That $20 billion could have funded a new high-speed rail line up the east coast. Or 1000 new schools.

But no, we can't give that money to Americans. We have to give it to Trump's friends.

I don't see anything in your response that refutes that. Sounds like you have no argument.

You know that there are studies addressing this, right? I didn't just make it up.

Here's an overview study that reviewed other studies: https://jphe.amegroups.org/article/view/9493/html

"Pre-COVID-19 interviews with a high-income vaccine hesitant sample in Perth, Australia found that vaccine hesitancy was based on an inflated sense of agency in making medical decisions without doctors or public health officials, and a preference for “natural” methods of healthcare (30)."

"A similar study in the United States reported on interviews from 25 White mothers in a wealthy community who refused vaccination for their children (31). These participants reported high levels of perceived personal efficacy in making health decisions for their children and higher confidence in preventing illness through individual “natural” measures such as eating organic food and exercising. Additionally, these participants report lower perceived risk of infection or disease, which is contrasted with their high perceived risk of vaccination."

"Vaccine hesitancy among those with privilege may be more than just a product of resource access. There is evidence that individuals with high socioeconomic status perceive themselves to be more capable, hardworking, important, and deserving of resources and privileges than others (32,33)"

It's less about censorship and more about more people becoming middle-class and therefore thinking they're smarter than researchers.

There is nobody more confident in themselves than the middle-class.

It doesn't reduce financial capacity for war. It moves the war dollars to different countries.

This is the part where the US officially turns itself into a third-world banana republic, by actually aligning their currency to those failed states.

The US dollar has already dropped by 10% since this new administration took power, so why not completely tank it?

Maybe if the GEOS-powered C128 also had a 65c816 CPU, a vastly more powerful CPU than the 8502 without being as expensive as the 68000 was at the time. The C128 needed more memory.

Commodore needed more memory. We already had megabyte machines in the late 80's.

I accept your surrender.

Your support for the continued existence of the state of Israel is plenty cause to sue. You really should be careful as you now have even larger legal exposure given the UN has concluded Israel is committing genocide.

Bad things happen to people that continue to support genocidal regimes, legally speaking.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything. I could sue you for Islamophobia, because you agreed with the existence of the state of Israel.

Now what?

They also use RISC-V cores throughout their products

Because it would be in the Hamas-massacre.net site if it was real. That's an IDF run site. They can't even confirm any rape victims on that site. They only have non-confirmed allegations on that site.

And, no, they didn't get permission from any of the other victims families to publish on that site.

So, the IDF literally has no direct confirmation of rape.

This just means Israel is an ultra-violent society.

So really the only hope for peace is the elimination of the state of Israel and to return the land to Muslims.

Why would Dems want Zionists to win?

OK but that's just name-calling, instead of an argument. An argument is that Hamas has a right to kill their foreign invaders, including the enemy combatants who happen to be dancing at a music festival, for example.

And you're name-calling because you're trying to normalize the existence of an occupation force in foreign lands.

Not everyone agrees that Israel has a right to exist. If you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land to establish their mediterranean resort home they call Israel, then you need to explain that, instead of just name-calling.

Tell us WHY you believe European Jews have a right to kill Palestinian children to steal their land in order to establish the state of Israel.

At this point you might as well assume everyone is antisemitic, but its still your job to get them on your side.

It's right there in what you wrote. It's why you got downvoted.

What's the end game of these right-wing legacy media? The median age of TV viewers is like 65. How do they expect to maintain any viewership once all the elderly people die off? The only thing people watch anymore are live sports and local news, and even those are showing signs of declining.

The best part is the anti-Hamas crowd will always claim Hamas raped women on October 7, but will conveniently leave out basic details, like the names of any alleged rape victims that were confirmed to have been raped.

They read these threads just fine. I don't recommend emailing since that loses context. Additionally, it makes other people aware of the problem.

Please tell your commanders at the IDF that under no definition of genocide is "number of deaths" a consideration.

Genocide is defined by intent, and the European Jews have intended to remove or kill all Palestinians since they began the Zionist project last century, culminating in their decision to start a war by attacking and invading Palestine in 1947/1948, with Palestine being occupied by a foreign invasion force ever since.

Israelis are guilty of genocide.

Why don't the hostages give back the land they stole from the Palestinians? Did they try doing that?

LLMs can do the audits now.

I'm using LLMs to write stuff that would normally be in dependencies, mostly because I don't want to learn how to use the dependency, and writing a new one from scratch is really easy with LLMs.

Indeed. My gift to Democrats that continue to support Israel is to make sure Republicans win and destroy the country.

Genocide is cause for war and destruction of countries. And fortunately, Republicans made it convenient to destroy American society.

You see children being burnt alive by racist zealots with your tax dollars, and you CONTINUE to fund it? Yah that's a good way to end your society. The USA is no exception.

I don't understand this complaint. Are you the editor of this site?

WebGPU now officially supported.

From the post, if AI was supposed to make everyone 25% more productive, then a 4 month project becomes a 3 month project. It doesn't become a 1 day project.

Was the author making games and other apps in 30 hours? Because that seems like a 4 month project?

Yep. Same for about 20+ years. IndiePop generally my station while programming.

US would absolutely get wrecked against any war against China. Just the sheer industrial capacity of China would give them any victory, and now they're about 10 years away from complete technological dominance as well.

NSA isn't allowed to spy on US citizens. NSA is a US military organization under Department of Defense, and Posse Comitatus act makes it unlawful for the US military to act as a police force in the US.

One of the few good things revealed by Edward Snowdens leaks was the fact that the NSA has filters for intercepted communications to filter out comms from US citizens. This was in top-secret programs that had no reason to be publicly known, and yet the NSA still had these filters installed anyways, because everyone in the NSA understands that they're not a law-enforcement agency, because of Posse Comitatus.
