The only things that the Biden administration has done that's bad is genocide obviously, but a little genocide never hurt anybody... I guess you could try blaming him for inflation or gas prices, or the fallout of COVID-19, but that would be kind of dumb

You can, of course, say he hasn't done enough, which wouldn't be wrong, but the things he's done have had a pretty positive effect on the country and have brought us at least a little closer to the left – even with an opposing congress. I can't say I like how he treats, say, nationalism and the Middle East, but he's at least somewhat redeemed himself from just being a "moderate Republican" I would say. At least his administration has brought in officials who are tougher on corporations, even if he's still a corporate Democrat.

Pointing out casual misogyny/sexism, it's extremely common on Lemmy (not surprising when the platform mostly only appealed to nerdy young dudes up until recently)

my guy have you been to hexbear or lemmygrad? every other post on those forums are just people whining about westerners treating china and russia like they're totalitarian/dictatorships and genocidal (because they are) and then saying that the US is even worse with less freedom of speech and more authoritarian. and obviously the constant uyghur genocide denial saying they're just being "(re)educated" and they're "integrating" with the mainland communities/culture more, then deflecting and rationalizing that even if it is genocide then it's good because US wage slavery & prison labour is bad.

plus calling ukraine nazis and in general being anti-ukraine, saying that ukrainians want to be part of russia and that ukraine was better off as part of the soviet empire, claiming that putin was justified in invading "because NATO" even though there was no way in hell of ukraine joining NATO (they don't accept unstable countries or countries with foreign non-NATO military/rebel presence) and even after NATO started backing away from ukraine in order to please russia (tankie claims which are silly and a sick joke)...

it's not nearly as bad on lemmy.ml, it's mostly limited to the minority here, but the other two are definitely filled to the brim with imperialists/red nazis in denial...

god i even get the popup on mobile

god, you're gonna make me orgasm

Retirement being supported through taxes rather than individuals choosing to save would be far better. It's wealth based so people who can afford to save for retirement are already doing it by default, and people who make an egregious amount of money are taxed so those who can't afford to save for retirement aren't left to rot.

Same concept as other social services, really. Having the means for basic survival should be guaranteed by society, especially for people who can't support themselves.

quick, let's notify the future shooter how government may track him so that he'll take the exact necessary steps to not be caught before committing a shooting. and the foreign spy. and the person who plans to sell/traffic illegal items. they deserve a right to know exactly how the government tracks them, after all

how do you catch criminals if they know exactly how the government would catch them? saying the government has nothing to hide if it has nothing to fear is very wrong

Uhhh what? Swift is just one of the languages you can use to make native UI for Apple devices and interact with their API.
