  • Yeah, I am so fucking disappointed in the results, I did everything I could, and that baboon still won.

    I also at first wished Biden would do something, but I don't see how that could be accomplished without resulting in civil war.

    I mean unless there was some kind of fraud he actually even got a popular vote.

    Where IMO Biden dropped the ball was:

    • still ignoring social media. They are currently have more power than MSM with no responsibility that MSM would have for spreading false information (people still don't understand that what they post on Facebook, Twitter and others doesn't matter, because what others see is still controlled by the social media sites. Now with generative AI they can even generate content and then promote it. This is why those companies are interested so much in generative AI)
    • waiting 2 years to start prosecution of trump's crimes
  • If we want to fight fentanyl, much more effective would be to impose sanctions on Chinese pharmaceutical companies that produce it (they actually produce legitimate drugs too).

    The tariffs idea on Mexico and Canada I bet comes from Elonia who wants to kill competitors to Tesla, who recently (especially this year) started eating into their market share and most have factories in Mexico.

  • This is BS. People saying Kamala was too liberal, or too centrist, she was riding too much on Biden achievements or not enough etc etc.

    The real reason for this is that majority of people no longer get their news from MSM, they get their news from social media which are hevily slanted for trump. Not only GOP understands how influential those are, but they are helped with foreign entities who are free to use these media as well.

    This also isn't just happening to US but also to Europe.

    The fucking solution is to get your family off of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok etc. it is a cancer and essentially hacks their brain.

    You might think that social media is great, because everyone can have a voice. This might be true for sites like Lemmy, but in other places what you post is irrelevant, because their algorithm controls what others see. It is very clever, because they can hide behind freedom of speech to not restrict the sites, while essentially still having full control of what it is shown and zero consequences.

    With AI they don't even need people anymore they can generate content themselves and say it is a real user.

    Why do you think companies involved in social media are also heavily invested with generative AI?

  • Yeah, some people are more vulnerable than others, and this is especially true if they are on social media.

    I noticed that nearly everyone (perhaps all) in my circle who fell for MAGA were or still are in some kind of MLM.

    Online, for example on Reddit looking at users who believe that you see that large portions of them are into crypto.

  • It's fucking in 2 ways.

    One is to deport, which will cause labor shortages.

    Second are the tariffs, will make imported food (and we import a lot of it from Mexico) more expensive.

    It looks like the deportation will force us to import more and at higher prices due to tariffs.

    And he supposedly won, because price of eggs was high last year due to flu.

  • That supposed to be my comment, lol :P

    Edit: started reading more about it and it is basically Korean version of FGM-148 Javelin and Israeli Spike-MR ATGM, and they all look very similar. Even Javelin has that foam attachment (just a different shape).

  • The only meaningful change for this would be via legislation, otherwise trump can just as easily undo it the same day.

    Edit: looks like the process is much more complicated and actually Biden already started the process at the beginning of this year (April): https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/update-deas-efforts-reschedule-cannabis-what-you-need-know-2024-09-11/ , I don't understand this article

    Edit 2: the letter is actually asking him to try to hurry the process up (the article from September that I linked says there supposed to be hearing scheduled this Monday (Dec 2nd)). It is very misleading (as you can see from the comments), because it implies Biden is just ignoring this issue completely.

  • Seeing questions like this is so scary that so many people don't get that simple concept.

    Seeing stuff like this is mind blowing: https://youtube.com/shorts/bf3sLnZ0S04

    Tariffs is just a fancy name for tax that you pay if you buy something from another country. The producers in that country already got paid, you pay that tax when the product is crossing the border.

  • In my eyes it is the opposite.

    Klitschko is a heavy weight world champion, Rogan should be excited to have him.

    If he ignores it, it will be a clear signal that he isn't independent as he claims to be, but also gets paid to spread Russian propaganda.

    I don't see how one would reject such guest unless the goal is spreading disinformation.

  • No war in countries that joined NATO. #2 goal of NATO is to be prepared to fight enemy together when attacked. #1 goal of NATO is to discourage war, because it's you attack one NATO country, you start war with 32 countries.

  • NATO is a defensive alliance, but it also standardizes weapons, equipment and command.

    The only time when NATO article 5 was actually invoked was Afghanistan after 9/11. The other times it was mostly UN missions where individual countries volunteered to take part. NATO command was used, because it helped to work with multi national presence.

  • Well it is called

    • USMCA (United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement) in American English
    • CUSMA (Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement) in Canadian English
    • ACEUM (Accord Canada–États-Unis–Mexique) in Quebec French
    • T-MEC (Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá) in Spanish
