YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

MODERATORS
 

WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

If I was the the maga or republicans right now I would fund as many leftist third parties as possible as the best way to secure a trump victory

See also: Forward party, both parties have lots of catchy slogans about working together or moving forward. Yet no platform.

And they will.

The problem is they don't have to lie about how bad Democrats have been for the people. (Not that Republicans would be any better, mind you.)

Most Americans have seen their cost of living jump 30%-50% under Joe Biden, and Biden's response is to send $100 billion overseas to fight another country's war, not to give a dime of aid to people here who actually need it.

Are you seriously claiming that Ukrainians do not need help? Try losing your kid to a bomb on a pizza restaurant. Wonder how the real estate market in Mariupol is.

So does Yemen, but you know what the US has been doing? Helping Saudi Arabia starve and decimate the country for the last eight years.

And your fellow Americans are being neglected in order to fund all of this. I'm not sure why it's such a radical notion that maybe, just maybe that hundred billion should be used to benefit our own people instead of funding yet another war.

Dont forget funding Israel to do the same thing to Palestine that they say the Russians are doing to Ukraine.

They don't speak of such things when a Democrat is in charge.

There's a remarkable level of racism in the level of concern for Ukraine vs. somewhere with less white and European people like Yemen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The war in Ukraine is definitely easier to market, and I think that's why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And it infuriates me how war - people getting killed and cultural heritage being destroyed - is so capitalized like that.

Pretty sure it was the same deal with Vietnam back in the day, actually.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great post. I feel for the people of Ukraine, the Russian aggression is not acceptable, but it is their war not our war {though we are doing as much as possible to make it out war).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

There's just a part of me that gets really frustrated with how generally ignorant our people are of US warmongering worldwide, and they see the nightly news broadcasts about Ukraine and they've bought into the narrative.

Reminds me of when Bush I pushed the lie about babies being killed in Iraqi hospitals in order to get more public support for his war, and the endless funding that came with it.
