Start shooting copper thieves in the head and you will see that they really are finite.

The amount of copper thieves is finite. The fact that this keeps happening means that, if anything, there isn't enough retribution.

There is your goal and there is reality. Given what I’ve said they should’ve sold 100 or so. It really looks like shit.

Given the price, the design, the size, and everything in between, this seems a massive success to me.

The EU also has rampant inflation even though we have no AI sector to speak of.
It seems to me they have realised they can continue printing money to keep stealing from us forever and nobody seems to care.

"stabilising unskilled labour" in this context means dumping the salaries of the natives, making it so unskilled sectors no longer provide a living wage.

This is because politicians who fill the country with immigrants do so because they don't care in the slightest about the population and it shows in all facets of governance.

Re:Steam censors LGBTQ+ content on behalf of the Russian Government
on Thursday November 27, 2025 @12:32PM (#46071420)
I have read all comments (there are not that many as of now) and I have not seen a single one defending the Russian government.
There are many comments comparing this censorship to the censorship that other countries are famous for having applied for a long time, and therefore it seems to me that those comments are decrying all kinds of censorship. This is only an issue for those who think censorship is good when it is applied to things they don’t like.

What is “left libertarianism” supposed to look like? I find this concept baffling. The end result of libertarianism is nothing like what the left is supposed to support.

I’m European and nobody cares about WW2. References to that period of time do not go beyond punchlines. I have no idea why Tesla sales are cratering but this isn’t it.
