I can see him starting his own religion instead, once he realizes how much merch he can sell.

Guaranteed that no sides will agree to anything over the next 2 weeks.

Or reduced. Solar wind implants protons (Hydrogen) in the upper surface and causes darkening.

The problem is that we offloaded “world leadership” to a bunch of ultra-rich sociopaths who only care about their own profit maximization. And they then made actual profit obsolete, since the only product they produce now is hype in the service of inflationary speculative assets. From a planetary perspective it looks like the human species is committing suicide.

Don’t fall for the clickbait reporting here. Musk has a history of making comically exaggerated claims. There won’t be a million satellites just like there wasn’t a 4000 km/h train, self-driving tunnel network, intercontinental rocket transport or Mars colony.

Yes, they could destroy the oligarchs and kleptocrats draining this planet of its life.

It didn’t have the money then, either. It just printed it and ballooned the national debt. I’m sure the global oligarch class will be happy to buy more US treasury bonds while the congress raises the debt ceiling again.

Trump, the climate change denialist, doing his best to speed up the green energy transition.

Thanks!

So for a total novice could you elaborate on this? Like why a certain build is better for gaming?

So is Mint still the easiest distro? I think I’m switching for good this time.

The man ad libbed an hour and a half speech at Davos. We’ve been hearing reports of his impending demise since 2016. He’s got at least another 10 years even if he shits his pants every day.

Somehow it hits differently after our society decided that human rights were a thing.

70% of Americans believe in angels. If you take the extreme end of that statistic you can just insert any crazy belief.

If AI is coming for the CEO position, does that mean he’s giving all his money to an AI? His position consists of hyping a bullshit machine and having money. His income comes from capital, not productivity or growth. Technically, you don’t even need an AI to fill that role. If a potato could hold a bank account and invest, it would do a better job than this man because at least we wouldn’t have to listen to him.

And media outlets love reporting on them as if they’re imminent.

Do you hear yourself? What do you get out of this?

I don’t think it’s this simple. Russia is primarily relying on China as a buyer for its hydrocarbons. It has a large and developed military industrial complex. Ukraine has had to bootstrap its arms industry since the war started. Russia also imports artillery from North Korea. Europe has historically had a dearth of war material and industry, so Ukraine can’t just order a million shells from Germany or something, although maybe this is where we’re headed. Just because we don’t want Russia to win doesn’t mean they don’t have major military and economic advantages. Ukraine hasn’t gained any territory since the Kursk offensive, which was short lived, and they lose ground slowly every day. While I agree that this can go on indefinitely, I don’t think the sides are evenly matched.

This comment strikes me as incredibly out of touch and full of straw men. Nobody was impressed with the Russian military in 2022. That’s why they’ve been waging a hybrid war since before they annexed Crimea. Their economy is the size of Italy’s. Ukraine has a lot of land area for a power like that to conquer, and so it’s been adrawn-out war of attrition and slow gains. You’re asking where they are? Mostly the same place that they started, with half a million casualties and an occupied pile of rubble.

The useful idiots are the people who drag this conflict out, thinking that one side can win. We need a cease fire, the map has to be redrawn, and security guarantees need to be made to both sides regarding the region. Instead we’ll get another half million dead and a frozen conflict in the middle of the most fertile land in Europe. In the meantime we’ll keep hearing about how another 20 F-16s will turn the tide and Putin’s government is on the verge of collapse. And everyone who points out how absurd that is gets called a Russian propagandist.

They planned for Zelenskyy’s government to collapse. It didn’t. That doesn’t mean they’re unable to carry on the war indefinitely with a major advantage in manpower and war material.
