  • Russia's invasion of Ukraine started as a military exercise. Just because a military unit is on an "exercise", it does not mean it is not combat capable, or a valid military target.

    You are in serious need of education.

  • Depends? Morality like "don't steal" is partially a consequence of game theory. Game theory is math.

    Is math a social construct - obviously not completely.

  • If you look at Trump's approval rating, it only really starts to move when gas prices move. Also historically. I think it is quite obvious where OP got their idea from.

  • JD Vance arrives in Hungary to back Orbán's re-election bid

    Jump

  • Hungary is Putin's lapdog, effectively supports Russia in Ukraine and sabotages the EU from within. As well as Victor Orban being the enemy of basic democratic norms.

    The Trump administration literally sees the EU as their enemy. Trump wants to break up the EU because the EU is strong enough to protect EU members against Trump. Trump wants Europe to be a weaker group of small countries, that Trump can individually exploit in one-sided trade deals. The Trump administration hates Democracy, and hates us.

  • we're cooked

  • there are sources that substantiate him saying something very similar.

    As in, you can go read Trump's actual post yourself.

    I don't like this shitpost. It is too close to reality, so it effectively becomes misinformation, doesn't add anything to the world.

  • Nope, it was explicitly every single Israeli. Explicitly stated. A mod has removed the comment now, so I can't link to it - but that kinda proves my point (unless you think I am making up everything).

    I do get the impression that lots of people here believe the sentiment in that comment. While being too self aware to actually state it in writing.

  • Are they shooting those ships without warning?

    So if I warn civilians that I am going to shoot them first, then it is OK to shoot them. According to your advanced moral theories, I assume.

    Edit: Israel blockades Palestine, US blockades Cuba, but it’s terrorism when Iran or Yemen do it. Sure, bud.

    So because "Israel bad" or "US bad", it is good that the Houthies shoot random innocent ship crews?

  • Lets shoot at some innocent ships and their innocent crews. Terrorism is fun! Hell yeah!

    Note: My comment is a joke. Unlike the comment I am replying to.

  • I just had a guy here tell me that shooting civilians in Israel was OK, because there are no Israeli civilians.

    The anti-semitism here is effing out of control.

  • Supreme Court paves way for dismissal of Steve Bannon contempt of Congress case

    Jump

  • if the DOJ no longer wants to prosecute the case, isn’t this just the SCOTUS saying, " OK?" which was probably a foregone conclusion after the Solicitor General told them they were abandoning the case back in Feb?

    Courts can refuse to dismiss a case, though it is rare. In https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/434/22/ lower courts had refused a dismissal, though that was overridden by the Supreme Court with the argument that dismissal

    cannot fairly be characterized as "clearly contrary to manifest public interest."

    In the case of Bannon, it seems to me that it is very much contrary to public interest to dismiss. We are in extraordinary times, and this is an extraordinarily corrupt dismissal. So if we think it was a foregone conclusion, then it is only because we know SCROTUS is corrupt, right? Not because the law said so.

  • Father and son incinerated after ‘self-driving’ Tesla suddenly slammed into tree

    Jump

  • The question is not whether current battery technology poses that risk: it does. The questions are whether that’s an outsized risk relative to other car technologies and whether Tesla could have done more.

    Googling, there also seem to be a consensus that the fire risk in petrol car is way higher than the risk for battery cars. E.g. from https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/20/do-electric-cars-pose-a-greater-fire-risk-than-petrol-or-diesel-vehicles

    “All the data shows that EVs are just much, much less likely to set on fire than their petrol equivalent,” said Colin Walker, the head of transport at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit thinktank. “The many, many fires that you have for petrol or diesel cars just aren’t reported.”

  • Father and son incinerated after ‘self-driving’ Tesla suddenly slammed into tree

    Jump

  • After some googling, the "Why?!" in the image seems to be completely bullshit, though.

    1. Electric cars have a way lower amount of deaths from fire than petrol cars. So why would there be outrage about Tesla fire safety?

    2. The comparison in the image also completely ignores number of cars on the street, total miles driven. All car models will have fire deaths. Without scaling with number of cars, you are just always going to be outraged at the number of deaths for the most popular car model...

    3. The outrage about the Ford Pinto was because it was a known specific defect which was covered up (fuel tank rupturing when rear ended), more than the number of deaths in itself. As far as I can tell, the number of fire deaths were actually not extraordinarily high for the Pinto. Hence comparing this not especially high number to Tesla for outrage purposes is meaningless.

  • Real programmer test

    Jump

  • In some cases, it is "code as documentation". Saves me from 1) remembering the steps 2) means I actually doing the steps correctly 3) Actually remembering to do the 10 minute task when I need to.

    If I had not done the program, then I often would have to write down and maintain documentation elsewhere.
