Piracy is a matter of survival.

Only wearing shorts?! Shameful!

Then why did you respond to my comment? Trump supporters are liars, trolls, and hypocrites, we totally agree on that. My comment didn’t say anything contrary to that.

Your only point is that democrats aren’t at fault. That you think people protesting the genocide of Palestinians is a “manufactured problem” speaks volumes. Biden was bypassing congress to supply weapons for that genocide, but you somehow still think it’s not the fault of democrats or that it’s not a problem at all.

Democrats are great at blaming everything but themselves for losing. I remember people like you on here claiming that the protests about the genocide in Palestine stopped once Trump won but that’s plain bullshit, and there were protests against the genocide in Palestine specifically calling out Trump in my city even after the election.

Now you’re trying to paint me as a Trump supporter for pointing out that discussions about elections tend to reduce outside of elections. What happened to the “rational liberal” that democrats pride themselves on being? Don’t you have some lesser evil acts to carry out? Maybe some people to tie to train tracks?

Next time democrats should try pushing for policies that people want instead of relying on “vote blue no matter who” which clearly didn’t work, even though I voted for Harris. Guess I didn’t vote hard enough, huh?

It’s not surprising that talk about the election was greatly reduced after the election ended.

I think you’re assuming a non-human fantasy dwarf here.

CPU manufacturers were getting jealous at the other hardware manufacturers claiming shortages in this artificial scarcity scenario.

Biden could’ve slammed the brakes on Trump by appointing an AG who would’ve pursued prosecution and put Trump behind bars for his many crimes. Instead he appointed Merrick Garland, who was as useless as himself. Such is standard operating procedure of the democratic party: let bad guys go so you can have someone worse to run against instead of actually making things better.

They are a stock buyer and holder, so they take part in that pricing. If inflated valuations became a detriment, the stocks would be priced accordingly. We shouldn’t desire unrealistic p/e ratios.

If the valuations are bullshit, then the tax code should call them out on it so that valuations wouldn’t be so inflated. If the valuations aren’t bullshit, then they should be able to sell to get the money.

I’m saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of “Next generation will be fucked” is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.

Change is not necessarily progress.

Oh boy, guess we can look forward to more vibe-coded slop which will make it an even bigger pain to use.

What we really need is money out of politics and for AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby that it is.

The plan pushed by Cruz and Scott has been sought by conservatives for many years. Under current law, an investor who bought $100 worth of stock in 1990 and sold it today for $300 would currently owe capital gains taxes on the full $200 in profit. But the $100 investment in 1990 would be worth roughly $230 in today’s dollars after accounting for inflation. Under the Cruz-Scott proposal, the investor would only owe taxes on that $70, rather than the full $200. That is why the proposal is known as “indexing capital gains for inflation.”

Ah, so the ultra-wealthy who have been holding during the longest bull market in history can get a massive discount for dumping on us peons?

They should try entering the desktop GPU market.

I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

So does the national debt matter or does it not?

How much democracy did we bring to Iraq?

“The people” rising up and making demands. You seem to think dozens of people making a demand should have the backing of foreign intervention. What do you think of thousands making demands? Why support one and not the other?
