  • Trump vows peace in Middle East 'one way or the other'

  • They don't care. They have time and power on their side. They can just burn the entire place to the ground piece by piece.

    How much money did the US waste in Reagan's Space Wars?

  • The “Golden Dome” is an idiotic idea from an idiotic person.

    It is not a new idea. it is an old story that keeps going on under different guises. Is it the classic old military-industrial complex? I don't know. But I know that here Trump was hired to set up a huge vortex of money to spin around. I see him more as the marketeer in this story.

    Vietnam turns a blind eye to China's bullying in the face of Trump's Bullying

  • The last three articles linked.

    They all refer to the same news,

  • China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense

  • Western industries like to cry foul. But if they did not do anything since these bans started about 20 years ago it means that they are happy with it.

  • Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift'

    Jump

  • I find absurd that many political groups including the Pirate Party moved to Discord. People who that claim to be fighting for the rights of user privacy then invite you to join Discord. Looks like they have been assimilated by big tech.

  • Trump tariffs: is a retaliation against payment systems feasible?

    Jump

  • When was the last time you used cash?

    Yesterday evening when I bought some groceries. I didn't buy anything else since.

    Now imagine you must use cash, because Visa, MasterCard, Google Pay, and Apple Pay refuse to work inside of the EU

    Giving up suddenly 50% of their revenues? I doubt so.

    Is Trump planning the partition of Ukraine?

    Wikipedia rewrites the history of the Myanmar coup

  • No memory of your own? Already reprogrammed?

    The protest were widely reported back then.

  • The damning statistics that reveal the true cost of Brexit, five years on

  • Nah let us back in

    Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

  • The problem with the modern media is that they frame everything in the context of money. Thus they ignore that the Britons joined just for the economy. They are a staunchly capitalist country that never managed to fit within the EU spirit. They kept resisting the integration and asking opt-outs for every initiative. During the exit process they acted as spoilt children, they absorbed all the attention and time of the European council and brought all the other activities nearly to a standstill. All of that tedious process ended up with a partial exit, the UK is still standing on the edge with one foot in and another out.

    At this point I think that the best thing to do to stop crying over the spilled milk and do not even dare to think to come back, it would be just a pain for everybody.

  • Ask Science @lemmy.world

    Is the mere ability to support life enough to think that life might have existed on Mars or other objects?

  • Has AI made any breakthroughs in other fields? Or how close are we to that happening?

    Jump

  • A real AI would have explained you that with great probability a room temperature (and atmospheric pressure) superconductor is not possible.

    Few experiments were successful with small grains tested under enormous pressures. But apart from that a room temperature superconductor is unlikely due to the high entropy.

  • xkcd #2806: Anti-Vaxxers

    Jump

  • Antivaxxers are cartoonish characters created by the media to discredit those who opposed people in power. People like Trump or Bolsonaro said a lot of stupid and wrong things on purpose to discredit all the arguments. All the antivaxxers who appeared on the media are no better, actors playing the role of the idiots.

    The opinion of the real opposition is:

    COVID19 vaccines were available when the overwhelming majority of people already developed the antibodies on their own, therefore they were useless.

    Viruses of that family mutate so frequently and are so contagious that there is no way to develop a vaccine on time. They will always arrive after people already came into contact with the virus and fought it off on their own.

    Also the lock downs started after people already had their course with the virus and fought it off on their own. Lock downs were politically motivated, they saved absolutely nobody.

    The story of the heart conditions looks like another false alarm to distract the attention from the real problem. Until now we used vaccines for a limited number of serious diseases and the vaccines were carefully tested over a long period. That was a sensible way to use vaccines because the mechanism is still not fully understood by science. Imposing by force two vaccinations every year with untested vaccines means playing too much with a mechanism we do not fully understand and nobody knows what the long term consequences could be.
