    Is he praising Russia though? Seems like he’s praising trump for arranging the negotiations.

    There’s so much real shit to talk about I don’t understand the obsession with deliberately misinterpreting stuff to make up fake things to get mad at.

    The subtext is he’s calling Biden incompetent by praising trump’s competence. As compared to what, implying trump is incompetent in comparison to Russia? Why would he do that?

    Odd take because plenty of communities have lower populations and still have restaurants of their cuisine. But also because there are a bunch of native cuisine restaurants.

    It doesn’t help that a relatively equal society without extreme division of labor is probably not producing cuisine on the same level as cultures with extreme inequality. A class of jealous and idle nobles with personal chefs trying to outdo each other does a lot to push culinary experimentation.





  • Eat a bagel or something jesus christ. Nobody is forcing you to buy eggs.

    Boohoo the omnis have to consider switching to a different breakfast for a few months, this is just like mass starvation. They don’t sell 5000 other things at the grocery store, eggs are the only staple food and now we have to spend 90% of our daily income on them.

    Your preferred breakfast being a bit more expensive while other things that were already cheaper are still cheaper is not comparable to a french peasant being unable to pay for their only staple food. Get a grip.






  • Did you never hear about falcon 9 or something? SpaceX’s design process is tried and true. They used it to design the most successful rocket platform ever made. Not only is first stage reuse a massive breakthrough in it’s own right but they pulled it off with arguably the most reliable rocket in history,


  • I forget where I heard this take but it was describing trump’s first election. The broader electorate knew it would be chaotic, that was almost the point. Everyone can tell that the status quo is bad, that things are getting worse for most people. When the options are ‘more of the same that isn’t working’ and ‘throw a grenade at it and see what happens’ people chose the grenade. Low information voters don’t care about Gaza, millions of voters couldn’t even tell you what region it’s in.

    All they knew is that inflation was making everything unaffordable and their pay certainly didn’t keep up. Did they correctly assign blame for the economic conditions? Of course not. But when your main basis for voting is just the general vibe and the vibe is bad then you either vote for the other guy or stay home. So yes, people do prefer crisis to stability when stability just means things continue to get worse at a steady pace.

    I’m fascinated by this apparently critical sliver of venn diagram between “I value audio latency/marginal improvement in quality highly enough to be inconvenienced by messing with a headphone cable while on the go” vs “a dongle is too inconvenient”.

    *Apparently this is a really hot take. My point being the convenience gap between cable vs no cable is so much larger than the gap between dongle vs no dongle that I don’t understand how it’s a dealbreaker.

    I’m getting so tired of liberals who spend all their time complaining about people not supporting their preferred genocidaire instead of demanding candidates that aren’t aspiring genocidaires.

    It is the candidate’s job to win the election, not the electorate’s. If the anti-genocide voting bloc was enough to swing the election (it wasn’t) then maybe your candidate shouldn’t have supported a fucking genocide in spite of that.
