The next guy is gonna be all like “here’s a RTX 4050. It’s the greatest graphics card ever! You’ll be able to play at 4k with raytracing at amazing fps. You’ll be able to create AI models like a pro, faster than anyone else. Don’t worry about the price, we’ll put it on credit (for $50,000 over the next 20 years-) it’ll be cheap and amazing! Trust me, only I can save your build.”

Clinical trials will still happen for approvals in other countries, even if the FDA collapses.

That’s right. It’s the natural order of things that the many live in service to the few. They were born superior after all and deserve our service. We should fight and die for them too whenever they wish to use us to acquire more resources. We should worship those that sacrifice for our masters and encourage them with extra resources so they can breed more children to fight for our masters.

You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.

US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.

The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.

This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren’t working, they don’t deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can’t work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.

They don’t care to understand the details or the nuance. They don’t need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.

I hate that i’m saying this, but Canada or somewhere in the EU are probably your best bets. If Project 2025 goes according to plan we’re going to see a great upheaval come Q1 2025 that probably clusterfucks everything.

Long term with christian school mandates via defunding education and funding vouchers will further create a hostile nation for anyone who does not conform to a heterosexual white nationalist christian identity.

All republicans who refused to fall in line with MAGAtism at pretty much all levels of public representation have been beyond destroyed politically.

Look at all of trumps “enemies” and those he calls “traitors” to see the ones eliminated based on his word.

Until there is a total of 60 votes one way or another, both sides can effectively veto bills forever with a filibuster in the senate. Still, in the absence of said filibuster it’s nice to be able to pass legislation through the senate.

Good to see the needle moving from the insanity that has been the last ~9 years of politics but there is so much foundational damage that simply won’t build any bridges to bring the country back to it’s center. Maybe if we’re lucky it will lessen the extremist rhetoric especially after trump is out of the running… but i’m not holding my breath.

The unstoppable toddler, coming to an imax near you.

I would just use my desktop for that use case. There’s still a small minority of games that just don’t work via proton but it’s really a minority.

I’ve also seen a handful of games with linux builds that just don’t run properly because they update the game but don’t do enough QA to the linux build or simply don’t put resources towards linux issues to the same degree that windows gets.

A handful of games need slight nudges one way or another but overwhelmingly it just works. Way better than it was just a few years ago.

I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i’m done with windows.

Honestly, i’m really not that far off as-is. Steam Deck already runs most of my library, it’s just the games that don’t work with a controller that are a problem.

How come human drivers have more fatalities and injuries per mile driven?

Musk can die in a fire, but self driving car tech seems to be vastly safer than human drivers when you do apples to apples comparisons. It’s like wearing a seatbelt, you certainly don’t need to have one to go from point A to point B, but you’re definitely safer with it - even if you are giving up a little control. Like a seatbelt, you can always take it off.

Except USA is no-longer a country of law, it’s a corrupt oligarchy.

It’s always been this way. The internet just does a better job of propagating information about it.

I kind of figured that’s been the point from the beginning. If you can’t win an election legitimately because the educated see through your bullshit, do illegal things that cannot be tracked or that is “legal” just despicable, like deregister non-republican voters and make sure your planted vote counters make sure they all seem to show up R or aren’t counted because they are “fraudulent” - because the watchers are all your people there’s nothing to be done to challenge it.

these are the same people who have been accusing every single democrat ever of fraudulent things by any means necessary. They’ve wanted to impeach biden for “fraud” but can’t find any wrongdoing. They are also the people who attempted to create fake electoral votes to seize power after losing the popular vote.

It’s pretty sad the legal system is bought and paid for by billionaires who have no interest in allowing the courts to actually follow the law unless it results in lower taxes and higher subsidies for them. If the judges actually did their jobs a lot more people would be in jail for election interference.

Do you know how much money paid to the “monarchy” goes to the upkeep, maintenance and renovation of the properties that attract tourism?

Have you seen the revenue those properties make, and how 88% go to the treasury ministry?

edit: downvotes because nobody wants to actually figure out anything about the situation. I’m not even british, i’m fucking American but even I know the “royal family” brings in way more money than the architecture any fucking day. So much bullshit infests the news cycle from them, if people didn’t give a shit then they wouldn’t put it in the news - because the stuff in the news is what sells.

It seems to me like most IT and Coding roles are completely overstaffed and plummeting in pay, where you can get them. So many layoffs from high quality high pay roles.

Interest rates are scaring businesses enough that they are dumping highly compensated new business and project based technical engineering staff to keep that profit margin-a-growin’ despite stalling top line growth - but the entry level grunt work jobs to keep the status quo simply aren’t going away. Amazon will always need delivery drivers and warehouse workers. Businesses typically need customer service roles locally in some capacity, especially for retail stores. All these jobs pay around minimum wage or barely over, far from the living wage required to raise a family. I’d bet that’s where the overwhelming majority of growth is, especially as we defund education in the south and midwest.

Because it makes money and is entertaining.

Without the celebrity status and novelty there would be a lot less tourism in Britain. It’s not like people go there for the food or the weather.

In a future where dumpy is president until 2024… six years pass

2026: “The problem with democrats is that they ruined social security! they are making it bankrupt!”-Republican Party, who voted down the “re-fund social security by taxing billionaires 1% more” bill across party lines in the senate, 51-49. (or simply filibustered forever…)
