1. Fuck cars. Can’t wait until this becomes the standard.
2. Is Ram now a legally separate entity from Dodge?

Did you reply to the wrong person? Not sure how that relates to what I said.

Anyway, I’ll believe it when I see an actual source, not just “Well this rich dipshit famous for lying said it”. AFAIK all the actual serious science points to it being a natural evolution.

It might be simplistic, but I’m always going to go with Occam’s Razor on this: Trump and Elon are just that stupid.

Posting this is a war crime.

He said something about not moving forward with electoral reform being his greatest regret. Canadians, help me out here: could he still not just pass a bill immediately implementing the reforms suggested by the committee on election reform from like 8 years ago? Surely the NDP would support it.

Nyaa.si still up, all is well

IIRC rent and food are relatively cheap compared to the US, and you don’t have to own a car which is a pretty big savings.

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, AKA “Might as well try my best in case I’m wrong and we manage to pull it off”.

Hey someone help me out, how many people could Biden have freed from prison for drug possession charges if he just pardoned as many as he could? Assuming he was a good person, I mean.

By this analogy, where does Biden, the American Paul von Hindenburg, land? Like obviously it’s worse to actually abolish democracy, but surely working with those doing it and doing nothing to stop them is also evil?

E: As a disclaimer about my political views, I believe that Trump and every other US president should be executed for crimes against humanity.

If it’s about domestic damage, then every president who owned slaves or supported segregation still beats him.

E: Also every president who was involved in the genocide of the indigenous peoples of America to an extent more than Trump (IE he probably ties Biden and Obama on this).

They’re low risk unless you ingest them, because then they’re hitting internal organs directly.

Yeah, more or less proven with Reagan, Trump, and Biden all having dementia while in office.

Even if Putin were solely responsible for Trump winning (he isn’t, far right domestic media like Fox News had and has far more of an effect, remember that Cambridge Analytica was British, and Trump would likely still be a political nobody if the Democrats hadn’t boosted him as part of their “Pied Piper” strategy) it must be noted that this would essentially be Russia doing to the US what the US did to Russia when it supported Yeltsin’s coup. Imo if a country flagrantly subverts the democracies of other countries all the time, that same country can’t really complain when other countries do the same to it.

Do we think Vance is stupid enough to not understand that NATO primarily benefits the US? If “Europe” is cut off from the US, they’re going to make deals with China and (to a lesser extent) Russia. Trump obviously doesn’t understand shit, but Vance is the puppet of Peter Thiel, who you’d think would know better.

Where will “I’ll attack them coz they attacked me coz I attacked them coz they attacked me…” finally lead to?

The end of Israel as an apartheid genocidal settler-colonial state. You can look to South Africa for an example.

The point is that Nagasaki and Hiroshima weren’t exceptional, but rather typical of US bombing strategies against civilian populations that the US has continued to use into the modern day.

IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.

This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.
