It’s usually not subtle, and are almost always outright lies. Statements along the lines of ‘Ukraine is infested with Nazis, so invasion was justified’, ‘The threat of Ukraine joining NATO caused the war’, ‘Russia is the new Rome’, etc.

According to this article, it’s been ongoing since the early 20th century.

This is solid defeatist bullshit. Trump can’t put everyone in prison. If Trump won’t back down, the people will step up. The protests are just getting started.

It’s time for a long and peaceful protest near the Whitehouse until Trump steps down.

Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve had a Steam Deck for a few years, and it runs Linux. I have come to the conclusion that I could easily switch at any time if I needed to. Windows only has an an advantage when hot swapping between my office and TV dock. Linux just doesn’t yet handle desktop resizing on the fly well.

Also only happens before elections and in communities with a lot of users. They don’t go in to small and moderately sized groups geared toward specific topics.

The assets are easy to spot because they spout Russian propaganda, are more articulate, show up suspiciously early in threads, and often post when it is night in the USA. I generally assume the threads with a sheer mass of early comments spouting Russian propaganda are bots, since they have bad grammar, and almost never respond. I guess they could just be from a huge troll farm with bad grammar that almost never response to comments.

During Trump’s first term I was convinced that he would try to increase revenue from student loans, so I converted mine to a low interest private loan.

Sadly low interest private options are no longer available for those still stuck in the federal student loan system. The administration knows that low interest private loans are no longer an option, and has a captive market to extract revenue from.

Trump has been grooming his supporters to cheer actions taken against the educated. I hope this move alienates millennial and younger college educated Republicans and finally turns them against the administration.

Yes. I noticed it. It’s maddening. On certain things, half or more if the posts are Russian assets or bots. Reddit could do something about it, but in classic corporate fashion, the Russians increased their user engagement metrics, so they won’t do anything about it.

Satellite internet is simply never going to best the throughput and stability of fiber. Just another corrupt action so this administration can line their pockets.
