Being allies really doesn't mean anything anymore, does it?

I really wonder how long it will take to rebuild all these burned bridges.

What does allies have to do with this situation? Both aircraft involved were American.

Happened in Dutch Caribbean controlled Airspace

TIL Europe still has some presence in the Americas. Thought all of that was gone with the Monroe Doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine was about preventing colonial powers from enacting NEW efforts to reach into the Americas, not about getting rid of previous control.

"The occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects FOR FUTURE COLONIZATION by any European powers." (emphasis mine)

France's longest land border is the one it shares with Brazil.

Yeah, you can visit the EU by… sailing a ways Northeast(ish) from Maine, until you’re just south of (a part of) Canada. And by going to the Caribbean. And South America.

Mostly France and the Netherlands.

Ty this is great

I'm unsure if you're making a joke that flies over my head, but no Greenland is Danish, not Dutch.

That'd be the Danish.

That's why i asked, i glanced through wiki first. Thanks.

Will the US ever get back to where they were, as the world's only superpower and "world police"?

I just don't see how we're going back.

unlikely, at least not during this generation. even putting aside the current admin, the US has (to put it extremely lightly) long failed to police its own and certain "allies'" behavior, which undermines the concept altogether.

at this point, there are unfortunately no "good guys" at the state level.

Someone has to prevent the execution of journalist who speak out against the regime and that has no due process and also have highest execution rate of any country. They labeled "Authoritarian state" by Amnesty International and Humans Rights Watch and "Systemic human-rights violator" by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Oh wait, i mixed up Saudi Arabia one of the US's closets allies with Venezuela.

If a bridge gets built then destroyed, built then destroyed, built then destroyed and so on, people will stop using it. They'll also stop trusting the bridge builder.

You run into trouble if someone manages to set all of them on fire at once.

People all over the world are already building new bridges to places like China, so even if the old ones are rebuilt, they might get substantially less use.

Tomorrow it's my turn to pretend to have written this!

Good luck with that :)

That's an unfair strawman, and you're putting words in my mouth which I really did not intend. (or even imply)

MCP was just something they thought up as an idea, not a hard standard. Because we had nothing before.

1. Company invests in newest fad 2. Takes backside of napkin drawing as integral part of their company 3. ? 4. Profit

The article is not wrong in its findings, but the conclusion "hey, this stuff isn't much tested is it?", could have been assessed upfront.

I agree, that's the problem

I'm not sure MCP was designed to be as popular as it is today

But given that it is, and that many people are deploying in critical production settings, all these problems should somehow be addressed, because right now it feels like a mess

"Worsens" is relative.

Discovery of heinous defamation circles, doesn't sound like something to look away from or feel sorry for.

> doesn't sound like something to look away from

Frankly, I don’t waste my time online with toxic behavior. In real life, I might have a response. Online, it is too hard to get an idea if the interaction is even sincere.

You're completely right, sorry, I meant more for authorities, not you or me.

Time to negiotiate less hours on contract and do those same hours as "overtime"

We can see a lot of knee-jerk responses from people with Stockholm syndrome.

- No, the rich won't run away.

- No, the rich are not carrying the country.

- No, caring for another or a lesser fortunate, isn't communism.

It's weird I have to say it, but some really need to hear it.

If the rich won't run away, then Spain and Brazil don't need global action. They could just jack up taxes on the rich in their own countries. And since you've now pinky sworn that the rich will stay and pay the extra taxes, it won't have any adverse effects domestically.

Did that site just got "slashdotted"? Because none of the examples want to load atm.

It's working for me. All of them. There is no demos submitted for 2025 edition yet tho
