It's worth remembering the hype cycle when it comes to these things.

Mods (and apparently the main developer of Lemmy itself) is a full-on tankie.

The $425 B number was from an Australian publication reporting in AUD. It's still 300B USD.

Some people still know how to make shitposts with deep stank .

I mean fair, but Israel does it deliberately as a matter of policy, and this criticism would never be leveled by Schumer or Biden or most democrats despite all of them knowing it's true.

The problem with manipulating a narcissist into supporting your war is that when it blows up the narcissist only really cared about himself and isn't going to adhere to pre-existing norms like "never criticising Israeli military tactics".

To be fair, it takes a long time to give you cancer and in the meantime it's really good at not catching fire. Some of the shit people did in the past seems crazy but if asbestos was discovered today we would probably do most of the same shit.

Mostly Bibi just knows how to play the game of respectability better than the freaks in his cabinet.

Making the German state officially state that this is Nazi imagery would be a worthwhile win lol.

"the greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter"

Apparently when Satya Nadella took over, Steve Ballmer told him "don't screw up". In terms of stock price and profits, he absolutely hasn't. In terms of producing products that consumers might actually want to pay for, he has failed completely and Microsoft has never been in a worse position. But those two things are completely disconnected now so it's fine.

Why have windows calculator when you can have windows calculator with AI guess what you want to calculate, get it wrong, spy on you, and use that spying to serve you targetted ads all at the same time? #innovation

"national security". On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it's their's , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It's not even alleged that he broke any laws.

The real problem is that the US doesn't have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.

You just have to control the rent by buying a gun and shooting in the air every other day.

So it's basically designed for rich people to be to ignore?

If you don't know much about investing then you shouldn't short anything ever. People who know about investing will tell you that even when your logic is 100 percent sound, the market isn't that predictable and in general the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.

All the merits of this aside, this is some hilarious banana republic nonsense right there. You absolutely should not be able to file in bumfuck, Texas any time you need a lunatic judge to make an insane ruling, and any judge appointed by the fucking plaintiff should recuse themselves and be disbarred if they don't.

Joke of a judicial system.

That's insurmountable hypocrisy. Just zero self-awareness.

Of course we can't know who all those non-voters wanted to win, but I'd rather not imply that nearly half of all americans voted for him.

Who gives a shit? Those non-voters made an active choice to not matter. Makes sense to respect that choice and ignore their existence.

People always bring this up as if it's some indication that things arent quite as bad as they seem. Why? Americans chose this in every way that matters.

"LOOK AT ME!!!" said the irrelevant person.

Still a better love story than twilight.

That guy looks like he was breastfed until he was 14.
