I’ve yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election
Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.
Well yeah, it depends exactly what kind of social bubble you are in. If you are in a right wing bubble, you would be led to believe that Mamdani is a woke Muslim terrorist commie.
As a Batman fan, it just occurred to me that I really hope Netflix won’t ruin the IP if they get the chance to buy WB.
There’s a concept in law enforcement whereby arresting one person dissuades others from doing similar things.
It doesn’t even have to be about being arrested. The threat of lawsuit, broadcasting licences not being renewed, or business acquisition of a media company by another not being approved by the government elicits enough fear to corporate journalists. These are done well before using threat of arrest to suppress free press.
So the real investment from Tesla is the company stealing from government resources!!
I see this meme all the time, which is an oversimplification. The 250 year time frame that people ascribe to is usually assigned to a country’s lifetime, but really, the time frame is the average length of a golden era of a country, not its existence. Rome lasted for 2,000 years and China today still exists. When the Chinese talk about this “250 year” thing, they would refer back to how long certain dynasties ruled, not China’s existence. Same with Rome having had its peak come and go while it existed until 1453. France also has had several golden ages as the bigger power in Europe from middle ages to Napoleonic era.
America won’t cease to exist, but it will not be the power it once was, and that’s okay (except for the ultranationalists). It’s okay to be humble.
It can be hard to discern what is good or bad advise, especially if you are less experienced, young, and also if the advise came from an authority figure in your life, such as a parent as mentioned in the post. Yes, I am speaking from experience, my parents gave extremely bad advise when I was growing up. How was I supposed to know they’re bad advise to begin with? I was too young to know they’re practically bad until I followed and it put me in trouble. And now as an adult and gained my own experience after countering what they say, it was only then I realised their insistent advise (read: instructions) are projections of their own insecurities and unresolved trauma. I have a schadenfreude now that they regret how they parented. I don’t exactly blame my parents, they grew up in an authoritarian culture where absolute obedience and conformity are paramount. But even so, I am wary if I get kids someday and let my parents babysit them. I don’t know what kind of nonsense they’ll say and teach to the kids, especially that my mom is superstitious.
Even the “good ones” eventually turn evil.
A study did show before that people from either political side fundamentally don’t understand each other, which leaves both sides stereotyping each other and polarisation.
You underestimate how crazy fundamentalists are. For them, it’s worth dying if it saves the fetus, because for them a fetus is a living and breathing child.
Release a new Splinter Cell game!
Screw it, just name and shame the company.
Authoritarians learned that 1984-style totalitarian control doesn’t work anymore; so they tried Brave New World’s control through psychological pleasure, and it is more successful than ever imagined.
So that explains why some entries on companies don’t mention about their unscrupulous history.
I’m quite a fan of AI actually for only the small things. I mainly use it for stock price projections, looking for earnings report and prospecting for potential stocks to buy. I still verify the information of course. But I still want the AI bubble to pop because it is soooo overrated and I could bet on shorting the crash.
ICE agent: But these are illegal immigrants who are gang members trafficking drugs into the country!
Sane people: So why aren’t you arresting them instead of children, and shooting white people even?
ICE agent: … takes out gun
That explains about my work laptop. I swear that I clicked shutdown before I went on two week Christmas holidays!
MAGA: Isn’t my citizenship obvious? points at white skin
That’s true, but the announcement is more like a warning, to be fair. She’s warning ICE but if the moment comes, we’ll see if she keeps her word.
