Russia needs Iranian weapons for Ukraine, and they can't get them if Iran has to use them their selves and can't make more if production facilities are destroyed...

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Russia could just shrug and claim no one knows how Iran has them, no one is going to hold them accountable for it.

Yeah, the whole point was to show feudual society was fucking stupid.

No one bout a square meter of land and started going to the Queen's brunches.

It was to mock the people that unironically wanted to be called a Lord in modern day.

Yeah. They don't need to ship a whole ICBM, they just need to move the payload.

Which if you wanted to, could fit on a normal truck.

NK shares borders with Russia and China, Russia would 100% let them smuggle a nuke thru Russia.

Russia and Iran don't share a border, but can move it easily over the Caspian Sea without having to involve 3rd party customs.

So yeah, it could easily happen

I'm sure there some scams...

But that doesn't mean they were all scams.

And I sincerely doubt one lone Chinese woman was responsible for all the companies doing it.

It depends where you are...

In Europe (primarily the UK) they sell tiny plots like that because it comes with a lordship.

So you can buy a lordship and token tiny square of land.

But they do that for the title, doing it just for land...

I dunno.

The only way I could see people go for it is if trump sells national Parks and people use this method to maintain it in its natural state.

Yeah. That's literally the whole point of "the cloud" it can be anywhere.

The EU has lots of places with available renewable energy.

Hook up a couple servers to some dams. With "free" electricity it'll be almost impossible to not end up being cheaper than Amazon in the long run.

Like, I'm struggling to see how this would be a bad thing long term. Relying on American corporations just isn't a rational choice anymore

This is a weird case because the p320 did pass the required drop test.

You drop it X amount of times, from Y height, at A, B, and C angles.

The p320 won't go off, and passes the test

But drop it from a couple inches higher, at a specific (but not tested) angle... And it might go off.

The problem, like usual, is cops.

Cops always have a shit ton of negligent discharges. So when people said a p320 can just "go off" every negligent discharge with a p320 was blamed on the gun. Even when the incident was on camera and didn't involve a drop.

Cops just lie about shit instinctively.

You want Republicans to join with Democrats to vote Schumer out of Minority Senate leadership?

I just want to make sure that's really what you're saying and this isn't one of those things where an autocorrect changed the sentence...

Schumer and Jeffries have their position because neoliberals controlled the DNC and thru the victory fund the funding of most state parties.

So going against them on any topic, but especially Israel's various genocides would cost you your seat, or your whole state their funding

Neoliberals kept a gun firmly planted to the party's head and dared anyone to think they wouldn't pull the trigger

But they don't have the DNC anymore, and with "fight everywhere" essentially doing the opposite of the victory fund.

Schumer and Jeffries don't have a chance in hell of retaining leadership positions.

so it seems a lot like brain damage removes your empathy or makes you a greedy war mongering asshole.

It can be good tho...

It all depends on what gets damaged and what you're starting off with.

In general the bits at the front by your forehead regulate impulses, so losing that makes you more of an asshole. That's also where empathy happens.

The first parts by your spine generate those impulses, so damage there could chill someone who's already an asshole.

It doesn't take damage tho, with like 15 minutes of training anyone can predict political leanings from a normal brain scan with I er 80% accuracy.

It's not a permanent difference, the brain can change well into old age.

But as a general rule, the left uses their front brain. The right uses their hind brain.

And our brain is like a muscle. What we use often gets bigger and more active.

The reason was he grifted the grifters.

He frauduantly claimed to have $x donations already, which got him $y from the RNC.

Then he won the primary with just the $y.

If it wasn't for that, he'd still be in office.

He's not breaking ranks for this, he's been standing on the other side of the party line for a while.

It would be newsworthy if Fettermen took any stance popular with a dem voting base at this point.

Why deal with Ubisoft BS on PCs and their Client. Where older games force you to sign in to play them. When I could just have them on one box.

Yeah, but the advantage of PC is games "last longer" graphically.

Old games like those on PC you can max out all the settings and even use mods to further enhance it.

On an old console, you'll always be playing at the same graphics it was released with

I think it could work the same way you can import settings from an old account to a new one?

Like someone can make a brand new account, block some shit, then export the .json file

I just don't know if when you import it, if it's additive (which means it would work) or if it replaces what exists with what's in the file. If that's the case existing accounts would "lose" their own subscriptions and blocks.

Hadn't thought of this before.

The AI summary stops people from going to the website, which means the website the AI used isn't getting any page views.

On a long enough timeline, it would kill webpages, then the AI has no new info to steal.

trump really forgot the only reason he has a razor thin congressional majority, is Russia blackmailing Congress members into supporting him

Putin can make them all stop supporting trump just as easily.

Best of luck then I guess....

AI is the most frequent content that I see in my my feed due crosspost,

There's a few instances that are militantly pro-ai, even going so far to ban people just for downvoting AI.

If you just block the communities on those instances, it's like playing whackamole. Because they won't stop making identical communities.

So you need to block the entire instance, and/or the mods since they're the ones making all the posts/crossposts

You won't miss much, the problematic ones tend to have monthly users in the double digits, they're only there to bait people from rational instances into arguing with them where they're a mod.

Ideally .world would just defederate from those troll instances. But they really really want to federate with everyone.

So just block all those instances yourself.

I'm really hoping we see some good out of that primary.

But NY state Dems are corrupt as fuck as a state party. They don't care what NY voters want, it's a "safe state" so they cram conservatives like Eric Adams or Hillary Clinton thru a sham primary, then fall back to:

Who else ya gonna vote for?!

Mamdani is the only one who seems to want to fight fascism

Cuomo doesn't give a shit about that, he just wants more women to sexual abuse and more money to grift.

We need to start taking a hard-line against any politician taking AIPAC money

We're on our third presidential term in a row where the president prefers Israel to America, and a shit ton of Congress does to

If someone takes AIPAC money, I can't vote for them anymore.
