Definitely tea party roots, libertarians have been against it for ages.

Reagan really kicked is off on the trajectory of privatization, trusting corporations to bed good stewards of the people. It was a steady trajectory really kicked in to high gear with the recession since blood was on the water

Now the right hates any part of the government that doesn't hold a gun, and would rather drink poison than impede corporate profits.

Unfortunately the question isn't whether to fire him, but if he can win an election appearing as a sickly confused old man.

He spit in the face of an energized lefty base, so he is gambling the future of the country on low information Pennsylvanian voters in a popularity contest.

With the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

These comments, including this one, are an embarrassment. Worse than reddit right now.

This comment has antivaxxer energy.

And half a dozen months ago they could have had a ceasefire to have them released, along with the ones that STILL aren't released.

UN veto power goes a long way.

Fun fact, it was quite common for people to live into their 80s in the past. The shorter life expectancy myth (1) comes with averaging age of death infant mortality, which was far higher and (2) the drop in life expectancy during industrialization.

A few thousand years ago we had a similar life expectancy and worked far less. There are other tradeoffs of course.

You can be organized without a state. Typically nicer, in fact.

The best recruitment tool for Hamas is Israeli violence. Israel kills many civilians but a manageable number of Hamas. There are many Palestinians in prison camps with no trials, Hamas negotiates for their own.

Their calculus is one of triage, they want an effective fighting force to liberate Palestine and not become another West Bank (effectively dissolved with Palestinians treated like cattle). So the need for their organization takes priority over the general population.

They're right wing, imagine how MAGA types would respond to the US being occupied and genocided by China.

Best case scenario it's bought, or other platforms honor a number of steam purchases as a perk. But ultimately...poof

Luckily they make a lot, have relatively low operation costs, and are a private company that doesnt need to be enshitified for share holders

The US has truly been grifted by the "defense" industry for decades now. A lot of snake oil with no testing in real battle conditions

We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.

Historical reason for the US supporting the creation of Israel ^^

Love free speech, and the very normal relationship the US politicians have to its client state

Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it's exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.

Is it war when one group is wholly reliant on another for access to food, water, communication, electricity and other forms of aid?

It's ridiculous to call this a war when there's such a dependency. Israel wants Palestinians in gaza over the southern border or dead, an ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Not to mention the West Bank, which is not controlled by Hamas, being a center of settler violence and concentration camps for Palestinians.

Some war.

He really finds lovely configurations for the deck chairs on the Titanic.

These payments are flashy, but do nothing to remedy the current predatory student loan system or the rising costs of academia.

This begs some reflection. what is a"job", functionally? What would be needed for losing it to be good?

I suspect a system with jobs would not eradicate jobs, just change them.
