This is a gift to Israel and the United States. They get one more reason to undermine these institutions. Eventually there will come a time where they will be on the receiving end, and they will be. At that time they will regret that there are no longer any international laws that apply to them.

Infrastructure versus genocide. There may be a difference there.

Easy fix. Stop paying them.

Humidity makes it even worse.

Above 100F is where it’s considered critical, where the body can no longer dissipate heat through the environment.

A normal day in Russia.

Would if he could.

with some making large voluntary contributions to the state budget

In the US, we call these campaign contributions.

That would probably be because I don’t use them?

Good for you, but then that doesn’t make you the most reliable source on their capabilities.

Why would I need that when I can use a calculator myself?

Because it doesn’t just execute your calculations. It solves the whole math problem, then codes an app to handle future problems like this, automatically.

Sure, you don’t need to use it, if you’re already comfortable with what you have. AI brings nothing new, but it does allow for speed and convenience (so long as accuracy isn’t critical).

Probably not a direct transfer. But there’s not so many details on who or when it will be paid.

The alternative is economic and supply chain collapse.

get nothing and in 30 years they will be at it again with the nuclear weapons?

Thirty? They’ll be back at it next week.

You can be assured Israel won’t pay a dime out of all this.

So status ante-bellum+ money? This doesn’t look very promising, or long lasting.

What happened to the monarchs with Epstein links?

The bricks don’t bug out. Mostly.

They have, you’re not using the latest premium models.

Give the people what they like.

but i’m making some scripts to automate some shit so i can screw around at least half the time

So will your boss, with mandatory AI usage.

He won’t be able to rationalize these concessions

As if his supporters needed any “rationalization”.

Is there a sane index fund somewhere that avoids ecocidal bullshit, fraud, cronyism and genocide?

This is an antithesis. Even if such an index existed, no institution would be willing to fund it, making it irrelevant. Can’t make money without stealing it from somewhere.
