It's as bad as Elon is saying! He's just upset it isn't worse, he was promised it would be worse, and that he'd get a lot of money, but they left him out so he's really disappointed.
No... It's just laziness let's not sugar coat it. You have the wealth of human knowledge in your pocket, knowledge of how to do absolutely anything and everything for free on a silver platter, all you have to do is prioritize exploring ethical technology choices. Complexity of the problem itself is not a good excuse to not learning to solve it as it continues to become a bigger problem.
Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful?
Both deliver genocide and destruction and a foreign policy that's destroying the world, but one has a slight lead in not being awful (your words), and that's reason to cheer for them?
To be very clear: that's a disgusting position. It's literally the same position as them (fuck everyone else, I want mine, the rest of the world can burn and die and be bombed by my tax dollars, I just want my Amazon prime and Starbucks), it's just this murder cult has a bigger circle that fits your friends too.
Biden is our literal Hitler, when we (Palestinians) write our history books on the genocide, we will not leave our any detail and we won't let him rest in peace.
He mocked our suffering as he have Israel unlimited power to destroy all of our life in Gaza, and Trump doesn't get the credit for it, he inherited it from Biden.
Unless you want to give credit to everything good he inherited from Biden too? I didn't think so. Stay consistent!
Genocide Joe is the reason we're here, his genocide is literally the trigger for everything we're dealing with today, and you still think he's the lesser of two evils. There is no lesser, there is only evil with these two parties.
These bombs are not just dead weights. These bunker busters are equipped with precision guidance and fly to and hit a person on the head if they desired. It's also designed to deliver a huge explosion AFTER it penetrates with the kinetic impact.
It can also be set to explode right before impact, like Israel really likes to do when attaching residential high-rises, to deliver maximum destruction and death.
It'll take another decade for some of you to realize Bernie and AOC are just as ineffective and just as much part of the neo-lib machine that keeps us going further right.
AOC isn't saving us, she just gives you the illusion someone is fighting for you. She's allowed to vent on your behalf.
Does that propaganda line make sense if you think about it deeply? Stop repeating it!
Let me explain. The whole idea that North Korea "threatens the world to extract aid" is pure Western propaganda. It completely ignores history and the actual situation on the ground.
First off, the Korean War never officially ended. They signed an armistice in 1953, not a peace treaty. So North Korea has been living under constant military threat from the US and its allies for over 70 years. That includes nukes pointed at them and massive military exercises happening right near their borders.
Second, North Korea is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries on the planet. Those sanctions, pushed by the US, have crippled their economy and blocked access to food, medicine, and basic resources. When they try to negotiate for food or economic assistance, it gets framed as extortion, but the reality is they are trying to survive in a system designed to isolate and starve them.
Their missile tests and military displays are not random threats. They are a form of deterrence. Even mainstream scholars like John Mearsheimer recognize that smaller, isolated states under constant threat will use military posturing to prevent invasion.
On top of that, the history of negotiations shows it is often the US that breaks agreements. Look at the 1994 Agreed Framework. It collapsed largely because the US failed to follow through, not because North Korea suddenly decided to flip the table.
Leftist voices like Noam Chomsky have been saying for decades that the outrage over North Korean weapons is pure hypocrisy. The US has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world and uses its military power to bully smaller nations constantly.
Bottom line, the "they threaten to get aid" narrative strips away all context. It is designed to justify aggression and keep dehumanizing them. It ignores that North Korea's actions are shaped by decades of sanctions, military threats, and isolation.
Actually, Firefox version numbers were totally independent for most of their history, but Mozilla recently adjusted them to roughly align with Chromium versions to reduce confusion for developers.
2004 - Firefox 1.0, no Chrome yet
2010 - Firefox 4.0, Chrome around version 8
2011 - Firefox switches to rapid releases
2020 - Firefox and Chrome both around version 85, just by coincidence
2024 - Firefox jumps from 124 to 126 to align with Chrome 126
2025 - Firefox 126+, Chrome 126+, version numbers now track similarly
They are literally not the same. Lobbying is when you try to convince someone and influence their voting/law making etc. Bribing is paying to set the prioritising and define what is important. However, bribing may also be done for noble causes, prohibiting bribes is limiting the opportunity for all kinds of actors to ensure their cause isn't deprioritized in a harmful way.
They're literally the same, we just legalized using money to set the agenda and made a new word for it.
All the voting Democrats that still haven't read a history book and still think Clinton was the greatest president of their lifetime, and complete ignorance of how much him and his wife are directly responsible for ALL the deep shit we're in today.
Unless you think about it of course, then you realize in reality actually only one country and its client-state currently goes around bombing other countries it doesn't even border and slaughtering civilians while celebrating it as "national security", and that's the US (and Israel, literal Jewish ISIS).
You disagree with the current war, the entire world is on fire because of US imperialism and colonization, and you can't distance yourself from all the benefits and pride you get from the "good side" of America.
Just like you can't separate America from it's history of being built on the backs of slaves and the institutional oppression that still comes from that, you can't separate your current comforts as an American from their direct causes: oppression and stealing the resources of other nations and using all your "most deadly military's" best stealth bombers and biggest bombs to bully the world through threats of regime change and economic sanctions. Trump isn't what's bad about America, he's just an accelerated conclusion to neo-liberal politics, this is Bill Clinton's America!
