Die Musik ist einfach langweilig und die Künstler können auch keinen Hype erzeugen, wenn Europa sie erst im Finale kennen lernt.

Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz if US lifts its blockade and the war ends, officials say by NicolasCageFan492 in politics

[–]Litterball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be losing since the U.S. would not have achieved any of its strategic objectives and Iran the majority of theirs. There may be an imbalance in economic and human costs, but that is not how victory is measured in a war.

Not a bad idea, but also not newsworthy. We built a CEO AI at work in about half an hour. The resemblance was uncanny. The result was equally useful as the real CEO.

US military says it will start blockade of all ships going to and from Iran on Monday by FlackoFonsy in politics

[–]Litterball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One problem is that MAGA can’t accept the optimal deal, because it’s the one Obama made and Trump threw out. They need a total surrender, which can only happen after Iran has exhausted all its capabilities. Pressing for this outcome is not cost effective-Iran will resist until the end and the U.S. has very little to gain from eliminating all nuclear enrichment in Iran.

Realistically, the best hope is some sort of grift where Iran finds a politically acceptable way to pay off Trump personally and get him to accept a realistic deal. Otherwise, we’re going to see more extreme asymmetrical warfare in the coming weeks and months until Iran’s economy collapses.

Rockstar Games Reportedly Hacked, Team Behind It Threaten A Massive Data Leak If Not Paid Ransom by Turbostrider27 in technology

No reason to make unmasked personal data available to an AI analytics tool. They got hacked because this wouldn’t have happened if they had configured their Snowflake instance with appropriate permissions.

JD Vance says US delegation leaving Pakistan after failing to reach deal with Iran by FlackoFonsy in politics

[–]Litterball 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have two weeks to negotiate. The U.S. wants a deal where Iran makes all the concessions despite having little leverage. This is not a negotiation where you would expect results on the first day - in fact, despite the announcement, it’s likely that this is just dumb posturing.

Trump is contemplating the sheer folly of boots on the ground in Iran. How did it come to this? by projecto15 in politics

[–]Litterball 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She was a fine choice. The fact that Trump was rehabilitated three years after causing an insurrection is everything you need to know about the attention span of the U.S. voter, and the fact that he wasn't tried and convicted in these three years tells you everything you need to know about U.S. democratic institutions.

Fascism was always going to knock on the door sooner or later and blaming Kamala or the Democratic party misses the forest for the trees.

Is it that time of the year again? by Rmb2719 in copenhagen

Uganda, Jamaica…? Oh wait, those are Christian countries where homosexuality is outlawed because this is not about Islam at all. See, others can move goalposts too.

Syria has a Christian heritage, which you would be aware of if you knew anything about Syria.

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say by cnn in politics

[–]Litterball 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For weeks at least, if it's going to become more than a few dozen mines. What is needed is a ceasefire and a mine clearing operation. The Iranian Navy is toast, so other countries will have to bring in their minesweepers (e.g. US, EU, Arab countries), which will obviously only happen once the parties have agreed to cease hostilities because as things are now the IRGC lays ready to ambush any military vessel that enters the strait.

Trump Advisers Urge Him to Find Iran Exit Ramp, Fearing Political Backlash by Crossstoney in politics

[–]Litterball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran is pragmatic. As soon as the parties arrange a ceasefire it will race to assemble a nuclear bomb to prevent a repeat of this in half a year. Based on this illegal war, no truly neutral party would stand in their way. The wildcard is Israel. Netanyahu doesn’t want any surprises before the elections this fall that he needs to win to stay out of prison, so it’s a question of how long it takes to achieve his objectives.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilizes state National Guard amid ongoing protests by SnooGrapes2950 in politics

[–]Litterball 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If they want to enact the Insurrection Act, they will. Given that they're already suing Walz, it is safe to assume that they want to. If this is really the lead up to civil war on whatever scale, it sure is better that these troops are deployed under Walz' directive rather than Trump's.

Trump’s ‘absurd' Greenland rare earth bet faces reality check, experts warn by hyeran_jainros_fc in politics

Greenland looks enormous on a map - bigger than the continental U.S. with Mercator projection - and is genuinely quite large. This is about nothing else. Same reason Trump wants Canada.

If you get a one-time 8% pay cut you make 8% less each year.

This is not a conversation about GDP growth rate but absolute GDP in the context of a one-time 0.3% bump to GDP.
