The depressing reality might be trump is super into murdering a lot more people with airpower, but no troops on the ground. And the average voter magically considers that anti war, because they don't need to bother their precious eyeballs because it's just dirty foreigners that will die.

Joey kinda hits on a point where Trump's nonsense short circuits the best ability the EU has to tell him to fuck off. How can you deploy the anti coercion rule if he is changing shit week to week. It's a personal ego driven nightmare, and the EU is well equipped for a lot of shit but not that.

An amazing thread where the minds ruined by social media ideas actually repeat in the replies!

I'm assuming Poland and Germany, Taiwan as well. I mean I'm not the smartest man on earth, but bloody hell if they are not they are the world's ultimate morons. Just crazy proliferation now the USA has become a completely unreliable umbrella.

I genuinely have no idea how horrific the worst case scenario is here, I mean in terms of how quickly the effects will manifest, in terms of hitting common public view. Assuming crazy stuff like vaccine bans in the US, 5 years? No idea and I hate it.

It's not that bad, but again normie cuban is kinda right.

I use AI quite a bit for research for work, but for the love of God I always validate the sources it gives me. It's only a few minutes extra time spent, why are people so lazy!

In some areas yes, others it's a even more cynical need to increase their own property values. Ireland NIMBYs I would say fall more into that deeply cynical bracket.

This is the thing with Hawley I don't get, he is such an obvious troll, I'm surprised you don't have more people like Shaw ready for it, and basically completely roll him. In terms of trolls, senator Kennedy's countryside sthick is actually harder to combat.

I actually have less tolerance for the FIA just letting this crap slide then Max actually doing it. He's been like this for years and they always chicken out of really dropping the hammer on him. Not the job Verstappen to install some backbone in them.

Actually genuinely curious how on earth someone ended up working at palantir, and somehow had enough cognitive dissonance to be clueless they worked at evil corp.

Always a bit of a shocker that the newey era McLarens only ever got 1 constructors championship as well.

Look we all can get our heads turned by a large enough salary to work anywhere, Im not a fool. But man the mountains of cash I would need to work for these lads, it would be a spike in total Irish GDP levels. Doctor evil levels of cartoon behaviour.

It's utterly bizarre to watch European events circa like 1905, but in 2025. Just swap out this for random bits of Europe forcibly swapping hands and it's the same dynamic. I just cannot understand any sort of defensible argument for it.

Man the years after getting rid of blatter has some serious monkey paw energy to them.

It is weird that of all the possible slogans, Irish bigots chose "Ireland is full" when, very notably, Ireland is basically the only country in the world with fewer people than it had 200 years ago

I tire of krugmans sthick with this. Yes Ireland is used as a tax funnel by many companies, but that last line reeks of anglo ignorance of how and what the EU is and what it does. Crack down? Do you mean bring one of those pesky smaller countries to heel Paul?

Cuban talks about this and gets a lot of grief for it, but weirdly I think him and also the people hammering him both have valid points. Crypto is a rancid infection of sustainable finance, but as more and more people yolo into it you are stuck having placate them to get votes. Not ideal.

people get mad at me when I say this but it's a Serious Problem for bluesky's long-term viability that the userbase actively tries to bully people they don't like off here

Pretty accurate. That said I think the only item I had zero choice but replace in the 7 years I've had a house is the boiler. Overall maybe 20k has been spent on improvements. Thankfully I'm mortgage free, otherwise these costs of ownership can bite.

Yea that will totally get the EU to shift focus.... It's brexit idiocy on steroids.

I'm reminded of that period where a game would be over 60 dollars, and it would be for some crackers reason like they jammed an arcade machine CPU into the cartridge. Looking back the early 90s was the last of the real Wild West for gaming.

Trump and von der Leyen's decisions to end Western sanctions on Syria will do more towards lowering migration to the EU and UK than any of Starmer or Meloni's performative posturing

Yup. Worst person you know meme etc.

>be starmer >win once in a generation gazillion seat majority >do nothing for a year

That's it guys, one more pander to the braindead bigot voting bloc, I'm sure they will vote for you now! *Checks, nope they still vote for reform!*
