Fine them and repossess all their assets since they are a flight risk.

The same sort of anything goes market disease that is causing severe GPU scalping. When you break and show that there should be no trust or respect for society, you begin reeking people just obsessed with exploiting the systems. And the US is so very much this now, it is a dying, decaying, heavily diseased superpower becoming authoritarian dictatorship that is only going to spread the sickness around until it is gone.

The fact is, banning X is free political points. The moment a country does it, it will domino into other countries doing it as well, and they will be seen as having been the leader and first of the movement. They should make sure users know of the federated alternatives before they do so, though.

“Transgenic sounds pretty close to transgender, and our base is full of idiots - what if we say they are transgender mice and then do that thing where we double down and laugh at the replies of our critics to get more publicity because all our base cares about is the mob mentality of joining in on the circlejerk of acting better than them even though there’s no substance to back it up?”

It can, it just isn’t going to be as good. Fortunately for the EU, most of that intelligence was only useful for soft power covert diplomacy, which Trump has thrown into the garbage.

Every accusation is an admission, all the ruckus about Hunter Biden and Ukraine now turned into crickets.

“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese

One is a leader defending their country against an invasion. The other is a leader threatening several other countries with tariffs and the slight threat of invasion. It’s clear who wants peace, those people are just in a cult whose capacity for logical leaps will never stop until the whole cult is history.

School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.

Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he’s banning from press conferences.

That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.

I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.

Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.

Where do you pull these strawmen? When and where was this happening? Gotta love lemmy and the dedicated propaganda campaign to join with MAGA to make anything and everything Trump is now doing the fault of the democrats. The good ol’ Russian pincer, attack from both sides to prop up the party you want and make those uninterested in the party you don’t want.

Yes, obviously. He isn’t just being dumb with the Canada and Greenland threats, he wants to provoke the circumstances to invoke the Insurrection Act. It’s the easiest way to bypass midterms and elections. They know what they are doing is unpopular, they know they are only maintaining the veneer of having popularity. It allows political persecution of “traitors” and “propagandists”. They aren’t casually siding with Russia, Russian authoritarianism is their model. Hope Musk gets thrown out a rocket window to make room for someone more loyal and less overbearing on Trump, he’s unpopular enough on both sides that it might actually be considered good PR by Trump.

No, he’s not getting the money. Rather, it’s the private entities that will bribe him or give him money who will end up getting the better hand from the privatization of public property like these buildings and buying them up at a steal.

If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?

I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.

Talking about a day in the stock market is akin to cloud spotting. It takes a continued and drastic trend, not just some eye raising numbers taken out of context. As much as I would be quietly gleeful for news like this because then it would mean actions have consequences, news articles often jump the gun with single digit changes that are reverted the following day. And if you look at the markets, European markets are getting hit as hard - what’s the cloud spotting rationale there? This and YT influencer feeds jumping the gun about how big Trump opposition is when the truth is it really isn’t materializing to the level it needs to be are my biggest pet peeves that make me just want to turn my head sometimes. I don’t want to hear what makes me feel good, I want to hear about news that really reflects reality.

The biggest problem with the US is lack of proportional representation. Winner-takes-all elections have led to the inevitable outcome. It’s also why in Europe the propagandists are trying to push for the same system whenever they can.
