She’s friends with bush… Don’t assume anything

My thought is that this is a way to hone the north Korean military. They don’t know what’s wrong until they try and use it.

Conspiracy time! Epstein was an Israeli plant to get information to blackmail politicians with. His career doesn’t make any sense unless there’s outside influence. Maxwell has some ties to mossad, but it’s shaky at best, and Israel is really small. It’s fairly easy to have relationships with people employed by any organization because of how small it is

BYD is also a battery company that makes cars. They can afford to lose a little on the car, when they make money overall.

You’re right. China gave up it’s permanent seat on the security council to ensure other nations don’t recognize Taiwan as anything but China.

Who in the entire world has stopped and thought, ‘I’d like an Ellen special. I loved her standup 30 years ago. It would be cool to hear some new stuff from her’ Who?

Will using it blow up my hardware?

If I was running a country and preparing to cut cables like that, it would be because I’d infected the enemy with some type of virus that when activated would wreak havoc over their internet. I’d cut the cables immediately before activation. However, I might be smarter than the Russian leadership, and I don’t run a country.

Political ideology is independent of where you live. Educate yourself

That’s what I’m seeing as well. I thought this was largely a propaganda move to show Russia isn’t as strong as thought to the Russian people. It’s an attack on Putin more than anything else.

This argument makes most sense if you’re arguing in favor of revolution

In the last two weeks, Russia had a nuclear warning system bombed and multiple NATO allies stated that it was OK for Ukraine to use their weapon donations to attack Russian territory.

This smells like a Russian attack to say ‘we can do things without bombs’.

I doubt that Russia is stupid enough to do a cyber attack that would stop the capability of future cyber attacks.

I agree, but that’s a slippery slope. Lots of countries use slavery to make cheap goods. But yes. Slavery in all forms should be abolished

The US manufacturers get bailed out every 30 years or so, so why there’s a specific reason the most recent time becomes less relevant. What makes BYD specifically so cheap isn’t the government subsidies, which NA manufacturers also get, but it’s vertical integration. BYD is a battery company that started to make cars. They can sell the batteries to the car side of the businesd below cost as long as the final product makes the larger corporation a profit. Tesla for example buys it’s batteries from Panasonic. Panasonic has to make a profit. That makes the Tesla much more expensive than it should be.

These NA car companies always get bailed out. They should’ve been making kei trucks, and small electric cars for ages, but they don’t need to because they’ll just get bailed out if they fail.

These tariffs are another form of a bailout. Maybe instead of bailing these guys out we should nationalize them.

Please look up ‘embrace, extend, extinguish’ Meta should be met with open hostility in the fediverse. Mastodon losing nonprofit status in Germany, moving to the states and then appointing this guy leads me to think that mastodon has been compromised

People can change their minds.

That might be worth a listen for you. There’s lots of reason for a lot of people to dislike biden. If your choice is between Trump and a guy that’s actively supporting genocide, I can’t blame you for not voting.

To be clear, I’d vote biden, but I can’t blame people for not voting.

I’m going to jump in here. I’ve watched 3 episodes.

Some of the dialogue does feel bad, but in my experience it’s from the vault dwellers. I think it’s intentional.

Goggins playing a smooth af character delivers everything with a smooth confidence. He’s a joy to watch.

The other actors do well. The sets and costumes are great. The plot feels very paint by numbers, but that’s the era we live in.
