In the 1990s, we all knew. And we had enough time and the technology to stop it.

That technology was nuclear, since solar and wind just weren't developed enough back then.

But we collectively decided that nuclear power was too risky, so now we are here today.

After the election win, I am no longer that certain in how bad of an investment Twitter was for Musk.

It probably helped the Trump campaign somehow, even if not decisive.

And he will probably get billions in AI subsidies which he will partially spend on licensing Twitter content for AI purposes.

Yep.

Entertainers get the big bucks because millions and billions of normal people spend a lot of time and money being entertained by them.

And we are always looking for the cool and funny next thing. And hawk tua girl legitimately entertained millions of us for 30 seconds.

That subreddit was one of the few things I miss from the Trump days.

Looking forward to the quality leopardsatamyface posts the next four years

Some people are downvoting you, but I just want to give you a high five for trying to make best out of a shitty situation.🙏

Ahh, I didn't know it was already June next year.

Hopefully my current phone will last another year.

Yep, this is it.

They are trading battery longevity for faster charging.

Personally, I generally prefer battery longevity, since that is the main factor that causes me to buy a new phone.

This is also the main reason I would like to buy a Fairphone for my next phone. I can get a new battery for $50 and replace it myself. And with 8-10 years of updates, I figure I can actually use it for 8 years with two battery replacements along the way.

The continuing American embargo on Cuba after the Cold War has always been toddler tantrum level of pettiness.

I thought Obama had finally closed that chapter, but I was wrong.

That would be more in line with the actual American tradition.

But personally, I would recommend to only allow filibusters in the House, which has a more proportional representation, and to not allow it in the Senate, which has the least proportional representation, even less than the electoral college.

Remember when liberals agitated against Bush for the Iraq war?

Bush never went into genocide territory, this is way worse, but liberals are silent.

If Trump wins, at least Democrats might be against genocide again.
