That $1.7B was a release of money that already belonged to Iran. The $300B is a straight up payout from US and other taxpayers. And we’re also giving them back $25B we withheld as part of the war effort.

I’m guessing the Russian oil sanctions we lifted because of the closure of the strait are just going to fade away as if it was never that big of a deal to begin with.

Lemme guess, they’re pissed off that Iran isn’t a smoldering husk right now?

Nothing is more masculine campaigning for a guy that called your wife ugly.

Buybacks to follow.

For now it might be a better option but this is from a private company that needs its profits to grow infinitely. Next step is drones with “non-lethal” weapons and then low-caliber ammunition. Some police already have wheeled drones that fire live ammunition.

Don’t buy American… or Israeli.

Not surprising at all. I work in IT and security is by and large reactionary and based on scans that are often rudimentary. As far as training devs on good security practices there’s next to nothing. You learn from getting your hand slapped or you don’t learn at all.

Not just that. They should be prosecuted. Reaffirm the rule that carrying out illegal orders is an illegal act.

Can we come up with a new acronym? Can’t think of an ‘O’ word rn but I got:

G rifters

O

P edophiles

I got the same thing from Robinhood. Nuts to me for not closing that account years ago.

Drones, especially if AI controlled, aren’t humans, so they can’t commit murder. I’d rather be approached by something with at least a slight fear of repercussions or the ability to feel guilt.

Stopped mid laugh because it’s just too fucking close to reality. 😮‍💨

With AI, so no-body is to blame.

They better. How the fuck is this better than chem trails?

Did Pete spill a bottle of his cologne?

The only benefits I see so far from AI are that we can avoid digging through search results (at the risk of bad answers) and make some killer hentai. And if those things aren’t worth the inflated RAM and GPU prices, lower and water air quality, acceleration of climate change, CSAM, political manipulation, assisted suicides, massive layoffs, and scholastic dishonesty then maybe you should do better than, “It’s a Chinese covert op!”

Meanwhile AI pulls this stuff there’s next to no investigation and the family gets to fight their way through civil court (if they aren’t forced into arbitration).

Edit: Didn’t catch the first time this was an in-person encounter, not her giving commands over video chat.

Oh, good. One of the few religions that isn’t predicated on making all non-members lives miserable.

I kind of agree. Pretty much anything you do daily is a habit. Not that all habits are bad, but I think even before this study I don’t think doctor in the last few decades would recommended a daily drink.

Don’t buy big name liquors from Kentucky either. They heavily back McConnell.
