  • But I still think they are too stupid to realize the flaws of those plans.

    Blinkered I'd say. Self-obsessed. Neverending greed is a mental condition. Either way, it has very little to do with intelligence imo.

  • I agree. Hubris pure and simple. Seems a common delusion these days.

  • Totalitarianism is a harsh mistress.

  • I suspect they have some sort of plan how to solve that conundrum. We should ask Curtis Yarvin.

  • Oh, another coocoo proposal. Anything to get a media mention, and if it happens to go through: yay, another step towards Gilead.

  • Totally on brand. Feels like the way he treats FB's fuckups.

  • ☝️

    This is important to understand. They don't care about the fall of society or the planet, as long as the financial system stays intact and their lines go up. They have long prepared themselves for the end they themselves are pushing.

  • This is a fucking joke. I wish media wouldn't take it seriously.

    I recently read this about their "new" spacestation:

    The latest concept for the ROS reflects Roscosmos' changing situation in recent years, owing to sanctions and the termination of international cooperation following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. According to Orlov's announcement, Russia will separate its modules from the ISS once the program is completed in 2030, forming the core of the ROS, with other modules to follow.

    In other words, they're just decoupling & rearranging the modules & renaming the result.

    Feel free to extrapolate from that how realistic a Russian nuclear plant on the moon is.

  • They're still Arabs, so no.

  • With impunity. They don't care anymore about the message they're sending. They think they're safe in their position as the USA's largest military base in the Middle East. I hope they (and the USA) get proven wrong rather sooner than later.

    Merry fucking Xmas. In some way it makes me happy that the world seems to agree with my hate of the holidays.

  • Yes The Onion!

  • Is "exotic dancers" the euphemism I think it is?

  • Sweet irony. Please, give this "man and woman" a medal. Love and kisses.

    And I hope the police welcomed the DHS agent appropriately. Maybe put him in a cell, for his own safety of course. Until matters are resolved. Like, who actually assaulted who.

  • meh

  • Nobody takes this seriously (I hope), but coming from MAGA's #2, it's all just a little too on the nose.

  • And it didn't happen by accident either. That was his business idea right from the start. Even the eventual reveal.

    (I don't know, but I hope so)

  • I'm starting to think that every article that has the words "sparks debate" in its headline is complete bullshit.

  • Money running out, or did you sell your soul to Big Music, who are doing this on your behalf?

  • They don’t. Aisle seats sometimes cost extra due to the slight bit of extra room to wiggle around in, but window seats never do (as far as I’m aware) - because it’s not actually an advantage to sit by a window. This is a nothingburger of an article.

    "As far as I'm aware", nice save. Maybe read the article before you dismiss it?

    Both airlines were accused of unfairly charging extra for some window seats without warning that there wasn't actually a window there.

    Aviva Copaken, a plaintiff in the United suit, said she paid as much as $169.99 to choose a window seat, only to find out upon boarding that she only had a view of the cabin wall.

    While American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Ryanair are among the airlines that warn customers about this in the booking process, United and Delta do not, the suits say.

    How nice of you to play for big corpo that habitually rips off customers by always skirting the extent of what the law allows them to get away with. They must be called out - to the fullest extent of the law - whenever they overstep, however little.

    I'm sure multiple lawyers and countless plaintiffs decided to go to court over a "nothingburger".
