      Is Lemmy really loading whole images when loading a site, even though I can’t enlarge them without actually going to actual image source? What a good way to waste data.

        Only on the internet:one side of the argument posts a lengthy list of facts, and the response is simply “fuck all”

            unsourced images on a random post in the fediverse

            Bottom right of the image literally reads: “List source: whatbidenhasdone.wordpress.com

            The site isn’t as thorough with sourcing from there, but they have a blog post with various sources cited, and their twitter account is full of sources for their claims.

              No I mean a source that is easily and clearly placed in front of me that I can still complain about not being the “correct” sources. /s

                Funnily enough, I already noted in my comment that the wordpress site didn’t cite as well as I’d like. They do however have a number of sources for many of their claims (I outlined where you can find those, if you’re interested).

        The Inflation Reduction Act was a big deal internationally, but I feel like you and I have already talked about it, so I don’t want to rehash it.

        For everyone else’s safe, I’ll just say that even though it isn’t enough, Biden still achieved a historic level of funding for sustainability with the IRA, to the point that it forced European countries to pass similar legislation so their green energy companies could still be competitive with US green energy companies. I would’ve preferred to see legislation like this 15-20 years ago, but the second best time is always the present.

        The man has kept plenty of campaign promises. Pretending he’s done nothing for the American people at every level is just dishonest. People have the right to express bullshit if they choose, and I have an equal right to call it out.

        Like which things in particular? Biden has done things, and having an image with BS undermines his actual accomplishments.
