  • Question, why are we linking fox 59, when the hill has the same article word for word?

    Second, why are we being told we are wrong? By what metric are we incorrectly measuring?

    Forty-nine percent of respondents say unemployment is at a 50-year high, though it’s actually close to a 50-year low at less than 4 percent.

    Please stop pretending that just because people are employed that they are not working harder then ever before to stay afloat. It is disingenuous at best.

    The NBER said the most recent recession coincided with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the U.S. hasn’t been in one since.

    Getting out of a recession does not mean people did not have to make hard choices with their finances during that time.

    Just because we are pulling out of the Covid craze, does not mean that the average household has rebounded.

    People had to uproot their lives and won’t feel the effect of good policy until well down the line.



  • Ah, Lindsey graham, still giving idiots around the world hope that they too could be a US senator one day.

    1. We have 2000kg guided munitions now, we don’t need to nuke Gaza. As barbaric as that seems, we really have moved on pass nukes.

    2. Nuking Gaza would mean radiation for everyone else. Including Israel. Generations of Jewish people would battle cancer for 2-4 generations.

    3. They are children you bloody nutter. What is seriously the worst thing a 6 year old can do that would warrant a nuke? Unless you have blueprints of a cyborg-ninja 6 year old, I don’t want to hear it.

    4. Waste of US resources and good will for… nothing?





  • “I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

    You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

    No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

    1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

    2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

    3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.


  • What a wonderful display of logic in action.

    You believe climate change is a hoax

    Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

    Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

    1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

    Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.

    Fair point.

    Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

    However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.




  • Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

    Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.

    In fact it is the reverse.

    Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

    As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

    Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.

    Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.


  • “The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.

    The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:

    In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.

    A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”

    The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.

    I couldn’t be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.


  • If you are wondering who is the commission, the United Nations has a good overview on their past and accomplishments.

    They all don’t have a history of Anti-semitism, as claimed, but more along the lines such as:

    • Human rights in Gambia vs. Myanmar
    • Human rights on housing
    • Inquiry into Detention in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

    These guys are no joke, they have done this before. But more importantly, the comment that got them suspended?

    “We are very disheartened by the social media that is controlled largely by, whether it is the Jewish lobby or it is specific NGOs, a lot of money is being thrown into trying to discredit us,” he said in the interview.

    But above all that, the excuse that Israel is using is:

    When asked by The Times of Israel what these claims were based on, Haiat said, “The commission of inquiry is there to investigate Israel without any time limits, unlike any other commission of inquiry from the UN system.

    Keep in mind, not even the investigation team knows how long it will take, so of course there won’t be a time frame. And they work for the UN, why do they need one?



  • do you have empathy for those killed on oct 7? do you have empathy for those crammed in shelters due to indiscriminate or blatant attacks on civilians by hamas? while their rockets may not be precision accurate, the ballistic characteristics alone offer enough accuracy to avoid them dropping in the middle of population centers in israel. do you have empathy for that?

    We call this multi-tasking, but yes. Generally one can feel empathy for more then one party, it isn’t a zero sum game.

    empathy goes out the window after what happened oct 7. i watched the twin towers fall on 9/11 in new york. there was no talk of empathy. from anyone. but i heard a few comments about the world needing a reminder of what a nuke can do.

    It is a shame people only watched our rage, and didn’t learn the lesson 10 trillion dollars later, and all our hard work evaporating in 3 days.

    Hypocrite that I am, fool I am not. Learn from our mistakes or be doomed to repeat them.

    we are beyond empathy here. eliminating hamas and their underground infrastructure requires the tactics israel is using.

    I disagree, there are better methods, more informed methods, safer methods for sure, if we thought about this any other way beside treating bombs like magic pixie dust that makes problems disappear.


  • legitimate targets among civilians and human shields, THAT IS THE WAR CRIME HERE.

    Like when Israel bombed a refugee camp to get a single Hamas Leader?

    Oh, maybe you meant when Hamas targeted the preschools on Oct 7?

    There are no saints in this war.

    you deal with that by attacking anyway and demonstrate to the enemy that tactic does not work and will not be tolerated.

    Hamas, seems to be doing fine, it’s the people of Gaza that have to take the hits. Also not a warm idea for the hostages you’ve doomed to death.

    the situation is beyond the point of tiptoeing around world opinion and rose-colored glasses wearing people like you.

    Empathy, the word you are looking for is called Empathy.

    any org that employs the tactics hamas has used should be wiped out.

    Agreed, use better tactics, aim, and FFS stop hitting the children.


  • unlike what you see here…
    what you see here is propaganda.

    Propaganda for better solutions that don’t involve bombing city blocks because one gang thug had an RPG outside a hospital.

    Maybe I am not comfortable with Israel’s aim

    Maybe I am not comfortable with killing children and teenagers for the sins of a gang of thugs.

    Maybe I am not comfortable with killing civilians if it is going to lead to a broader war.

    Either way, what really irks me, is that everyone is okay with it. If this happened in any other place in the world, we would be clawing bloody murder, but because it happens in un-wealthy Gaza. I am a propagandist?

    Guess it’s okay to kill kids so long as they are poor and (possibly) Muslim? What kind of propaganda are you spewing?
