So what if all the desks are set up with thin or zero clients.

So you think it will just never be used in mainstream media like I was saying?

I didn’t say what I believed, I was discussing the usage of the term tankie in mainstream media. If it were used, I would assume western media would voice it with the red scare propaganda that is always pushed. With the media conglomerates jostling to find a way to fall in line with Trump’s administration I figure they’d label anything left of them a violent communistic extremest group.

This is why I don’t think this term will ever really leave usage on the internet moving forward.(not talking about historical use in GB and such). It seems many people believe it means something different. Not that I want it to be a mainstream media term.

Not that stack exchange users are the end all be all of what one should believe is correct, but this was what they showed as their agreed definition.

The parts about supporting the aggressive putting down of a rebellion with tanks is what usually has people tie in the supporting authoritarian violence. If you look at it from the other side one would would argue the ends justified the means which was to stop an escalation and thus a possible war as well. So really all sides of the term were going to be tied to aggression and supporting one mindedness ruling over another.

I don’t see anyone using it as a compliment for anyone anytime soon

I thought it had to include the pro authoritarian and often pro war aspect of it. So a Marxist/communist or what not wouldn’t fall into tankies without the call for an authoritarian leader like Stalin.

The building likely has walls that go 6-8ft up passed the actual roof. The HVAC units and such sit on the roof exposed to the elements. I’ve been on several roofs like that

They are blindly claiming these kids are murderers and rapists yet all the mass killings / school shootings are done by U.S. citizens.

It seems like they are projecting and one must discern that CBP and ICE must be full of murders and rapists then.

We need to deport all CBP and ICE workers for being murderous rapists immediately. This rampant filth is targeting children and innocent parents across our Great nation. ICE is eating the dogs! CBP is invading our homes, stealing their valuables! We need to put a stop to it. These organizations are under the order of a man known and convicted of sexual assault and blatant felony charges taking advantage of the companies and people of our beautiful country.

Arrest them all!

Yeah but pixelfed is coming out with loops, it’s been on beta for awhile, that is basically Tik Tok with no ads or government/big tech ownership. I personally feel like that could have taken a giant chunk of the Tik Tok users and kept them from having to learn to read ideograms to access content they wanted. I don’t personally use that format of social media but I tried it on Android and it looks just like Tik Tok looked that I have seen on others devices.

Yarp, been fucking every working class person in America for years. Yayyyy

I disagree with the decrease in discussion quality. Votes inherently create echo chambers. We have low effort conversations where we all downvote someone whose opinion is different and it makes them feel whatever kind of way, and they act accordingly. Whether it be leave, lash out, or discuss. If it wasn’t built in and someone wouldn’t already know I would say it is a bad idea, but since it will exist, making it so people learn to be civil is probably best.

It is information provided to the instance runners, mods, and other fedeverse platforms such as mastodon. It inherently tracks such to know if a user has previously liked/up voted an entry.

So you may have a conversation on here, and some users will know who is downvoting, some will only know who’s upcoming, and some will know none

Who declared war via a social media platform? That sounds like horrible military strategy

Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym “Fast” for quick recognition.

Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack

Arms - hold up arms if one falls…

Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly

Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn’t have time
