If a bird flying by gets obliterated by a 103-mph fast ball, it signifies a bad harvest.
Herself. We don’t accept that kind of negative self-talk here.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that in all developed countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. The only exception is the United States. In the U.S., the opposite happened. People die in rising numbersEnglish
102·14 hours agoThroughout history? Whose?
The USA’s international opinion has been on the downtrend for like 20 years, with its precipitous drop like 10 years ago.
It’s not the '90s anymore; the only people pushing American exceptionalism are ignoramuses and jingoists who will do that regardless of any facts, not normal citizens.

Games@lemmy.world•Wreckreation maker Three Fields Entertainment puts whole studio on redundancy noticeEnglish
3·23 hours agoYou also didn’t hear about it because it’s not great. I watched a stream of it: the gameplay looks uninspired, like a student project to mimic Burnout, and the visuals would have looked dated in 2010.
But it was functional. So it’s neither good nor bad enough to rave about. You just say “huh”, flip a coin, and either uninstall forever or play every 7 months when you remember it’s on your hard drive.

politics @lemmy.world•Hillary Clinton says TikTok to blame for young Americans' pro-Palestine views. They disagreeEnglish
3·3 days ago“Tiktok” is when people use media old people can’t be arsed to learn about.
This is all media, new and old, that they aren’t already using.
I’m unfamiliar with Dostoevsky. In the work this is from, he is making a called-shot about humanity?
The only way to salvage it is to have the next comic criticize the name “vibe spelling” only to find out the AI-vian also suggested the name.

1·5 days agoI think I understand this position, such that you don’t want people focusing on removing the oligarchs without also dismantling the machine that makes them.
But the machine doesn’t have to crush orphans. It gives you a pat on the head and hands you a cookie each time you do crush an orphan but it has other settings. They aren’t getting punished for not exploiting the system, they just don’t get as much of a reward as they could. No one gets to say “I had no choice but to crush that 99th orphan, so I could get that 99th cookie.” You could’ve stopped at 90, or 50, or 1.
They are exploiting a broken machine, to the detriment of others, for their own benefit. That is nothing but greed.

Yeah, every country that is a world power now is looking down from a mountain of ravaged bodies.
America is only the latest, and doing so in an era where the victims can livestream back the atrocities committed in the name of the country’s “empire”.
