A lot of this is on paper. For example, if they’re calculating potential retirement age based on stock market returns then they may be in for a rude awakening if the longest bull run of all time (minus the covid disruption) ends. But what are the odds of that, right? Surely housing prices will also rise forever too.

Victors are often made based on their alliances.

Imaginary property has always been a tricky concept, but the law always ends up just protecting the large corporations at the expense of the people who actually create things. I assume the end result here will be large corporations getting royalties from AI model usage or measures put in place to prevent generating content infringing on their imaginary properties and everyone else can get fucked.

Perhaps she misunderstood the assignment as upping the ante on corruption.

The biggest threat to the world sure is pointing a lot of fingers.

While true, how many of those workplace incidents involved someone from the executive level?

The main reason why turkey supported HTS is this right here. Watch as the country continues getting broken into many pieces and eaten up by these vultures.

After all these years, the new hardware had better be far higher spec than just moderately so.

This is a Switch too.

What a coincidence that they did this immediately after the rebels took over. Almost as if they were working together.

What hostility?

JAQing off about a dictator

perpetual apologists for whatever fascists they can find to drool over

Yeah, what hostility? 🙄

Then you add in some dumb shit about being “man enough” without a shred of self-awareness. Are you trolling or are you genuinely like this? Note that PugJesus has yet to show where I was “just asking questions” ever, but don’t let that get in the way of your cheerleading for his baseless accusations.

Include 5G? So is it bluetooth or 5G or some unholy combination?

Took him 13 years to do it.

Truly the highest form of art.

Both Germany and Japan were defeated in a hot war, as opposed to a cold war, so your point about occupation is irrelevant in the case of Russia. Germany and Japan also received generous economic benefits, a far more relevant point that you ignored for whatever reason. Are you trying to argue that Russia was a genocidal warring regime right when the USSR collapsed? I guess we should just nuke them out of existence because you seem to think it’s in their genes or something.

I don’t know what you think that link is supposed to show, but you’d have to be on something powerful to think me saying democrats should try to stop the genocide instead of sending billions in support is somehow me “cheerleading atrocities”.

I still don’t know what I did to piss you off so much, but apparently you’re so angry that you’ve built a whole strawman of me and you’ve just been fighting with that strawman this entire time. Have fun with that, hope it helps you relieve stress.

You certainly have a wild imagination because if you’re referring to the time I think you are, the last time you brought “receipts” it was you linking to posts of mine not containing anything you claimed I wrote. I don’t know why you’re so angry at me, but perhaps you would be better able to read my posts and not hallucinate patterns if you weren’t in a blind rage.

It really is unfortunate because I appreciate the information you gave in your initial response, but the hostility was so off-putting.

Who else did I ask questions about?

I don’t know why you have to be so hostile over a genuine question.

Was this a thing when Saddam was still in charge?
