This was the Anglican Catholic church, not the Vatican Catholic church.

Except "free market" ideals break down when there are high barriers to entry, like... chip fabrication.

Also, that's already what's happening? If you don't want to pay for nVidia, you can get AMD or Intel ARC for cheaper. So again, there's literally no reason for nVidia to change what they're doing.

That's what I said.

If a GPU and a hypothetical AiPU are the same tech, but nVidia could charge more for the AiPU, then why would they make and sell GPUs?

It's the same reason why they don't clamp down on their pricing now: they don't care if you are able to buy a GPU, they care that Twitter or Tesla or OpenAI are buying them 10k at a time.

Okay, but then why would anyone make non-AiPUs if the tech is the same and they could sell the same amount at a higher cost?

Can we get someone like Ted Lieu to point out that a geological survey done shows the mountain would be in danger of collapse if any more carving is done to it, but instead we could put him on, say Stone Mountain in Georgia? You know, with the rest of the traitors?

Yeah, Republicans are fucking braindead racists.

Noncitizens in your locality use resources, same as citizens. Under their bullshit, a town that had 1 citizen and 10,000 immigrants would be horribly mismanaged.

Which is probably the point, actually.

Despite the Zionist rhetoric, Hamas != Palestine.

Saying "The Palestinians deserve to have a land of their own" is not the same as saying "I support Hamas."

Fun fact: nearly 40% of all foodborne illnesses were caused by raw milk consumption. Pasteurization has reduced that number down to less than 1%, except in places where raw milk consumption is still allowed.

Science-denying anti-intellectualism mixed with "you can't tell me what to do!"

They want the clusterfuck. Remember, the whole goal is to break the government and install Trump as king.

I definitely get where you're coming from. But the judicial system has so completely failed us (bullshit interpretations of laws, pushing right-wing jurisprudence, ignoring obvious corruption of SCOTUS justices, not holding Trump responsible for fucking *anything") that it's hard to not be satisfied when one of these traitors gets any kind of justice.

The same reason we cheered when Luigi (allegedly) shot the UH CEO.

Some people make the world a better place by leaving it.

What exactly stops him from having these people forcibly removed and/or their access to government resources cut, their paychecks held, their clearances revoked, etc? Who is in charge of those things that can stand up to that?

What stops him is people willing to ignore obviously illegal demands, and the more people that stand up to him the more people will be encouraged to do the same. Now, if Trump openly defies court orders and the executive branch has enough sycophants in it that they're willing to help him, then it becomes up to us to solve that problem.

The Inspectors General that Trump is trying to fire basically told him to fuck off.

Under a law passed in 2022 (you know, when the Dems were doing nothing 🙄) the president has to give Congress 1) 30 days notice of firing an IG and 2) enumerate the reasons why that IG was being fired. The second any reason is given to Congress these people are going to sue for wrongful termination since it's blatantly obvious to everyone Trump is trying to rid the government of anyone who could hold him accountable.

It's not confusing when you learn that it's literally the most profitable tier for Netflix. They make more per user from ad-subsidized subscriptions than they do from the ad-free subs.

All they have to do is the dance of "how much can we charge for subs and how many ads can we show before people stop paying for this tier?"

Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

Not all presidents, just... One.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said a facility built on this farmland recently bought by Texas will be the final stop for processing migrants

Tells people to take a biology class.

Doesn't know that "gonads" refer to the reproductive glands of both male and female organisms.

Trump exhibits zero-sum thinking- if someone else is getting something, that means he is losing something. Thus if Carter is getting respect, Trump thinks he is losing respect.
