We’re not talking about the same thing. Bribery isn’t the only way to use money in politics

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

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

Half-loathing

I make my own though

Yeah the article mentioned that at some point. It still seems a bit petty to geofence it, instead of just calling it something else

Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.

This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.

Why is a feature like that geofenced in the first place?

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory

The law’s impact on Bell’s experience highlights the inhumane consequences of abortion restrictions, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and even death.

The purpose of a system is what it does

Men are going off the deep end

Guns are inanimate.

People who do dumb shit like this are dumb.

And in your opinion, how could I have better represented someone test firing a gun in their own goddamn hand?

Wait, you’re right. After your reply I think “moron” was way too lenient of me.

Please tell me you weren’t wearing eye or ear protection, that’d make this even better.

Yeah, using the wrong kind of filament accidentally is understandable and doesn’t say anything about anyone’s intelligence.

Takes a real moron to test fire a brand new experimental gun in their hand, and then cry about it and blame their friend when it inevitably goes sideways

I just remember news about Germany planning to halve military aid to Ukraine from the summer, but honestly I haven’t been keeping up with the situation

But considering that Ukraine has been facing consistent shortages of materiel – including things like various kinds of artillery ammunition (although part of the problem especially with shells is that production is still ramping up) – that really doesn’t seem to have been the case. A lot of the equipment they’ve been given has just been token amounts that are clearly not enough but makes it seem like at least we’re doing something.

And none of that necessarily translates to a sufficient will to help Ukraine. Germany has already been making it clear they want to scale down support

While allies of US President-elect Donald Trump insist that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may have to cede territory to bring the conflict to an end, Sir Tony insisted that Western allies would be resolute for “as long as it takes”.

Let’s see how long that resolution holds once the US stops aid and starts blackmailing other countries to do the same by eg. threatening to cut NATO funding

That’s too many nuts. The recommended maximum amount of nuts is 2
