My rough understanding is that the bill cuts the carbon tax that Tesla sells to other companies that makes Tesla profitable.

Yea ok that’s dumb, unless it’s CSA material people don’t deserve to be imprisoned because they made or wrote porn.

Yea I’m taking this with a massive handful of salt. I was just in Beijing and queer couples were just walking around openly being couples. Also the only time in my life I was comfortable around police they were very much just average community members with public service jobs.

If this is true it’s probably some dumbass with brainworms, but I’m not taking the pro genocide propaganda rag that is the NY Crimes at their word.

Sad part is that the language used in the article is a massive improvement. The bar is this low

They actually named Israel, normally it was just “shots were reportedly fired” or something along those lines.

They also use “Palestinians” instead of “Gazans”. This has been a huge editorial no no up until now.

They also switched from " Hamas run health ministry" to “Gaza health ministry”.

New York Crimes earning it’s nickname

Not the person your responding to, but Hakeem Jeffries is Nancy Pelosi’s protegee. That’s probably the reference.

Not sure what it has to do with moral courage though, but I see these people as careerist ghouls more than cowards.

Yea the average person just doesn’t care though, they either know this isn’t true, or they see Israel doing horrific crimes while getting billions of dollars and weapons and just don’t care about being seen as antisemitic. There’s also the Zionists but thats just preaching to the choir.

The second one is way more common, I’ve had to have a few talks with family members about that.

ABC News just covered the shooting, looks like they are running the standard Zionism = Judaism approach. This has been completely failing to run defense for Israeli actions among the public.

I don’t think this will turn into a Luigi situation, mainly because it doesn’t affect Americans directly, but I do think the approach will alienate more random Americans.

Adding to one reasons that China didn’t develop capitalism in the same way as Europe.

Confucianism played a huge role both culturally and politically in China at the time. There was a civil service exam that you needed to take to get into government positions, and almost all commoners would have experience with Confucius philosophy. And Confucius considered making a profit to be something that petty men do.

I think it’s one of the major reasons that the merchant classes never held the same sway with the the government as they did in Europe.

Yea, that’s definitely one of the worst aspects of AI is how confidently incorrect it can be. I had this issue using deep seek and had to turn on the mode where you can see what it’s thinking and often it will say something like.

I can’t analyze this properly, let’s assume this… Then confidently spits an answer out based on that assumption. At this point I feel like AI is good for 100 level CS students that don’t want to do their homework and that’s about it

they call me the paper tiger folks, 纸老虎 in Chinese, I fold under no pressure, all it takes is a little rain or a little water and I crumple.

Not like those Chinese, now they are iron tigers, real tigers, and all they had to do was… Nothing.

Hey he’s just speed running for the record low approval rating of all time. Currently at 17% approval and only 17% more to go

deleted by creator

I think the 245% is referencing Chinese EV exports which already had a 100% tariff implemented on them by the Biden admin. So it’s the 145% plus the 100% previous tariff

Me neither, also after JD Vance publicly called Chinese people peasants, I don’t think the CPC will back down at all and they can easily get the public on their side by just playing that clip on national TV. Meanwhile tariffs being unpopular in the US will only make Trump double down.

I think this is only going to stop escalating when the American bourgeoisie forcibly stop Trump from escalating.

Lmao Mexico gets no tariffs and they get to move troops up to the border in response to the US putting troops there, along with the US government actually agreeing to curb weapons trafficking. Trump got played like a fiddle

I’m not too familiar with internal Egyptian politics, what are the implications of Trump pulling diplomatic and financial support for the current government? I recognize it as America shooting itself in the foot, but I don’t see what any other leverage the state department could use.

I didn’t believe it until I saw the aid trucks moving in across the Egyptian border. I can’t articulate the wave of relief I felt seeing that. Even if the ceasefire falls apart a week from now, that aid will save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who would have otherwise died from starvation, disease, and the cold weather.

He also said that Hezbollah did Oct 7th and mixed up Qatar with Kuwait lol

What was the international incident between China and the US that was stupider than the weather balloon thing?
