I would argue that he is also using the war in Gaza to avoid facing these charges that have been hanging over his head for years now. You know, 'cause they are at war. He is a horrible human.

The real fix is switching to Linux if possible.

That’s because I’m the aggregate they are all the same. Regardless of party most are corrupt and get along just fine behind close doors.

I mean, Pelosi made over $100 million on the stock market via inside trading, a number of GOP do the same, maybe not well as her, but they do it, too.

When objective, real Criticism is labeled as “anti-semetic” just by fact of existing, then it makes you question how much you are being lied to in so many things regarding them and their interests.

Sadly, AI cannot be trusted on this topic if that is what it does.

France is doing something akin to this by increasing their “voluntary” army. Which will not be so voluntary, in the hopes to increase trained people and army numbers.

True, water is wet.

Also, did you know that Greenland has ridiculously vast natural resources on top of being a choke point for the northwest passage?

NATO does. I mean, broken clock right twice a day and all that.

From experience, if the drive starts making clicking noises, often, and it never did before, I agree, it could be a sign that the drive is starting to die.

Best practice at that point is to make a backup of vital files. No one wants to wake up one day to a dead drive without a backup.

Even now, on one my machines one of the drives is starting to switch to READ only, which usually means something is failing and the PC tries to minimize damage by switching to that. I van fix it with a chsk on terminal but I assume its days are numbered.

OP needs to backup. Just in case.

Do not get the point here. He did in fact and historically used that name. So we are deleting history now because we are not supposed like Hitler or Elon?

Stalin was a mass murderer, so was Mao, yet they also went by some nicer names. No one has ever raised a serious issue about that.

I do not think anyone here is denying that Hitler was a National Socialist.

Slow news day, I guess.

I watch a YT channel that talks and researches History on Wales, and on that somewhat narrow topic alone, he has found some ridiculous mistakes on Wikipedia. There are tons but few people are aware as they may lack the suffiency in knowledge or background to know how wrong they are. AI will surely make that problem worse. I have caught ChatGTP to be wrong numerous times on some topics within my wheelhouse. When I tell it is wrong it “apologizes,” corrects itself and just adds what I told it. Well, if it had found the data before, then why does it have to wait until it is corrected? If kids use this for school, they are so fucked.

Who wants to put glue on their pizza?

In fairness, Obama also used Cambridge Analytica. This is not a Right or Left thing. It is a politicians vs the people thing.

So, Israel is trying to control the Narrative? You don’t say.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.

Message: “Genocide? What Genocide. You are a genocide.”

You make it sound as if human greed as part of the human condtion will suddenly and magically disappeared under any other form of trade or political system. That is not what literal history has us shown to be the case, over, and over again.

What fucked it up was he selling to the wrong company. But we do not know why he did it. For all we know, he was tired to taking lead in the project and wanted to cash out. He was entitled to do that, or what is the option, force him to work on it just for your needs or to sell to only the company that you or I approved of? What gives us the right to force their hand?

It sucks but that is what he wanted. We both agree that it us unfortunate though. It is too bad.

Right now? It is a grift.

Price needs to come down a lot be worthwhile. Hope it does and that the tech is recyclable once it us used up. No need to continue to fill in garbage dumps.

Yeah, that was extremely removed and a disgusting way to wash away the killing and ethnic cleansing of a people. Fucking Klown world for even trying.

Wish more people pointed it out.

Yeah… Can’t argue with that. Seems like a likely trend.

Still, it does not make it a smart move from the Biden admin. Since for all we know, Biden may not have been even fully aware this was happening. I heard Biden on tape on the investigation Re: he keeping documents and at points he sounds like a senile grandpa – recommend people seek it out on YT, it is extremely enlightenmenting given the timeframe.

Legal or not is not the point, is whether it was a smart move. It was not. Do not weaponize the legal tender or the mechanisms of its trade. All he did was antagonize everyone by proxy. It was simply not a smart thing and very shortsighted.

It made BRICS or alternative choices look better than they should be. I am sure most people who care about geopolitics can see that.

Exactly. If the USA wanted for go after Russia, they could have used other tools, ones that not other countries have agreed to use as freely. It was such an incredibly shortsighted move. Or, something that could be perceived as a desperate move. Since is not as if the USA is or was short on other options.

Any country with common sense would look at that action and be weary. If I was a world leader, I would be. I would certainly look at what my other choices in trade are or could be, if just in case. A direct or proxy war is not even needed, perhaps just a geopolitical or bad trade dispute could fuck your economy if the Bald Eagle decides to cut you off. It is just too high a risk to ignore.

No, I didn’t say that they were, but more like agreeing with the point that if Boeing was in deep financial problems that the FED could do the same because of the strategic concern to National Security if it were to be available to be sold or merge with others in the open market. No way the FED would allow it and would bail them out and a way to do that would be to purchase a physical stake in the company as a way to infuse operating funds into it.

I was agreeing with OP.

Objectively so should Biden then. His weaponization of the Swift system 100% accelerated the desire for most of the world to say, “Fuck the USA and its dollar.” Then, “No thanks. Let’s see what else is out there.”

Or did people already forgot that happened? And this is not me taking a side, that did happen. I think the USA is partly foundering and I do not blame you. The USA is increasing your debt by like a trillion every 100 days or so. I was talking to some friends in Finance a while ago about how the USA’s debt was flying past $33 trillion, and that was last year, I thing you guys passed $37 trillion recently and are still using the commodity of the dollar as a weapon. Most of the world sees this and thinks, they can do that to anyone they do not like, that could be us in the future.
