Toxic water. Destroyed crops. Displaced families.

In the DRC’s cobalt & copper belt — vital to the global energy transition — communities are paying the price.

In 2024, Mongabay investigated, naming polluters ignoring cleanup obligations. Months later, the gov’t hit some with a record multi-billion-dollar tax bill.

in reply to Alfie Kohn

Conservatives only support education insofar as it is necessary to indoctrinate children into their twistedly selfish and greedy ideology and mold them into compliant automatons which can be exploited for the benefit of those in power. That’s why conservatives mock and ridicule and try to ban everything that teaches children how to be independent thinkers and feelers and creators.

Learn to curse like an adult

Full monologue: You low corrosive fecal horror, you maniac bastardly turd! I would rather drink stale urine from Norman Fowler's arse-pit than remain one moment more in your defilant company. You're filth, you're cack, you're the oooze of a burst boil, I abominate you, you towering mound of corrupted slime. Your every utterance is like the hiss of a fat maggot in the putrid guts of a decomposing rat. Your face is fouler than the un-wiped inner ring of Satan's rectum.

All the troubles with Debian upgrade


So a new major version of Debian has been released, and now I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version. I don't want to rush to conclusions like "Ubuntu has money for better quality assurance". I can easily come up with explanations for why these statistics can be skewed, like "Ubuntu-loving plebeians do not come to complain to elite Lemmy users about their puny problems". I'm curious what you think?

Take a walk with me down the rabbit hole...

There are two factions vying for control of the United States at the moment - the Globalists and Nationalists - and they each have their own Trump.

I believe the one in the left photo is the real Donald Trump that appeared on Joe Rogan who had vastly different speech patterns, as well as subtler differences in the shape of his nose and eyebrows, and considerable difference in his weight and height (6'2") compared to the impersonator in the right photo who is controlled by the Globalist faction who is 5'7" in height and who is Israel-first and hellbent on destroying American influence abroad.

The imposter has been in the public eye since June - when things started to go haywire, starting with the Epstein coverup. His presence is able to be hidden because the Globalist faction still control the majority of media platforms (not Minds though!).

There being two Trumps explains why he appears to be so schizophrenic and contradictory in his public appearances and messaging.See less
