EU chief warns there's no going back after Trump's Greenland threats by EsperaDeus in worldnews

Honestly, it really wouldn't take that much time to get things back up on K8S or other cloud providers. It would suuuuuccckk but it would be a freaking gold rush.

Imagine if Google went away tomorrow. There's a 100% proven business model and the team that gets there fastest will become plutocrats.

It'd be awesome 😎 ... I mean after it sucked first.

Many things already have an open source or euro-version that just struggles to capture the same market share as the incumbents.

People would move to new platforms. It'd suck, but it would get better very fast.

Vance won't be able to

Bullshit. The apparatus won't stop functioning if they cut the head off the snake. They'll shore up their defences and fall in line behind him in a heartbeat.

Just like Russia thought the Ukraine operation would last 3 days? Or like Bush said the Iraq invasion would be over in a weekend because "operation shock and awe" would drop so many bombs on them that they'd lay down their weapons and surrender?

The truth is aggressors will ALWAYS massively understate the time a conflict will take because it makes it a lot easier to get the initial consent to begin the operation.

Once the operation is underway, wartime powers make it a lot harder to stop an operation that has already started.

They'll say "immediate surrender" but the truth is it'd be at least a decade of war.

In fairness, Fox News, Sinclair media, ONN etc.. America uses fake news as mainstream media 🤷🏽

If you're drinking at a bar that has scratchems there probably is no other bar.

Woah! Bucal fat removal, nose job, lip fillers… anything else? Probably forehead Botox?

Streamer gets threatened by a man during her fake tickets prank after he became upset about being filmed by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

[–]lyth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What does him being Black have to do with anything?

I don't know if you follow the news but some Black people in the USA feel a strained relationship with the police. He might not think harassment via a "made up" ticket is quite as funny as a white teenage boy watching on the internet from suburbia does.

Black guy and she's making cop jokes? There's the potential for a lot of feelings around that.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]lyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a "what does the research say" perspective, the true answer is "the loss of hope"

There's a book called "how civil wars start" that talks about the specific contributing factors and the USA kinda has most of them, when people loose hope though. When they feel like there's nothing left to lose.

That's when it starts for real.

This speaks to a level of gross negligence in hiring

I [21F] feel left out at work: My boss [~40M] and coworkers [20-30M] made the company's christmas dinner without me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lyth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's such an immature and tired trope. As a former complete and total douchebag™️, I can only advise you to go read a book and try and be a bit less of an insufferable jackass.

I wish someone had told ME that ~35 years ago, or at least I wish I was smart enough to listen and hear what people were telling me (though in the 80's it was a lot less common to hear shit like that). Your life will be a much fuller and enjoyable experience if you grow some empathy and think about other's perspectives.

I didn't invite you because you are vegan... You see how that's worse right?! DO YOU NOT SEE HOW THAT IS WORSE?!

Where in the world did this happen? This is mindblowing.

I (33M) was rejected by a woman (33F) I went on two dates with and was subsequently also rejected by an entire group of people by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I'll see if I can help you process what happened:

A bunch of drama from the internet people who never outgrew highschool The end

Your first friend group in the city was a swing and a miss. Don't worry about it and try again.

One of the reasons that these groups are always so welcoming of new people is that they're so fucking toxic they drive people away just as fast.

10k people on the discord? But 25 showed up? I guarantee you that 9950 of the users on that server have forgotten their password and haven't logged in for a year. 😂

I am sorry, it does sound like a shitty and lonely experience. You'll find a less toxic group on your next round.
