If fascist A helps you to fend off fascist B… yeah, it absolutely is.

Easy… best way is to use a small nuke

This only happens after both sides kill each other enough so that the hotheads are gone…

Sigh oookay, expecting to be recalled into service any day now…

Never heard of armament of Uyghurs

No, there was none (at least none i would know of), but it would be nice if it would stay this way, right? wink, wink

Has violence even been an issue in recent times?

Well, would be nice if nobody would give the some… ideas… right?

The EU could offer to NOT secretly arm the Uyghurs and NOT help them with little green men…

Well deserved I think

If their lost earnings means the end of their business… yeah, this IS a legitimate psychological shock.

I mean, with Starship on the horizon, single use rockets are beginning to look like a terrible dated solution…

Well… I would say you are only on the wrong side of history if you lose…

Also, AI-based translation is hilariously awful. Like, let’s assume for the sake of argument that the translation was technically correct (a thing that is not even mostly true), it will always underperform in terms of meaning because good translation conveys the spirit of the words and not the letter. AI translations don’t know shit from Jack because they don’t know anything, nor do they understand the context in which the words stand. And if you are having issues with translating and you’re relying on AI to do so, then how the fuck would you even know it was working correctly?

Honest question: You have not tried DeepL, right?

This is the reason why you simply don’t tell anyone that you have used AI… it’s the same if you researched Wikipedia or your grandpas 1950s copy of Encyclopedia Britannica: It simply doesn’t matter where you got your information from as long as it is valid

Yeah… and?

The “Poland never invaded anyone” take is a bit of a stretch… there was a time when they besieged Moscow…

You are witnessing the last days of copyright of any form right now - mark my words!

The big issue is the oil price though.

Even that - in the mid- to long run - could prove to have some positive effects as it speeds up a shift towards renewables

Breath and talk to myself “No, you will NOT make some highly inappropriate joke about zero money, bootstraps and necks…” breath

My investment strategy over the last two decades was to buy something when its down, forget about it (and so don’t get frustrated when it sunk even deeper after buying), stumble over the investment > 5 years later and be happy about the accumulated money. Surprisingly it worked quiet well so far…

I think one has to look at the danger of a bursting AI bubble with the crisis=opportunity mindset: If the bubble pops there will be THE opportunity to buy and profit when the market moves up again… yeah, it will perhaps not go back up to the all time high but there is a healthy profit to make.

The French that started by beheading kings and nobles… and shortly after anyone who had a slightly different opinion? The French who shortly after that madness had a new Emperor? THAT French?
