I'm pretty sure most of those people are dead.

What's the solution to lasting peace? Restore rule to the Ottomans or British?

I agree, this is bad logic. That said, that's not what I hear from the current regime when I hear them talking about tariffs. What I hear is them thinking this will force countries to lower barriers to Americans doing business abroad. Once those barriers are lowered, tariffs are reduced or go away altogether. For the record, I do not think this is good policy, but the intent of the policy (at lease as I read it) isn't to suddenly move all manufacturing back to the United States.

President Biden also took a lot of flack from Europe when he maintained trade in Russian uranium despite their putting rules into effect concerning Russian oil. There are a few things that both parties aren't willing to give us regarding Russia.

It was about the weaponization of the algorithm whereby China could incite Americans to act against the nation in a time of crisis or war.

I still know a bunch of conservatives who are still boycotting them over the trans bathroom issue.

I remember the early days of Reddit when it really felt like a community project. Back then, they had the goodwill necessary that Redditors would have personally financed a chunk of the costs of running particular Subreddits. Not anymore. That goodwill is gone.

I have a little pull in my group of friends. I've got 11 kids and I make them use Briar (SMS is removed from the phones) and so their friends end-up getting Briar and then their friends' parents have also gotten it. So we have a nice little circle of people using it.

The news media is just feeding his narcissistic needs. Want to know what would really piss him off? If we forgot he existed for a week or two.

Is your employer matching some percentage of what you add to your 401k?

Is it possible to skip account creation by installing while not connected to the internet?

I'd consider using them if I didn't need to use a phone number to register. My friends and family stick with Briar as a result.

I also sort by top six hours but subs related to my profession or religious traditions both get too much outside noise from folks who view posts by 'all' and feel welcome to flood subs with comments contrary to the intent of the sub. Active moderation could help but there's just not good moderation under most subs.

IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there's some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.

Q. "Who is my neighbor?

Genocide, no, but the level of crime there is incredible.

This smells like 1929.

I normally stick with Firefox but, when there's the need, I use degoogled Chromium.

It might be different with Tesla but most dealerships are independent from the company manufacturing the vehicles. Dealerships typically also run the service shop and have to carry their own insurance.

Beyond that, identity politics stopped being just minorities and has become part of white male politics.
