Where’s the flex seal guy when you need him?

That’s possibly the sloppiest march I’ve ever seen.

Trump's obsession with tariffs dates back to 1988 when he lost an auction for the piano from the movie Casablanca to a Japanese buyer. Afterwards, he started complaining about how all these other countries are ripping America off, and here we are.

It was invented by the courts entirely from whole cloth.

It’s pretty cool that the ruling class’s big solution to all problems is now to build a machine god.

Getting rid of de minimus exemptions made it impossible to assess duty on the volume of packages coming in. So they just won’t accept packages at all.

We couldn’t even build a pier in Gaza

Like Truth Social and Twitter?

How much?

Most people I’ve seen are going on about either

1) the novelty of talking to entirely new people, which is a relative rarity since the early, heady days of MySpace when social media was new and gardens felt much less walled. For Gen Z, it might actually be a first given their average age; or

2) how the lives of average people compare to theirs and compare to their prior notions of what they thought life was like

These seem to go both ways btw, e.g. Chinese people being amazed that we really do need to pay for ambulance rides and that it’s not just govt propaganda. People are going where interesting things are happening, it’s plain and simple.

TikTok is old news now. Everyone’s joining 小紅書 and getting fully Xi-pilled.

I’m not trying to pick on you specifically but that is precisely the kind of neoliberal thinking that has caused such rot in the US (and more broadly, western) military.

Is spending a lot of money the goal or the measurement here? If your goal is actual effectiveness, then things such as force structure, results in recent conflicts, production rates, etc. are what you’d measure. If your goal is funneling money to capitalists then yeah sure budgets and adherence to “%GDP spending targets” from your vassals is what you’d measure.

Same. GitLab CI isn’t perfect, but it is quite excellent and GitHub seems very rudimentary in comparison. At my job we’ve been using GitLab CI for a few years now. We did an analysis of what it would take to move to GitHub and the answer was on the order of hundreds / thousands of person-hours and there are some things we just couldn’t port, period.
