It’s the opposite actually. Everyone got the Ukraine memo. If you don’t have nukes or modern weaponry, another country can and will invade.

The success of the modern weapons Ukraine have been receiving is also proof that in case of invasion you want these weapons immediately deployable, not delayed until your aggressor has laid minefields and trenches across your territory, and not with strings attached wherein you can’t actually hit your aggressors territory.

It isn’t hard to imagine complications with electricity or lethal injection at all though?

We’d all be more interested in your counterpoints than your derision.

Dictatorships are typically resisted with force and ended with force.

It is what it is.

Making comments like this is a huge self-own. There are MacBook users whose software powers a good portion of your daily life.

If Vietnam and Malaysia can be bullied into giving up territorial claims to China WTF is Nauru going to do in response to any pressure?

Non-story.

So go vote for Trump and fulfill your accelerationist ambitions.

If you think both candidates are the same on climate change then I’m sorry that previous environmental protections failed you.

I’m going to vote for Biden because Trump is a terminal danger to the United States.

It’s not that hard of a choice.

Thanks for wishing me good luck but I hope you vote Biden as well.

This logic is what they applied to the gut the EPA.

iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, AirTags. None of those products were the first, just the first competent product that offers good usability in a sea of otherwise mediocre options.

As long as electronics makers keep sleeping at the wheel Apple will be able to capitalize on creating things people actually want to use.

The Vision Pro will be the next test. If it fails, and the follow up doesn’t sell, Apple will face a rude awakening and their stock value will drop. If they can’t succeed in the category after that, it will tank.

Yeah but how do you wade through the fields of bullshit to find a decent PC laptop? PC manufacturers have like 200 SKUs.

Like I go to dell.com, what’s the best option? Inspiron? Precision? Latitude? Vostro? Which of those lines is “premium”? And each of those lines has like 4 models each. And that’s just one manufacturer.

But ultimately you buy one of those machines, bring it home, boot up windows and get served ads in the fucking start menu.

Meanwhile I bought the lamest laptop in Apple’s lineup for my daughter, and the thing is solid aluminum with a great display, huge trackpad, great battery and lightning fast processor.
