Yep.

Like I was saying, it’s not just trump is doing it, it’s that it’s one of the few things that doesn’t directly benefit him.

Either he got bribed to do it for Bibi, or Bibi just fucking elder abused him again and fucking lied and said Trump could be tried under the ICC.

Either way it’s extra fucked even for 2026.

So…

You think Israel (another country) is manipulating trump into this…

And that made you disagree with my point:

Other countries who are subject to it are trickig/bribing trump into this.

The US literally isn’t even subject to it…

Other countries who are subject to it are trickig/bribing trump into this.

JD is gonna merc him, blame Iran, and produce “instructions” that he claims are from trump telling everyone to love JD and vote for him without question.

Sovereign citizens.

But for passengers is the big overreach, and likely unconstitutional

He’s #1 target among his own voters too…

There’s a nonzero chance this is because the Iranian team talked shit they did better against Belgium…

Maybe because netflix cancels show a week after season 1 drops?

People got burnt too many times, best case scenario it’s a huge hit and in 3 years we get a 8 hour season 2.

Why would viewers get invested?

He starting to come up with a concept of a plan for failure…

It’s all gibberish too.

I had a coworker send me an AI email, it mentioned something the coworker should have seen and been able to figure it out. When I replied explaining what she should have done, she claimed to be ignorant of like half of what her email said and claimed there was no way for her to find the info she had already provided in her email.

She just flat out had no idea what she had emailed, hadn’t read my response either.

She just shoved it into her chatbot, and her chatbot forgot everything it had already said so it generated new claims.

It’s bad enough trying to explain things to idiots, now I have to explain to a shitty chatbot so it agrees with me cuz coworkers just trust AI. Especially since there’s a chance the person using the chatbot, keeps asking it till they get it to say what they want.

It’s just spinning wheels

As in, they don’t even understand that their content may end up someplace that isn’t Mastodon or that isn’t a Twitter clone.

Cool…

That’s what I said…

None of them ever understand that they’re spamming us, it needs fixed at a system level

but Iran doesn’t have the right to unilaterally impose a fee on an international straight in response.

That’s not what the Mou says…

And that’s pretty much the only reason Iran agreed to it.

Imagine if I walked up and kicked your dog off a bridge. Then said it’s fine because now you own the bridge. Then as soon as I turn around I say “that dumb fuck thinks he owns the bridge lol”.

Now switch dog for “supreme religious and political leader” and “kicked off a bridge” for “fucking killed”.

If they can’t do tolls, the war’s back on.

The agreement said Iran can control the routes, and after 60 days can charge tolls.

US, who agreed to the tolls, is now saying Iran can’t ever do tolls and can’t set the routes.

So Iran is insisting that the route part is followed, to avoid the precedent that the agreement on tolls can also just be tossed out.

If it was possible to have a route that was immune to the war, that’s what they would have fucking been doing this whole time.

Which should be obvious

Serrano did not void the midterm exam, but warned students that the final one, which counted for 50% of the final grade, would be held in-person. He also said that if the grade distribution was not similar to the midterm, only the final exam would be taken into account. The average score dropped to 48 out of 100. Of the 89 students who did the midterm exam, only 59 showed up for the final one. And of the 27 who did not show up, 22 had scored a perfect 100 in the midterm exam.

“The empirical evidence of fraud is overwhelming,” says the professor, who has decided to make changes for the coming academic year. First, the weekly exercises will not count towards the final grade, as these could be done with AI. Second, no more take-home exams, no matter how appropriate they would be.

Bruh…

Long before chatbots people were 100% cheating on “closed book, take him tests” there is no fucking way they weren’t.

If you had told a class 30 years ago the same thing, the same result would have happened.

Saying if you don’t match you only get the worse score, is going to discourage a shit ton of students.

The real problem is “closed book take home”. And professors expecting students to not open the book. It’s nothing about them, it’s the current culture. If you don’t cheat you can’t compete. Elite places like Ivy League schools will always be full of cheaters in this climate, because they’ll out compete people with ethics.

Pretty sure the author nailed it, but I hit a paywall before I could copy it.

Anyways:

The only plausible explanation is they licensed this feature, expected huge sales to cover the license, and now can’t.

I don’t think they have licensed it per use, it was likely a flat fee and now they’re desperate to recoup it. They can’t do it by sales, so it’s monthly fees.

It might not even be this directly, but some other license and this is just where they can squeeze consumers. They might have even just picked what gets used the most

Yeah, and surely Jeff Bezos won’t change anything about that…

I heard 2028 he’s releasing “slate bottles” so they can even come with bathrooms like his Amazon trucks!

/s

but sparsely populated Alaska doesn’t currently have the energy infrastructure to support a major build-out of data centers there.

That’s the neat part…

No area does.

When they go in residential areas, peoples faucets go dry and their energy rates skyrocket.

Because there’s not enough infrastructure for the data centers and the population. So they just take it from the population.

Welp, any further attempts to explain the finer points on anything else will probably end up the same as this did…

Best of luck

I want all the twitter clones to implement a better system for how they create posts on the reddit clones than use a random hashtag.

Like, even just give them a setting to enable it instead of by default.

None of them ever understand that they’re spamming us, it needs fixed at a system level

Buddy…

For a lot of this large scale shit, it’s easier to get it to somewhere in Alaska close to a port than the middle of small town America and definitely in residential areas of major metro areas.

They prefer small towns adjacent to major metros because thats where the bribes are cheapest for tax breaks and property deals.

Again, this is all corrupt capitalism making the decisions. Those decisions won’t be good for anyone except the people paying for them or getting paid to make them.

That’s why it’s “cheap” if we enforced regulations and zoning, it wouldn’t even be an option.

Like, arguing that gas is cheaper than an EV, but you only care about price at pump and not all the gas subsidizes we have to pay because of fossil fuel lobbyists.

Gas is “cheaper” but only because oligarchs are making it the cheapest option.

We can just make environmentally prudent decisions the cheapest via regulations.

That’s literally the point of environmental regulations and why Cleveland hasnt had any rivers catch fire in almost 60 years. It would be “cheaper” to handle industrial waste like that again if it wasn’t for regulations.
