Countless resolutions in the UN show that it’s not an accepted international norm or policy, but unfortunately nothing can actually be done while the behemoth US exercises its power.

Now imagine if they had to pay for the content they’re training the models off of.
Grocery prices is actually a great example of official inflation numbers being underestimated. My grocery bill has increased by a minimum of 50% (and more like 100%) since the pandemic, but official numbers put it at about 25%. They have a basket of goods that they base their numbers off of, but that basket changes and my suspicion is that they change it in a way to make the numbers look better than they really are. In my case, I’ve been buying the same stuff all along (i.e. mainly simple non-processed ingredients) with modifications only to try to reduce my bill (e.g. I haven’t bought any eggs over $2 a dozen, which means I haven’t bought eggs in a long time).
I sarcastically pointed out “at least TVs are cheaper” because yes, there are categories where some things are cheaper, but the far more important categories of housing, education, food, and health care have experienced ridiculous amounts of inflation.
Exciting to see all sorts of batteries for different applications. Is lithium-ion still standard for home power backup? I’ve heard characteristics of the new sodium-ion batteries being ideal for that use case.
That netanyahu pile of shit is going to stink up the air when he’s roasting in hell.
This makes me think the cereal used to have asbestos and is now asbestos-free. Either way I’m concerned about that cereal.
Inflation adjusted looking pretty flat and that’s if you trust their optimistic inflation calculations that likely underestimate it. Housing, education, and health care greatly outpace inflation btw, but hey, at least TVs are cheaper.
The only purpose in normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is to continue the divide and conquer strategy while destroying each country that opposes Israel. It’s the same reason why the US showers Egypt with money, to keep it docile. As each potential enemy of Israel falls, they focus their attention on the next target. Saudi Arabia will have its turn later and when it does, the US will bring out things like involvement in 9/11 from its back pocket to justify crippling sanctions and either regime change or potentially direct military action.
Countries useful to the US get carrots until they’ve outlived their usefulness, then they get impaled on the stick. Just ask Saddam after the US used him to carry out the Iran-Iraq war. Israel supported Iran in that war, by the way, because playing your enemies against each other is part of the divide and conquer strategy.
and you cannot use social media if they deem your chest too flat.
They’re not going along with it, they’ve been pushing for the opposition since before the election.
Calm down.
“The Biden-Harris administration focused on replacing them with clean energy.”
Did they though? I don’t know how record fracking approvals and 100% tariffs on EVs help with that.

Israel was created by the British who made a deal with zionists without including any input from the Palestinians already living there. The British divided up the land, but that wasn’t enough for the zionists who carried out terrorist attacks to drive out the people already living there. When Israel was established, the nearby countries responded appropriately to a tool of western imperialism being propped up right in their general region. We’ve all seen how Israel has poisoned the land both figuratively and literally, so those countries were right to respond the way they did.
The US being built on stolen land isn’t right either and we should take stronger steps towards reparations. That doesn’t excuse the genocide that Israel is carrying out right now. It’s better to stop it earlier than later. Israel is hoping to destroy Palestine and pretend like nothing could have been done while they were doing it, then after it’s done they’ll shrug their shoulders and say it’s all in the past. Do not give them excuses.
Israel was founded by terrorists and is the biggest terrorist state in the region. They name streets and other infrastructure in honor of their celebrated terrorists. Palestinians aren’t just getting the short end of the stick by being caught in-between others, they’re the direct target of Israel’s program of lebensraum.
Says the one with the profile that says “Swiss Pan-European Nationalist”. By the way, whataboutism is when you bring up an unrelated topic to distract from the current topic. It’s not whataboutism to point out the accusing side doing the exact same thing, that is simply called pointing out hypocrisy.
The tech-savvy reputation comes from the “digital native” narrative i.e. because they grew up with computers they must know computers, which is a silly fallacy because how one interacts with technology makes all the difference. It’s the same reason why everyone who grew up with electricity isn’t necessarily an electrician.
The system being set up where the only way prices broadly go down is if the economy is bad has always bothered me.
