Exactly. If anyone thinks Russia will stop at Ukraine, they're a fool

I wouldn't say it's just more important, I'd say it's a moral imperative to support Ukraine's fight for it's sovereign land over keeping buddy-buddy with a government running rampant with corruption and Russian puppetry

Terrorism, according to the United Nations General Assembly:

Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.

Luigi certainly didn't bring the public into a state of terror, if anything quite the opposite - so I suppose the real question is do we class Health Insurance Executives politically as a group of people to incite terror onto?

I'd argue that a group of people who would happily sign away someone's life if it meant them getting richer don't deserve that kind of recognition, but I'd bet the courts will say yes because their rich friends want an example made of him.

So not only was this multi-billion dollar, fortune 100 company too stingy to pay for training data, it was too stingy to reseed the data it pirated!

Either seed or don't torrent. Don't be a leech.

Even if I were being charitable to say what he meant was not being famous is easier, it's still such a backhanded remark to make - I'd rather deal with the problems of fame than the looming threat of the poverty line any day of the week.

It's the tried and tested Elon Musk method of performance evaluation. Fire all the workers, then be shocked when they don't want their old job back for a lower wage and worse contract terms

Trump Derangement Syndrome... Otherwise known as being rightfully angry/shocked/horrified at the things Trump has been allowed to get away with doing and keep doing - things that would've landed the average person in jail for multiple lifetimes.

I mean for fuck's sake guy literally embezzled a charity, yet we're crazy for thinking he's a morally bankrupt person?

Well done to DOGE for absolutely tearing up the place scrounging up the US Government's metaphorical pennies, whilst ignoring actual budget inefficiencies, such as the infamously overzealous military budget

That's usually the time my brain decides to conveniently forget that info so I can look like a dumbass, only to remember when the conversation has already moved on

I've been using protonmail basically since its inception for money-related stuff (due to it being secure), and the one time I've had a fraud flag appear while using it was due to being on a VPN at the same time.

... But I've had that also happen when I used to daily drive Gmail, so I can't imagine the Proton part made the difference.

Obviously anecdotes aren't very good evidence, and maybe in your experience it was your email - but if that is the case, I'd be weary of any provider that automatically flags non-"big tech" addresses as fraudulent. That likely means they're rather lazy about their cybersecurity.

Well the simple answer is that doing that is the easiest way to divide the masses and turn them against one another, thus allowing the rich to maintain control and do what they want

This whole screenshot is basically one state's propaganda machine vs. another.

Just because the Chinese propaganda machine is acting the straight man in this particular interaction, doesn't mean they don't have skeletons in their own closet
