This is pointing out something that seems to be deeply human, it's not intended as a personal dig, because I think I'd be in the same boat: It's interesting, not unexpected and not un-understandable, that your opinion started

I do find it interesting that the author specifies they use an ad blocker whilst also wanting to view the industry 'from the inside'. I'm not sure there isn't a level of hypocrisy there, albeit understandable. As staunch

I can't shake the feeling that Trump's continual needling of Europe is intended the destroy NATO. And this is a desire of Putin's. I know it's conspiratorial, and I hate that, but it's one of the only things that ma

If their actions have made this level of blackmail possible, then said actions are the worse thing because that's what made this scale of blackmail possible. Their actions are the foundation for everything that came after.

Hopefully he's as successful as he was in convincing Trump not to bomb Iran. What is also interesting is how this support of Orban will also drive further division between the US and the rest of the EU, given Hungary seems to be a gene

Yeah, well, that's how capitalism was meant to work, but mostly seems to have been implemented with various thumbs on scales (which is also true for most of the -isms). Feels kinda like the thumbs on the scales resulted in the (d)evo

"not US" is carrying an increasing amount of water. Rationally or otherwise.

Yeah, there's another thread showing a similar trend. In a strange way it's making Trump's incessant nonsensical big-upping of himself and the US as-a-whole make sense in a cultural context that I hadn't thought was as p

I believe the movie Aliens (1986) has one of the best movie uses of auto turrets.

Cuba's government is not the Cuban people, that's part of the whole point isn't it?

So, when Trump says to US "allies" to "go get your own oil" he's literally inviting them into a shooting gallery that the even Hegseth is too smart to take on. Nice. https://www.abc.net.au/news/

"OK guys, back to the drawing board. How can we market this better? How long do we wait until this WILL fly under the radar?"

Hard disagree. It brought panhandling to where generosity once prevailed. It brought us social media engagement metrics and 140-character-limited 'interaction' and cluttered, flashing, distracting, human-psyche hacking interfaces.

Old school internet. Internet done right. Great work giis. I haven't used it, I didn't know it existed until now, but I'm happy it exists and has been providing service to those who need it. There should be more of this.

Microsoft would probably seriously refer to it as 'just the tip'. You'll never guess what happens next. (Hint: everyone knows what happens next)

I'd left the lawnmower outside for a few days, with the grass-catcher detached, sitting on it's side held stable and upright between the mower and the wall. The cats would often sniff at, and stick their heads in, then move on for

I entirely agree that the best, sustainable, and humanitarian parts of globalisation should be the ideal that's worked towards in the future. The uber-profit-driven enrichment of a very small group of people at the cost of entire commu

And "your shit" is spreading further and further, press conference by press conference. In the last hour or two the great man dropped this quote regarding NATO: "We would have always been there for them, but now, based on th

There's talk about this in Australia too, to keep the power companies viable or to maintain their profit margins I'm not sure but I know to which option my opinion leans. It's a worse deal for people who have spent the capita

The fact there has to be a 'fight' about this tells you all you need to know about the direction the company's leadership wants to take. Get out before their terms allow them to sue your company and hold your data to ransom i

This may not be entirely appropriate to the reasons behind the article, but it feels tangentially related: I'd like to say a brief thank you to what the brief, golden period of globalisation was able to bring us. I hope that that level

That is true. What is also true is that media has been saying both: - Don't panic buy, we've got plenty - We'll start running out in mid-April. So, unlike TP during COVID, which can be manufactured locally, there is a dark cl

They all joined ICE. And they wouldn't be the types to sign up to face an opponent who is more dangerous than a young mother driving their kids to school or a uni student walking home.

Other than the overblown headline, Fink has a strong interest (as in 100%) in not causing market panic. The statement about oil prices is probably a public statement to Trump to "get this situation resolved ASAFP, I've told you wh

It is a good point. I'm in the privileged position that I have solar panels and can charge in the garage. I only just had a conversation with someone who was considering an EV, but their 'housing configuration' doesn't s

The main thing that worries me about the use of fossil fuels is the heavy machinery where said heavy machinery is used for farming food. There are service stations in rural Victoria that have run out of petrol[0]. If farmers can't run
