Reminds me of this scene in Bowling for Columbine where the brother of Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols reluctantly concedes that there should be some limits to the right to bear arms.

I was thinking that might be a fake quote, but no, it is actually what Chirac says Bush said to him while trying to convince him to join the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

when i browse my lemmy profile via your mastodon instance i see that my first post of this same wikipedia article (to !wikipedia@lemmy.ml) does render correctly there - it is only this cross-post i made to !wikipedia@lemmy.world which has the wrong preview. (if you figure out why, i’d be curious to know!)

why is this the OG preview

no idea, that is odd. from searching i see that that preview comes from this post from 2023 (who’s permalink is on a domain which no longer runs lemmy; the instance which was feddit.de is now feddit.org).

if you look at my post made today here on lemmy.ml it has the correct thumbnail from wikipedia.

This post caused me to look up what changed: sadly they aren’t exiting the consumer space but rather are just ceasing to include lane-keeping in their basic package to instead require new customers who want it to pay a monthly subscription fee for what they amusingly call “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”.

is it time for a Windows edition of the classic Jamiroquai sound meme?

howard’s awkward canard

If you are not able to rationally argue why we shouldn’t be bigoted, I don’t know what to tell you.

it’s not that people can’t, but spaces which have unlimited tolerance for sealions suggesting that it’s necessary to argue about that are likely to have less interesting discussions than spaces which do not 🙄

But don’t call it an anarchist space

tell me you’ve never been in a non-internet anarchist space without telling me 😂

(hint: offline anarchist bars tend not to tolerate fascists either)

rules of anarchism

😭

(this is a bit, right?)

It’s ironic you state it like this, since we are an explicitly anarchist server ;)

it’s not really ironic as i am well aware that you are and i appreciate you for that :)

what i’m saying is that i’m glad that, despite obviously being a (fellow!) proponent of freedom of expression, you haven’t fallen victim to the childish line of thought which leads some people to let their spaces become nazi bars. so: thanks!

unmoderated internet spaces are quickly overrun with bigotry, csam, and spam.

if, in the name of “free speech”, you only moderate the csam and spam, the space will be primarily occupied by people looking for a forum that welcomes bigotry.

respect to @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for rm’ing bigotry and not letting childish anarchist free speech ideals cause lemmy.dbzer0.com to be a nazi bar 🥂

As for the significance of Melania Trump presiding over the Security Council meeting, Dujarric called it “a sign of the importance that the United States feels towards the Security Council and the subject.”

🤔

Ivanka Trump attended the UNGA and had meetings there but did not preside over it.

Also the President of Spain says (firefox translated) “We reject the unilateral military action of the U.S. and Israel, which is an escalation and contributes to a more uncertain and hostile international order.” but then goes on to also reject Iran’s (unspecified) actions.

Like Finland’s it’s a pretty tame condemnation, but noteworthy coming from NATO member states.

The President of Finland actually went a little off script
