In addition, when they say this

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that the U.S. government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

They’re talking about cutting entitlement spending. Never cutting “defense” spending, obviously. They really just want the USA to be like Mad Max.

It’s so annoying when you try to discuss this because often a gaggle of idiots come out and point, superficially, that water gets recycled into nature. They always ignore the cost of making that water fit for human usage.

It’s insane. Israel struck first, blatantly and obviously, and it was reported as such initially. But it feels like by now the mainstream narrative has become “well who’s to say who really struck first?”

Something about a “stealth” fighter jet being the size of a stadium is absolutely hilarious.

It’s gonna be funny when stuff like mid-level tech companies are fully integrated into Github Copilot and then whoopsie doopsie time for a 50% price hike.

On the one hand he’s supposed to be a very serious business genius at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancement. On the other, he’s just advertising to people how stupid he is.

I bet Tucker would love to do this to Trump.

Maybe. But it’s probably much more fun to do to Ted Cruz because he’s such a loathsome worm. Don’t think he has any supporters, fans, or friends.

What am I dogwhistling? A dogshit, decrepit capitalist society designed to exploit poor people?

Online sports betting through apps on your phone is just yet another example of everything sliding toward degeneracy

extremely non-zero chance the entire site and payment system was coded by morons with chatgpt

Looking forward to alarming articles about how Greenland Internet users are rapidly losing freedom because they have to provide a home address to get service or something stupid like that.

Looking forward to a map produced next year by some thinly veiled US-supported NGO that shows corruption in the world and America will still be not corrupt but America’s enemies will be very corrupt.

I think “defense” minister Israel Katz is the one who said Tehran will burn. Regardless, I can’t see this as anything other than Israel promising they’ll commit a second genocide. Fully backed by the USA, of course.

I have never used a food delivery service because they all feel so fucking scummy and exploitative. Seems like they are in equal need as we are for regulatory overhaul of this business practice.

Once I “Got” it (and realized the comm this is posted in) this post became good lol

What kind of place do you go to to find these things? Sometimes I get really lucky (see my post history about my wonderful new printer), but if I could increase my odds that would be cool.

Dude. I thought That was bad. Just now I went to arstechnica to view one article and I did the same thing to “support” the site. It was 36MB in one minute.

Trump unilaterally tears up the JCPOA. Biden sits on his ass and fuels the genocide. Trump continues Biden’s policy. And here we are.

Trump needs to put his dog on a leash. fucking hell.

If this hacked trove of documents news is real that’s a pretty fucking huge deal unto itself. If the IAEA is passing along confidential memos that’s also a pretty fucking huge deal on top of the huge deal.
