  • 91% of Ukrainians oppose peace talks without Ukraine's participation, poll finds

  • Fair enough. I was suggesting that Michael Okuda didn't have utility in mind when he made it because that's not what he was hired for.

    Edit: In fact, I just read that he was under directive by Roddenberry to make something minimalist to suggest technological advancement. In that sense, it was prescient.

  • HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback'

  • I don't think that's fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there's the HP printers and they're a good deal, so they buy them.

    Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don't have certain knowledge.

  • Former intelligence officer claims KGB recruited Trump

    跳过

  • He has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.

    He's extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it's pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

  • There is no difference in that sense. That doesn't mean the truth is fungible.

  • Amazon is changing what is written in books

  • Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

    That is putting it very mildly.

    "There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

    He said that in checks notes 1971.

    Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn't so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old "you're anti-Israel, so you're anti-semitic" nonsense, he decided to go, "hell yeah I am!"

  • Trump Fires Top U.S. General In Major Shakeup Of Pentagon Leadership.

    跳过

  • I don't think this counts as a conspiracy theory. What he is doing is right out of Project 2025 and it is exactly for the reason you are suggesting.

    It's not a conspiracy theory when they're doing what they said they were going to do. Trump's weak disavowal doesn't really count since everyone he's surrounded himself with was and still is an active proponent.

  • Mexico's president warns U.S. against invading to fight cartels after Washington designates them as terrorist groups

    跳过

  • So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:

    GreenlandPanamaGazaCanadaUkraineMexico

    Did I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he's going to stretch them a bit thin?

    Trump deletes nationwide database on police misconduct founded after George Floyd murder

    跳过

  • It's no longer misconduct if it's approved of at the highest level.

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    跳过

  • Some people cannot do a lot of active campaigning for health reasons. The person you just asked that question to is one of them. I just thought you should know that.

  • Texas wants the NCAA to start ‘sex-screening’ its student athletes.

    跳过

  • A lot of them claim that they're fine with girls playing on the boy's team because somehow the boy's team is open to everyone (Air Bud rule) but the girl's team is just for "real" girls because they have an inherent disadvantage. And this is from people who claim to be feminists.

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    跳过

  • I know what you are talking about. It is not the topic of this post. That is why you are getting downvoted.

    You asked why you were getting downvoted, I told you, and now you're trying to argue with me about it. Which I am guessing is also going to get you downvoted.

    Also, stop responding to me multiple times and in PM.

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    跳过

  • Because this is about the Democrats and Section 230 and you're talking about growing food.

    TIL Hagrid was played by a prop, not an actor

    跳过

  • Hagrid was played by human actor Robbie Coltrane. You can tell because he looks and sounds exactly like Robbie Coltrane.

    (The late Mr. Coltrane was apparently a dick... so I guess being cast in Cracker was apt.)

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    跳过

  • Probably because that's completely off-topic.

    Your intentions are noble, but people do not appreciate that.

  • ICE lets local officials stop immigrants on the streets as task force program is back.

    跳过

  • But let's be honest- if you're white, you're probably safe.

  • Texas wants the NCAA to start ‘sex-screening’ its student athletes.

    跳过

  • This is going to trickle down to the grade school level. Because there is no shortage of perverts who are willing to "save" the girls from the evils of possibly playing sports with someone with a penis by inspecting their vaginas.
