100% racist to ruzzians, as I said, these are not creatures I want to be around or associated with. AFAIC they are not humans, some sort of cocroach lizzards.

"everyone that disagrees with me is stupid!" .... actually explains more.

Maybe assume that reasonable people can look at facts and disagree, and that's normal, with out assuming you have a magically-endowed monopoly on truth or morality?

Just saying.

What have the Romans ever done for us? ... He said, posting on a phone or computer invented by the free market, on an Internet developed by the free market, on a free website whose operations are funded by the free market, probably having driven a car invented by the free market earlier this morning, sitting in a room climate controlled by free market developed equipment.
Should I continue or are you so mired in "I hate the free market" double-speak that you are beyond reason?

Fwiw, You know the EPA completely lied about ddt?

Geez if we could only go back to living in caves and 40y life span socialist paradise.

.. it technically IS part of the executive branch.
And it's still funded by fees, not congressional appropriations, yes?
And the commissioners nominated by the president, approved by the Senate, yeah?

So nothing changes.

But please: feel free to resume your fetal position if you like.

afaic all ruzzians are the scourge, a good ruzzian is a dead ruzzian. I definitely wouldn't hire one, don't want to be associated with one, be near one physically.

do you suffer from reading comprehension disability of some sort?

IIRC it was Buffet who suggested a 100% tax on gains from any stock traded less than 1 year from purchase.

Hell, even if they put a 1 month buffer, I think it would help.

Says "the voice of Satan".
Perhaps you forgot your sig?

Europe "we have free speech as long as what you say is approved, obviously"
US fell into that 2021-2024, I get it. You need to snap out of it. I hope you do.

I do find it ... curious ... that suddenly this aggressively pacifist bunch of milquetoasts who scurried like cockroaches when called out on their 2% defense budget "promises" (not just by Trump, but by Obama before him - WHO ALSO warned against EU's excessive RU-snuggling over NatGas as well...) are all marching in war-drum lockstep INSISTING that war is imminent? (And it's hard to tell if they'd rather fight Russia or Trump personally - their TDS is as bad as slashdot).
Germany ROARING that they're remilitarizing and Mertz pounding the podium very Kruschevian...sure. As if everyone will just *forget* that Germany a) did NOTHING since UKR was invaded in 2014. I think they sent some helmets when Trump was (the first) sending actual military weapons to UKR? b) Germany couldn't be dragged away from being all snuggled up to Nordstream 2 until that was ... no longer an option. (Let's watch the $43 BN in payments from EU to RU after the 2022 invasion... https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPo...)

The idea that "after Ukraine Russia will certainly attack Europe" might be politically useful but is breathtakingly stupid from anyone not in Latvia, Estonia, Poland, or Lithuania (who all have legitimate reasons to be nervous). To invent that Putin is somehow cracking his knuckles over the opportunity to conquer Europe as soon as possible couldn't be more laughable...unless it happens to now be coming from the EXACT PEOPLE who insisted in their younger days that the Russians would never do such a thing.

HILARIOUS.

You seem to forget, as the slashdot ideologues will certainly remind you, that "hating Elon and everything he does" is likewise the 'fad of the day'.

The Sahara has turned a lush green wildland 230 times in the last 8 million years, as recently as 9000 years ago.

I 1000% guarantee you, if there were leftists then, they absolutely INSISTED this was humans' fault.

Hint: The warming effect of each molecule of CO2 decreases significantly (logarithmically) as its concentration increases. This is scientific fact. There was no "runaway greenhouse effect" on earth even when CO2 was MULTIPLES of where it is today.

In the USA, a lot of people are still "conditioned" to buy from a carrier store, going back over 20 years which is where people started buying phones. Plus, people think they are getting a good deal for a "free" phone by a carrier locked phone, but actually pay MORE than if they had bought it outright. The last carrier phone I bought, was the original Samsung Galaxy on AT&T. I switched to straight talk not long after and did some calculations of using an MVNO, vs a carrier locked phone, over the course of the contract. I've been on an MVNO ever since.

I wish Ford would actually build cars! Other than the Mustang, all they build are trucks & those stupid SUV's

There is no story about ruzzians that I do not find disgusting, the only good ruzzian is a dead ruzzian. Trump believing that he can negotiate a business deal with them, involving Exxon Mobile buying the rights to some oil fields for a bargain and putin caring about doing business is cute. putin has Trump and all other Americans figured out. Americans want to do busuness, rhey are all about making money. Certainly it seems to be a rational thing to do. Except putin doesn't care about making money, to him money is not made in business deals, it is taken from whoever makes it, he just takes it, business is for chumps.

putin looks at Trump and the rest of them and understands how to manipulate them easily to achieve his own goals, which are not business goals. putin wants Ukraine, the whole thing and should Ukraine fall he wants the rest of Europe, all of it.

Europeans don't get it but really it shouldn't be that difficult. There is another force they are familiar with tbat has the same goal of world domination - islam. The muslim brotherhood and putin are really very similar concepts. Both want to dominate, both use the weaknesses of democracies and the business approach as jiujitsu of sorts against the West. The West does not understand this because it cannot wrap its head around such concepts, it makes no sense to the Western sensibilities, the West is too rational but also short sighted and too full of itself. The West cannot imagine being outplayed by ruzzians or the islamists. The West is wrong on all counts in this game, it does not recognize its own shortsightedness and its own narcissism.

ruzzians are a scourge, a plague, so are islamists. The West is not ready for this war.

For years they adamantly insisted they didn't need to upgrade their room making and navigation tech while Asian companies hungrily iterated improvements.
When other companies integrated vacuum AND mopping tech, Roomba refused because they'd rather try to sell you 2x separate $200 devices.

This is simply a case where an early leader got it's head so far up it's own ass it didn't realize it was being left behind. Or rather, it saw all the signs and insisted they were wrong.

Oh well. Evolution requires death of the unfit.
