“Needing to go to the fucking police station” is arguably way more difficult than the US process.

Election 2024: weak handshake vs kick in the dick.
Right? What is even the claim supposed to be here? I watched the whole thing. At no point did either of the moderators stick their hand up Trump’s ass and work his mouth like a puppet
Everyone knows it’s impossible for the NSA to buy rack space in Bulgaria, where they literally don’t have to deal with any US legal process.
It’s also impossible for the NSA to market such a service via pop-privacy blogs and social media profiles.
The funny part about this is that the Snowden leaks showed that the NSA actually put a lot of effort into doing shit like this specifically to avoid all the paperwork which came with accidentally collecting data from US citizens. Keeping the data and analysis off shore means no pesky FISA paperwork.
The idea was that the Saudis and Russians pump money into the stock to keep the price propped up until Donny can cash out, but that only works if you have enough cash to backfill the volume ratio as needed. It would work a lot better if they could have been quieter about it, but Trump basically makes billions as long as the price doesn’t actually go to zero since his shares are grants for using his “brand.”
It’s not so much money laundering as a completely legal path for foreign agents to buy favors from a possible US President.
600k active accounts. Maybe half of them are real Americans.
Don’t respond if it is mostly “Blue MAGA” and “Genocide Joe”
It could also be instance admins fucking around.
You should out the users and topics they are engaging with.
Words cannot express how fucking weird this is.
END of a genetic line, the end of a name, the end of a dynasty, the end of a family. These things are hugely important to people.
Ohhh noo…
Anyway.
Nah, more like “Russian bots exist and some people I disagree with are Russian bots.” Which is pretty much the entire premise of the article.
It’s also pretty easy to tell the difference IMO. The trolls tend to just do nothing but troll and flame. They don’t really spend much time engaging on other topics.
As far as why I think Lemmy is a training ground? Call it a hunch. Obviously I don’t have a notarized letter from a troll farm saying that they are in control of a certain worldnews forum, but a lot of the usual suspects fit a bit too neatly into that box to not raise an eyebrow. There are some other patterns as well but its definitely all circumstantial.
And before people say “not Lemmy, we are too small” - It’s pretty obvious that a major Lemmy instance is literally a training ground for these recruits before they get promoted to Facebook and reddit duty (either intentionally or otherwise). There have been a few narratives this election which seem to have been tested out on here weeks before getting to Facebook and reddit. “Blue MAGA” was a pretty obvious one they seemed to workshop on Lemmy.
I choose to use my individual agency to focus on mammoth cloning and not climate change. Are you going to arrest me and force me to do the science you want?
This is literally the kids sauna in Scandinavian countries
Not everyone is an extrovert. Spending hours doing nothing but making small talk is legitimately excruciating for many people, and it has nothing to do with “skills.” Having a premise for social interaction besides “let’s grill each other for hours” is socially inclusive.
After a certain point of familiarity there just isn’t much left to say.
This makes it seem like jerking off to MILF porn is hard because there is a learning curve
Great so now I will mangle all my merge commits depending on which version the host is using.
Say the line Bart!
