I apologize. I did not realize the seriousness of the situation. I will refrain from any further light-hearted jokes.

8 years olds, dude

Considering the election is likely coming down to tenths of a percent in a dozen districts in a handful of swing states I’ll take those 12 votes.

He’s still upset Zelenskyy didn’t falsify evidence about Hunter Biden for him.

So… nihilism?

I think you’ve read more into it than the Nazis have (as they are typically too dumb to read). Things are very black and white for these people. “Immigrants is bad. Springfield is immigrants. Springfield is bad.” That’s as far as the thinking goes. Then lazy Neo-Nazis that have nothing to do with the situation do whatever they can to “hurt” the “bad people” and a very easy way to do that is to call in bomb threats. And since they are not just stupid but also unoriginal and they already heard someone else called in a bomb threat…I guess that’s what we’re doing now…

Live by silly rules, die by silly rules.

I’m not saying it’s good (because it’s not) but I’m unfortunately pretty certain they’re correct.

When he heard about the incident, King Frederick IV of Denmark asked for the admiralty to court-martial Wessel.[3] He stood trial in November 1714, accused of disclosing vital military information about his lack of ammunition to the enemy, as well as endangering the ship of king Frederick IV by fighting a superior enemy force.[5] The spirit with which he defended himself and the contempt he poured on his less courageous comrades took the fancy of Frederick IV.[4] He successfully argued a section of the Danish naval code which mandated attacking fleeing enemy ships no matter the size, and was acquitted on 15 December 1714. He then went to the king asking for a promotion and was raised to the rank of captain on 28 December 1714.[5]

The balls on this man. And this is the part just before the section titled “Greatest Exploits”…

I would pay for AI-enhanced hardware…but I haven’t yet seen anything that AI is enhancing, just an emerging product being tacked on to everything they can for an added premium.

I think there is a significant distinction between “regular” working class and “earning above €400,000 per year” working class.

I think the guy you’re responding to is more talking about the distinction between income and capital gains, with income making up far less of the wealthy’s worth than existing investments.

But yes, a lot of people also have no concept of how tax brackets work.

Low and middle-income countries in Asia face significant disparities in scientific capacity and ability to influence public policy, which is likely to affect responses to future pandemics, climate change and technological advancements such as Artificial Intelligence, according to the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA).

I originally read the title as “it is more difficult to influence public policy in least-developed countries based on this study” but it appears it’s actually “it is more difficult for scientists to advocate for science-backed policies in least-developed countries.”

Well now how am I supposed to enjoy the sensation of someone else’s sweaty hand sliding down the pole to slowly touch mine while they remain oblivious of the entire situation?

“I just really love that clogged drain experience when I shower.”

I mean, it would probably be a good opportunity for a handful of really rich people to further their control and ownership globally…so as long as our billionaire overlords value human life over their own personal power we should be good.

This would explain the other article I saw about a US-Clooney $20 billion arms deal.

Overall job satisfaction among U.S. employees increased a modest 0.4 percentage points in 2023 from the year prior, according to the Conference Board’s annual Job Satisfaction survey released this month. A 62.7% majority of respondents reported being content at work last year, the highest share since the survey began in 1987.

But that record doesn’t tell the whole story: Worker sentiment fell across all 26 subcomponents of job satisfaction measured in the poll, which collected responses online from 1,699 working U.S. adults in November.

Wat?
