World News@lemmy.world•MPs warn that UK agreements with Donald Trump are ‘built on sand’English
18·3 days agoI mean… yeah. Any agreement that he’s ever made is built on sand. It’s kind of his whole thing. He’s a con artist. Also a narcissistic psychopath.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiberEnglish
32·5 days agoDo you… seriously think you’ve found a “gotcha” moment…? What even is this diatribe? You’re jumping to conclusions that are in a different goddamn timezone.
I mean that Taco Bell is ass-tier Mexican, and it’s very easy to find better quality Mexican food. And solid Mexican food is delicious. Excellent Mexican food (and Chinese, and… well, seriously, name any cuisine) is one of the few things I miss about living in Los Angeles.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiberEnglish
152·5 days agoTaco Bell is “Mexican food” in the same way that French fries are “French food”. Which is to say: it’s not.
And Taco Bell gives you the shits because it’s fairly poor quality, not because of any ethnic lean that its offerings are marketed with

World News@lemmy.world•China would destroy US military in fight over Taiwan, top secret document warnsEnglish
6·8 days agoIt’s not fear mongering. It’s a real area-denial weapons system capability that the PRC initially deployed in 1991, and upgraded the terminal weapon into a hypersonic glide body in 2015. Lob a few of those at a CVN and it’s probably going to the bottom of the ocean.

10·15 days agoIt’s insane that we defined a bunch of the things he and his circle are saying as “white supremacist stuff” back in the decades following the civil rights era, and now I guess we’ve decided as a society that that’s just an okay thing again?

Tangentially, I’m curious to see how ticket sales crater from international visitors compared to years past, due to our the absolutely unhinged customs/border policies the regime has introduced (and is actively making more extreme).
As a unitedstatesian, look into the wildly changed and extremely invasive entry/visa requirements before you consider visiting. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t - and I say that out of respect for privacy and human rights, not any sense of xenophobia. Shit is getting very weird here in a very bad way, if you’ve not been paying attention.
