- Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue. 5 hours ago:
Lol! Trump wants a thing. They don’t want to do it. So, they toss him something shiny to make him forget the thing he wanted?
- Comment on Trump threatens EU with 35% tariff if investment pledge falls through 1 day ago:
This is just textbook extortion. Why would anyone go along with this?
- Comment on Every year, sanctions kill more people than wars 4 days ago:
So…war is better?
- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 4 days ago:
Probably all the same people complaining about this, are the same ones who support “traditional values” like child marriage.
- Comment on Trump to build huge $200mn ballroom at White House 6 days ago:
Doesn’t he already have a country club for this?
- Comment on Meta touts 'superintelligence' for all as it splurges on AI 1 week ago:
These idiots are just so drunk on their own bullshit.
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 1 week ago:
Why would you need to do a test if something, when you can simply observe the same results from a naturally occurring event?
Science isn’t about doing things just to see what happens. That’s absurd. And wildly unethical.
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 1 week ago:
Lol! This isn’t going to save it. The problem will just keep getting worse, no matter how dim we make the sun…because the sun isn’t the problem.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 week ago:
Isn’t this currently what Russia is trying to do with their internet?
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 1 week ago:
Honestly, that is actually a perfect example of how stupid this whole idea is. Imagine actively promoting the burning of sulfur, in order to try and reflect sunlight. That is the definition of the solution creating even more problems than it solves.
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 1 week ago:
1st of all…the Sun isn’t the problem. It isn’t getting brighter or hotter. The problem is us. So, “fixing” something that isn’t broken, isn’t going to actually “fix” anything. It will just introduce additional variables to an already ridiculously complex equation.
Not to mention, it may even give the fossil fuel industry and its supporters a justification to continue doing more damage, under the false pretense that the problem has been “solved”. So, where does it stop? When we’ve blocked out the Sun entirely, but are still choking to death on our own industrial exhaust?
- Comment on Recognizing Palestine state before established could be ‘counterproductive,’ Italian premier says 1 week ago:
“Before established”? Doesn’t that require international recognition, first? There are two bodies claiming to represent Palestine. The only way either of them can be considered valid, is if they are recognized by the international community. That’s what gives them authority to negotiate on behalf of the Palestinian people. That’s what’s currently missing.
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 1 week ago:
Fuck, no! We do not understand anything about anything, well enough to start fucking with shit on this scale.
- Comment on US criticizes French inquiry into social media platform X 1 week ago:
It is such a stupid thing for Twitter to “deny” this is happening. Of course it’s happening. Everyone knows it’s happening. The problem lies with, what are they expecting Twitter to DO about it? Ban anyone who posts anti-establishment or non-conforming content?
What twitter should be doing, is banning any and all bot users from the platform. This would solve the majority of the problem. No bot armies…no artificially amplified narratives.
Will twitter do this? Fuck no. That’s why Twitter sucks. France should just ban the whole platform, if they want the interference to stop.
- Comment on Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global 2 weeks ago:
Something, something…Don Quixote, I think.
- Comment on Donald Trump Said He Promised Ivanka He Wouldn't Date Girls Younger Than Her | “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.” 😬 2 weeks ago:
And obviously there was a reason she made this request.
- Comment on It’s the little things 3 weeks ago:
Your floor would have to be supernaturally flat and level for that to happen.
- Comment on As seen on TV 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget duct tape.
- Comment on Chinese Scientists Create Cyborg Bees That Can Be Controlled Like Drones for Undercover Military Missions 3 weeks ago:
But not for pollination?
- Comment on US | Trump announces 50% tariff on copper, starting Aug 1 4 weeks ago:
“Copper is necessary for Semiconductors, Aircraft, Ships, Ammunition, Data Centres, Lithium-ion Batteries, Radar Systems, Missile Defence Systems, and even, Hypersonic Weapons, of which we are building many,” Mr Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The US depends on imports for nearly half of its refined copper needs, and brought in 810,000 metric tons in 2024, according to the US Geological Survey.
Sounds like exactly the kind of resource you should go out of your way to make more expensive and more difficult to acquire. /s
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
So you think rich people don’t care about losing money? I’m not sure you understand what I’m talking about.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
Which “rich” are you talking about? The one rich guy in charge…or the many rich people that are watching their investment bottom out, because of him?
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
And yet, he’s costing the rich a ton of money by tanking the value of his stock. That should take precedence over whatever “the board” decided to give him. The investors are the priority in a capitalist system…not the board. The board’s job is to maximize investor returns. That’s all.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
Then it sounds like it would be a slam-dunk to prove in court, that the board is no longer honoring its fiduciary duties to its investors.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
Then Tesla’s investors should organize a class action suit against the board, for acting against their best interests.
- Comment on Tesla loses $68 billion in value after Elon Musk says he is launching a political party 4 weeks ago:
They should be seriously considering firing this fuck, by now. Everything he’s done for the last couple of years has cost his investors money.
- Comment on If corporations are the GOP and the GOP are corporations why isn't it assumed that corporations will stem inflation due to tarrifs while the GOP is in power even if its at loss? 4 weeks ago:
Why would losing money, “consolidate power for the GOP”? The only people that matter to the GOP are the ones that stand to lose money. Their interests come first. The peasants will do as they’re told, regardless.
- Comment on If corporations are the GOP and the GOP are corporations why isn't it assumed that corporations will stem inflation due to tarrifs while the GOP is in power even if its at loss? 4 weeks ago:
Why would they take a loss, when they can just make their customers pay for it instead?
- Comment on Why doesn't the US government just tax illegal immigrants a little bit more than the Average american? Then use those funds to fix infastructure or a new WPA of the 21st century? 4 weeks ago:
Because the point isn’t to actually “fix” anything.
- Comment on Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? 5 weeks ago:
No. Unfortunately, they don’t. But, they SHOULD!
