Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available

Those were willfully ignorant and they will remain so until they hurt bad or die, no amoubt of information will change that

So you are saying we better not wait standing up?

The finding out part always suck

Yes, I know how kids act… the point is that he is cutting the USA’s nose to spite its face… so not sure how is that any “win” for the USA…

When was Mexico refusing to be at the table? There is an open relationship and trade agreements in place already… if Trump wanted to talk to Mexico about anything he could have done so with zero barriers

In the meantime, you can rest assured that to “bring Mexico” to the imaginary table they were not in, he torpedoed 100% of trust anyone in the world could possibly have about any contract or agreement with the USA

so where did I oversimplify exactly? he can do whatever he wants, there is a small chance he may be stopped (don’t know by whom, he controls all branches of gov and the courts)

Which translates to “Trump can do whatever he wants… if there happen to be consequences, they’ll be paid by the tax payers”

There is some apathy, sure, but most isn’t apathy–it’s learned helplessness. No matter what they do, nothing changes.

show me what they did and we can start discussing liability here

I suppose that’s a fair point. It comes down to perception I guess. Maybe it’s best described as “some” Americans chose this

How about: “Most Americans who bother voting, chose this. The majority of the rest couldn’t be bothered trying to vote knowing full well it would result in a trump presidency anyway”

Accurate enough?

As if Americans didn’t hand the White House to Republicans every few years knowing full well they are the party of gerrymandering, vote suppression and racism

You cannot now pretend they are victims of happenstance

Through ignorance, bigotry and mostly apathy, Americans as a whole, chose this

Racism, that answer is racism… No need to over analyse this

The paste does not go back in the tube…

But a more accurate example for America would replce the kitchen at home with just microwave

America destroyed their manufacturing capacity outsourcing it all and failed to reinvest any of the profit from that move

Factories don’t pop up like in the sims games

Nobody sid it would only hurt consumers

It would hurt consumers first which is why the majority of the canadian tariffs are delayed 21 days

Tariffs hurt the country imposing them the most

trying this one, pretty interesting so far any way to get gifs in?

Calls it “Deepsneak”, failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.I can’t speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

That stigma was mostly created by Americans … They just don’t want it for themselves

I would think so but don’t really know from a legal standpoint

What’s clear now is that a contract with the USA is not worth an “Elon’s promise” so any current agreement is basically null and void
