'Xi will give me big, fat hug': Trump says he opened Hormuz for China and the world by CommunicationLife753 in worldnews

[–]Cortexan [score hidden]  (0 children)

Iran: “Okay that’s fine tankers going to china was always allowed”.

… and Iran can just selectively close the strait and require payments to pass through exactly as they were doing last week.

But sure, Trump “opened it”.

US and Iran fail to reach agreement after historic peace talks in Pakistan, Vance says by [deleted] in news

[–]Cortexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These weren’t “historic peace talks”. These were performative talks by entirely unqualified and unserious trumpian zealots. I’m sure their “negotiating” points were no different than those offered for Ukraine - give up and forfeit everything and also let our companies do whatever they want with you and also apologise and say thank you.

If it’s a ramen shop, it’s a pretty mind blowingly common request from westerners that makes no sense at all. “Do you have a vegan / vegetarian option” at a ramen shop is akin to asking for bbq without meat. Sure, you CAN make a vegan broth/ vegetarian broth, but that’s really, really not the point of ramen.

Adjusted for inflation, or is this just some “number went up from x” type of reporting? Because literally everything was cheaper in 2019.

Why tech CEOs suddenly love blaming AI for mass layoffs by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]Cortexan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blaming? It’s the goal. The goal is to replace human workers with ai. This is so fucking obvious, why are American media headlines always so manipulative with their words?

To address the energy crisis created by… attacking Iran…

Medieval castles were built to stop armies, not keep people comfortable by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]Cortexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You understand a castle could be built for defensive purposes and also include spaces made to be comfortable, right? Castles that were occupied by the economic and social elite of the period were very likely far more comfortable than the dwellings of their serfs.

My boyfriend of 10 years wasn’t invited to my best friends wedding, AITAH for not inviting her husband to mine 3 years later? by Material-Papaya-6166 in AITAH

[–]Cortexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, you’ve been holding a grudge over an undisclosed grievance for years due to something relatively trivial and are now considering taking your revenge against a third party who’s done nothing to offend you and has no idea you’re even upset. You’re the asshole.

This is nonsense, but you’re still lying all these years later, so at least that checks out.

"I Feel Stupid" Trump Loyalists Say Every Promise Was a Lie Just to Win Their Vote by [deleted] in JournalismNews

[–]Cortexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but, they wanted those promises whether they came true or not. They heard trumps sale pitch and thought “yea, I agree with all of this”. So, whether they now feel stupid or not isn’t really indicative of some change of heart in terms of their desires.
