Nokia of now is not the Nokia of yesteryear. Their new phones are just cheap Android smartphones.

Any anti-corporation action has about 60 more days to complete. The US is about to be more of an unregulated runaway capitalism machine than it has ever been.

Just wait until they hear about the host of the Apprentice

Musk will simply change his opinion. He’ll come up with some pseudoscientific wording while he does it, and his little minions will gobble it all up and call him a genius. Then they’ll start spewing some tired talking point with a Musky spin, and it’ll spread like the virus it is.

By the numbers: French or Arabic, as other commenters have mentioned.

But it really, really depends on where in the world you want to travel. If you’re interested in Asia, for example, neither French nor Spanish nor Arabic will help you much (save for some remaining French usage in Vietnam).

A better answer is: figure out where you want to go, then do the math on what to learn.

Played on PS4 Pro. I really loved the theme and the visuals. The combat was quite nice too. But, I also remember it got very grindy to me.

Interestingly, I’d say I give a shit about Tesla and SpaceX about 9 times less

The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey, a prominent activist who has spread false claims about elections.

This is the game. Challenge everything as much as possible. Even if very little of it sticks, two big things have will have happened:

1. Some number of actual votes will have been invalidated – often from groups more likely to vote blue.

2. The same groups making the challenges can claim that the multitude of challenges are themselves evidence of problems with the electoral system. (This should be impossible, but it seems to be a common tactic when googling from your armchair counts as “research”.)

One more rich person in the US doing illegal things without consequences.

The quiet part is now the loud part, and it doesn’t matter at all.

Are these targets made by the corpos just throwing darts at a board filled with numbers?

I have had fun with ChatGPT, but in terms of integrating it into my workflow: no. It just gives me too much garbage on a regular basis for me not to have to check and recheck anything it produces, so it’s more efficient to do it myself.

And as entertainment, it’s more expensive than e.g. a game, over time.

I think the JD Vance “I’m a never Trumper” clip has kind of killed the title, no?

It is biased towards the rich. Much of American society and laws are biased towards the rich or biased towards large corporations.

So it is insane, but since it’s just as insane as the rest of the system, you aren’t supposed to notice.

Oh, yeah. Fair enough. Totally agree.

We are not in direct control. That’s the disconnect.

Case in point: the US sells arms to Israel. Numerous polls show a lack of support for Israel’s current actions among US citizens, and yet the arms sales continue.

I get that the electoral college is a great excuse for the popular vote not mattering in presidential elections, but what is the excuse when the country has said they don’t want their money going somewhere but it doesn’t stop flowing?

Can you explain the difference in terms of the effect on the population?

Duh.

The US is effectively a corporation. We The People have lost control. The question is what we do about it.

The philosophical depth of so many comment threads on this post kind of highlights the issue with AI and intellectual property rights.

By definition, AI leverages existing work, crucially in a way that usually does not credit or benefit the original creator.

If I took two images from random creators, cut one out, and pasted it onto the other: have I created a new work? Is it a copyrightable work? (I genuinely don’t know the answer to that).

When jail?

Because if we don’t start seeing jail, nothing changes.
