No… It’s just laziness let’s not sugar coat it. You have the wealth of human knowledge in your pocket, knowledge of how to do absolutely anything and everything for free on a silver platter, all you have to do is prioritize exploring ethical technology choices. Complexity of the problem itself is not a good excuse to not learning to solve it as it continues to become a bigger problem.

Been off Spotify since they have Rogan his platform, which contributed to Trump also.

These bombs are not just dead weights. These bunker busters are equipped with precision guidance and fly to and hit a person on the head if they desired. It’s also designed to deliver a huge explosion AFTER it penetrates with the kinetic impact.

It can also be set to explode right before impact, like Israel really likes to do when attaching residential high-rises, to deliver maximum destruction and death.

It’s confirming your bias so you like it…

Does that propaganda line make sense if you think about it deeply? Stop repeating it!

Let me explain. The whole idea that North Korea “threatens the world to extract aid” is pure Western propaganda. It completely ignores history and the actual situation on the ground.

First off, the Korean War never officially ended. They signed an armistice in 1953, not a peace treaty. So North Korea has been living under constant military threat from the US and its allies for over 70 years. That includes nukes pointed at them and massive military exercises happening right near their borders.

Second, North Korea is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries on the planet. Those sanctions, pushed by the US, have crippled their economy and blocked access to food, medicine, and basic resources. When they try to negotiate for food or economic assistance, it gets framed as extortion, but the reality is they are trying to survive in a system designed to isolate and starve them.

Their missile tests and military displays are not random threats. They are a form of deterrence. Even mainstream scholars like John Mearsheimer recognize that smaller, isolated states under constant threat will use military posturing to prevent invasion.

On top of that, the history of negotiations shows it is often the US that breaks agreements. Look at the 1994 Agreed Framework. It collapsed largely because the US failed to follow through, not because North Korea suddenly decided to flip the table.

Leftist voices like Noam Chomsky have been saying for decades that the outrage over North Korean weapons is pure hypocrisy. The US has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world and uses its military power to bully smaller nations constantly.

Bottom line, the “they threaten to get aid” narrative strips away all context. It is designed to justify aggression and keep dehumanizing them. It ignores that North Korea’s actions are shaped by decades of sanctions, military threats, and isolation.

Actually, Firefox version numbers were totally independent for most of their history, but Mozilla recently adjusted them to roughly align with Chromium versions to reduce confusion for developers.

2004 - Firefox 1.0, no Chrome yet 2010 - Firefox 4.0, Chrome around version 8 2011 - Firefox switches to rapid releases 2020 - Firefox and Chrome both around version 85, just by coincidence 2024 - Firefox jumps from 124 to 126 to align with Chrome 126 2025 - Firefox 126+, Chrome 126+, version numbers now track similarly

They are literally not the same. Lobbying is when you try to convince someone and influence their voting/law making etc. Bribing is paying to set the prioritising and define what is important. However, bribing may also be done for noble causes, prohibiting bribes is limiting the opportunity for all kinds of actors to ensure their cause isn’t deprioritized in a harmful way.

They’re literally the same, we just legalized using money to set the agenda and made a new word for it.

Yes, that’s correct, Google didn’t do it out of the goodness of their non-existent heart, they made what they think is the best financial decision.

It’s a good one for the consumer though, whether see that or not. It’s good that your every move ever taken is stored in a company’s database.

Don’t worry, they most certainly used it to train a decent model of any typical American demographics movements before scrubbing it.

Unless you think about it of course, then you realize in reality actually only one country and its client-state currently goes around bombing other countries it doesn’t even border and slaughtering civilians while celebrating it as “national security”, and that’s the US (and Israel, literal Jewish ISIS).

You disagree with the current war, the entire world is on fire because of US imperialism and colonization, and you can’t distance yourself from all the benefits and pride you get from the “good side” of America.

Just like you can’t separate America from it’s history of being built on the backs of slaves and the institutional oppression that still comes from that, you can’t separate your current comforts as an American from their direct causes: oppression and stealing the resources of other nations and using all your “most deadly military’s” best stealth bombers and biggest bombs to bully the world through threats of regime change and economic sanctions. Trump isn’t what’s bad about America, he’s just an accelerated conclusion to neo-liberal politics, this is Bill Clinton’s America!

buying dumped goods only makes the situation worse as it means those players and playing on an uneven playing field

So let me get this straight, instead of buying a $20k Chinese EV to meet a necessity of modern life, you should pay $60k for a worse car where all the money goes to shareholders and dealership markups so you can be on an even playing field?

We’re not talking about buying the cheap throw away Chinese product instead of the built for life one, we’re not talking about consumerism at all. We’re talking about taking a 5+ year loan for something society forces you to own in most cities around the world, and making Elon rich isn’t a better alternative than having $40k in your savings account.

You can run a model locally on your phone and it will answer most prompts without breaking a sweet, it’s actually way less energy than googling and loading the content from a website that’s hosted 24/7 just waiting for you to access the content.

Training a model is expensive, using it isn’t.

No they didn’t. Iran didn’t bomb every hospital and clinic in Israel repeatedly, Iran didn’t bomb Israel fertility centers, Iran didn’t ambush and shoot doctors and bury their bodies, Iran didn’t drone strike ambulances AFTER coordinating their movement. Iran didn’t bulldoze graves of all the people it slaughtered to invade a hospital and destroy its water lines, Iran didn’t evacuate hospitals at gun point and leave infants to starve to death alone in hospital beds. Iran didn’t do any of that.

Israel did all that, and more, and they bragged about it very loudly and posted all the evidence themselves.

You’re halfway there. Now ask yourself why a civilian has a distinction in their language when they’re describing world leaders? Why is Iran ruled by a “regime” and any is Israel seeking “regime” change? Why are Western countries not ruled by “regimes”?

Wow, you really should be disgusted with yourself right now. Go take a shower, Jesus Christ.

You were satisfied seeing someone “flee for her life” because you interpreted her foreign language and hand gestures as “she was self-righteously wagging the finger”, and that was enough to make a journalist fleeing for her life because a fascist genocidal state bombed her TV station “felt good”.

🤮🤮🤮

You’re doing it again, Nazi sympathizer. Iran is being bombed by fascist baby murderers, but you really want people to just be aware that Iran is the bad guy.

You’re moving the goalposts. You said you need nuance in how to measure a shirt size, you’re arguing just to argue.

If a model ever starts answering these curiosities inaccurately, it would be an insufficient model for that task and wouldn’t be used for it. You would immediately notice this is a bad model when it tells you to measure your neck to get a sleeve length.

Am I making sense? If the model starts giving people bad answers, people will notice when reality hits them in the face.

So I’m making the assertion that many models today are already sufficient for accurately answering daily curiosities about modern life.

As the victim. Iran is the topic as the victim of an unprovoked attack by a Jewish supremacist rogue state actively committing genocide.

And your contribution was to highlight “the victim does this other unrelated thing”.

I’ve spelled it out to you, and I didn’t need to insult your mental capacity to do it.

You’re engaging in manufacturing consent for the unprovoked attack by bringing up an unrelated grievance with the victim, as if it justified or makes it more acceptable.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying they don’t even need to hit any targets and they’d still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can’t fight Iran without US.

Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump’s main priorities, hopefully they don’t succeed in changing his calculus on it.

And they aren’t able to and won’t be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we’ve already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren’t really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.
