I’m a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.
My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.
I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.
It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL
In my experience, people who think Taiwan belongs to China are generally the same people who think China is a glorious utopia headed by a benevolent saint Jinping.
So it’s a 50/50 toss up on bot or troll lol
I can guarantee there is a significant number of people who do want more AI crap.
Hell I can understand why. If it was done ethically and with user privacy as a core tenant of its implementation I would probably love having convenient access to AI tools like that… But this is Microsoft so I think I’m gonna instead go the opposite direction and add this to the list of reasons my next PC will be Linux
Okay but forcing someone to pay you $550k (averaging your values) to not die maybe is still incredibly fucking awful, so it’s really not hard to be better than that.
I can respect that developing a personalized vaccine might take a lot of work but I’m not a chemist. I don’t know how much work it actually takes, nor do I know how many vaccines a person would realistically need to cure their cancer be it stage 1 up to stage 4?
What I do know is that if this vaccine ends up being more effective than the traditional method then it is a wonderful discovery, but if it leads to life-long medical debt and subsequent financial ruin all the same your life is still fucked… I guess I’d rather be poor and alive, but I’d also rather not be destitute.
I think when a Christian minister is making a statement about a guy who is VERY vocal about how his every action is influenced by his being a Christian, then a Christian denounciation feels adequate.
I get where you’re coming from but that’s not an argument about the defining characteristics of dictatorships, that’s an argument about the existence or lack thereof of free speech.
In my opinion a better argument would be that China has 1 leader at the top of the ladder with near unquestionable power over government precedings who will remain in that position until he either dies or chooses to step down. That already would make him something analogous to a monarch, but add the regular use of military strength in forcing compliance from the masses and now we have a dictator.
Fair and based.
We are still actually an Oligarchy though lol just, like you said, closer to what we claim we are then China is
life long career politician and public figure says something political in a public space
“obviously they are just trying to stay relevant 🙄”
Look, I don’t like Chillary Clinton, like at all, but getting butt hurt about a politician saying something political about a political opponent is just fucking stupid
his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They will anyway. Is this really the hill we are going to die on? After 8(?) years of this shit are we really going to keep spouting this rhetoric?
Trump has proven that he intends to keep violating gag orders. So it is not only clean but perfectly within the judicial systems legal power to imprison him. There’s no need to build a case here. Just do it.
Only way he wins is if half the country stays home.
I don’t have any reported statistics to back up my claims but I am fairly confident that 2020 saw an unprecedented turnout specifically because people were able to bolster their friends and family to go vote against Trump. Notably not for Biden. If I’m right then it’s not so much Trump getting more votes but Biden getting less that’s the worry
I’m thinking Dem turnout is going to be a lot lower this year just because of the general feeling of apathy around so many people of voting age. They won’t want to get peer pressured again by their friends and family. God knows the 4-5 people I convinced to go in 2020 have made it clear that they dont care for Biden and won’t want to vote for his second term.
I think if the Dems throw up a younger, more relatable candidate you’d be right on the money. But you know… Something something snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory
Production, most likely
