Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto politics @lemmy.world•I’m Absolutely Sure America Is About to Get Exactly What It Wants14·7 months agoYeah, I’m no expert but won’t Trumps tariffs on everything under the sun be much much worse than the inflation?? Manufacturing won’t come back to the USA, it’ll just shuffle around any of dozens of countries that will still be cheaper to operate out of. Also, retalitory tariffs are a thing which will harm what manufacturing IS in the USA. Also, Trump promised his rich buddies 3 trillion dollars in tax breaks. He’s going to slash health budgets (and more besides) to fund it. What are people thinking!? They’re going to fund the ultra rich from their own pockets AND pay massively more for goods while damaging local industry?! I mean there’s a million other things to worry about including mass-deportation but cost of living is about to increase BIGLY!?

Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto News@lemmy.world•Florida school district must restore books with LGBTQ+ content under settlement21·9 months agoI don’t live in the US and am not an expert on any of this State vs Fed stuff but it seems to be the case that the government at the State level CAN restrict speech and descriminate against you based on your sexual orientation? Because they’re targeting books/speech that are relavant to people, partly at least, due to them being in the LGBTQIA+ community. And it’s up to YOU to defend your right to access that speech by taking legal action? So a kind of ‘guilty until proven innocent’ adjacent scenario. I’m so confused and maybe I’m missing something but it sure FEELS like the 1st amendment is optional?
I assume they could also therefore remove books based on the race of the characters in the books or because of the subject matter being of particular relavance to people of colour? But I assume that’s happened before and been tested legally and that’s the process that’s happening now with the LGBTQIA+ book bans? Is it simply that the LGBTQIA+ community isn’t yet as robust in their advocacy, lobbying & litigation as they need to be? That they don’t have the equivalent of the NAACP on their side? Should they have to? Isn’t the 1st ammendment and anti-descrimination law pretty clear?
As someone living outside the USA, I have struggled to understand what’s going on there and why it’s allowed to happen when the 1st ammendment exists expressly to stop the government from suppressing speech, the restriction of which can be damaging to vulnerable communites. Take the story of Roy and Silo, about a same sex couple (of penguins for goodness sake?!) raising a child together. This being banned sends a message to children of same sex parents that there is something wrong with their parents / family unit. I find that disturbing enough, but to the child, it could be traumatizing. How would parents explain to their child that their favourite book has been removed from their library purely because the subject of the story is a family just like theirs?!
Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto News@lemmy.world•Kamala Harris campaign maps out 'path to victory,' raises $126 million in three days70·11 months agoGreat to see the US/Dems getting fired up with some positivity for once! There’s a strong “Let’s goooo!” vibe now! It’s incredible how right-wing influencers targeted Kamala Harris’ laugh in that video, but watching it brings nothing but joy! With all the recent grimness, I’ll take this positivity any day! :-D Kamala is memeable and is leaning into it and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just grabbed that laugh video and used it in their own campaign! :-D (I’m not a US citizen, just excited for you finally!)
Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto politics @lemmy.world•Harris, endorsed by Biden, could become first woman, second Black person to be president52·11 months agoOh he definitly WAS. Still can be on occasion. But the debate, trailing of into incoherance. Recent major gafs mixing up Putin and Zelensky and mixing up Trump and Kamala Harris?! His interview after the debate was better but not great and the harsh fact is that he’s as good as he will ever be right now and only going to get worse with time. As for the other person I was really mostly referring to, Trump has been a babbling, gush of incoherrancy for years!
Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto politics @lemmy.world•Harris, endorsed by Biden, could become first woman, second Black person to be president74·11 months agoHopefully there is potency in someone who can speak full and coherant sentences! :-D You may be right but at the very least it’ll be nice to hear lucid speech again and we’ll soon see if it’s actually effective in the current climate! Wow the bar has been set low!?

Particluarly from the point “…from the very few roles they COULD take…”. Also, there might be a case for historical accuracy and sensitivity, but sorry, the magic man flying around with his zappy hammer film doesn’t fit this criteria. Also, Hamilton says Hi!
Mishmash2000@lemmy.nzto Games@sh.itjust.works•Genshin Impact Voice Actors Join in Criticism of Upcoming Natlan Region's Character Designs - IGNEnglish11·11 months agoNo actor/actress should have their pool of potential roles made vanishingly small because of a thing they can’t change, the colour of their skin! And then on top of there being very few roles for people of colour in western pop culture based on your criteria, the very few roles they COULD take are often ALSO given to white actors/actresses in bizarre acts of whitewashing idiocy! It’s infuriating! Talent, passion, skill, training, these should be the kinds of factors involved when choosing who gets cast for what role, not where you fall on the colour wheel! It’s just crazy to me that it’s even a consideration at all and in future people will look back and be incredulous that it ever was!? At least I hope that will be the case, as we are making slow progress in that direction.
When you turned the TV on you had to wait a minute for it to ‘warm up’. The black and white image would slowly emerge out of the darkness.
When the printer ‘ran out of ink’ you wound the ribbon back onto the starting spool and ran it through again. The next time you might need to turn it upside down to get any more out of it.
It’s F2P this weekend and your progress will carry over if you decide to buy the game.
Who will stop him? Who’s going to die on that hill? He ignores Judges orders already right? I mean, I don’t know the system that well but if he just does what he wants and ignores those that usually have the power to say no, then what?
