  1. Not loving what I'm reading about trump capitulating to putin https://www.newsweek.com/russia-us-peace-deal-ukraine-vladimir-putin-trump-2110865
  2. no idea why service members might feel it's appropriate behavior
  3. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fort-stewart-shooting-suspect-was-hard-worker-bullied-stutter-army-sol-rcna223667 Interesting new reporting on the incident
  4. Him and Noem and Huckabee all are peas in a pod
  5. That looks like a completely serious chart that would get posted on the business board
  6. 'member when the president shouldn't be telling companies how do run themselves and what to say? Something about a free market?
  7. Green Dildo Coin, a svelte financial investment for anyone who doesn't care! Anyone getting a piece of the action?? https://www.reuters.com/sports/wnba-sex-toy-incidents-linked-cryptocurrency-group-2025-08-07/ A spokesman for the group behind Green Dildo Coin took credit for the trend in an interview with USA Today, while The Athletic reviewed a livestream of cryptocurrency enthusiasts in which speakers celebrated a sex toy being thrown onto the Los Angeles Sparks' court Tuesday. The group has claimed that their memecoin's goal was to combat a "toxic" environment in the cryptocurrency world and insisted that its members did not "dislike women's sports," though it's unclear why Green Dildo Coin advocates have fixated on the WNBA. Regardless, WNBA players and coaches have widely criticized the trend, citing safety concerns alongside the unneeded ridicule it's brought to the league. There have been six known incidents of neon green sex toys being thrown at WNBA games since July 29, per USA Today.
  8. I think it's probably more the 70+ hour work weeks and rancid professional culture in Japan keeping people away from their families and without free time to nurture a family
  9. Jesus Christ it's like pronghorn never left us
  10. Yeah well, when's the last time appeasing a fascist blew up in everyone's face???
  11. he literally thinks windmills cause cancer
  12. it's literally just doing an Enron to Texas
  13. God I love picking winners and losers. Fact is, most chips aren't made in the US. Most of the silicon in my PC except the 5070ti was diffused in Malaysia or Korea or China and then assembled in another country and then landed in the US. The new unilateral tax from the emperor means COGS skyrocketing across the supply chain.
  14. 100% tariff on imported chips - which is to say literally every cutting edge process semiconductor https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-says-us-will-levy-100-tariff-some-chip-imports-2025-08-06/ That's gonna leave a mark considering NVDA alone makes up almost 10% of the entire stock market value, and every AI darling is about to see their COGS go up significantly. There are some foundries on US soil to partially mitigate the tariff tax but they aren't producing the quantity or quality of the TSMC native foundries
  15. lmao one of the first replies "none of these women like themselves, which is totally understandable as i don’t like any of them either"
  16. that's totally not gonna wreck havok with our ATC systems or anything. It'll all work just fine until there's a stress on the scheduling for flight plans, and then it'll all go to hell. It's such an old and brittle system that has had ZERO downpayments made against their tech debt
  17. god what I'd give to see someone slap a padlock on that rolling door and run off
  18. Impressive how the local fascists derailed this thread into an immigration discussion instead of focusing on how they're taking active measures to more effectively control mass messaging by removing competing sources of factual information.
  19. No, the authorities have moved on to more pressing matters of state. Like changing electoral maps mid-cycle. The cleanup is all done and no more disaster relief is needed, right?
  20. https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20250601021212/20250806023110/https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ Kind of crazy, the constitution on congress.gov is now missing sections. Sections 9 and 10, and portions around the Writ of Habeus Corpus.
  21. That last bit? Yeah we don't believe in measurements or empirical science anymore. It's all whatever people believe, because facts are just so partisan these days
  22. Update: NASA is being ordered to DESTROY two perfectly functional weather satellites https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/white-house-orders-nasa-deliberately-35680658 We will simply ignore the dangerous weather. When's the last time a bunch of kids died in a preventable tragedy but for a few minutes of warning, anyways??
  23. Lordy. Matt and Trey are really gonna be teeing off
  24. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/us/jeffrey-epstein-mansion-photos.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/05/jeffrey-epstein-letters-photos Everyone from Pope John Paul II, Mick Jagger, Elon Musk, Donald and Melania Trump, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Steve Bannon; right down to a signed $1 bill by Bill Gates that says "I was wrong!"
  25. More sly pricing games to drastically increase prices without sticker shocking, like keeping the price the same but making it be per unit instead of per lb. Happy to hear from Chickensandwich why it's actually a good thing though
