I like the super clean and minimalist look. Snappy and no junk on screen for the sake of flashy junk.

Kind of reminds me of when I used twm back in the day but prettier.

Does not give me a headache, make my eyeballs bleed or have distracting noise like other systems I've seen.

A lot of people will hate it. Not flashy.

Seriously? Trump has clearly annointed Vance.

Watch when they're at press conferences together (or just taking random questions at some event).

I have seen many times it goes like this:
1) reporter asks serious question about whatever controversial topic to Trump
2) Trump turns to Vance, nods or asks if he'd like to take that one
3) Vance replies for next 3 minutes while Trump watches Vance, clearly listening to every word.

You think that behavior is random or Trump is afraid of the press? It's a good bet they have discussed these topics many times and reviewed Vance's answer after in private. I have done the exact same thing with junior managers who reported to me to 1) make sure they're awake, 2) make sure they're in the loop, and 3) make sure they're learning something. It was for their benefit not mine. I didn't --need-- my junior managers to do anything but process paperwork but I had them do more to grow their skills and careers. Most of them are now VP or Senior Directors. One is a small company CTO. Trump treats Vance the same way.

By the time the 28 election starts Vance will be extremely well practiced on every topic and smooth as soft shit in front of the cameras, press, and voters. There won't be any word salad or stupid meme quotes available.

Vance has clearly been anointed The Chosen One by anyone paying attention. There isn't even another potential candidate on scene.

As far as the internal fighting on the conservative side, I'm guessing you don't have any conservatives in your friend circle or online who are willing to discuss politics with you. If they did and you're like most leftists you already cut them out of your life. We are not at war. There is no conflict. The differences between conservatives are trivial compared to any conservative and any leftist. We're fine. Don't worry about us. We know which way to vote to save the country from the left. Worry about your own side, no one else is.

That you got modded +5 insightful is not because you're insightful. It's because slashdot is a leftist echo chamber where all things left are good and perfect and moral and ethical and right while everything not leftist is bad, evil, stupid, ignorant, immoral and unethical. Getting a +5 here is easy, just repeat leftist propaganda, especially about people on the right, not a single one of whom you've ever had a conversation with. You don't know us. You just know the false representation you've created as a punching bag. If we're so stupid how is it you're facing 12 years of Trump/Vance and lost all 3 centers of government power?

It was a nice idea and very naive.

By the time Reagan came into office they'd had enough time to show some reforms but didn't.

By the time Clinton gave away everything we knew it was a terrible idea and did it anyway. Remember how there was "no controlling legal authority (-- Al Gore)"?

And by now it is totally insane to do anything but put in full effect serious effort to completely separate Western economies from them and rebuild or replace everything we gave them in exchange for nothing.

It won't happen over night and there is no single magic bullet policy that will get us there but it's clearly past time there was a full court Western press to exile them from the world community.

Here's for the wolf warrior 50 cent/post hate America replies this will inevitably attract, "Yeah yeah America is evil, China is a victim, they earned everything through hard work and smarts, it's their century, white people bad, Trump bad, they're peaceful, blah blah blah". My response, Tibet, Uighur, Falun Gong organ theft, Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, entire South China Sea militarization, economic rape and abuse of third world via Belt & Road, coal use climbing, destructive land use policies, destructive fishing policies, deep seated non-Han racism. And that's the short list. Carry on.

> No reference to subsidies. All that matters is the export price being less than the fair market price in the country of origin.

Exactly.

China doesn't have the concept of "fair market price" for many industries. Such as domestically produced cars.

We are in agreement.

It's more nuanced than that.

Price differential between home and foreign markets is only one aspect.

In this case, China's government subsidies mean their cars are being sold for less than true cost to produce, which is also dumping. It doesn't matter if they sell for the same price at home as they don't have a real home market. Their entire economy is top down controlled. It is not a free market where supply and demand rule pricing and sales figures.

No country is required to allow foreign sales or factories for any goods. There are countless bans around the world d the woke to protect local industries or tariffs so high as to effectively ban foreign products.

But, two things can be true at the same time. In this case, China has been over producing and dumping around the world (which is why the EU is looking at banning or high tariffs on certain Chinese industries), while at the same time American automakers have been sucking as usual.

Just because American automakers suck does not mean China isn't also looking to dump.

Good job doubling down when called out on your horrific and stupid "joke" about potentially hundreds of kids dying of cancer.

You'd be one of the first to cry if someone got "misgendered" but when we're talking about children dying of cancer, it's funny. The same way "jokes" about AIDS, COVID-19, rape, and genocide are funny.

"It's just a joke" is the refuge of viciously stupid people when informed of their vicious stupidity and definitely not funny.

Done here. Any reply will just be tripling down on your 8th grade level idiocy. You're predictable.

Fantastic. With 1.5 to 3 million gun defenses a year and that 'gun homocide' rate includes ATTACKERS who are killed by the victims.

Perhaps in your country when someone stronger comes along every woman, child, elderly person, or smaller man simply becomes a victim but here we proudly stack the attackers into that 'homocide' stat.

That and there are between 1.5 million and 3 million successful gun defenses per year in the US. Even the anti-gun lobby refusing to count incidents where the crime was prevented metric still has more incidents than gun associated homicides.

When a woman prevents a man from beating her to death by using a gun in self defense, that is counted as a gun homicide. The lower rate in disarmed nations is reduced by the women, children, elderly, weak, etc who are beaten, robbed, and murdered by any stronger man who comes along. I shutter thinking about how many female officers must be raped in the UK where even the police are unarmed.

I'll take the higher gun deaths and lower violent crime/homicide.

Last I checked people killed by guns are no more or less dead than those killed by other tools and overall homicide rates tend to go up when guns are banned.

In contrast gun related self defense estimates show even the worst accounts tallying more defense incidents than deaths with typical estimates between 1.5 million and 3 million self-defense instances per year.

Lets compare citizens killed by foreign invaders and mass murder of heavily armed civilian populations by the state vs mass murder/subjugation of populaces which have been disarmed. I think you'll find both virtually non-existent in states with heavily armed populations.

Already the models refuse to assist at professional levels on the basis that it would somehow be dangerous to enable novices to act with professional capacity. There is nothing magical about having the resources to train these models or to gain professional level skills in any given field that confers ethical or moral responsibility.

It's gun control all over again and the answer is NOT to withhold capability from people, it's to empower good actors to defend against the bad ones and distribute power widely to keep central authorities in check.

Yeah, so serious issue for hundreds of kids, many already dead of cancer, and you make a lame joke out of a copy paste editor error we all saw and ignored.

Good job, so proud of you!
