Do you like all the trek? I thought Lower Decks and Discovery both started great but kind of fell off. I heard Picard was good.

This meme gets funnier and funnier every time I read it!

Crypto enthusiasts don't really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately "got it" and began to get excited about crypto.

For better or worse it is unrealistic to expect business to just eat rising costs just because they got into business before the costs were so high. That would be nice but it's just not how the world works. If that were true then entire economies would collapse every time there was an economic shock.

Get out of here with your reasoning. It's more fun to feign outrage because it gives me an opportunity to feel smart. If you start to invalidate my superiority by pointing out how arbitrary and dramatic my response is then I'm going to downvote you.

Yeah I would love to see them do it. I mean hopefully it works and we can use it as a reference. If it fails, well that's their program.

Unfortunately they will bungle this shit the same way the fucked up their healthcare and it will just be a disaster.

This whole thing about who colonized who is silly.

This should be whom. Better luck next time!

Alabamans want their society to be this fucked up. I'm happy they are allowed to do this to themselves. "never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake" and what not.

I've said it before and I will say it again. This is democracy in action. Her community and loved ones want their society to be that way. If that's what they want, well, it sure doesn't affect me.

Or the region could destabilize and the US has diplomatic cover to limit their hypothetical response to a more defensive set of operations.

But we live today, not 70 years ago.

This doesn't actually answer the question.

They are both filled with very ill informed people. I guess that's all of the Internet though. People who have no clue are the first to give their opinions. The topics that are started by "low information voters" are often most popular with other low information voters.

Well, if your argument is: "any company that becomes a monopoly will abuse monopoly power", then sure I agree with you. You got me there!

My argument is: "given a reliable financial alternative to advertising, a company will be able to resist enshitification for a long time, as long as there is no absolute tyrannical monopoly."

I assumed the last part was implied and I'm sorry for the confusion!

You have to pay for kagi so they are not incentivized to serve ads. They are incentivized to give you a good set of search results so you keep paying.

Agreed 💯. This is democracy in action. In a way, I'm happy that Alabama is listening to the desires of its citizens. If they don't want maternity wards then that's fine with me.

On top of that, Egyptian military intelligence warned Mossad about an imminent invasion and Mossad ignored them. The Israelis are going to be asking their government a lot of very hard questions over the best decade.

Just to make sure I understand your argument, you think Israel is going to nuke Gaza? In that case, I have a very lucrative bridge to sell you.
