You do not have to look beyond Elon’s own Twitter accounts posts, retweets, and likes, to see that he is a full fledged white supremacist. Calling him a Nazi is appropriate.
Re:Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court on Friday February 20, 2026 @11:34AM (#47090228)
Except that isn’t relevant at all. This Supreme Court is completely cooked. If the case was “can Trump dissolve New York as a state” you would still have 3 justices siding in his favor with some dog shit reasoning.
Re:Europe could 'weaponize' $10T of US assets over Greenland on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @10:53AM (#46693148)
I keep trying to call the White House to express my disapproval but they just call me a dumb lib and send a gang of ICE officers to my neighborhood to kidnap my neighbors.
Re:Design and Implementation of Sprites on Thursday January 15, 2026 @02:44PM (#46638111)
Sounds neat! Also kind of funny, because I already use Fly machines as a bit of a playground for some personal projects and really like it for that purpose. I have minor issues, some of which this blog post directly talks about, but nothing that has held me back.

Also I like a lot of what you get built-in with Fly machines(ex:Grafana). So I am curious how this would fit in my workflow. Maybe Sprites for rapid development and toy projects, and move to a Fly machine when I need something a little more beefy?

Looking forward to checking this out.

Re:More big companies bet they can still grow without hiring on Monday October 27, 2025 @12:26PM (#45722879)
Biden did exactly what you are asking for in “massive investment and employment in industries with positive externalities” and your average voter didn’t give a shit.
I think distilling in that far is missing the point that this is a republican and right wing issue. It doesn’t “just so happen” that republicans are in power while this is happening, they are the ones who are doing it.
It’s not odd though. This administration has been very clear that they think things like rules of engagement or caring about collateral damage are bullshit.

On a weekly basis now, they are blowing up civilian boats without any evidence wrong doing. Even if they had evidence, it still wouldn’t warrant using hellfire missiles on civilian ships, especially when the U.S. navy or coastguard is more than capable of intercept these ships.

Re:Generational Luck in the Housing Market on Thursday April 04, 2024 @12:11PM (#39932298)
Now do average cost of houses.
That isn’t how it works. Your own bubbles are green, all the “external” people in the chat have “regular” colors. Ex: I am using dark mode, so their bubbles show as dark for me, and mine are green.
Not saying this to defend Apple, but last week I had that same location tracking pop up for Apples Weather app.
This does not reinforce what OP originally claimed.
This is false.
Re:Why Don't We Teach People How to Parent? on Friday February 02, 2024 @01:39PM (#39232445)
If that’s true of raising a pet, than that person probably shouldn’t try raising a child.

The Wild West, very famous for not having guns.
Haven’t seen anyone mention how Apple is exploring deals with news publishers, like the NYTimes, to train its LLMs[1].

Big time. I have a neighbor about half a block from me that would harass me when I would walk my dogs by his house. Based on his behavior I assume he struggles with some mental issues.

The one positive is I avoid his house completely, so now my standard dog walking route is a block longer, so more exercise for me and the dogs.

Do you mean for work use, or for all their computing needs? I’ve never used a personal computer for work.

The government is constantly forgiving debts. What are you talking about?
Re:U.S. pedestrian deaths reach a 40-year high on Monday June 26, 2023 @11:53AM (#36481402)
If you pull up behind a car stopped at a pedestrian crossing, your assumption should be they are stopped for a pedestrian.
They made it up, because we are certainly still allowed to clap at events.
It happening in rare instances isn’t sufficient for the OP to claim “we aren’t allowed to clap at events because clapping is too violent”.
Yeah I’ve definitely been to events where quiet or no clapping is preferred (ex: poetry readings) but the OP claiming we aren’t aloud to clap at events anymore because it’s too violent sounds like someone who hasn’t actually been to a public event in the last year.
They made it up.
Being drunk during all of your free time is socializing?
In terms of recent releases, Banshees of Inisherin was the first thing that sprung to mind.
They haven’t seen any good movies because they are too busy bitching about the world passing them by on the internet.
Sorry, but you are just generalizing based on the top blockbuster movies. Films have never been more diverse in their style and quality and, in my opinion, offer something for everyone.

If you are looking for movies that focus on strong dialogue and character work those movies are still being made and are fantastic.
