You can be pro-Israel and anti-genocide.

That's like saying you can be pro-nazi-germany and anti-nazi. There is no nuance in sending billions of dollars in weapons to a country actively committing genocide. That can only be taken to mean support for genocide.

This is being done by the "facts don't care about your feelings" people?

I've used it to explore some avenues without having to write a complete implementation. If the approach shows promise, then I go through the code and mostly rewrite it because the code it generates is terrible. I also use it if I don't care about the project I'm on. They want to "do test-driven development" while having poorly-defined requirements that constantly change on a whim while also setting unreasonable unit test coverage thresholds? Cool, I'll let the AI shit out a bunch of unit tests and waffle stomp it to satisfy your poorly thought out project requirements.

The sooner you can get your money into the ponzi scheme, the better!

I didn't expect republicans to interrupt their own masturbatory moment of silence. Anyway, I would've been tempted to rip the loudest, nastiest fart I could muster, even at the risk of shitting my pants.

Not just tariffs, but also terrorizing and deporting the workers that the industry exploits. Even for items not actually impacted there's also the corporate greed seeing a convenient excuse for higher profits. Just an absolute disaster all around.

With enough duct tape and chewed up bubble gum, surely this will lead to artificial general intelligence and the singularity! Any day now.

I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.

I don't even understand what record profits they're expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they're facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.

I don't even know my neighbors enough to assign them labels like that. I just like keeping to myself.

Yep, the trade war that trump carried out with China in his first term led to China buying a lot fewer soybeans from the US, instead turning to Brazil (now even more with the second trade war). Since this time his trade war isn't limited to China, many more countries are finding alternatives. It's much harder to gain business than it is to retain it and even harder to regain business when lost.

US corporations were happy to support trump because he'd cut taxes and regulations on them, but that won't outweigh all the business lost internationally. Instead US corporations will be relying on squeezing Americans even harder in an attempt to make up for that lost business. I suppose that's the true meaning of "America first".

Maybe I'm not using my knives enough and/or I don't care about dullness, but my cheapo knives are lasting a long time too. Haven't had to throw one out yet.

Klarna, eh? The same Klarna doing an IPO soon? https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2025/09/03/klarna-klar-ipo-update-dont-buy-now-or-later/

Yeah, it's less "stability in world events" and more so the west riding high off winning the cold war.

Are we waiting on the US to approve or disapprove every political action in the world?

Too late. The US already has a ton of influence here and is currently content with supplying Ukraine with just enough to hold off Russia but nothing more. If the other western countries increase their support, the US will just scale back an equal amount.

Also "3D Movies" is a whole joke on its own.

The parasites are destroying earth while claiming their dick measuring contest is what will save us.

Were they researching sci-fi?

I thought people valued hard work, why would they idolize a symbol of being lazy?

Our economy would collapse without this "needless spending".

It's possible to complain about both because the improved hammer makes the guy smashing everything with it an even bigger problem. Either way it brings attention to the issue, but I have no confidence in politicians making a change for the better at this point, they'll probably just make it even worse.
