asta vrea sa facă investii in România ca cică românii sunt muncitori. Sa vezi cum se întâlnește tusea cu junghiul: mafia trump care nu plătește mana de lucru si romanul care oricum o sa ii fure din materiale. spotmedia.ro/stiri/evenim...

Furie pe sistemul politic in sus, furie in jos de parca nu tot furioșii sunt cei care votează PSD de 35 de ani in coace. Votanții ăștia de fapt votează cu ura de 35 de ani iar acum sursa tradițională nu le mai atata ura ca înainte. Vor drog nou. Pleznesc vena aia ptr alta seringa

I'm sick of pretending like this is part of the trump admin agenda. When I applied 3 years ago for my B1 visa I had to declare my social media accounts as well. Let's not pretend America was foreigner friendly before November 5th

I love the cognitive dissonance. On one hand, it will replace the labour force, on another apparently employers EXPECT AI literacy. IT IS A GLORIFIED CHAT BOT. You don't need intensive training to understand how it works. But it will make a good buck for the so-called "AI trainers"

Not to be a conspiracy theorist but Pope Francis dying less than 24 hours from meeting with JD Vance is suspicious. Can you imagine what 24/7 exposure could do to a whole country?

I remember 7 years ago when analysing a rendition of this scene that I wrote in my assignment that Thomas stuck his head in Jesus' wound to make sure it was him. I still don't know where that came from

Ah, Yanis yet again with a sophist opinion nobody asked for. I wrote him a letter about his equally stupid take on Georgescu explaining how banning a candidate because the broke the law does not mean the end of democracy. Not that it would sway his anarchist approach.
