Considering they’re being actively and without denial used to fuck us over, yes. I’m not going to play the censorship card. The US is now no better than Russia, there’s no reason we should treat them better. US platforms are now literally an offensive weapon, Musk already started riots over fake news and is directly and openly meddling in our politics. This shit needs to stop. Just like we blocked RT news, this needs to go.

It’s in the same vein like Trump threatening military action against Greenland. Trump is literally committing extortion under the treat of war. The US is an actively hostile nation that targets everyone including their own allies. Like what the actual fuck? How did we get here? We need to decouple from the US as soon as possible. I’d go as far as compare the US to a ravid animal on the international stage, I’m absolutely mortified by what’s going on.

Jesus christ, it’s been months! Why aren’t ee protecting our selves? Ban and sanction Elon! What’s with the wait? We rarely wait THIS long to act on Russian or Chinese bullshit, and THEY TRY TO HIDE IT!

I occasionally do the same with an album I know takes almost exactly 1 hour to play. Have it in the background and roughly know what time it is.

The US has no extradition treaty with China (or similar). So that would likely fall under spying and the “coercing a New Jersey man wanted by Beijing into returning to China” part is very much a major step over the line.

Edit: Also jeez people, he’s just asking relatively reasonable questions form ignorance, stop tearing him a new one! Being wrong shouldn’t immediately be cause for such backslash.

That’s the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. “What did he really do?” Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it’s China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It’s iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

Omfg, it finally dawned on me. The reason the stocks when up when Trump got elected. These fucking ghouls really see any excuse to increase prices as a win. Jesus fucking christ… There’s no stop until enough people will literally drop dead.

How’s this news? That’s literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called “Temporary Hardships”. They promised and they’re going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

Shortage of bus drivers solved by a fleet of regular drivers. Lol. I’m at a lose for words at how badly managed the US is.

There’s a big difference between giving away 99.975% of your wealth, leaving your self with what 1 person can OPTIMISTICALLY make in a lifetime for retirement, and allowing people to scarp half of whatever is left after your life of destruction.

Not only does that mean Gate’s grand children have a grandpa with unimaginable wealth and power, but half of that is still in the family and all of them and their children’s children are all set for an absolute decadent life even if they all decide to never move another muscle ever again. All while the world continues to burn rapidly, waiting for the dragon to bleed.

This is the bare minimum, and they only do it to gain sympathy and trick us into believing they aren’t evil.

Ok, so fucking as many women as possible in a short amount of time, literally the gayest thing one can do. Understood.

That’s the strongest incel cope I’ve ever heard, god damn…

Also find it funny that MAGA and similar seem to be the most confused about gender, despite claiming it to be quite clear, only 2. But like, does fucking around make your wife a man or you a woman? Also since we’re swapping genders on the fly, does MAGA now support trans people??? XDDD

I’m still surprised that taxing the rich is such a difficult bill to pass. Assuming we live in a democracy, the 1% shouldn’t be able to have such sway over the population.

The realization that most of my family, given the rise of fascism, would be fascist enablers. Same with like 90% of the people at work.

The launch of this games is a tragedy. Such a neat indie game that almost died due to hype and lies.

That’s rich. “Send your future down the drain while we continue to send scraps.” tho even the scraps are gonna run dry soon. Fuck biden. He could have gone down in history as a truly great leader, got everything handed to him on a silver platter, but clearly, he wishes to walk in Chamberlin’s shoes.

Honestly I’m ashamed, especially as a European, we should be doing so much more. We haven’t learned anything from the great wars… We’re experiencing a “what if Czechoslovakia fought back” scenario, we can end it right there in Ukraine. But no…

That’s fucking sad. Aren’t these religious zealots usually really distrustful of technology? Curious that they suddenly don’t mind having a machine record their confessions.

I love how people are debating this as if it’s not a well understood concept. Can’t wait till we get headlines like “1/4 of people belive a bullet to the head might possibly be fatal in some cases”.

Assuming we can get AGI. So far there’s been little proof we’re any closer to getting an AI that can actually apply logic to problems that aren’t popular enough to be spelled out a dozen times in the dataset it’s trained on. Ya know, the whole perfect scores on well known and respected collage tests, but failing to solve slightly altered riddles for children? It being literally incapable of learning new concepts is a pretty major pitfall if you ask me.

I’m really sick and tired of this “we just gotta make a machine that can learn and then we can teach it anything” line. It’s nothing new, people were saying this shit since fucking 1950 when Alan Turing wrote it in a paper. A machine looking at an unholy amount of text and evaluation based on a new prompt, what is the most likely word to follow, IS NOT LEARNING!!! I was sick of this dilema before LLMs were a thing, but now it’s just mind numbing.

Just another cost of running business.

I strangely find my self praising apple lately. Not because they’re good or because I stopped hating their guts. But just because microsoft has become SOO SHIT!

Apple has also cough up in many regards, tho I’m talking mainly phones here now.

While I swear by Linux, I’m now more likely to recommend MacOS over Windows to people.
