A scapegoat is someone used to blame as an alternative to yourself. Religion isn’t really a “person”, but it’s often used as a way to shift blame away with a “God told me to do it” and God is considered a person driving most religions.

It’s really not that hard to understand what I meant from context clues and, given my comment’s positive voting average and your negative one, you seem to be in the minority of not getting it.

“Don’t kill women” making “OG Islam” somehow “better” is a pretty low fucking bar.

Nearly all religion is a regressive cancer on society used as a scapegoat to do terrible things.

Or don’t. Generative AI is good for specific use cases, but not this massive bullshit people keep using it for.

While that may be “an option”, 5G sucks compared to coax service.

Both are inferior to fiber by a long shot, but wired will always be better than cellular, which is limited spectrum and inconsistent.

Anker smoke. Don’t breath this.

Or drop nukes on civilian cities.

Or bomb a harbor without provocation.

What’s your fucking point? There were plenty of atrocities during World War 2. You just don’t hear as much about the ones the winners made, because history is written by victors.

I was more saying cheap “when companies moved in”. Now it just has the workforce and supply chain knowledge/infrastructure because of those investments.

Corporate fucktard assholes are running out of cheap labor around the world. They keep moving it around, but eventually there won’t be any place to go.

“Unfounded US propaganda”.

Are you saying China DIDN’T aggressively take over Hong Kong and all of the businesses that operated there?

Xi is the head of the government in a totalitarian, communist regime. Just because he might be “leaving BYD alone” or whatever today does not mean that couldn’t change in an instant.

The United States is its own form of screwed up and is an absolute mess. I’m not sitting over here going 'US good. China bad". I’m making the point they’re both bad in different ways.

Foreign investment was because of cheap labor and companies being subsidized by the communist government…

BYD might make a better car than Tesla, but saying that a Chinese company isn’t “under the control of Xi Jinping”, the guy who crushed Hong Kong for having too much independence and wants to do the same with Taiwan, is laughable.

No you’re dead on.

AI has been a net-negative for society.

While Biden is 100% a supporter of genocide, Trump is all that AND more.

There are actually studies that show intelligence and more explicit language go hand-in-hand, so it’s actually the opposite of your presumption. When I find it, I’ll link the study here in a comment edit.

That’s Russia and China in a nutshell. Trump does it too, but that’s just because he’s mimicking daddy Putin.

The American war machine was getting light pocketbooks. Gotta start another conflict.

It’s part of the strategy. Keep people’s heads spinning and see what sticks. Even if one or two things survive, it pushes everything towards their goal.

Never say never. There are actually several areas where I’ve seen fiber build out from government grants.

That said, they are EXCEPTIONALLY rare and typically scumbag ISPs pocket the money with no consequences, since nobody who writes these laws sets up consequences for failing to deliver.

This.

That said, it’s rare that only one or two outlets in a garage are tied to a breaker. Usually they’re all on one circuit in older homes, in my experience.

If you can find a circuit like this, though, it’s perfectly valid. Many chargers made for 110V also have a 230V/15 or 20 amp mode. My Mother-in-law’s portable charger has a 230V NEMA 2-20 adapter that comes in the bag with it.

It was a streamed app you could get from web sites and stuff. It was stupid and made little sense.

I doubt this crash is Boeing’s fault. The airframe in this crash was considered very safe.

The more probable cause is Air India being lax in safety.
