I always thought the pledge of allegiance stood out as a bit of a strange brainwashing exercise for the free and fair democracy the United States seeks to be. In fact IMO the nationalism it represents and instils in Americans opened the door to MAGA.
Seems like the limits of llms have been reached and they're is no clue how to step beyond
"Hi, I'd like a coffee please"
"Sure thing. Here you are sir"
"this is just hot water"
"yep but the coffee is definitely coming next year. We are just working out a few kinks. Also careful you don't burn yourself on that, it's a little hotter than we planned"
"but the sign says best coffee in town"
"and next year it will be, exciting isn't it? Thank you for shopping at Tesla Coffee"
Seriously though, any other industry/ceo and it would not have been allowed to happen like this. I'm glad karma is coming back on them.

Is it not simply a matter of contract anyway? The states agree to pay the federal government in exchange for the security and cooperation that the federation brings. If the federal government is no longer holding up it's end of that agreement no matter the reason, why should the States be obligated to remain in that agreement?
Disagree, every ruling the scotus makes that overturns a lesser court judge makes their opposition to established law clearer. If cases went straight to scotus, it would appear that legal opinion was unanimous and not that scotus have a politically motivated agenda.

The problem with pound land was always that they not only made their USP "everything for a pound" they baked it into their name and whole premise. So when inflation inevitably devalued the pound too far, little by little the number of items available at £1 dropped along with the quality of the products.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was to find out they had stuff in there that cost more than a pound. And what is the point of a pound shop that doesn't sell anything at a pound.
Pretty sure that Musk has realised he alienated his prior fan base by courting this government so publicly and passionately.
Now he is trying to reclaim his former status by attacking the Trump admin thinking the left will love him for it. Trouble with that is, petulent is not a good look, nor is appearing not to have an allegiance to anything but money. His mask has slipped and that won't be forgotten, he did a nazi salute twice on the international stage ffs. No one is going to see Musk as a champion for the left or the environment again.
Not only has he screwed Tesla by making them unfashionable, he's now screwed SpaceX by pissing off a major source of income.
But we are still to believe that the guy is a financial genius and not just lucky, right?
Amazon 1 year after launch: Unfortunately, the space needed for robots in the van means that the van has to return to base 5 times more often to reload with the actual packages and the extra weight of robots more than doubles the weight of the van being lugged around in the form of heavy robots. So that's why we are having to charge more for delivery and why it is taking longer for you to get your packages. But at least we can pay fewer salaries.
I find it so hard to believe that an ethnic group who have suffered an attempt at ethnic cleansing - being hunted, tortured and murdered - by the nazis could so quickly forget how that feels and be capable of doing it to another group. I'd imagine that any Jewish survivor of the WW2 concentration camps would be appalled that today Israel is now the one attempting ethnic cleansing.
...and yet that is exactly what they are doing. The only difference is their concentration camp is much bigger.
To make matters more complicated i believe (but may be wrong) in Japan Tokyo and Osaka have opposite conventions. So it can even come down to the city level.

You know it occurs to me that when all you care about is money, you may think that the only motivator people have is money.
I.e. The only reasons that anybody does anything is for a pay day. That means you either think everyone"like" you must think like you and the only reason they don't say so is because they have been paid (since that would apparently be enough to get you to say the opposite of your beliefs). OR, that they don't have morals (or strength of conviction) and need to be told what to say.
What is most worrying about that is the implication that a supposedly unbiased journalist can be assumed to be open to publicly say things against their beliefs if the price is right.
It may have helped them shrink the workforce by convincing them to do it, but that does not also mean that it was a positive and permanent action.
Every decade has its musical style that generally makes it easy to place what decade a song was written in if you haven't heard it before.
40s big band
50s rock and roll
60s essentially has its genre named after the decade or at least I can't think of anything I'd call a genre.
70s punk and beginnings of heavy metal, disco
80s electro synth, rap
90s grunge, dance, R&B, trance
Etc etc. Obviously these don't entirely define the music of the decade but are highly recognisable genres that can more often than not pinned down to a decade.
So my question is, since the 2000s I don't see as much differentiation but that might be because I'm too old (44) and not as exposed to be music as I was in my teens, so help me pretend I'm "hip" and "with it" by giving me some clues. I'm curious to know what you think defines the music of the 2020s, what defines the 2010s and what defines the 2000s. I.e. When someone says they are going to listen to noughties music what do they put on? Etc. Or have we reached a point where music has been explored to the point new genres are much rarer to establish?
The Geneva convention was established to minimise atrocities in conflicts. Israeli settlements in Gaza are illegal and violate the Geneva convention. Legality of Israeli settlements Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside. Whether you agree or not that Hamas were present, children cannot be viewed as combatants.so when no care was taken to protect them, does this not constitute a violation? According to save the children, 1 in 50 children in Gaza had been killed or injured. This is a very high proportion and does not show care being taken to prevent such casualties and therefore constitutes a violation.
So my question is simply, do supporters of Israel no longer support our believe in the Geneva convention, did you never, or how do you reconcile Israeli breaches of the Geneva convention? For balance I should add "do you not believe such violations are occurring and if so how did you come to this position?"
Answers other than only "they have the right to go after Hamas " please. The issue is how they are going after Hamas, not whether they should or not.
EDIT: Title changed to remove ambiguity about supporting Israel vs supporting their actions
