Not every episode, Morty. It could be all happening in the background. Who knows? No.. Noone will, except us. It.. It's the most painfull shit I've ever had to deal with, but I'm bringing you into it because you asked for it, Morty! You and me Morty!

    Is lemmy working on better default sort options than “hot” and “active”?

    I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

    I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.

    Suggestion: Show community above preview

    Not sure if this is where suggestions go, but I'll put it he anyway.

    I think the community name should be shown above the preview image of the post. Seeing the community name is important for the context of whatever the post is. I'd like to see the name before seeing the actual post.

    Is there an update on 18.1?

    I feel like with the 3rd party apps shutting down tomorrow, Lemmy could be flooded with new users. It would be a shame if their first experience here is with that front page bug.
