  • Defense stocks drop after Trump says Pentagon spending could be halved

    Jump

  • i agree.

    our defense budget is larger than the next 9 defense department equivalents in the world combined.

  • Why politicians keep blaming ‘DEI’ for disasters, even when it’s laughably untrue.

    Jump

  • because it's something they have done since 1979 at least. the country's problems aren't the fault of multinational corporations and a completely upside down tax code that overwhelmingly favors the super wealthy.

    our problems are the fault of those shifty brown and black people, sponging off government largess, irresponsible, and always looking for a handout. the play hasn't changed. but the playcall has evolved.

    blm, crt, woke, dei? it all means the same thing. it's just that they can't use the hard R in public.

    not yet anyway.

  • saving a relative few pennies in the budget that affects the absolute least among us to give away several dollars to the richest among us which totally coincidentally happens to be him.

  • anyone with a tenth of a percentage of business sense could tell you a business that produces nothing but eyeballs to advertisers will be a massive failure if said business does anything to piss the owners of said eyeballs off.

    and experts are confused why traded-on-the-markets social media companies are in freefall.

  • Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills

    Jump

  • never used it in any practical function. i tested it to see if it was realistic and i found it extremely wanting. as in, it sounded nothing like the prompts i gave it.

    the absolutely galling and frightening part is that the tech companies think that this is the next big innovation they should be pursuing and have given up on innovating anyplace else. it was obvious to me when i saw that they all are pushing ai shit on me with everything from keyboards to search results. i only use voice commands to do simple things and it works just about half the time, and ai is built on the back of that which is why i really do not ever use voice commands for anything anymore.

  • Dems reportedly angry that progressives are pushing them to act like an opposition party

    Jump

  • do they like getting phone calls to act more oppositional? do they want more phone calls to act more oppositional?

    because removed about it is how you get more phone calls to act more oppositional.

    and now that the base knows they are getting through, any current elected who is not acting more oppositional is almost guaranteed to get a primary opponent who i assure you is most definitely going to act more oppositional. and primaries are won by the most ideological. being a creature of washington is not going to help those people if they don't get their act together.

    this is also not to mention the countless numbers of elected democrats who after biden's debate performance completely fell for the media created narrative and treated joe biden's back not so much like a pincushion but a target fired at by a scattergun at 2 feet. i haven't forgotten and i won't forget.

  • Trump voters angry at ‘chaos:’ ‘Not what we signed up for’

    Jump

  • that's really rich. chaos is the reason he got into the office in the first place, and was offering nothing but chaos for 2 years before the election.

  • You stupid socialist

  • if I am correct in the snippets I've read the new guy is good on civil rights issues. that won't completely turn off the black women. and black women staying engaged is paramount.

    I didn't know too much about who endorsed wikler but seeing who endorsed him makes me feel better that he didn't win. no offense to the guy but I feel very comfortable knowing that the key people who engineered biden's ouster, and are perfectly okay with blocking legislation to prevent congressional insider trading, and have essentially done nothing to put brakes on citizens united (in fact I think they are embracing it which should be extremely disturbing. especially since they suck at using it) didn't get their guy.

  • Tesla’s 2024 financial results are out—and they’re terrible

    Jump

  • I'm glad for them.

    they don't make electric vehicles. they make human sized battery powered over engineered poorly designed toys that were somehow street legal.

  • Democrats leave ’emergency’ meeting vowing ‘street fight’ in response to Trump actions

    Jump

  • no.

    next question.

  • Donald Trump To Be Put on Mount Rushmore Under Republican Bill

    Jump

  • honest answer: a 45 year project to delegitimize the media by routinely calling them "liberal", so much so that the major media reflexively frames every issue with a pro republican bias, goes soft on republicans in interviews, harder on democrats that was sped up with the introduction of fox news in 1998 and their "fair and balanced" tagline even though they were blatantly pro republican.

    now you throw in all of these conservative propaganda online media distribution networks and actual true believers who bought into the "democrats are traitors and the enemy who deserve to be shot" rhetoric started by newton leroy gingrich and sprayed across the country by rush limbaugh having prominent positions in elected office and this is how you devolve into a despotic idiocracy run by a weak autocrat calling himself strong and protected by the truly evil people who are actually running things.

    tldr the conservatives scared the media into being pro gop just so they wouldn't be labeled as liberal even though conservatives call them liberal anyway.

  • i would much rather have a chinese ev with that long range battery tech and framework than an american car company's ev option not including tesla which i don't even consider a car company. they're a shit tech company that makes shit cars shittily.

  • Obama's chumminess with Trump doesn't seem to have helped anyone

    Jump

  • remember when it wad said that obama couldn't get visibly angry and shouty, even when those reactions would be appropriate and deserved? it was because the image of the angry black man would have been pure oxygen to the racist and both sides blame game fire. and it looks like the same thing is happening here with some people thinking being "chummy" with trump at carter's funeral was some sort of acceptance message. it wasn't. in fact i think the same don't appear to be the angry black man rules apply here. it's not that obama didn't show trump the back of his head when they were close, it's that obama couldn't because then the story wouldn't be about the funeral. it would be about obama being rude to the president-elect, and trump would use that to claim even more victim status.

    you can still hate someone and what they stand for and still be polite in a very public setting. this was a total non-story that corporate vichy media was trying to use to stir up controversy (which drives up clicks and views) which failed miserably. any outlet trying to revive said issue needs to be looked at skeptically for their reasons why it was doing so.

  • Nvidia drops 16% as China's DeepSeek AI model sparks global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • i know absolutely nothing about investing. so this is a lay take:

    before today i would invest in these ai big tech companies because ai is the next big thing, and there's no other real competition around and any coming up might be ready in 3 or 4 years maybe.

    after today's news, why would i waste my money investing in companies that are building wasteful, energy consuming, and most importantly proprietary components when there's a new generative ai that is just as good, if not better, than what's available now, that runs on far cheaper components that is totally open sourced? i'm better off taking that money i was going to use to invest in big tech and putting it towards hiring some programmers to take the completely open sourced ai and modifying it to better suit my specific needs.
