Nice.

Cool, you can say bad things about Trump.

Now say something bad about Xi Jinping. You can't do it. You are a slave, not human.

The problem with living in an authoritarian state, it's impossible to take an economics class based in science.

If you had learned about economics, you might have learned about "dividends" and "regulations based on rule of law."

Inflation is great for making people feel rich.

They worked almost literally hand in hand to accomplish it. The point isn't that one of them is great. If I thought that, I would say it.

They've been interested in censoring it ever since they became aware of it. It's truly remarkable how the CDA backfired so beautifully. It's somewhat stupefying how many people who ought to know better (as in, they wouldn't even be allowed to opine further about it) would like to undo that!

He didn't have to trick them. He did it to trick Israelis, so they would support him. He did it for a pretext, and got one. There is no need to trick a captive population.

What they put at the top is worthless garbage that is always wrong if I am looking for any information more sizable than what I would normally see in search result summaries. I run a Firefox addon to suppress the AI results because they are distracting dogshit.

The corruption is just too obvious here, it cannot be anything but an attack on our financial systems designed to cause delay and disarray.

This place is dying for real

Netanyahu voted for Hamas. He bragged repeatedly about making sure they got funded as part of his strategy on Gaza. He is far more culpable than any other single person for the attacks that people like to claim led to this genocide, ignoring that Hamas was founded in response to an Israeli settler doing a massacre in a mosque.

You literally can now, that was one of the first things changed by Elon.

Go to Twitter and click on the "Following" tab. It even remains selected between visits, so you don't have to see the AI shovelware unless you click on the other tab.

Cry harder, white supremacist clown. I live for your tears.

IME the very best information can't even be found in fora, it's on private mailing lists.

Back when I had a Nissan 240SX I was on such a list called the 240-list which was at least twice as good as any forum.

The public is just too problematic for people who actually know and do things.

Stephenson mentions this phenomenon in The Diamond Age, where as people approach higher strata, their news gets to look more the same so they're all on the same page. I have another proposal for why it would be such and why it's NOT desirable, though: the wealthy pissing down on us actually do tend to read the same shit in the real world... Because they have the same goal of treading upon us.
