Americans when a dictatorship with no free elections invades another country: "It's the people's fault! Just revolt and take him down!"
Americans when their democratically elected leader commits the worst imaginable atrocities for the 50th time in a row: "It's- It's not our fault. We voted for the other, slightly less fascist candidate! What else can we do?"
All the freedom. Zero responsibilities. That's what 200 years of no public education does to a nation.
Technically true, but nobody said the code will be at all functional. I'm pretty sure I can finish about 800000 coffees before Copilot generates anything usable that is longer than 3 lines.
It should be noted that user agent switchers may break some website functionalities. I guess this is true for nearly all privacy protections, though this is the only one that gave me any noticeable trouble.
Well, I don't think this makes any difference. Half of US soldiers' and their families' lives depend fully on the money from their service. The other half are sadists and psychopaths, either from the start or became so during their time in the military. How many of them realistically want to and/or are able to refuse orders?
Furthermore, I'm curious how many soldiers even realize they are legally protected if they refuse illegal orders, and would be prosecuted for following them. I wouldn't be surprised if this topic was conveniently skipped or covered very briefly during new recruits' training and classes.
Of course, tech CEOs are just gaslighting us to get those last AI bubble dollars. But there can be a legitimate argument made here too.
It's a classic trap many software and game developers fall into, where they keep adding more and more features to their product/service. At some point it becomes bloat and nobody uses the new features, but from the dev's perspective they are improvements. If only corporations ever cared about user feedback and not shareholder feedback.
To be fair, 'scientific studies' are increasingly less reliable, so quoting them as 'facts' has less weight. It used to be that any average person could look at an abstract and have a good enough idea to accept what the study found as fact. In 2025 this is less so, because you can't just read the abstract. You also need to read the methodology and ideally who financed the study, since half the studies published are manipulated.
In a few years Microsoft will just release Windows 12, with most of these AI features removed. Maybe they'll do some user friendly tweaks too, but just a few. And most of Windows refugees will come back, praising Microsoft for listening to the community. Meanwhile there'll be even more spyware and even less user control over the OS, but the vast majority will never notice that. That's all it takes.
As much as all of us may hate it - it's true. The only scenario in which democracy functions is one where all, or at the very least the majority of voters make their own decisions, based on objective information. This is not the case.
While it's always great to contribute, no matter how little, we cannot deny reality here. Your vote is welcome and appreciated, but the truth is it won't change anything. Voting only gets you so far when the vast majority of people are brainwashed and just pick whatever their media outlet of 'choice' tells them to pick.
It's insane that attorneys general and governors have to prove that the supposedly-richest country on the planet can in fact afford some food for its citizens. How do you look at considerably poorer countries that don't have problems feeding its people and go "Yeah, I'm not sure we can do that."
In the United States, a recession is defined as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." The European Union has adopted a similar definition. In the United Kingdom and Canada, a recession is defined as negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters.
So technically, looks like there isn't a recession. Though a huge chunk of US GDP is just imaginary and doesn't represent any value, so realistically probably yes.
To be fair, a lot of jobs in capitalist societies are indeed pointless. Some of them even actively do nothing but subtract value from society.
That said, people still need to make a living and his piece of shit artificial insanity is only making it more difficult. How about stop starving people to death and propose solutions to the problem?
