When I despair about how Ukraine can ever rebuild after this war, my mind keeps circling back to their expertise at blowing up data centres. This could prove a highly marketable skill!

That guy looks like Vigo the Carpathian
Itβs Doctor Who.
The Dr. Of Whodo.
πΆAaaaaah who the fuck are you?!πΆ
No matter what role he plays, it just looks like a badly pasted 11th Doctor's face on top of the character.
I love all Lemmy-goers, but I'm amused by how .ml users here don't seem to get the joke...
I can't see them because My instance blocked them
They're all feeling a bit disconnected.
Same for .world tbh, though not as bad.
My other account that I created when Sopuli was down and that has stayed logged in on another device I use, was banned from pretty much all .world communities for criticizing zionists and pretty much all .ml communities for criticizing the CCP lol
Remember, every religion has a zionist faction. they fight each other but when threatened by outsiders they all work together. The Zionist Jews in WW2 actively aided the Nazis in order to push the surviving Jews to their side, while the Nazis agreed because it made it easier to remove Jews from their vile Aryan empire.
In ancient history, the Crusades were just Zionist Christians (with Zionist Jews as allies) against Zionist Muslims. Which was stupid because they were all of the same faith... just different factions. Christians are just Jews that accept "Jesus" as a prophet and divine entity (aka a second god while gaslighting the world and themselves into saying they only worship one god). Jews stick to worshipping one god. Muslims are basically just Christians that accept 2 prophets (Jesus and Mohammed) while saying that neither are divine. which pisses off Christians who worship their not-god-god Jesus while also pissing off the Jews who refuse to recognize either of the prophets.
In Modern days: Christianity has a bunch of Zionist factions. -- They fund MAGA and rose to power twice in the last 100 years. Once in Nazi Germany through Hitler (despite him being of Jewish descent) and the other in the USA during Trump's presidency with his avid support.
Muslims have their well known terrorist groups. -- which were all funded by or founded by the CIA to fight Russia. that really bit USA in the ass when the Muslim groups realized that the CIA (and the USA) were never going to honor their promises. que 9/11.
Jews have the Israeli Genocide Force. which they claim defends them from Palestine. Before and during WW2 the Palestinians welcomed the Jews (who were fleeing persecution) with open arms. then were rewarded with Jews being given Palestinian land and an 80 year long genocide by the very people they helped protect from Nazi enforced genocide. talk about the "scorpion stinging the frog" story in real life. Jews of Israel being the Scorpion in the story and Palestinians being the Frog in the Story.
Buddhists and Hindus have their own conflicts but they tend to just fight each other away from the western world with only a few stories making their way onto USA news. and most of those are when they get into conflicts with Muslim Zionists.
I mean, I get the joke, but the dems won very explicitly because voters were reacting to poor economic conditions brought on by the Iran War
You forget about ICE, my friend. That was one of the main reasons Texas went blue. The Rio Grande valley flipped from red to blue just because that
.ml is an echo chamber cultivated by handful of mods who control all the popupar subs. Its just like reddit
I saw some huffing some serious copium saying βthose DCs didnβt have any bots! They were just indexers for a search engine!ββ¦ right, like you knew and trusted what was running on every single server in those DCs.
Eh. I actually think there didnβt seem to be many bots at those locations. But they have bots somewhere, and the joke is funny anyway.
Enjoy the downvotes

Fucking lol
Homie, it was about the economy. I wish USAmericans would give a fuck about anything else, but it was the gas prices.
I'm pretty sure 2024 was about the racism. The price of eggs was an excuse so they didn't have to admit it was the racism.
We're still guessing, but there were a lot of factors at play in the 2026 Midterms blue typhoon. Yes, runaway inflation, the affordability crisis and the global energy crisis felt at home were all large factors.
Curiously -- and this brings me hope -- open corruption and self-dealing by the Trump family and Republican pay-to-play politics was also a large factor. People are really vocal about it.
Weaponization of government departments, like the DoJ going after political enemies or state election boards, was a factor.
ICE and the concentration camps are a factor, though not as much as it really should be. This motivated the Latin flip.
After the gutting of the VRA and the southern-state gerrymanders, the US Black vote responded Oh, HELL NO!
The broken MAGA promises, the still-elusive Epstein files, the war in Iran after a promise of no more forever wars, pushed some MAGA true believers to the fringes of their movement. They just failed to show.
I don't think so. Yes, the US is very racist in a lot of ways, but the reason Harris lost was because the Biden admin failed to do anything to substantially improve anyone's life, and she didn't appear credibly different. Biden was elected purely over dissatisfaction with Trump, but that wasn't enough for a second win. We are in the same place right now. Dems won on dissatisfaction, but they'll need to deliver results to win again in 2028.
We already had a term with Trump, and knew how that worked out. On the campaign trail, Trump also said what he intended to do. His dictator for a day fantasies made his malevolence super clear. His promises were entirely implausible. (E.g. I Will end the Ukraine conflict in the first week.)
And then there was project 2025 which described how the Republican party planned to dismantle federal regulatory bodies and neuter federal elections.
No. They said so. #IVotedForThis β They wanted to see brown children back in cages again. They wanted a Schutzstaffel to disappear the undesirables. They didn't care the patrician class was going to plunder the US treasury and its credit.
Of the severity-seven million American voters in who chose Trump, hundreds, maybe might be ignorant idiots, but most of them were malevolent. They still are.
To be fair, they're also under the influence of a massive far-right propaganda machine that dominates social media and television viewership. FOX News uses the same brainwashing techniques that were used on US soldiers in Korea.
I understand the Democratic party postmortem suggested it was more benign issues, (trans athletes) but then I'm pretty sure that part of the party is captured and controlled opposition. They have cause to present a biased analysis.
You're describing what motivates Trump's base. They are in a cult, but they don't win elections on their own. Believe it or not (and I don't like it either), most people just care about their own lives.
Most people also treat everything as not real and inconsequential, other than what benefits them.
Trump's base are low-information, low-education voters. The rest of Americans should have actually seen Trump is a monster and should not be entrusted with power.
To be fair, most Democrats polled identify as moderate or centrist Democrats but then they agree with the main DSA positions that moderate Democratic officials stand against.
To paraphrase something that Jamelle Bouie recently said, The American people voted in a madman. And they're going to have to collectively ask themselves some difficult questions about their intent, and even their capacity to self-govern.
I have every reason to be pessimistic.
They did. 1/3 of eligible voters chose hate and rascim. 1/3 said said anyone but Trump. And almost all of the remaining 1/3 saw the same racist pedophile who straight up told us what he was going to do. They looked at the malevolent evil he represented, weighed out the pros and cons of him being reelected and rather than vote against him, they decided that him winning was acceptable.
If that 1/3 of the country had voted for anyone else, then you might be able to say that they just couldn't agree on who to vote for, and didn't like her politics or the Biden administration or whatever. But that's not what they did. They decided that what he represented was acceptable.
You don't just find that level of hate βacceptable" without having enough of your own hate to make it not seem that bad.
I understand the Democratic party postmortem suggested it was more benign issues, (trans athletes)
Nobody cares about trans athletes. Harris lost because she never touched important stuff. Yes most of the people agree that abortion should be right of every woman. NO this is NOT an issue that will sway their votes one way or another. Average US citizen doesn't care about war in Ukraine. But they do care about Epstein files. And all they got from Biden was 5 years of silence.
My only conclusion is that dems live in their own echo chamber.
The reson Harris lost was a dogshit planning with a cancer stricken candidate as vehicle. From the current perspective it looks like she was counting on Biden winning and then leaving the position due to health issues.
The implication was that it was about social media propaganda too...
Gas prices, grocery prices, ICE raids, school closures, job losses...
It was a lot of things
One could argue that most people who care about ICE and children already voted blue
Yeah, I meant gas prices as shorthand for the economy in general but you're right. I'm not so sure about the ICE raids. If the economy was doing well, I don't think they would have moved the needle, sadly.
BTW your gas prices are high partly because whole US infrasttucture is built around exporting locally produced oil. Not turning into products. This is a structural defect noone ever bothered to fix
Every time I read USAmericans I just see "us Americans" are you trying to include yourself? If not Americunts is probably fine.
It's funny and all, but no credible source reported lowered Russian bot activity after those bombings. It's one of those things that makes sense, but didn't happen.
It was visible in my spam folder. Usually I get 1-2 russian spam emails a day, but from Oct 12th to October 17th they just stopped (the bombing was on the 11th)

The data center hit only had crawlers. There is no noticeable lowering of Russian bot activity.
There is no way to know that
There are organisations trying to monitor bot activity and none of them saw a noticeable decline.
That does not mean the datacenter hit was only hosting crawlers
People just want to believe whatever they want. You are right all this points directly to Russian bot activity clearly going down, this guy got less Russian spam because Ukraine killed a data center. Slava Ukraini.
