Holy shit. This is insanely profound. Not dehumanizing his targets but acknowledging their humanity and therefore, their responsibility and the gravity of the thing he is about to do.

This wasn’t a raving mad man stabbing or shooting the nearest, most Jewish looking person, this seems to have been a targeted shooting.

Tech-Bro is an almost exclusively male subsection of people in Tech, who think that A. Tech solves everything B. As people doing Tech, they know everything C. Any non-tech attempt at solving something is bad.

This isn’t a sexist term.

How did Ukraine land on that list?

A trade deficit is never exploitation. Lets pretend it is!

All of the stats Trump put up weren’t tariffs, they were a percentage of much less they would have to import in Goods from a certain country to make for the trade deficit with said country in Goods.

Not a single stat on that sheet looked at the trade in services. America always had a service trade surplus.

If we combine the two, a lot of countries that seem to “”““exploit””" the US are suddenly exploited by the US.

But lets go even further: The countries receiving the highest tariffs are Vietnam and Lesotho, becuase the US has the highest deficit in Goods with these countries. Because both countries are too fucking poor to buy american products. A worker in Lesotho, providing diamonds for the US market, would have to invest about 20 years of wagest to buy the cheapest american import car. How the fuck should these countries reduce their deficit?

Okay, but still, we assume that a deficit is somehow exploitation. Trump has said that the tariffs are going to do two things, namely bringing back American Industry and forcing trade partner to drop “barriers and tariffs” (i.e. safety regulations).

For a tariff to do the former, it has to stay until the relevant factories have been built in America and have also paid themselves off. For a tariff to the latter, the possibility of it being removed once the partner comploes has to be on the table. A tariff can’t do both.

But hey, don’t believe me. Read the paper the White House cited in their Announcement of the Tariffs.

Or a Fußpils :)

Dont know, but i had to go that route.

And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.

Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i

1. Opened up a browser
2. Went to the website
3. Entered a password
4. Watched the stream.

On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”

I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.

I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.

Get angry, frustrated and ask someone who knows. And because more people are using Windows, chances are, they will find the answer way quicker. Also, most programs already run on windows.

Like when i wanted to set up my Proton Drive on Windows, i just downloaded it and started it.

On Ubuntu, i had to write a systemd.service to get the program to autostart on starting my machine. Which was fun, but it isnt for a lot of people.

The year of linux will never come because a lot of people wanna boot up their pc and have it work. Just fire up a program and have work, without looking up workarounds and clis and other stuff.

I made the jump just this month but i can totally understand if someone doesnt wanna do this.

Love how an attack on russian soil is somehow a provocation. Mfers, you are at war. Sorry to inconvenience you.

Literal Lyndon LaRouche talking point.

Zionists were both for and against this agreement. Some Zionist leaders opposed this agreement, because if a british company paid Nazi Germany, it would break the boycott of Nazi Germany that had been initiated by Zionists.

We can hate Zionism for a lot of things, we dont need to steal talking point from literal nazis.

“This figure does not include humanitarian or military contributions” Which is the main part of european contributions, ircc.

I do not see your point? The iranians also live in a country with slavemasters on the money. Slavemasters that deems women and religious minorities as lesser beings, a status that is codified into law. Not to speak of the Kurds.

Not that israel doesnt steal water, but can we find a better source than an irr-funded site?

Edit: @davel for some reason i cant answer you directly.

All of the criticisms about manufacturing consent directly apply to non-western media too. Especially to an outlet that paints Qassem Soleimani as a beloved folk hero. About as truthful as proclaim Brian Thompson to be some working class hero.

Finally, a sane fucking take on the matter.

Now where the fuck did i cheer for them? No, seriously, tell me pls where i cheered for them?

The claim is that no antisemitism was present. Thats wrong. Hooligan fucknuts got punched, yeah, but they were not the only ones attacked.

People committing hate crimes.

Can stop cheering for either of them?

Hmmm, when people shout “Cancer jews”, what do we call that?

Edit: Antisemitism.

Neither the PRC nor the ROC control both China and Taiwan. There is China and there is Taiwan. The realities on the ground reflect that.

Remind me again: What legislative power does China hold over Taiwan? And can the Brits reclaim their former territory too?
