CIA and the MIC for sacking Dulles, warming to Cuba, and indicating that he would slow down / put the brakes on interventions in Vietnam and SA.

JFK was still an anti-communist imperialist, but he increasingly thought the best strategy for winning the cold war, and getting the world to line up behind US wasn’t more war, but soft-power initiatives like the space race, and more equitable economic ties with global south countries. His disagreements with chancellor Dulles led to his killing, Dulles’ restoration, and Dulles heading the investigation of JFK’s murder.

Props, this is like an diplomatic BDS.

CeraVe is the only skin-care company afaik whose products are developed by dermatologists, and are consistently highly rated by dermatologists. They have good scentless moisturizers, lotions with sunscreen, retinol, shampoos, conditioners, and wash bar(soap alternative).

The strangest person I’ve ever met was homeschooled, it was a really sad case. He was an only child home-schooled by fundamentalist christian parents, and didn’t have much interaction with peers his age until he was in college. Zebulon (yes that was his name) could not hold a simple conversation, and clearly had less education than most grade-schoolers. Talking to him was worse than talking to a child, he would babble or ignore everything you said and change the subject completely. I hope he’s overcome that and is doing better now.

It should be illegal or heavily restricted, as it is in many countries already.

1. The kid doesn’t get what’s easily the most important aspect of school (even more important than the curriculum), socialization.
2. The kid gets an education from someone who likely has no qualifications whatsoever, and is more than likely homeschooling for fundamentalist religious reasons.

Today the US and Israel bombed and killed 85 people (mostly children) in an all girls primary school.

Death to amerikkka

They also bombed and killed several members of his family, including his daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.

That and the condescending arrogance of “bombs are not the best way for Iran to accept our form of democracy” stuck out too.

So much coded language in here.

We desperately need an anti-zionist german language lemmy server.

Disgusting pacifist hours:

A “cease fire” is when Israel just continues to murder as many civilians as they were before without repercussions.

The core function of lemmy, is following communities, either built around a topic, region, or anything else.

The core function of mastodon, is following people.

The only way to make microblogging tolerable, IMO is to follow “topic-based” accounts. I might be interested in what a person thinks about a topic, but I’m not interested in what food they ate that day.

There’s also the issue of overwhelming feeds: not everyone can be a celebrity, and there’s a limit to the number of people we can hold in our heads and follow, before our entire day is wrecked. I can’t use most microblogging because its just too overwhelming, and I don’t care about celebrities outside of a few writers or academics.

Bullies target the defenseless, and always pick weak targets. So unarmed protestors who pose no threat, are going to get attacked far quicker than an armed and disciplined group.

But unfortunately US cops can kill anyone with impunity so no one is safe even if they do defend themselves.

Depends on the instance. A lot of instances let themselves be overrun by US reddit reposters, filling every community, and they moderate none of it.

At least on lemmy.ml we try to keep US content quarantined to US-specific communities.

Depends on the country. There are many US specific communities like https://lemmy.ml/c/usa

I used to use typing.com, but for the last two layouts I learned, just keybr. It adds keys slowly, and makes sure you “level up” to more keys in a uniform way.
