Reduced volume, but it will be because of Trump’s tarrifs anyways, with no extra money for the companies selling or the country exporting.
Putting their own export tax/tariff, increase per unit profit to make up for lowered volume.
Like, it’s a thing…
Just because you haven’t heard of something or thought it thru, doesn’t mean it’s pointless…


I don’t know why other countries don’t respond by passing their own export tax/tarrifs…
If trump wants to double the price of your goods, fuck him and get your own slice first.
You still get paid for everyone shipped to America, but the importers only get paid when it sells. So that’s getting business to go after Trump to lower his tariffs.


Not because they have a new album or anything, it’s because the metric includes background music in “shorts” and I guess people keep using aphex twin


No, it’s because if someone makes an account for just one post, they’re most likely trolling, banned from the community on their main account, or just have such consistently terrible takes that they always get heavily down oted and they care too much what people on social media think.
If you stick to the same account and keep posting, people will block you, which gradually increases the amount of people who see your post and agree with it.
If you keep making new accounts to complain about shit, the same people are going to keep down oting you, because they can’t block you.
It’s really not complicated, but a very very small amount of people just can never understand it.


It’s wild people think:
Our nukes matter to aliens
Aliens would just ignore an actual threat
Aliens would ignore a planet that will eventually be a threat but isn’t one yet
The few centuries we’ve been noticable is enough time to feel confident no one is out there.
And still think they know more than anyone else and need to comment on it…


He is deeply and intimately familiar with the technical and social structures of the modern internet, his analysis of various phenomena and trends is usually on-point and has some predictive power
If you think he predicts anything, you’re streets behind
Most importantly he offers solutions to the issues facing us
He repeats what anyone could find in a five minute Google search from articles written by others.
I’ve never seen an original thought, he’s the Carlos Mencia of tech.


I mean, to be real it’ll be an invasion club.
Join and pay up, and everyone votes that your invasion is for long-term stability and peace.
Don’t join up, and get labeled an aggressor for defending your own soverignity.
If Russia, China, NK join up, it stops being a joking matter


The point the fediverse is at right now would be refered to as the “golden age” if the fediverse ever takes off.
That doesn’t mean it will take off, and that doesn’t mean it would be better or worse if it takes off later.
Enjoy it for what it is, but if you want to recruit people to it…
Your time would be best doing that, and this is the worst place to do it.


is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based?
Man…
In a weird way, yeah, but only because the process of critical thinking is now being described as “vibes”…
Like, even when people can tell at a glance, it’s still critical thinking, it’s just been done so much that your brain autopilots it for you.
Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas
That costs a non zero amount of money, and there isn’t a big enough audience here to justify it.
What I have seen, is people who will copy/paste a chatbot, but because they’re having to use actual credits, if you keep them going a couple comments the actual human will reply.
But those are very few, and doing personal agendas. Not a shadowy organization spinning a narrative. The ones doing it here, have just been banned from every where else for doing it already


There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.
Oh yeah, because no one has “documented” that AI is bullshit yet…
Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!
/s


Saying common sense stuff before others
Yeah bro…
No one else has pointed out AI will fail before 1/18/26…
Only the great Cory Doctrow could identify something that no other human has ever even contemplated.
I heard next, he’s going to release a blog post that Nazis might not be nice people


The document describes a mechanism resembling the “purchase” of influence: standard membership in the Board of Peace is limited to three years and depends on the will of the chairman. This restriction is lifted for states that contribute more than US$1 billion in cash to the fund within the first year.
“Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval,” Bloomberg says.
Pay a billion to get a vote, and everyone gets a vote…
But trump can overrule any vote…
And he can kick anyone out that he wants, so if you ever go against his opinion of the moment, he’ll kick you out.
Why the fuck would any country pay this?


how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?
Alright…
This is the point I give up on you ever being able to understand this.
I’m gonna go do something that has a chance of being productive, like teaching my dog how to do a one dog performance of The Nutty Proffesor, there’s a slight chance he pulls it off.
You’re never going to understand trump wasn’t awarded a fucking Nobel


I think it was Seth Meyers who made the joke that trump legitimately believes Alaska is an island close to Hawaii because of how US maps show it…
Like, he keeps talking about how we need a defendable area close to Russia, but keeps forgetting Alaska and Russia are basically spooning and Alaska is closer to Russia than Greenland or Canada


So if the Nobel Peace Price Committee is not ashamed
What?!
If you bought a bronze Olympic medal at a pawn shop, would you start declaring that you were awarded a bronze Olympic medal?
What the actual fuck are you even talking about?


This man has really built a career and following off saying common sense things…
I don’t know why people keep eating it up or acting like he’s a genius, but at least this time he isn’t coining a new term to “explain” something that leads to everyone using it but not understanding what’s actually happening.


Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Price medal
That’s just wild…
Do you honestly think trump “received a novel peace prize” because some idiot who should have never been awarded one gifted trump a physical medal?
Like, I’m literally dumbfounded here, please elaborate on what you think happened with trump and a Nobel peace prize.


Fifa want trump to change “soccer” to “football” and trump wanted a peace prize.
So FIFA made up a peace prize and gave it to trump.
And for like an afternoon trump rambled about how football should mean the same in America as everywhere else. But his followers didn’t latch on to it because no one in maga gives a fuck about soccer.
Fifa gained nothing, and made people hate them even more. I really don’t know why Europe doesn’t just make their own. FIFA has been corrupt and holding the sport back for decades.
So?
Quantity doesn’t mean quality, and that much work without even being a one hit wonder…
Isn’t exactly a positive
