Not sure why this was modded down here. This statement was made factually true once Google even allowed one 3rd party app store to exist.

Gambling on Gen Future actually learning from the mistakes of History? If you're wondering how that's going, I hear the 13-year old gambling junkies are running 3:1 odds on those "predictive" markets society made legal for child junkies hooked on snorting pure shitcoin..

This is a roundabout way to implement a national sales tax. Rich people love that and by Rich I mean if you're reading this you aren't one of them.

Tariffs shift the tax burden to people who work for a living. That's because you and me have to spend most of our resources just surviving. Maybe if you're doing really really well only about half of everything you get your hands on goes to food and shelter and transportation and medicine and saving for when you can't physically work anymore.

The goal is to eliminate income tax and replace it with taxes paid at the point of sale. This of course means that if you're wealthy you stop paying taxes but if you are a working stiff well, you're basically going to have $15 a dozen eggs.

The fuck is AI grading? The AI-created input?

The A-Irony.

This affects EVERYTHING else you brought up. Once you teach them to cheat, everything else becomes irrelevant. Including legalities.

Also, people think they're so clever when they do this, when they generally don't actually work with modern models anyway. It just makes you look manipulative and unprofessional.

Whether we like it or not, whether we use Windows or not, Microsoft is going to insist on adding the tax whether the PC comes shipped with Windows or not. This is illegal bundling, Microsoft has essentially ignored prior rulings, and it's pretty much a certainty the courts will be fine with this.

It sounds fair, and maybe even a little generous.

Speaking of demand, no one wants to take a short trip Under the Rainbow for a remake?

That, was my introduction to a Small World. Not Disney. Hilarious movie.

Simple: They tried and it failed. Again. sure, as an end-goal it is valid and eventually it will work. But not anytime soon. Computers are not magic.

I mean, this could be used to see things about the non-existent climate change, right? It must be banned! Or maybe put 100% tariffs on every byte of data!

Indeed. The Chinese also know that publishing a story about a found backdoor in their software would be a great exploit for the US and hence they know that the US is looking. Strangely, nothing has been found so far. Or rather very obviously, nothing has been found and the whole thing is nothing but lies.

And no, that is not "socialist" or "China loving". This is what is called a "fact". Obviously the MAGA cretins do not know what that is.

And as soon as you are, expect to get fleeced.

And yet, US citizens are in prisons around the world for violating local laws. I guess that little detail is too complex for you to understand.

And in other news that oh-so-mighty US military just got defeated by Iran. Even if the Dumb one (who you apparently pray to) claims differently. BTW, have fun wen the US strategic oil reserves run out in the near future.

Always the same stupid and invalid comparison. Here is one that is actually valid: We do require banks to have secure vaults and if a bank were to store the valuables of its customers, say, in cardboard boxes in an unsecured office, of course the bank would be punished

There can't possibly be enough miniature human beings to make this research worthwhile. I mean besides Mark Rubio who is this even for?

We're not talking about building up the military we're talking about using the military we built for more than just soft power and occasionally murdering some brown people for oil.

Trump is openly discussing invading other countries. This is a classic right wing tactic where you have someone in a safe position say something crazy in order to introduce the idea into the public conscious. It works because when people see people talking about someone they assume that it must be a legitimate debate and then they start considering both sides of a crazy ass issue where there isn't both sides to consider.

More importantly it shows that the ruling elite of America are already thinking about invading weaker countries to take their stuff.

You have not seen an America that is on an actual War footing. If we simply collapse all of the aspects of the economy like we did during world War II you would be horrified just how much more military we can produce and how quickly we can produce it. And once you can put boots on the ground and do a draft because you're already invading sovereign Nations so what the hell then you're not in the situation Trump finds himself in where he tried to do regime change with a air War.

Honestly I think you're just coping. You can see it coming any fool could but you don't know what to do about it so you just put it out of your mind and tell yourself that America isn't a problem.

You can't keep doing that though and you're going to find out that a hard way
