I started watching the movies again and I’m almost done and it’s fascinating. If you ignore the harry voldermort stuff and look at the wizard world, there are so many parallels with trump and the administration.

The more power voldermort gains (and even for JK he represents absolute evil), the more the world changes.

First its influence over the ministry, influence over the education system (Delores). Influence over the press, and killing press that is negative about the government. Locating half blood wizards (there’s a parallel with immigrants), I’m not at the end so I don’t know if the lock up halfblood wizards.

I had the same experience until i bought an HP (Omen) gaming laptop a couple of years ago. Even regular Ubuntu didn’t boot from USB drive. I had to mess with some kernel parameters (ACPI or something) to even boot it. Unfortunately sometimes you have some hardware or weird bios that just doesn’t work. Never had this with any other laptop after

In short because Elon (wrongly) believes you only need cameras, he made the claim people also drive with just 2 eyes.

The thing is, we recognize a truck with stickers of a stopsign, while AI vision gets confused.

Waymo (Googles self driving side hussle) was build on lidar and other sensors and has been using robot taxis for many years now in geofenced specific areas.

My kid sometimes makes up shit and completely presents it as facts. It made me realize how many made up facts I learned from other kids.

You can replace Canada with any other country! Europe and the US aren’t really friends anymore these days.

After Russia broke the agreement and attacked Ukraine, the US should have stepped in immediately and this entire was would have been prevented. I mean back in 2014 when the Russians took Crimea.

That’s not very fair, the US also promised Ukraine protection if they’d removed their nukes in the 90s…

FYI

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. When Ukrainian-Russian negotiations on removing these weapons from Ukraine appeared to break down in September 1993, the U.S. government engaged in a trilateral process with Ukraine and Russia. The result was the Trilateral Statement, signed in January 1994, under which Ukraine agreed to transfer the nuclear warheads to Russia for elimination. In return, Ukraine received security assurances from the United States, Russia and Britain; compensation for the economic value of the highly-enriched uranium in the warheads (which could be blended down and converted into fuel for nuclear reactors); and assistance from the United States in dismantling the missiles, missile silos, bombers and nuclear infrastructure on its territory.

Trumps massive tax cuts for the rich from his first term are almost ending, he needs a lot of money to renew them.

Russia has started up a war economy, scaling up production of weapons, tanks, etc.

Putin probably waits untill Trump destroys NATO and is just taking his time to prepare.

The only reason Ukraine has been holding on for this long is because all the stuff they got from the US and EU. If that stops it’s not going to last long.

Pete Hegseth already completely fucked Ukraine by saying they need to give up on joining NATO and just accept that Russia can keep all the occupied areas. It’s like the Trump administration just wants to kiss Putin’s ass.

I’m very happy I live in a country where all consumer prices must include taxes. It’s so much better knowing what the real price is when you buy something.

Probably 2013, the world didn’t end in 2012 and if someone asked me finish this sentence “the last story I read was about Donald…” my answer would be Duck.

The people saying oppression isn’t always bad, what kind of examples or situations do they give? Pretty curious because I can’t really think of any examples where oppression would be good.

Yes exactly, I recently watched this guy’s video and it made me a lot more aware of the left/right thinking we do

For me definitely steps, I walk 5000 steps on a work day, when I actually have time off its more like 10K steps. I would stop working and just walk with my dog for an full hour every day. Combine that with normal daily stuff I’ll definitely get 10K steps (2500 euros/dollars) every day. That’s almost a million a year.

Imagine buying a PC but only be able to install anything from one app store made by the manufacturer

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials

Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.

Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction.[2][3] Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. Xennials are almost exclusively the children of baby boomers and came of age during a rapidly changing period that was the 1990s.
