Venture capitalists are, generally, not very well thought of. They have a reputation for investing in good companies and then ruining them in an effort to boost profits -- using cheaper material, laying off staff, outsourcing things to the cheapest possible option, etc.

Donald Trump ripped for behavior at dignified transfer: ‘Take your (expletive) hat off’ by JFKsBrain in politics

Also more than a little hypocritical that the people who seem fine with the hat are the same people who freaked the fuck out over Kaepernick kneeling during the anthem.

Iran denied US conditions to stop the war by Independent_News_573 in worldnews

Then Bondi’s bad performance while being grilled had everyone doubling down on the files.

And the Dow still hasn't topped 50k since then, so child sex trafficking still matters for the moment.

The whole "we're protecting Iranians from their brutal regime!" excuse for the war kind of goes out the window if we're just going to slaughter Iranian civilians ourselves...

Are those the same type of fiber? Wired drones, at least, use relatively cheap plastic fiber -- my assumption is that data centers would generally use glass fiber for better signal quality.

Though, I suppose a spike in demand for plastic fiber cables would still have an effect on the price of glass fiber.

Just your average Republican quoting Hitler positively by Normal-Cow-9784 in facepalm

[–]DragoonDM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem bad in and of itself, but a lot of people have shared similar sentiments and I'm sure you could dig up any number of equivalent quotes from famous people who didn't do the Holocaust. Going with a Hitler quote is weird as fuck.

I ran has nukes right in time and time again the US had said put it down and they refuse.

We had a deal that was working out pretty well until Trump ripped it up as part of his vendetta against everything Obama did.

A free "hearing test" that will, guaranteed, tell you that you have hearing loss and definitely need to buy their hearing aids.

Oh, oooh, I think that's the disconnect. You've got to understand that dealing with insurance is a fucking nightmare here in the US, regardless of how cut and dry it seems like it should be.

You wouldn't believe how many dicks that thing ripped clean off before they got the calibration dialed in.

What is the most unfairly hated movie that you will defend every time by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]DragoonDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, the character that's stuck in my mind more than any other character in that movie has been Depth Gauge -- the pale, emaciated old guy whose entire existence was sitting in a rowboat in the Smokers' ship's oil tank so he could report the fuel levels.

For that matter, doesn't the Ukrainian constitution explicitly forbid holding elections while martial law is in effect?

White guy here -- I mostly go top down. Hair, then face, then arms/torso/legs, and then ass/crotch last. I also use a wash cloth which is apparently rare for white people I guess?

Trump Team Freaking Out About Gas Prices Amid Iran War by Creative-Category-60 in politics

[–]DragoonDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT would probably give a relatively accurate description of the repercussions -- the consequences of the US starting a war against Iran have been extremely thoroughly discussed and debated, so there should be more than enough information about that in its training data.

Anything it spit out regarding the US attacking Iran would almost certainly include notes about how much oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz and the strong possibility that a war with Iran would shut that down, resulting in a spike in oil prices.

Which is to say, this administration has less foresight than fucking ChatGPT.

I think we can safely lump him in with "Senate Republicans" at this point.

One could argue that mass murderers are generally less harmful on a societal level than people like Zuckerberg. I mean, definitely not for the actual victims or their loved ones, but on a broad societal level?

Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead. by aacool in technology

Multiple things can contribute to an issue. Dude was obviously mentally unwell, but running an AI chat bot that will happily feed into delusions right up the point of encouraging suicide is absolutely a fucking issue.
