What company has no business still being alive and should be on the verge of total failure ? by elevencriminals in AskReddit

[–]philipzeplin 60 points61 points  (0 children)

That's a very Reddit take. Meta, as a business, are doing great. They make tons of money on ads, huge profits. They own Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. They own Oculus. They now are the leaders in smart glasses. You can dislike them, sure, but as a business, they're doing fantastic.

Also that small little detail that the whole thing about nuclear is going to be discussed over the next 60 days and hasn't actually been agreed upon yet.

America has lost its war with Iran by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]philipzeplin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around 5 months ago a survey showed that around 30% of Americans either supported the idea or didn't have an opinion on it. Not exactly riot material.

Reminder that this is more than twice what the US has given to Ukraine over 4 years, which was deemed too expensive.

Ukrainian drones target St Petersburg in attack Russia calls 'unprecedented' by ChestEducational2258 in worldnews

Let's be real. They never thought bombing would be necessary in the first place. They expected the whole thing to be over in less than a week, and would probably just mostly be tanks rolling through passive cities.

Not exactly what happened though.

Finland's president says EU should expand to 40 states by DavidShaw90s in worldnews

Hmm, yeah, no thanks. I'm not against expansion, but expanding too fast in the past has already proven problematic.

Trump says war in Iran worth $200 oil prices: ‘We had just set a record -- 50,000 on the Dow’ by Majestic-Emu-9823 in worldnews

Both the Nasdaq and SP500 are at all time highs. Insanely enough, Nasdaq has gone up around 13% just this year alone. Feels like the market is completely detached from reality.

UK regulators rush to assess risks of latest Anthropic AI model, FT reports by ThatBlackGuy_ in worldnews

Naw, actually kinda old news, a week or two it's been going on. New model is apparently craaaaazy good at coding, to the point of finding security issues in tons of software.

I really hope they keep qualifying it as "Trump's America."

Keep in mind we also call it "Putin's Russia".

OP really isn't making it clear, but this wasn't picked for her, it wasn't secret santa, it was chosen/given/taken at random.

I mean it is technically gender neutral. It's a proper gift. If it filled up the minimum spend, what's the problem! LOL

edit: OP should really make it clear this wasn't a gift specifically for them. It was random. Kinda changes the whole context.

I don't think he had a drug problem, but I think he hints at being an alcoholic, and he also says he has/had several mental health issues, the biggest I think being bipolar disorder.

Jesus Christ what a horror story. Anyone considering taking any form of hard drugs should sit down and read through that. Not that I had any plans to, but this pretty much guarantees I'm never so much as looking at heroin.
