Fading? Global support is about as visible as God during the holocaust.

The country is facing countless problems. Corruption, lack of infrastructure, deep poverty. And what do these fuckers focus on? Stopping buttsex. >.<

Tbf, I don’t think he’s lying about his explicit desire to a dictator.

I feel ya. I think that for mild mental health issues, simply giving people an acceptable excuse for “not having to fit in the box,” probably does more than the actual treatment.

I strongly believe that a friend of mine has undiagnosed ADHD. The degree to which everyone around him keeps saying, “he’s not atypical, he just to stop being a fuck up and commit to something” is frustrating. My man needs treatment, not tough love.

I sometimes wonder if these tech bros are truly oblivious to how stupid their ideas are, or if it’s a deliberate con intended to fleece tech-illiterate investors.

I suppose it’s a little of column A and a little of column B, but I do wonder which is more prevalent.

Well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions.

Newt, probably not.

Why would we call bombings of a densely populated area with the express intent of killing and frightening residents into submission terrorism? /s

Which is in line with most other UBI experiments. How many more experiments do we need until politicians just acknowledge that this is good policy and we need to start implementing it?

This is a pretty empty threat. Realistically speaking the US cannot escalate without facing huge domestic backlash. Public support for US involvement in a new war in a is nonexistent, given the abject an expensive failures of the recent afghan and iraqi wars.

Add the fact that any iranian involvement would go through hezbollah, gives both the us government and iran a way to plausibly deny iranian involvement. The US will do nothing. They might send some troop to “support” israel. They already have. Which is a token gesture at best.

Keyword is yet. Given enough time, Israel will find “evidence” of their involvement.

Republican voters. The Republican party has degraded to a point where their biggest selling point is “pwning the libz”.

If McCarthy survived this with Democratic help, he’d be labeled a Democrat stooge (i.e. someone who believes in cooperating with the libz, instead of pwning them).

Every comprise position he proposes after that would face internal Republican voter critique along the lines of: “is this the best deal he could get, or is he doing this to help the democrats?”

For years now, republicans have been selling the idea that working with democrats is bad or at best a necessary evil. Publicly asking for democratic cooperation goes against years of propoganda.

I don’t know who needs to hear this:
Unity sucks, but death threats are not okay.

If you really want to stop shit like this, vote in progressive legislators. So we can codify the fact that corporate actions influence more ppl than just the shareholders and their actions should reflect that.

Edit: thanks everyone for correcting me. I meant not okay.

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s ppl sayin something should have been done yesterday.

Guess what, if should have been done yesterday, we’ve missed the deadline, we’ve already failed and might as wel write off the project.

As much as I agree that decent public transport is significantly preferable to autonomous cars, this video is a bit of a straw man argument.

Self driving cars will never beat trains/busses on efficiency. But that’s not why people like them. The major selling point is the illusion we can sustainably keep living in spread out suburbs.

Trains will not stop at the doorstep of your mcMansion. Trains will not allow you to comfortably carry your biweekly Costco shopping. Trains will not provide you the luxury of traveling from point A to B without ever having to come in contact with the plebs.

Unfortunately, he kind of admits as much in the end of the video. Where says that self driving cars will entrench suburbia and will work in sparsely populated areas.

He’d have been better off focusing on the economics of self driving cars. E.g. how the vegas hyper loop is an insanely expensive money sink, unneeded musk subsidy, and just plain doesn’t work.

So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?

So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.

These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.

Dude is worth like a billion dollars. Why would he want to be talk show host?

Besides that the fact that running for pres, can theoretically be used as a springboard into conservative media, what was their argument?

The dude is right though. The most important part of being a programmer is designing an elegant solution. That requires talking the problem through, solliciting feedback, getting ideas… you meeting with ppl and talking to them.

The second most important part of being a programmer is realizing that you’re not doing this alone. Once again, you talking to colleagues to discuss what they can expect and when, likewise what you need and when.

Meetings are super important. Unless your a code monkey or if it’s office gossip or me having to spend an hour explaining why a job estimated to take 4 weeks will not be done next Friday. And no, “trying a little harder” or “realizing how important this to the client” isn’t going to change that.

Tbh, this is what I’m thinking. No way Prigozhin would just go back to Russia without an exit plan. Any sane person knows that accidental death is the only way this would end.

Why wait for Putin to kill you, if you could just do it yourself?

Alternatively, it would make sense if this is part of deal he made to call off the coup. Putin promises to fake kill him, Prigozhin promises to stay fake dead.
