The bill raises the threshold for which the executive branch can approve an arms sale of major defense equipment without congressional notification from $14 million to $23 million
So assuming they maxed it out and only did exactly 100 transactions, that’s 2.3 billion going to IDF
23,000,000 * 100 = 2,300,000,000
Hopefully the white house is doing this for Ukraine 10fold and running a circuit around the current Russian-American Congress
I received one for a dormant account, but am Canadian so I couldn’t use their IPO insider advantage even if I wanted to
Makes me think this thing is gonna Drill immediately after launch, take everyone’s lunch, and eventually rebound (or get bought by Meta/Alphabet/Microsoft/Apple on the cheap)
1337x.to has been pretty solid
Yeah, but at least it’s not government run media /s
I’m in Canada and I find the reporting of CBC and TVO to be fairly good - and I can only imagine the news landscape when all news is 100% privately corpo owned
Not to say either are beyond reproach when it comes to powerful special interests, but that only goes to show that monopolies are terrible and have unreasonable leverage and not some nihilistic comment on the nature of man or whatever.
Is it TorrentGalaxy.to?
I’d love to find a good alternative to Rarbg, truly the end of an era
This is a good meme
Just let people live jfc.
One day I hope bigots get harassed as wholly and completely the way they feel inspired to harass others.
Religion has some great lessons and teachings for peace, but that’s never what it actually exports. It’s functionally a veil for atrocities and society needs to stop tolerating it they way it does.
I made a similar comment to another thread, but I’ve been having login issues and I don’t think it posted.
I’m not sure if it’s being able to compare apples to Oranges with Lemmy, and I was very aware that the quality of reddit was lower than when I joined in like 2010. But Holy Cow is it ever bad at Reddit.
RIF is still working for me, I’m logged out and never vote or comment on Reddit anymore. But I still pop in to view local news and subreddits that don’t have the same traction here yet.
The current Reddit experience is terrible. All the comments feel like opinion wedge bots stating divisive opinions that aren’t engaging with anyone.
All the top/best sorted comments are a few minutes old and largely irrelevant. Seems like reddit is pushing bot/chat GPT content to replace migration users.
I’d rather be on a buggy platform, talking to real people, who disagree or not, are engaging in real discussion.
Going to reddit when I’ve crushed through most hot topics on Lemmy really drives home what makes a social platform good, and what makes a social platform bad.
Hopefully Reddit doesn’t fully migrate here and it can serve it’s new purpose of being a social cesspool trap for special interest bots.
Getting the same news from Lemmy has provided a comparison that allowed me to see exactly how toxic Reddit currently is.
The wolf from the neverending story freaked me right out when I was smol. Returned it to blockbuster and then rented Mr. Bean instead, so huge win
The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.
They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.
So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.
If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.
Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?
