  • irrelevant facts

    "You're stupid"

    "You don't actually think at all"

    "My feelings don't care about your facts"

    :-|

    No, I think we've hit the end of the road on this discussion.

    Good luck out there, buddy. You've got a sharp eye and a keen brain. I'm sure you'll go far.

  • Millenials don’t run anything.

    Steven Miller, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Elise Stefanik, and Tulsi Gabbard all hold ranking positions in the federal bureaucracy. The average age of an ICE agent is 40, with plenty coming into the organization in their 20s. The average age of US military leadership is 44 (by design). The average age of US mayors is 50. The average CEO is 54, with newer executives tending to the high 40s. The average US voter's age is 43.

    Millenials run plenty.

    The senate is still dominated by Boomers and the Reps are dominated by Boomers and Gen X

    And they've done nothing substantial to affect the Unitary Executive government. They're perfectly happy to just sit on their hands while the younger and more aggressive leadership take the lead. They don't control the money in a material sense, either. Lobbyists, DC staffers, and campaign bundlers all skew much younger. Dianne Feinstein was drooling into her oatmeal while her Chief of Staff James Sauls was making all her decisions.

    Charlie Kirk was a mere 31 years young when he was abruptly unalived. He'd been slopping around a campaign war chest of $85M - more than most sitting governors - in an effort to influence elections through the American southwest.

    These are the people running the country.

  • The chain of custody has been irretrievably compromised.

    I mean, I don't think that's the reason why.

    The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails.

    But that also won't happen, for obvious reasons. Nobody is going to prosecute Jamie fucking Dimon for anything, even though he's closer to the center of this web than even Epstein himself.

  • just tried to whitewash Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

    Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine

    Hunterbook Media revealed video where Wi-Fi equipment made by Ubiquiti is being shown on the front lines in the Russia-Ukraine war. The equipment reportedly has helped Russia use drones that have targeted civilians in Ukraine

    never accused you of having thoughts

    You got played by an American MIC that profits by pitting nations against each other at a profit.

  • we were students during 9/11 and watched our peers get fucked up and die in Iraq and Afghanistan for no reason

    Pretty sure there was a reason. The Cheney family fortune ballooned during those eight years. Nevermind the hedge fund sector. Hank Paulson made out like a bandit.

    The conversion of SCOTUS to conservative and the godamn Patriot Act was already in place before most of us could even vote.

    And then 20 years passed, and Millennials did what about it? Send JD Vance to the Senate? Put a trillion dollars into Bitcoin to gamble on rigged sports games? Spend half a career inflating the profits of Facebook and Palantir and the O&G industry or just straight up becoming cops?

    The only millennials with the wealth to change anything are nepo babies with fascist dreams

    Because y'all never unionized. You never got over your fear of migrants or your love of Ring Cameras. You never even logged off Twitter.

    Millennials bought the poison pill of Boomerism without even getting the cheap homes or the good jobs.

    Millennials embraced fascism chasing the American Dream. And now here we are, with hundreds of thousands of you fuckers wearing ICE badges so you can cover your Cybertruck notes and credit card debts.

  • She was not directly involved

    Yeah, her and John Gotti.

  • Me: "Just FYI, you've got undiagnosed ADHD."

    Friend 1: "Wow, what can I do about this?"

    Me: "You're too poor to access mental health care, and most professionals haven't accepted this as a diagnosis for your racial/gender cohort. So, unfortunately, there's nothing to be done."

    Friend 2: "What about me?"

    Me: "You're transgender."

    Friend 2: "What the fuck did you just call me?!"

  • Are you stupid?

    Oops. I hit the thought terminating anger button.

  • Boomers did this

    Applause

    Wait, it looks like Millennials/GenX are in charge

    "Hey hey! Enough of this generation blaming!"

    :-/

  • Good news. Linux can LLM - too

  • hybrid war against the west

    How many times has Moscow been bombed since '21?

    How many times has a Western capital?

    I gotta say, this feels like hearing "War of Northern Aggression" from a Confederate camped out at Gettysburg

  • Maybe aim better next time, Mr. Crooks

  • Oh absolutely. I hear Vladimir Putin has an entire division dedicated to posting on Lemmy

  • Iran Strikes Send VIP Dubai Influencers 'Back To Reality'

    "OMG!" Israeli wellness influencer Hofit Golan exclaims repeatedly in a video that shows a building near her apartment in flames.

    British content creator Will Bailey was updating his Instagram and TikTok followers by filming the trails of smoke left by missiles and interceptor rockets in Dubai's skyline.

    "That was metres away from us," he says in a video filmed near the Fairmont hotel, which was hit by a strike on Saturday.

    Other influencers were less composed, with France's Maeva Ghennam who, waving her passport around, told viewers she "screamed hysterically" when she heard a strike.

  • Being profitable so you can continue to exist does not mean you are motivated by profit.

    I mean... it definitely plays a large factor. The idea that these organizations aren't profit-maximizing is very different than claiming they're net negative or hobbyist endeavors.

    This is the same argument as “you hate capitalism but you participate in it.”

    "We live in a capitalist society and must play by its rules" is merely an observation of the status quo.

    I would more compare it to the complaint about a number of socialist states - China, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela - that wildly outperform their expectations despite flying in the face of Chicago School orthodoxy. "Well, but they're cheating!" is an allegation made regularly.

    Western AI data scrapping companies love to get mad at Chinese AI data scrapping companies for scrapping their data, for instance. American MIC love to bemoan foreign investment in cheap, efficient deterrents. American biotech companies are firmly committed to keeping anything developed in Cuba out of the hands of the American public.

  • She's not notable. Her staff and cabinet (as well as Obama's) are all over the files.

    Also, Ghislaine had front row seats to Chelsea's wedding.
