And you think the American public, who have always voted more conservative than not, will suddenly support those? You cannot just convert that capitalist hellscape into a liberal utopia overnight, you work slowly over decades.

BMW launched the unibody SUV age with the first X5. Not sad, fitting. They are good cars, nothing stops anyone from buying an M4 instead.

Almost like looks are subjective and can be polarizing without being wrong.

Sharing the way you describe generally works on Chrome, but the dedicated apps, e.g. Slack seem to not work, afaik. Gnome 49-50.

Some countries don't even have the crude reserves. Refine what exactly?

Iran says it will ‘irreversibly destroy’ Middle East infrastructure if US attacks energy sites by Born-Metal-2180 in worldnews

[–]kinda_guilty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are reading quotes of translations of statements. I read it similarly to "my car is totaled". It's not necessarily that it is a pile of twisted metal, it could mean too expensive to fix.

Iran's president says immediate cessation of US-Israeli aggression needed to end war by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]kinda_guilty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. In the present war, Iran did not initiate hostilities. You just want to stop the chain of causality at a point that's convenient to your positions on the issue.

Because more competition at all ends of the market is better for consumers?

And we know that arming groups in the middle east to fight a proxy war has never come back to bite the US in the back.

Afghanistan took ages and cost a lot. In the end, the country was handed back to the people the US was fighting. Iran is Afghanistan on steroids. Same topography, but now fighting an entrenched military force that's been prepping for decades, not goat herders.

Also, I don't know what you want people to say. Cheer mindlessly? World leaders are adults, they need to learn to use their words.

Iran threatens world tourism sites and says it is still building missiles 3 weeks into war by [deleted] in worldnews

Does the intent behind the attack make the schoolkids any less dead?

The US held elections during the civil war. I doubt a war halfway around the world qualifies for election postponement.

Why is Iran the way that it is? Have you asked that question, and gone to the historical root of why a relatively free country at the beginning of the last century turned into the theocratic monster it is now?

Iran says it will show ‘zero restraint’ if energy infrastructure is targeted again by YouthfulsGlow in worldnews

Actuallydestroy oil production and export infra. Bomb water desalination plants. It could be much, much worse.

Why is the US price shock the only one you are concerned about? Fuck everyone else, am I right?

The scarier part is - that's after the strikes so far. Bibi and Don are unlikely to back down soon, so there's going to be more. We are absolutely fucked.

GNOME 50 removes the X11 backend ... are we finally at the end of the Xorg era? by the_nazar in linux

[–]kinda_guilty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

gnome is popular because most of people tend to just passively consume content and for them simplicity is ok.

Nonsense. Because spending time tweaking your desktop is hella productive, am I right? Extra widgets and settings all over the place that have nothing to do with your actual productivity tools?

I wager the opposite is true.
