I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.
  • Like I keep saying - time doesn't ipso facto make you wise. Wisdom is something you earn with hard work and dedication to intellectual honesty. It does not simply come with time and you are yet another great example of this.

    Pretending like elections in North Korea and the USA are comparable is either very ignorant or wholly disingenuous.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
  • The limitations didn't target a nationality, they targetted sanctioned entities. And you know this because it has been made clear throughout this thread, including in numerous replies to your own comments. So you are demonstrably and obviously disingenious, not engaging in good faith or have yourself been misled. This behavior logically leads people to the conclusion that you are either being deliberately manipulative or you are confused and have been deliberately manipulated. Sadly, the end result is the same in both cases and regardless of your intention.

    I wish you the best. We should all be a lot more dedicated to intellectual honesty.

  • Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024
  • As someone without a computer science background and who started learning Python for data science shortly before LLMs became mainstream, I gotta say it's been pretty useful for the learning process. I don't mean I just use it to write scripts for me but rather it can be a useful sorta of guide the way a scripted advisor mihht be in a game. Seems to me that one of the good sides of LLMs is that they can make technically dofficult fields more accessible as long as you understand its limits and know what it can and cant do._ i would never use it for any sort of subjective issue but I find it great for logical tasks. And this is not to say that's its perfect for that either but it has increased my efficiency for certain work tasks tremendously.

  • How dare you...
  • Firat of all, your claim that the original post says that Harris is perfect/faultless, is obviously false. The original post does not make that claim, it doesn't even imply it. So that's a strawman.

    Second, your tone of communication strongly indicates a contrarian "holier-than-though" mindset that is typical for teenagers but also people who never grow out of mental self-indulgence. The lack of any sort of substantive argumentation doesn't help your case either.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
  • I want a lot of things too, but what I want most of all is to live in a society governed by the rule of law. There are no absolute rights - limiting the freedoms of people who are complicit in crimes or enable them is how we protect the rights of everyone else. Simple as.

  • Passive income
  • Yeah no, that's not how information literacy works. An article on usnews.com proclaiming Switzerland as the best country in the world based on self-reporting is the opposite of objective. Making an international economics-based comparison takes more than a quick google search. And keep in mind some people actually live in unstable economies. So stop bashing your country for the sake of it.

    Sincerely, An EU citizen who has lived in Switzerland and visited the US on numerous occasions.

  • Passive income
  • Just 10 or 12 years ago or so, the US and EU had comparably sized economies. Today the EU economy is between 25% to 30% smaller than the US one. And yes, I include the UK in the EU calculations just to prove the point. The reason? Higher stability and growth on average. What might seem like small differences on a year-on-year basis add up and prove to be quite substantial in terms of decades.

    So you can invest in Swedish and Swiss bonds and/or companies if you want, but chances are you're gonna lose out compared to person investing in US-based entities.

    Sincerely,

    An EU citizens who is sick of hearing Americans bashing their own country based on ignorance. There's plenty of reasons to be upset with and critical of the US. But an unstable economy is not one of them, relatively speaking. Get your facts straight.

  • Teach the children.
  • Nothing personal, but the way you put things comes across as quite sensationalist and "holier than though", mixed in with a bunch of claims that aren't well substantiated, but simply stated as fact. I feel like if you truly cared or believed in what you were saying you wouldn't package it in this sort of (frankly arrogant) manner.

  • ‘Useful Idiot for Russia’: DNC Decides to Go Off on Jill Stein
  • Or maybe its a case like Joe Rogan and Assmongold who say they're left-wing while extolling far-right narratives and conspiracy theories (and sometimes outright anti-scientific folly like 1×1=2), basically using it as a manipulative talking point to mislead their millions of followers (the vast majority of whom just happen to be white men with proto-fascist views of the world)

  • Grok do a good
  • Elon, and any other obscenely rich and powerful person for that matter, is just as flawed as any of us. They are not immune to dogma, disinformation and self-delusions. In fact, it may be the case that they are more vulnerable because power and wealth go to your head and you can use them to manifest your delusions, making them seem even more real.

    Also, he's a jackass.

  • Locked
    I'm tired, boss
  • Side topic: I find it very interesting that mods will not act against toxic comments like these that obviously use ad hominem but will remove a lot of comments that are critical of ideas that the mods support simply for existing. Go figure.

  • A new country in the world!
  • Ah, yet another 4-letter pro-Kremlin account systematically spreading lies and propaganda using the exact same narratives as Russian state-controlled media. Must be a coincidence.

  • 'Embarrassing for Putin': Russian territory is under occupation for the first time since WWII
  • Either a victim of disinformation or a victim of disinformation who gets some sort of material benefit for spewing more propaganda and dogma. Either way, they should be reported for their own good and that of everyone else using the platform. We need to safeguard information integrity and prevent the victims from instigating a global conflict, potentially a nuclear one. Because that is what it ultimately comes down to. Ironically, this also means saving many russians from their regime and themselves.

  • 'Embarrassing for Putin': Russian territory is under occupation for the first time since WWII
  • The fact that people like you can rationalize the Kremlin's far-right, proto-fascist ideology as some sort of anti-Nazi movement is just more proof that the biggest threat to humanity is ingorance combined with a near-infinite potential for self-serving delusions. We desperately need to reform our formal education systems and limit the impact of authoritarian propaganda as much as possible, and from there the number of victims, like Dragon.
