I am worried that this could be bait. Elon can see that the entire world is turning on him, but if violence escalates then Trump could use it as justification to declare Martial law.

I fully agree, but sadly, investors likely care more about their cars hitting walls than hitting kids. Killing a kid or pedestrian in the US is often a very cheap fine. When my uncle was run over on a sidewalk next to his son, the police ruled it an accident and the city refused to do anything. Same thing happened when my friend was ran over in a bike lane.... So killing humans is probably cheaper than hitting a wall.

Oof, what we did in Vietnam to the Vietnamese people was already unbelievably evil and unforgivable, but we even betrayed people that risked everything to help us? Wow.

My heart breaks for all the people who died in that terrible war: the innocent Vietnamese who merely wanted to be free to self determine and also the young boys that the US sent to their death for absolutely no good reason.

Yeah, we can have tech without single use plastics, car dependency, and neo-feudalism (late stage capitalism)

Is it an artifical block or is windows 11 just so bloated that it can't run correctly on older hardware?

Isn't Android open source? I like Linux, but I alternate being amazed by Linux and frustrated by how buggy the experience is. Everything on my Android phone / tablet just works effortlessly. But with Linux, it is a crap shoot. My Linux audio drivers kept popping my speakers and it took me hours to figure out the bug. Then when I run wine for a game it randomly thinks it doesn't have enough storage space. Or how Chrome was having memory leaks. Or all the times I have had to use special bash commands or directly edit configuration files

People hate Israel. They see Israel as being one of the greatest evils of our time.

People also hate Russia for invading Ukraine.

If China invades Taiwan then they will lose all the goodwill they have worked so hard to build over the last 20 years.

Exactly. If California voted to leace the US tomorrow then they would have every right to be free. Same for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Catalonia, and Südtirol.

Eh, precedent is severely overrated. China doesn't have any right to Taiwan because all people have a right to self determination. China invading Taiwan would be just as terrible as Spain forcing Catalonia to remain, or the US using violence to keep California from seceding.

I considered that, but Switzerland was under seige by fascists on 3 fronts from 1939 to 1944 (the Nazis pressured the French-Swiss border and Italian fascists pressured the Italian-Swiss border)

I have had multiple employers tell me that my degrees make me overqualified, so idk, apparently having a degree hurts as much as it helps these days
