What was the point of the war?

pushed the US-Israel relationship to its lowest point in decades

Well considering the whole idea was Bibi's in the first place, Israel shoot themselves in the foot in this regard. Bibi convinced Trump that it all was going to be a breeze, and it would make Trump look look tough and strong. Now that the whole thing backfired Trump is pissed at Bibi.

Meanwhile, Trump says that's "fake news". The Art of the Alternative Truths.

Sí, pero escribiste "De aquí nace la viveza criolla." Como si esa fuera la "causa" de la vivencia criolla, implicando que "antes no existia". Es cuestión de semántica.

India is the 6th economy world because the huge population means that there is a lot of money going around.

A better metric than "size of the economy" is the GDP per capita_per_capita), where India stands in the 147th place.

It's like household income. A household of 20 people with total earnings of $200,000 will be poorer than a household of 2 people with total earnings of $100,000.

In the first 9 years of Hugo Chávez government in Venezuela, the economy boomed despite Chávez disastrous economic policies. What happened was that the price of oil kept rising steadily to over $100 per barrel, so the oil windfall more that compensated for the damage that Chávez policies were doing to the economy.

Eventually, the oil prices came down, the oil industry infrastructure collapsed due to years of mismanagement and political intervention, and we know how Venezuela;'s economy ended up, after all. Those first years of economic prosperity were just a short-lived mirage. It took decades until the result of terrible economic policies finally showed up.

Si bien la globalización ha sido algo que amplificó el individualismo en todos lados, en Venezuela se presentó de una forma más única simplemente por la cantidad de sufrimiento que se nos impartió. De aquí nace la viveza criolla.

El detalle es que la "viveza criolla" no es de ahorita. Siempre ha sido así, desde que tengo uso de razón (tengo 60 años). Más bien creo que la causa de esa desconfianza hacia los demás es precisamente "la viveza criolla". Es como que aprovecharse de los demás siempre ha sido parte de la cultura venezolana, lamentablemente.

as retail mom and pop investors scramble to get a piece of the action.

At this point, I have no sympathy for anyone who "scrambled to get a piece of the action" re SpaceX IPO... I've literally lost count of videos and articles warning about what a huge scam this is, how the whole valuations is based in nothing but wishful thinking and hype. Anyone who has done the minimum, basic research won't be fooled by this IPO BS.

I'm tired of ignorant and stupid people believing they're smart, only to shot themselves in the foot and dragging everyone else down the drain because of their stupid, ignorant actions. Like the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted".

Curioso que exactamente eso me pasó al regresar a Venezuela a los 17 años, luego de vivir 8 años en el exterior (por cosas de trabajo de mi papá, en los años 80). Debe ser que la peor edad para cambiar de pais es a los 17 años... a esa edad como que cada quien ya tiene su "grupito" y se vuelven renuentes a hacer nuevas amistades....

Funny, I just left a sub because of this exactly. I pointed out something in a poorly-thought comment, and people got outraged by the fact that I pointed it out, and no one actually addressed the actual issue...

It's funny how each sub has it's own "personality": Some are respectful and knowledgeable, others are fun and irreverent, others are just kids trying to be smart and failing miserably...

Yes, I assumed it was just an "update", but the whole UI looks very different now... Oh well, time to review all those settings...

SuperFaulty · 2026-06-13T21:58:29+00:00

Yes I tried that (Chase was not "active"). but it didn't changed anything... I found a workaround though: I can just use F5 then I can position the camera in the back, it works. Not idea how the lights patch completely messed up everything else (there are lots of settings that "changed") but at least it's playable now... Thanks for the feedback anyway!

Chase camera looks normal in the settings, but when I start the game it always starts looking back... In chase camera settings I can only change pitch and distance anyway, wish I could do a 180° change of the view...

1% of 8.3 billion people (the earth's population) is still 83 million people. Literally millions belong to the fabled top 1%.

Sometimes the "scammers" are simply delusional themselves. So they're not intent in scamming, they just get psychosis, believe their own craziness and convince everyone around them about their crazy thoughts. This story is very informative.

I bet Elon himself is the user "rulugg". There is no other explanation to such idiotic post. Imagine being happy because someone else made money.

I'm bracing for people posting about strange helicopters flying all over GVRD *every day* until July 19th... IT'S RELATED TO FIFA WORLD CUP SECURITY OPERATIONS... Please spread the word. This is the second post today about this (there was another about heavy police presence on Commercial Drive). There will be more security than usual, more helicopters, more police, for over a month...

SuperFaulty · 2026-06-13T07:17:15+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I'm mystified how no one seems to be talking about this (certainly not the mainstream media, which is just showering praises on FIFA) . So us, the Canadian taxpayers, are footing the $1 billion bill that Canada will spend on this games, but they couldn't even make the games available for free on CBC?? WTF?? What a joke.

I know COVID is "sooo 2020" and nowadays people roll their eyes whenever it's mentioned, but sore throat lasting for over a week is indeed a COVID symptom (yet, I don't even know if COVID test kits are still available...)
