  • I don’t get it… she said she would retaliate against Iran, if Iran attacked Israel with a nuclear weapon. This is inline with any nation that has nuclear weapons, mainly for deterrence, since the start of the Cold War. Do I like it? No… But it’s the reality of nuclear weapons existing. The same would happen if Russia attacked any other US ally… And the same would happen if the US attacked any Russia ally. This is why, ultimately, someone will fuck up, and start a chain of events that may lead to Human’s extinction. Because any nation that uses nuclear weapons has a very high chance of getting hit by one, immediately after! This applies to Murica, to Russia, to Israel, Iran, Pakistan, France, or any other nation that has nuclear weapons, and regardless to who is in power.

    I honestly don’t understand what is the value of this “gotcha” sort of post. Is the OP not aware of how nuclear weapons are used for deterrence purposes? I can assure you, this would happen with whichever POTUS would be in power, even if (and specially if) it was Bernie! Are people forgetting how emotionally tied Bernie is to Israel, and that only after much push back, was he wiling to denounce Israel, when some other of his colleagues in the Senate had already done?

    Hillary has said far more dumb shit recently, like for example, accusing younger folks of being radicalized against Israel by Tik Tok, simply because they are pro-Palestinian, with complete disregard to uncontestable historical facts. I see no value in this post.



  • First of, Trump is not a Republican. He is Trump. Secondly, Trump has had since his first mandate a nefarious effect in politics worldwide, and he is in part why the far-right and nationalistic movements across the globe, are also rising, through the spread of misinformation on the Internet, that transcend US borders. While I was very well aware that there was a thing like anti-vaxxers in the US, that was never a problem here in Europe, and the rise of misinformation, with the pandemic, and with Trump and the MAGA movement, that became a thing now here, along with other conspiracies on Facebook, like the “Moon landing being a staged hoax”. Retired boomers, that have nothing better to do all day, gobble up that shit as if it is ambrosia!








  • I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not… You are aware that, the EU has been famously known for applying huge penalty fines to big tech companies, including Google and Apple, and that even Valve, was targeted for an antitrust lawsuit, that lost?

    Are you also aware that the EU forced Apple to standardized their power cables to use USB-C only, which caused Apple to lose a fair amount of money, because now they will profit less from selling licenses to cable manufacturers. The license costs $99, which is really nothing special but for each connector, the cable manufacturer has to pay Apple $4. This is a huge business for Apple, and that the EU completely shot down.

    The decreased cable lifespan prompted people to buy new cables more often, generating more profit for Apple. Additionally, Apple earned money by licensing third-party manufacturers who wanted to sell cables under the “Made for iPhones” (MFi) program. The commission and licensing fees constituted a significant portion of Apple’s cable-related revenue, totalling a substantial 10 billion dollars

    Did you knew that in the EU, the minimum warranty for any electronic device, is at least 3 years, which can be even higher depending on each member state own laws? From your perspective, this alone, might represent a 200% decrease in revenue, when compared to countries that only provide a 1 year warranty. How is this being pro corporations?

    I will say this in the most respectfully way I can, but you’re full of shit.
