A weak attempt to vilify free speech

It's not free if everyone can't make it. Curated by janitors with particular agendas doesn't qualify as "free".

Quite funny how you people only started to express this sentiment AFTER Elon bought Twitter, and Zuck switched political sides. Before that it was "if you got cancelled and deplatformed you deserved it, and the right to free speech is not the right to a soap box to stand on" etc, etc.

Winning! I'm tired of all the winning!

LOL, if you think the US is going to have *any* trouble finding use for the spare compute power that Canada was using then you are suffering from some rather serious TDS. Canada on the other hand will get less power, at a higher cost, and tied to EU bureaucracy that will meddle in whatever they are doing to a much higher extent than US ever did.

But I guess the satisfaction of showing middle finger to The Orange Man is worth all that.

So, bye Canada, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Malcolm Gladwell did a study of police in America and Europe. It turns out that many Euro cities have much larger police forces that U.S. cities. Their police are less violent and better respected.

He goes on (maybe he was reporting on a book he wrote) that the mayor of Baltimore greatly reduced violent crime, which, before he arrived, was at one of the worst levels in the U.S. He reduced crime by doing two things: expanding the police force and adding more ancillary services. One anecdote he related was that someone was murdered on the street. He sent is people to visit the family and they were able to talk the family out of seeking revenge through explaining the bad things revenge brings and convincing them the police were on the case.

His basic message is that U.S. cities are underpoliced and the police feel overwhelmed. Personally, I attribute this to the "law and order" pols who seem to revel in conjuring up hobgobblins and bleating on how beating the fear of God or the Love of Jesus Christ into criminals would solve the problem. So they underfund the police and taut that as being "tough on crime" and "fiscally conservative." They are lying and they know it, but Americans insist on believing these snake oil salesmen every election day.

The police, in general, are ordinary people asked to extraordinary things with few resources because the pols have convinced people this is good for them.

Yes, "defund the police" it totes a conservative rallying cry.

All of the diesel Trump purportedly wants to buy from Russia over the next 3 months amounts to less than one day's worth of world consumption. It won't make a rat's ass of difference to "expenses to US people."

You are either conned by the grifter, or conning on behalf of the grifter.

OK, so let me get this straight: your point for why Europe buying gas from Putin was perfectly fine, while Trump buying oil is evil is... "because Europe buys a lot of it and Trump only a little"?

That would be far easier if the Russian asset in the White House would stop sucking Putin's dick

What the Russian asset is doing amounts to treason. Russia helped Iran to target and kill American troops, and the White House Russian asset rewards Russia by lifting sanctions and purporting to buy diesel from Russia.

"Russian asset". OK. If Trump is Russian asset for wanting to cut back on expenses to US people from the war, then what do you call European elites, who so far have been mostly sending thoughts and prayers and that's it? Oh, and happily buying Putin's gas until Ukraine decommissioned Nord Stream for them?

It's nice you had just enough self awareness to write seemingly, since on some level you know it's impossible.

Too bad you weren't able to take the next step and see that greed is the problem, not helping some people meet their needs.

Greed, you mean like screaming for more money to Social Security so that it in turn can give YOU more?

Boths sides are bad is incredibly lazy given today's landscape. To make an analogy. You are trying to argue that stealing a loaf of bread is just as bad as robbing a bank.

Yes, both sides definitely have their problems, when it comes to election denialism you are talking entirely different planets. Nobody rioted for Gore like they did for Trump;

Yes leftards are so much better, they didn't riot for Bidet/Harris, they "only" tried to kill Trump. Twice. Such nice and peaceful guys those leftards are!

Denial-ism, yes. And people were in denial. But Gore was never president. The fear is that trump stays on even if he can't legally remain president. That's an entirely different thing.

So, let me get this straight. It's "different" because the Gore thing only happened in people's heads, not out there in real actual reality? "Unlike" Trump staying which... oh golly gee, guess what, so far has only happened in people's heads too? You know, maybe you should just get your paranoia treated.

Worse for Americans, as a collective they appear unconcerned about their voting rights and the rule of law. But cause their prices to rise, and then they get upset. It is okay with them for el Bunko and his stooge, Musk, to have Ukrainians killed because of their failures to support Ukraine.

Fuck me, you're one to talk, a shameless EU shill, with their proud tradition of declaring elections void if they don't like results, and repeating them, like Romania most recently. I fact, this being the original, foundational sin with the Lisbon Treaty referendums in Ireland.

Combined with private chats. That "Don't use my chats to improve ChatGPT" option will not apply to internal models.

That a rather serious accusation to make, so of course you have proof of that actually happening, which you were about to present, just got cut off by /. technical issues?

Actual business/health plan: we find out which signalling factors present in young people's blood cause the old hearts' transformation into young ones, and put those in pills.

You know, contrary to what your leftist paranoia tells you, rich people are not psychopaths, don't project your own faults onto everyone else.
