Am I wrong here?
Yeah…
India is a huge multicultural area that is only unified because the Brits did it…
The majority religion/language/culture is led by Modi who is a full on fascist trying to “erase” everyone who is different. And his actions often meet the definition of genocide.
It’s not as bad as Gaza right now. But lots of people care.
bankrupt the Western AI companies and their investors, as the hundreds of billions poured into them will never be realized in profits
That’s already happening…
Their big sales pitch to companies is “it’s so easy you’re employees will find out ways to use it!”
Because they have zero idea how to monetize it.
I do know…
What’s weird is you didn’t even click the link or even seem to read my comment:
If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude your foreign earnings from income up to an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation ($107,600 for 2020, $108,700 for 2021, $112,000 for 2022, and $120,000 for 2023). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.
America has bigger problems than migrant workers in other countries who make well North of six figures.
You’re not getting any pity from the average American over “filing fees” when you can do that shit on TurboTax.
Think of it this way: One simple web search takes one unit of energy. Doing that same search, but using an AI model instead, takes 10 units of energy. And finally, using AI to generate an image? That will take you up to 1,000 units. Which leads us to the extra environmental tax.
“There are also impacts of water usage, because these chips that run these models get very hot. And you need water to cool them down,” said Bashir.
Please stop killing the planet so a computer can make shitty pictures for you.
Not just because it’s shitty content, but because it’s killing the fucking planet. And thousand of idiots doing it over and over individually and “promoting” it like it’s some fucking skill is making it exponentially worse.
The vast majority of people really don’t have a clue how their own system works…
It’s not just Republicans.
That gets thrown around all the time…

But the exception to it is pretty rational and covers most people.
It’s like how billionaires convince poor people that can’t afford to retire that a tax only 2% of people will ever pay on inheritance is a pressing issue and society doesn’t deserve their cut.of problematic levels of generational wealth.
Like, do you understand how ripe this is for manipulation by the wealthy to turn public opinion against the wealthiest few who pay these taxes?
C’mon man…
It’s 2025, we need to learn to recognize this shit on our own, misinformation is going to keep getting worse.
Quick edit:
For clarity, you do still need to file federal taxes every year, even though you have zero withholdings and still owe $0.
But people get in trouble for not filing, same as people who live in Alaska. There’s no debt for missed payments, but there may be fines/consequences anyways
Honestly?
I hope he tries
She wealthy and still a household name. She can pay to fight, it would make it undeniable he’s abusing power.
And she literally doesn’t even live in this country. Absolutely zero danger at all, and she was already saying she might not come back.
I don’t know shit about Hawaii
My advice would be to ask more questions, and make less assumptions…
Especially when you’re assuming a disadvantages minority population gets fair treatment in an American judicial system…

It’s not subtle, and it’s definitely not a secret, why are you trying to form opinions on co.plex societal topics off a handful of social media comments?
If I was kicking the shit out of a Mexican in the USA and calling them an immigrant, it would be a hate crime.
That analogy doesn’t really make sense…
Here’s a real life example of what I heard witness multiple fights out there:
Local vs local
You’re a bitch ass cuz
Local vs mainlander (regardless of race)
You’re a bitch ass haole
That’s it.
It ain’t deeper than a substitute for a word that denotes familiar relations…
You seem awfully desperate to find an example of white victimhood though
I was putting an edit in before I saw your reply.
But it’s just a stand in for when something like auntie/nephew/cousin/etc isn’t appropriate because the person isn’t native.
It’s not a racial slur. It’s just what they use for someone that isn’t family.
So it could 100% be coupled with insults at someone because of their race, but the word itself isn’t inherently racist.
Central to the case was the use of the word, “haole,” a Hawaiian word with meanings that include foreigner and white person. Dennis Kunzelman testified that the men called him “haole” in a derogatory way.
Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi said it was not Kunzelman’s race that provoked them but his entitled and disrespectful attitude.
Yeah. That’s not a hate crime.
I’d get called a haole 5x walking two blocks to the beach. Especially in an area that’s still mostly native, they ain’t going to just jump to using the same words for you they use with lifelong members of the community.
You’re literally an outsider and need to make an effort to be welcomed into the community. Until then, you’re going to be called the word for outsider. Well, technically it means “soulless” but it’s not as bad as it sounds.
Edit:
To clarify like a lot of Asian communities a lot of importance is put on family units.
So amongst themselves, everyone is: auntie/uncle niece/nephew brother/sister/cuz
If you’re not part of their family group, they ain’t going to call you that.
You’re a “haole” and that’s all it means, one translation is just “not of the island”. It’s not automatically a bad thing, and rarely is.
But lots of haoles are dicks too. So sometimes you get checked to make sure you’re cool.
Thanks!
I threw an edit in
The same DNC that just ousted vice chair David Hogg
The reason was the prior DNC didn’t follow its own election rules.
Martin let a committee decide
The committee put it to a vote of all the members, the ones who had just elected Hogg, and they decided to redo the election.
Hogg decided to not run again despite every sign he would win. And instead said he was making a PAC
The DNC chair congratulated him almost immediately and called for the party to unite behind Mamdani:
“This is going to be a moment for the establishment, for a lot of the people who lined up behind Cuomo. It has to mean something to win the nomination,” she said.
"Democrats have spoken, they made a selection, and I would really, really hope that if he is facing headwinds from different directions, that the party would come together the same way I’ve seen the party come together over and over again when progressives need to say: ‘All right, let’s make sure that people turn out and vote for [someone] who wouldn’t have been our first choice.’”
So yes, Bernie and the DNC agree, it’s fucking weird.
If there is another PUMA movement, this time it won’t have the backing of the DNC
Edit:
The original quote is proceeded by this:
Rupert told NBC News that after years and years of progressive Democrats being told to unite around the nominee when the establishment’s choice wins a primary, she hopes the party will do the same now that the shoe is on the other foot. She was heartened to see Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin’s quick congratulations for Mamdani on Tuesday night.
Yet the article doesn’t seem to mention what Ken had said, just her reference to his congratulations to Mamdani.
It threw me off and I thought it was Martin’s quote following it
Resigning is the cowards way out…
It won’t take much goading for him to stay and fight a “heroe’s fight”. All these idiots really want is people to tell them they’re strong, at this point it would be unethical not to psychological manipulate them to fight each other
A cholecystectomy is removing a gall bladder…
So how crucial could a step be on the gall bladder after it was removed?
They’re not removing healthy ones for transplants, it’s something done on literal medical waste.
Finding a gall bladder during surgery seems far from an insurmountable task for AI.
It is incredibly difficult…
There is a shit ton of human variation, shits just crammed wherever and it all pretty much looks the same. We still beat AI by selecting traffic lights in a picture…
Analyzing a scan? Yeah, that’s AI all day.
Real life? A human will keep winning for decades.
The DNC getting things together!?
The biggest thing:
You may have seen articles about how two “union leaders” gave up on the party as well…
The thing is, they were both superdelegates who sat on the committee that have been influencing primaries to favor neoliberals, and one of them even tried to go against the primary results and give it to Hillary in 08.
Don’t expect the media to portray things accurately, it’s all owned by billionaires who would rather have a Republican than a progressive.
And this wasn’t a sudden overnight response to the 2024. The DNC is ~400 voting members who maybe get to vote for a chair every four years, if a Dem becomes president they name a chair.
That group of ~400 have been moving left for decades, it’s just that we finally reached the tipping point. We can’t afford to slip like with Obama, and if I went into why 08 didn’t fix the party this comment would be 10x as long
It’s assuming the Dem Party doesn’t sabotage their own candidates
The party is the DNC
The DNC is a dictatorship controlled by the chair
You don’t have to guess what kind of chair Ken Martin is, he was Minnesota’s chair for a decade and that track record stands for itself.
He’s already purging out old guard committee members, did a 180 on the flow of money between states and DNC, openly advocates for voters deciding the platform via fair primaries…
Like, not as a personal dog, but the overwhelming amount of people complaining about the DNC just aren’t up to date on what’s happening
We validated our framework through ex vivo experiments on cholecystectomy, a commonly practiced minimally invasive procedure, and conducted ablation studies to evaluate key components of the system.
I was going to say…
Even just properly identifying the gallbladder in a human body is incredibly impressive. But that’s not what happened.
Like, they performed a “crucial part” of a gallbladder removal operation on gallbladders that had already been removed from the human body?
Did it tie a bow on it and light a candle?
Like most shit about AI, it sounds super impressive if you don’t know what’s happening…
Alcatraz was a prison for criminals
Call this what it is:
Alligator Auschwitz
It’s a place for anyone based on immutable charetistics like ethnicity, and it’s naive to think that’s going to be the fascists only metric moving forward.
If we don’t defend them now. They won’t be here to defend us when we’re the ones they’re coming for.
Solidarity beats fascists, that’s why they crack down so hard on protests.
