The US was Europe’s biggest ally.
If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 2 days ago:
I think that’s called “murder”
- Comment on DeepSeek accused of powering China’s military and mining US user data 2 days ago:
How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?
I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

I’ll be surprised once the Russians actually manage to do something right
- Comment on What happened to the fediverse stats here? 1 week ago:
Hanlon’s Razor is all well and good as a heuristic, but tends to lead to people discounting malice much too often
- Comment on What happened to the fediverse stats here? 1 week ago:
I absolutely don’t know, but my guess would be spambots or somesuch

You should stop using the PowerCore 10000 ‘immediately’
Engadget “journalists” don’t know how to use quotes

But isn’t that still your pride talking?
I guess what I’m trying to get at here is that I doubt the people giving the gift see your son (or you) as a charity case. To your son’s best friend it’s just about giving his bestie a gift he knows he’ll like
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
If they’re actually wealthy and they said this was just chump change for them, and it was a gift, I just don’t quite see where the “unhealthy dynamic” is. You sure this isn’t just about pride?

If they’re fine with it, what’s the problem exactly?
- Comment on Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't? 3 weeks ago:
feel like hangovers from an old mediaeval version of the language.
This is pure conjecture on my part, but I think that might be the explanation.
Also like @Forester@pawb.social alluded to, English really isn’t one language, but more like 4(+) languages in a trench coat pretending to be one. Lots of weird shit that really doesn’t make much sense unless viewed from a perspective of language development & history

Unrelated but:
ex top-tech employee who is incredibly happier now that I left
As another recovering IT professional: ain’t nothing incredible about that.
I’d rather starve than work in IT again.

Yyyyeeaaah me neither
- Comment on What would happen if Punxsutawney Phil comes out, and immediately dies? 3 months ago:
I bet that the particular universe where Phil dies just collapses on itself, killing everyone in the process. Thankfully so far there’s always been at least one universe with a Phil that doexn’t die

- Comment on Gifts from Ted 4 months ago:
Oh shit, I used to have that shirt. Really dating myself here, heh
- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 4 months ago:
Oh yeah that’s generally true, but something like calling a person fat just sounds like someone’s being an asshole and then when they get called out they turn it into your problem for being “too sensitive” because it was “just a joke” – ie. continuing to be an asshole
- Comment on I wonder how things are going in America today... 4 months ago:
This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society

We’re not talking about the same thing. Bribery isn’t the only way to use money in politics
- Comment on Brazil’s First Lady insults Elon Musk ahead of G-20 summit 7 months ago:
You’re kidding yourself if you think that someone pouring a couple of billion dollars into things like PR etc wouldn’t sway an election in any country
- Comment on Brazil’s First Lady insults Elon Musk ahead of G-20 summit 7 months ago:
The sad part is that Musk is rich and petty enough that he could buy any election result he wanted in just about any country
