I'm really hoping someone runs against him in the primary. I would say anyone, but then I remember anti-vaxxer extraordinaire RFK Jr is planning on running and also orb lady is still out there. So maybe not anyone, but there's plenty of actually good candidates that could run against Biden.

I feel like I once again have to ask why? Why does Israel need these weapons so badly that you have to bypass even Congressional approval? Republicans wouldn't exactly oppose such an approval, they haven't shown any lack of support for supporting Israel, just Ukraine. And Israel certainly doesn't need the weapons for defense, as claimed by the State Department in the article.

Israel is very handedly and with minimal resistance killing thousands of Palestinians. They don't really need any additional arsenals.

Unless this is in preparation for Netanyahu's claimed invasion of Lebanon and beyond? Is Biden openly supporting the expansion of the conflict?

I wonder how ad view counts are affected when you actively drive away your hard core content posting audience? Hmm...

No, it has jurisdiction in the EU. And Lemmy is a part of the EU jurisdiction.

Unless the devs want to block everyone in the EU from accessing the site.

Sure. Lemmy does have such a presence though.

It's been a problem for a while. Considering major social media companies have already gotten massive fines from the EU for violating the GDPR, maybe the lemmy devs will put more effort in setting up a deletion system once the EU sends them a fine for breaking the law?

The GDPR is a required to comply EU law for all websites in their jurisdiction. You can't get away with claiming "but people choose to join the website".

Many other websites and even major social media sites have gotten fined and other sanctions put against them already for violating it.

I feel like they should also have experimental groups of children and the elderly, to see whether age also has an effect on hormonal responses.

I suppose that applies both in regards to tears from and how tears affect. Hmm, I can see this getting rather complicated and extensive.
