I mean, the people did vote for her… if someone is gonna have to be the puppet/figurehead it should still be her, not the previous administration.

It can’t be revoked or transferred, he just has the physical token. He’s an idiot.

If he wants something shiny, and it has a chance of protecting even one Venezuelan family from senseless tantrums, might as well hand it over. It’s not exactly a bold move but it is a peaceful one, and it might help.

I theorize he is trying to get into heaven (???) and he might believe that the only thing that could cancel out all his sins is to become the Nobel Peace Prize winner (???) through violence (???)

None of this makes any sense if you don’t have severe dementia.

I feel like her sacrificial decision to give him this (ultimately meaningless) symbolic token in exchange for the potential of peace for her country is showing why she deserved the Peace Prize in the first place. If handing it over makes Trump chill the hell out about working with Venezuela’s succession, it will have been worth it.

(This situation is obviously batshit insane and it’s pathetic that he’s extorting her, but at least she’s trying to use all her resources available to manipulate this mad king and sue for peace - if this Nobel Prize was driving his hatred, it’s best to sacrifice it I guess. Especially since the actual honor is non-transferrable LMAO)

I’m already from Michigan, so I feel right at home in the cold north :) 🍁

This is real! I’m one of these people and my family is working on assembling the documentation!

Dude was paid by the word and it shows. On the bright side, the book is excellent- it’s just a bit padded. I feel like it’s one of the few books where I feel like an abridged version might be an improvement.

Good pick, IMO

I’m sure they’ll get around to it in six, maybe seven years.

Which Lemmy instance? It’s federated and each server is different. It’s like asking “what will be the top post on the forum” or “what’ll be pinned on Discord”.

Hey buddy, they admitted they didn’t know what the star even was.

it turns out if you are all able to stop work at once (and discourage scabs from crossing your picket line) you have power, whether or not you’re an employee on paper.

You can assign each rational number a single unique integer though if you use a simple algorithm. So the 1:1 correspondence holds up (though both are still infinite)

For every integer, there are an infinite number of real numbers until the next integer. So you can’t make a 1:1 correspondence. They’re both infinite, but this shows that the reals are more infinite. (and yeah, as other people mentioned, it’s the 1:1 correspondence, countability, that matters more than the infinite quantity of the Real numbers)

I think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

The dude really wants to buy his way into heaven with a last-minute, utterly unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

To me it looks like the Epstein scandal gives her a plausible way to transition to a presidential bid for 2028.

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It’s a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn’t ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.
