this is much more common than you think

not OP, but I’m almost certain that’s xkcd (and it’s an antique for sure)

on average that’s the expected outcome, but sometimes there’s a regression here and there for specific apps

Putting any price on it would be a self-defeating move

There are at least two others that do just the opposite, but I’ve not seen you condemning them, nor calling their content “misleading”. Maybe you just don’t enjoy reading anything outside your own personal bubble?

We aren’t there yet. We’re still at the “manufacturing consent” phase.

This is obviously unpopular around here, but yeah, you’re mostly right. At the end of the day, this is all posturing. The most realistic scenario is Denmark folding, they’ll receive some token compensation for this, and then the land changes hands.

If there’s anything he’s interested in, it’s more likely the minerals. What he would probably like is for US companies to go there and take those minerals

If if was economically feasible to mine there, Denmark would already be doing it. Capitalism demands this.

They should just print a gigantic bill with the US$ 700B nomination in it lol

Must be nice having something like the petrodollar. Enjoy it while it lasts, USA, this can’t go on for much longer…

forced to undergo mental health treatment

Greed is not a mental health issue, is a character flaw

and their fortunes confiscated

100% agreed

Downvoted because it’s an ad for a stupid, gimmicky and pricey product that relies on proprietary software to work.

they’ve been trained to think colonialism is always bad

There isn’t a single colonial project that was/is benevolent. So yes, colonialism is always bad. Also fuck off with the “acquisition” euphemism. What the USA is proposing is simply stealing somebody else’s land.

The son of the shah is a USA stooge. Zero credibility.

But in the middle of Europe people won’t need to become refugees due to unliveable conditions, burning, drought, starvation etc

When the AMOC shuts down you’ll all suffer from extreme cold instead.

Old Nazis and new Nazis deepen security ties with new cooperation

The iPod did well.

“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”

In the mid-nineties I passionately believed that the internet would democratize information and usher in a wonderful new era of well-informed critical thinking and general enlightenment

The profit motive killed this dream. Capitalism seems to wither anything it touches.

and Brazil

Yeah, we should, but money talks :(

The teams should be boycotting too, but that would require having a spine, such a thing is rarely found in the soccer football world.

Henry fucking Kissinger was awarded an Nobel. Obama too, despite having just acceded to the presidency and done nothing yet (he would go on and become one of the most prolific drone striker ever). The “peace” Nobel prize is now and always has been a bad taste joke.
