Sure, it's not true, but the fact that I believed it could be true pretty much confirms that Elon is evil, does it not?

Finding food and housing is a source of stress for literally all life on earth. Only for a fortune few humans is it not a source of stress.

If the EU can force every person on earth to dismiss a cookie popup on every website they visit, surely they can pass some regulation to rein in the expansion of tipping. For example, just make it a requirement that the default tip is 0% in

This is going to expand tipping dramatically. I don't understand how you could have any optimism that tipping will go away after this is passed. Businesses are going to work hard to blur the line between a tip and a required payment so

That's not a tip, it's a bid. Expect a lot more businesses to start operating like this if no tax on tips goes into effect.

Restricting food to civilians has been a legitimate war tactic forever. It's called a siege. If this is unacceptable to Palestine, they need to return the Israeli hostages. Israel is under no obligation to provide aid to their opponent

This change neither increases nor decreases the size of the government, so it's unclear how you think "party of small government" is relevant here.

If the rich won't run away, then Spain and Brazil don't need global action. They could just jack up taxes on the rich in their own countries. And since you've now pinky sworn that the rich will stay and pay the extra taxes, i

It's a monstrous disincentive to increased productivity. If you're a smart, ambitious person who wants to work hard and advance your lot in life, are you really going to stay in Spain knowing that the government is going to take h

Your standard for dull is too high. Most of the world does not create anything. The mere fact that you're creating something, even if it is an amateurish model airplane, is already cooler than what most of the world does with their fre

What the governor of California believes does not matter when federal agents are being attacked. The President has a responsibility to protect his agents. If California is not doing that sufficiently, the President is more than justified in

Democrats, socialists, and communists, yes. It sure isn't Republicans rioting because their candidate is enacting one of the cornerstones of his platform.

If 500 people can't stop 10 from causing violence, then those 500 never believed in peace to begin with.

If local police are unable or unwilling to protect federal agents doing their jobs, bringing in the military is absolutely the right decision. These rioters used hammers to destroy concrete bollards, pelted federal agents with the fragments

How terrible. Identity groups should never be flattened. We must always remember that we're different from each other.

They are a foreign company. They have no due process rights. We could hit their data center with a cruise missile tomorrow and it would be perfectly legal.

That cat is out of the bag, don't you think? Even if the US passes a strict law protecting copyright owners from having their works used to train AI, China is not going to obey that law, so US companies will just fall behind.

Harvard is a systematically racist institution. They even went to the Supreme Court to fight for the right to discriminate against white and Asian students. Republicans and Trump-voting independents signed up for this. They want to see Harv

by HamsterDan 1y ago
There is a 99% chance of this getting overturned. Harvard will sue, lose in court, and then give DHS everything they want at which point they'll get their visas back. They just want to pretend to be the victim for a while so that their

You should have AI start writing your comments for you so at least then they'll make sense.

I guess you can applaud Trump for taking the high ground here, but what he should have done is fired NPR and PBS's leadership and replaced them with rightwing equivalents. Maybe then Democrats would finally understand why it's so

What's to stop any malicious actor from posting these same comments? The fact that Reddit allowed these comments to be posted is the real problem. Reddit deserves far more criticism than they're getting. They need to get control o

The author tried really hard to dance around the real problem here: California is apparently paying students to attend online community college. If attending these classes was even just free, this wouldn't be a problem. Giving out stud

Were you? The current administration is punishing students who directly voiced support for terrorism. That's not at all equivalent to punishing students for their parents' much less objectionable beliefs.

+1. I had to cut a lot of people out of my life after seeing the Democrats' response to October 7th. I cannot be friends with anybody who votes for candidates that support exterminating Jews.

Nothing about this question is genuine.

Great idea. And people who start fires while cooking should be given free private chefs too.

Do you really have to wonder? It's a huge win for the US. The comments would rightfully be calling it a huge win for the US.

Describing this as "stealing" is an enormous stretch. At worst, it's fraud, but I don't even believe that. Most people know the risks when they buy these coins. To them, it's a gamble the same as the as the lottery
