You stalkers realize you come off looking far worse than he does in these tirades, right?

And FYI, a hell of a lot of Americans think maybe, just maybe, no individual should have a billion dollars. When flat-out paying cash for a healthy large-cap S&P listed company on a whim is a realistic option, it's time to accept your "you won capitalism" ribbon and retire to a small farm in upstate New York.

Sometimes "success" doesn't actually require winning. 3rd world hellscape holds its own for over six months against the single most powerful military the world has ever seen? That's success.

Merely dragging this out makes the US look worse and worse the longer it goes on. And the more gas prices rise, the more families receive their kids home in a box, the more our trading partners say "yeah, no thanks to your bullshit sanctions over your needless war of aggression", the more successful Iran is.

Are they ever going to outright win in a traditional military conquest sense? Of course not. Are we going to be wiping egg off our faces for decades to come? I hope you like omelettes.

Try googling "bluetti battery power station" dumbfuck

Nobody has that, which is why so many potential voters stay home.

Yeah, stupid people really believe that, but I don't see them lining up to change jizz soaked sheets and pick vegetables.

Rapeublicans believe it's OK to have a president who raped children as young as the age of 8.

If the AI companies want to guarantee their AI does not get used, they could add text to their EULA that says all data discovered to be connected with political campaigns or super-PACs will be made public and searchable, including contact and payment information. Boom, nobody would touch it.

They won't, of course, because they secretly LOVE the idea of pollical campaigns using their tools, but man, wouldn't it be cool if we have heroes instead of villains in the AI space?

Yes, it is always very much about control with our government, this is where you can legitimately bothsides because they are both authoritarian. That's why we're fucked, because it's how we came to this pass. It wasn't Republicans insisting that we be mass-surveilled and Democrats insisting that we not be, it was Rs saying let's do this and Ds saying well how much of this can we do and how should we do it? Womp fucking womp. Now the very idea that we should have privacy is equivalent in some "minds" with terr[or]ism. Orwell wept.

Agreed, but they would have to contract it out, there's no competence for that on the average staff. Logically this might be handled at the party level, especially in the case of Republicans, who have been very successful with unified messaging.

Well, if it happens, I hope they build more GAZ 66s.

Our drunken ancestors had little access to spirits until fairly recently and only a few people had figured out how to make beers over about 5% ABV so it really depends on what time period you're talking about. Americans drank about four times as much before prohibition as they do now, so there's that.

There is almost nowhere you can smoke cannabis publicly, so statistically no one is going out to smoke weed at an establishment. Therefore we can compare to drinking at home. I buy 12 packs of reasonably high test beer for around $20. Two of those is generally plenty. You can easily spend more than $4 a day on cannabis without even getting into the top shelf stuff. Hell, most smokers can do that even with $8 eighths.

Cannabis is taking over because it's less harmful in every way than alcohol.

The emergency is that they cannot produce enough fuel for the vehicles they have. The only non-drone vehicles they really need to produce more of are bombers, since Ukraine has blown up some of the few they have left, and they cannot really produce those either either. (They can make a few a year, maybe.) Without Ukraine, Russia's manufacturing capability was already limited. It was an important center for military vehicle production for the USSR.

You couldn't be more wrong overall if you used a LLM to generate your answer. Not only was it a sodium battery power station, but diesel is fuel oil, it's fundamentally different from gasoline, as in it's a different fraction of the crude.

The appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy. I stopped reading there, thanks.

Think of the categories as fixed, and the people moving *through* them. Over 65s are exiting the category at a lower rate.

The real answer is, there are countless instances of various old-school forum software running all over the internet with either no passwords at all, or that allow free, anonymous, unverified signup. Heck, over the decades I've orphaned at least two fitting that exact description. They died a natural death since the likes of Facebook and Twitter basically killed semi-private forums wholesale, but I couldn't be bothered to actually take them down.

This isn't a matter of rogue agents hacking, it's more like long-forgotten technical debt; but not even that, really - We just didn't care 20 years ago. They're making use of sites designed to explicitly allow exactly what they're doing.

In this case, though, it sounds like the real "exploit" was finding a site that allows posting messages encoded right in the URL via a GET. Not an exploit of those sites, because again, we used to not care and that was a feature not a bug; rather, it was an exploit of their own shackles, but what they did with it was largely allowed by design.
