The one good thing Biden did in office was appoint Lina Khan as FTC chair. The first thing Harris will do if elected is replace her at the bidding of the billionaire class who have been threatening to pull support because she has actually been doing her job enforcing antitrust violations.
Imagine telling a liberal in 2008 that the DNC would be using an endorsement from the Cheneys as a campaign strategy for their 2024 candidate. It would sound absurd beyond reason. And yet, here we are.
Our entire economy is being propped up by the AI grift now. 8 of the 10 largest companies by market cap are either spending all of their CapEx on training AI or selling the hardware necessary to do it (the only exceptions are Saudi Aramco and Berkshire Hathaway). This is just an insane funneling of money into one industry that can only result in one of two outcomes- 1. AGI is achieved and whoever wields it will have godlike power or 2. there is a market crash the likes of which we have never seen before. Guess which is more likely.
It also looks like they used the Arabic equivalent of comic sans.
That Harris/Cheney billboard is a stroke of genius, especially given its target audience of Dearborn residents. The Trump campaign has been a bit unfocused and lost ever since Biden was replaced but this is a masterclass in trolling. And it highlights how inept the Democrats are with their messaging in those key rust belt states.
How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It's only showing flat pages for me.
There's no way a human's bite is only 30% less than a dog's. Our jaws have shitty leverage to chomp down hard.
Are people rebuilding infrastructure that is destroyed by the IOF? I would think that it is disheartening to put all that time and effort into maintaining utilities that are at at such high risk of getting bombed again. How is your access to clean water these days?
You know those studies that showed that doctors administer less painkillers to black patients due to a (presumably) subconscious belief that they feel less pain than white patients? This is like that ratcheted up to 1000. I bet in Friedman's twisted mind he truly does think these are equivalent injustices because he is incapable of empathizing with Arabs.
Killed by eating a McDonald's burger is way more embarrassing on your obituary than autoerotic asphyxiation.
I've seen attempts at this (not for video games specifically but beauty standards in general) and the incelsphere response is that women are valued for their visual signifiers of fertility whereas men are valued for their ability to provide security and resources. But of course that doesn't explain why they are so hyperfocused on their own looks and how it ranks up to other males.
lol, you point out how this is divisive and then proceed to divide Gen Z into late and early cohorts.
Let's not forget that Democrats threw BLM under the bus to appease the landlord class when it was no longer politically expedient to support protests. And how quickly they walked back every "defund the police" promise without even the slightest whiff of resistance.
It's a lot harder to reliably identify you based on just a driver's license and passport photo though. Why make it easier for them by uploading your entire life on a social media platform?
It's wild how annexing any part of Germany to create a new Israel was not even mildly entertained. Can't have fellow white Europeans go through the trouble of displacement when they could just forcibly replace brown people instead.
Did he just categorize seals as hairless mammals? Because Canadians have slaughtered millions of seals for the fur trade (and still do today).
8 was the beginning of the downfall of the series by rewriting the lore established in volumes 1-3.
An executive in an American military contractor that is providing data analytics to the IDF joking about war crimes. This attack could not have been planned and executed so successfully without Palantir's services and they are gleefully celebrating their involvement without explicitly saying so.
Haley Voters for Harris is encouraging voters from across the political spectrum to vote for Kamala Harris in November.
When your only political ideology is "girlboss".
Whatever intern came up with this deserves a raise.
This AI bubble is rapidly accelerating and it will take the entire market (and global economy) down with it. And while Sam Altman didn't singlehandedly ignite the new silicon arms race, OpenAI (and ChatGPT) did usher in the era we are now living in.
Much was said about Nvidia overtaking Microsoft today to become the world's most valuable company, but take a look at the top 3:
They are ALL beneficiaries of partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft added a trillion dollars of market cap since partnering with them last year and Apple hit new all time highs after their announcement that ChatGPT will power "Apple Intelligence". And Nvidia? Well, they were just a $300 billion dollar video game card maker 5 years ago and now they are the biggest company on earth because their cards train AI models.
I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly and thoroughly the promises made by one small startup has become the economic backbone of the entire stock market. The bubble popping for this hype cycle will be one for the ages.
Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes
It seems like everyone just accepted the idea that the barbarous hordes from Gaza must obviously be raping any Israeli girl they could get their hands on, repeating those claims as if it were accepted fact. But it never made sense to me- not because such acts are beneath them, but due to the time and logistical constraints they were under during their limited time beyond the Gaza borders. But it seems like everyone, including every media outlet, wouldn't stop adding the accusations of rapes to the list of horrors Israelis faced that day.
That said, I am under no delusion that the hostages, once secured and taken to their base, are not at risk of being sexually assaulted. But nearly every interview I've seen with family members of (female) hostages seems to be highly concerned with rape as a likely outcome as if this is a common practice among Palestinians. I've seen many of them repeating that "Hamas is ISIS" and let their imaginations run wild with the worst possible scenarios.
But based on the hostages who have been released so far, we can at least say they were treated FAR, FAR better than the captives under US detainment in Abu Grahib or Guantanamo Bay.
