Any party who is not in power will say just about anything to get the power. If Germany was not in EU, AfD would be screaming at the top of their lungs to join etc. In today’s day/age people all that up on socials etc

> If Germany was not in EU

If you threaten to leave (ie you turn off money supply), then you’re able to use the leverage to gain the change you want, possibly strengthening the EU.


Definitely not every citizen. Close to 1/4 of US citizens are completely debt free.

If you don't have a credit card, why?

I have a credit card but no balance due ever on it. 1/4 of americans do not have any debt, no card debt, no mortgage, no car loans…

Does that include mortgage/car leasing?


State of sports in America is like this - any athlete can commit any crime whatsoever and there is no issues, you get a few game suspension and all is well. you can punch your wife’s lights out, you can mutilate dogs, anything at all, all crime is cool with US society. But you make a wager on a game - you are DONE - it is, in the eyes of Citizens of US - the highest crime you can commit as an athlete. Tbat’s where we are at…

my next door neighbour told me to eat shit (not a nice woman) and … I didn’t … until obeying what LLMs tell you becomes a law people doing shit because LLM told them is natural selection playing out

there is not traffic on the sidewalk :)

> there is not traffic on the sidewalk

"Foot traffic" is a thing, and is typically (AFAIK) the only type of "traffic" strictly legal on sidewalks in many (most/all?) places in the USA.


It's questionable whether a robot that's not carrying a human counts. I can't just plonk down a vending machine on the sidewalk and start collecting money with it, and a vending machine is just a sales robot. The fact this other robot is on wheels is beside the point.

Mobility aids, including motorized ones, are definitely legal on sidewalks. The US doesn’t mess around with accessibility.

When I was younger I was taught that bikes weren’t allowed on the sidewalks, but to my surprise it’s actually been legally allowed in most cities where I’ve lived. There are a lot of wheeled and motorized types of traffic allowed on sidewalks in a lot of cities.

Yeah, there's entirely valid exceptions to the rule for sure, and this is definitely one of 'em.

I've had police where I live ride up to me on their bikes, on the sidewalk to warn me that riding my bike on the sidewalk is illegal. Normally I'd just say "sorry" and stop doing the illegal thing, but in this case, they choose to consistently break the law themselves while telling others that activity is illegal, so I respond with "I'm willing to accept that, except why are you riding your bikes on the sidewalk?" - Police response: "Because it's not safe in the road here. Have you seen how drivers here drive?" - Me: "Point made. Thank you officer." - Police: "Okay, well, just be careful. Don't run into anyone on the sidewalk or we'll have to ticket you." - "Thanks officer. Y'all have a nice day." - Police: "You too." (Our police here are mostly pretty human and overall decent folk if you treat 'em as such. We're kinda lucky in that regard. I've been other places where that's absolutely not the case.)


saying that Iran would benefit from a regime change (everyone knows this, easy topic for Blitzer to kill some time, no one watched him anyways) is not the same as “campainging for war” (we always knew we cannot win).

It's exactly the same, actually. The point of my comment being that Wolf Blitzer's daily campaigning for war (with calls for regime change among other things) happened on the same CNN that is presumably not pro-war-with-iran enough to be convincingly unbiased for the parent comment.

calling for regime change does not entail USA being involved in an armed conflict to make it happen. regimes change all the time on Earth without USA

definitely not biggest flop but it has by far the biggest hype-to-flop ratio.

He’s right, the countries that have lowest crime rates have flock cameras everywhere and zero privacy, this is the way /s

argue it

Assuming you are thinking to build something that would make money - whatever you build someone will clone it with AI shortly thereafter. without a serious moat (which is insanely hard to get) I don’t think there is much to build anymore. “Good” thing is that nowadays you can build things fast and fail/succeed fast unlike “before” where building something took serious time
