I'm honestly surprised that the Congress isn't flipping their shit over this. I know the Republicans are trump lap dogs, but this directly undermines their authority and sets a new norm on executive power. I expected more self preservation from those cowards.

To be fair, there seems to be a lot of people who think childhood was the best time of their life. I'm ~50 and I think life was best in my 30s, but it's still pretty great now also. Childhood, and highschool in particular, were the worst.

Why do you think black holes destroy matter? There's an (unproven) argument that they destroy information, but I've never heard an argument that they destroy matter.

The funny thing is, I have Lemmy filtering out all posts with the word Trump in it, but it failed to get this one, the one complaining about too many people talking about Trump!

I wonder how Tesla sales in Israel are going?

That's awesome! I didn't know you could download an LLM and run it locally! That's what I'm really interested in is something that's on my side and not a conduit to Google, MS or other.

I'm so glad Hawley proposed this bill or I wouldn't have known that deepseek was open source and downloadable! I'll have to go look for a download.

So from the conservative viewpoint, what is the rationale for the tariffs? Are people really supposed to believe it has something to do with fentanyl? Like do conservatives actually believe that or is there some other narrative besides Donald Trump is looking to flex his power?

We should propagate a conspiracy theory that when you vote the government collected your DNA so they can eventually clone a replacement citizen and replace you. They can sneaky confuse the system only if they never vote.

I'm sorry, but describing the change from the 80s and 90s as small really misses the mark. The changes were huge and substantial. Not fast enough, of course, but it was no small journey.

"The Trump administration has passed a resolution saying that Mexico will now be called 'America South' and Canada 'America North'. Google said it will follow the government's lead in changing the names on it's maps app."

 

I see CEO's as the last working person in the system. They are at least putting in the time and effort to make money. The are "the last working man/woman" in the chain up to the owners. The real travesty is the owners who get all the money without doing any actual work.

If the CEO makes less money, do you think you'd get more? The answer is no. A company will control costs and not pay employees more than they have to. Your salary has nothing to do with the CEOs salary and at least in theory you have a chance to become CEO... more of a chance than you have of becoming an owner.

The inherited wealth, the hedge funds, the owners... they get all the return. They get all the rewords. Even my boss, who started the company I work at, he makes his money by being an owner. His salary as a CEO is pennies vs his salary owning the company. The success of the company should be shared amongst the employees who made it happen, and the truth is they aren't. That's the real kick to the nuts, not the salary of the CEO.
