U.S. tariffs on Mexico to be paused for a month, Trump says
Reply in thread
Delaying something as big as tariffs by a month is not some kind of epic loss.

Tech stocks tumble as a Chinese competitor threatens to upend the AI industry; Nvidia down 17%
Unfortunately Deepseek is not very good and highly sanitized.
I guess investors are not very savvy. Now would be a good time to buy.

Chrystul Kizer jailed for 11 years for killing her abuser
Reply in thread
Do some research on the case. She was free and then traveled back to kill him and burn his house down.
Very cool, very righteous. Unfortunately premeditated revenge killing is illegal, though.

Open decentralized social media is bringing us back to that era 20 years ago when social media was just starting and people just talked and openly discussed the issues of the day with one another.
Unless the mods remove your posts.

She could've sued the man himself. She could also sue the courts and, yes, the pigs. All in civil court, but with the right lawyers she could've secured a bag.
Now she'll be in jail instead.

The “legal” system failed not only Chrystul, but the surrounding community.
Excellent grounds to start a lawsuit. Not a murder, though.

Then there's nothing unique about open and decentralized social media.
The technology where I could "start my own server" has always existed.

A couple dumb ass things here.
Number one, engaging with an opinion you don't agree with is not the same as accepting it.
Number two, if Aristotle were alive today, he would probably alter this translation to not say educated, but enlightened or intelligent.
Because education is too broad of a term and can be more like brainwashing than actual enlightenment. Many educated people absolutely cannot entertain thoughts outside of the dogma they have been taught.

State Department freezes new funding for nearly all US aid programs worldwide

This is about priorities.
I don't give a fuck about our soft power inasmuch as giving other countries money is a requirement to maintain it.
I'd rather we have focus on internal issues at all, and resolve many of those, before we dedicate resources to fixing other people's problems.

It's wild that you pasted my quote in here although you continue to argue against a strawman.
Only neolibs give a shit about the "soft power" that we get from foreign aid.

Are you not aware what Nazism does?
This is pathetic and insulting discourse. This thread is about providing aid to other countries. Stay on topic.
