  I want to take this opportunity to say that Starmer’s face looks like he is put on the spotlight, confused and doesn’t know what to do, his eyes jolting, jerking and looking around listless with his head, until he confides to you and asks sheepishly: “what do you suppose have me do?”

  Yeah, that explains a lot; aside from being in the pocket of the rich and copying the American Democrat mindset of “wE hAvE tO cApTuRe tHe MoDeRaTeS” (which is a code for don’t anatagonise their rich donors and NIMBYs). The moderate unicorns that neoliberals are trying chase have galloped away long ago. They were called the middle class of the 1990s and 2000s, and now the term middle class itself is questionable at best since the financial crisis. People want more public investment, not austerity.

  That is why I am appalled at Neil deGrasse Tyson’s belief that philosophy is obsolete and exalt science as the ultimate foundation of truth and society. Where and how does he think science first came about? It was called natural philosophy before. And the scientific method has its roots from Socratic questioning. But I know that NDT is too egocentric to change his mind if called out on it.

  Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year

  Exactly. I only played two games before unsubscribing. You have to have so many free time to make the gamepass worth your while and money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just realized that the GenAI craze is like the modern version of Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars project, but somehow both countries got fooled into pouring money into a colossal folly.

  That’s a good point. I was listening to a YouTube podcast on the topic and the hosts did say international competition is the primary reason for developing AI. US rationale is that even if they want to regulate AI, the “bad guy” won’t so it’s better to develop it first before the bad guys. They made the same comparison with the Manhattan Project and the race to beat the Axis from developing nukes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah yes that's my bad⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI also feeling that existential angst of time.

  Good. So when will the bubble burst?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do wonder, maybe there is similar scheme when it comes to housing affordability. There is too much of a coincidence that much of the Western countries are having the same housing crisis. Most ordinary Westerners are perplexed to find out other countries also have the same issue, or are surprised they can’t find a place to live when they move abroad. There is a deliberate manipulation of the housing market and misinformation. Here in Ireland, after all, foreign vulture funds outbid locals and then either rent or sell properties at extortionate price. And yet, the wrong kind of foreigners are getting blamed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elephant in the room⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the elephant in 1970. The elephant now is raging around breaking things while half of us smugly scoff at the other half for believing in elephants transgenders and immigrants.

  FTFY.

  But seriously, I know people who are well meaning for the most part, they are very opinionated on culture wars, but I never heard them talk about economics or climate change. Most people don’t even associate migration with climate change, and instead still think of illegal versus legal immigration. News flash, more droughts and floods will only force more people to migrate.

  Labour is trying to please their rich political donors, who tend to be right wing and will always love them, so long as Labour do their donor’s bidding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being American is not exclusive to black people and thus American culture is a country-wide problem in relation to guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s funny is that virtually everyone acknowledges it. Even Trump acknowledges it when he said that “China thinks in decades”. But the Western capitalist culture is too strongly ingrained that the instinct to be greedy overrides any rational sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don’t shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels

  Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

  Neoliberal politicians do have plans, but it is for the benefit of the rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed, he’s an idiot.

  People are afraid if he becomes prime minister. The thing is he’s a harmless idiot because he is all complain and rhetoric without offering any specific plan on how to implement them. Should he come to power, it’s just going to be whatever the hell happens. His potential leadership will end up collapsing like the far right tenure in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. Farage never really have had any significant leadership experience, because he spent most of his career beating the drum but never leading the band.

  But from my personal perspective, his premiership, if he does become PM and even if it fails, will set precedence and open the floodgate to a cleverer authoritarian demagogue that could plunge UK to a full fascism. I think most people are short sighted about the snowball effect of current actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the guy, but indeed he is being taken out of context if you read the full interview. What Farage means is that Brexit is not happening the way he wants it to happen. He wants more trade deals, stricter immigration, and leaving the obligations from international rules like the ECHR.

  Nothing wrong with seceding from an unquestionably, increasingly tyrannical government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨asked and answered⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  USA under Franklin Roosevelt was probably the only time the country was firmly at the highest peak of moral ground.

  As for the rhetorical questions, you make it sound as though US fascists were in power to effect influence and policy change. They have been loud but never been influential enough. FDR have made sure of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clueless sports fans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the only good billionaires are the ones who would donate most of their wealth and not tell to brag about it. The founder of Duty Free shopping, [Chuck Feeney, is one of the good ones who donated 99% of his wealth] ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Feeney?wprov=sfla1) and was left with $2 million by the time he died. He started to secretly donate most of his wealth at the peak of his career. His secret philanthropy was only found out after he had to disclose his finances during a lawsuit.

  The good billionaires, however few or if there are many, would donate most of their wealth and not brag about it; or not try to announce they would do so but drag their feet, unlike Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
