Also, even if we prefer hard power, if DOGE were honest or consistent and looked at how we're doing hard power, they would find at least as much fraud and waste as in social and so…

Well we worked real hard on not changing a regime, not disarming a nuclear power, and not protecting a trade route. How's the investment working out? Maybe if we bomb some more sch…

There's the soft power argument that it was actually in US's self-interest to help. And for what it's worth, a lot of the vitriol is from taxpayers who supported that aid.

Or making necessary operations be unnecessarily long, painful, and unsuccessful. I think the anecdotes point to that at least.

I flagged the OP because it's old, but your story is relevant and interesting, as it seems the incorrect map was AI-generated.

The phrase made me chuckle, but I'm curious what exactly "rear ending the singularity" means.

To clarify, Elon himself opposed OBBBA because of the deficit. My point is that anyone cheering on DOGE for cuts but staying silent on the administration's generally bad record on …

> This is a reason why the US is trillions in debt. Trump's OBBBA will be another reason, expected to add several trillion in the next few years. So yeah, real cuts are probably ne…

I heard "belt and suspenders" at least 20 years ago (meaning multiple solutions to a problem with backup in case one fails), and maybe would be longer if I were older. You could bl…

> the annual water consumption of all US datacenters How many hamburgers will it be if all the proposed/pending datacenters are completed and running?

> Perhaps we could try to destroy those power structures without having a giant war The power structure is what is putting out the satellites and datacenters that you hope will bri…

The data center hosting this website is already built, unlike the ones people are fighting against. I'll grant the general public may not understand enough that they already rely o…

The lockin is that you buy a new computer, and when you turn it on Windows is there. Like 1% of people have any concept that they could change that or how they would go about it. I…

Modern 64-bit Windows doesn't execute .com files, unless the user installs an emulator or something.

Are the future benefits locked in by law or bureaucracy? Or some other reason the agency don't just decrease them?

Lead was the basis for an awful lot of useful gasoline. Doesn't mean it was the only solution or the best one.

Why is he lenient to her at all? It's either guilt or corruption, or at the very least out of character, given his many tirades against rapists. Trump reportedly called the police …

> Epstein died in jail. He was awaiting trial, so death by his choice wasn't necessarily the justice he deserved. His co-conspirator is in a cushy prison as a favor from the admini…

It's like Joey Allegra was just announced as the magazine sales winner. https://moxie.org/stories/money-machine/ Right up there with finding out Grimes was with Elon. Maybe we shou…

> The nuclear problem was never fixed https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2025/06/irans-nuclear-fa... It's kind of a cheap shot at this point, but my point is why should we trust t…

Everything foretold? Iran is the most dominant in the region, they kicked US out, they possess nukes (or conventional) that can reach the US, and the cost of US stopping them is pr…

Weird response that does some dodging of its own. Anyone defending JCPOA is obviously in favor of controlling nukes, so why don't you explain more than restating what we already ag…

I don't think it's that simple. If it was, why hasn't the administration managed to focus on that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationale_for_the_2026_Iran_wa... And your own comm…

I don't think iOS has it from the app switcher, but pretty easy to take a screenshot and immediately select from it. (Or selecting from older screenshots or photos you open.)

The Loureiro case doesn't explain things much better than a conspiracy theory does. At least, after a few minutes of research, I'm still wondering if someone could have manipulated…
