I know a federal government employee who spent over half a day writing their “5 things you did last week” email. It seemed like a very important task coming from high up in the administration, so they wanted to take the time to make sure it was done right.
Yeah it seems pretty clear that someone was like “His marijuana leaf stands for M, so let’s label that. Then we’ll say this is a smiley, so label that S. Etc etc”
Then Trump saw it and (just like the COVID hospital cleaning protocols to use bleach and UV light) assumed he was the smartest person in the room - and just ran with it. Problem is he’s too dumb and egotistical to admit he made a mistake.
But he also killed the guy who killed Hitler. Kind of a dick move.

I think this is how it would likely be reported. Making it a more passive action would shield responsibility.

Seems like Darius is a guy with autism that makes noises on TikTok. His caretaker (mother?) seems to think it’s healthy to express himself and let off energy.
Maybe she’s just being polite.
I just want to point out that Colorado Springs is the polar opposite of what people think of when they think of Colorado.
Colorado Springs is a military-focused city being the home of the US Airforce Academy. It’s famous for its mega-churches and hosts the headquarters of the extreme right-wing group “Focus on the Family”. Their mayor recently said that people could report anyone they suspected of being an illegal immigrant and the city would investigate it.
People always talk about wanting to grow Lemmy, but honestly I like it a lot more the way it is. You can comment on a post that’s been on All for 6 hours and still get plenty of thoughtful responses. On reddit, there was so much noise - especially on major threads - that commenting was like pissing into the wind.
You block Fox News using a Pi-hole?
Lol nope, it was just an unlabeled camcorder tape. There’s a lesson to be learned here, which is be careful with unlabeled tapes. Hope you don’t find anything similar on your mom’s tapes!
No judgement here…

Trump has since begun to soften some of the measures, granting exemptions for smartphones, semiconductors and electronics and claiming the US and China were in direct contact “every day”.
On Tuesday, the president said tariffs would come down “substantially” and a deal would be done “pretty quickly”.
But the Chinese foreign ministry on said any reports that China and the US were nearing a deal were “fake news”.
“There have been no consultations or negotiations between China and the United States regarding tariffs, let alone reaching an agreement,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.
This is classic Trump. Lie about how easy something will be and how great he’s making things, all while delivering horse shit and counting on your supporters to be too dumb to listen to what’s actually going on.
I do the exact same thing. After I’ve done that a few times, I’ll go “well let’s see what’s on Hot instead”.
Think of this from our perspective. We are two teenage boys. We find a hidden tape. We don’t know what’s on it. What’s the next logical move?
Or if you’re saying once the guy in the tape does his intro, what are you saying you’d do differently? Are you saying you’d send your brother out of the room so you could watch the tape of the guy jacking off by yourself? Cause that’s weird as fuck dude.
I reminded my brother of this and he responded https://youtu.be/reNvytfN820
Growing up, my brother and I found a camcorder tape hidden in the basement of the house we moved into like 6 months prior. We had to buy a mini tape to VHS converter so we could play the thing on our VCR.
It was a tape of some young dude in the our (now) basement going “this is going to be a video showing you how to make love to beautiful women.”
Me and my brother were like “hell yeah!” Then the guy in the video goes “but before you make love, you have to learn to love yourself.”
The entire video was then just this dude jacking off. We were so mad we went out of our way to buy a VHS converter just to watch this dude beating his meat. There were no beautiful women to be found.
Fortunately they are in a role that the fascists are trying desperately to keep. So it’s kind of funny.
