Only Trump will know which company gets to insider trade ahead of public announcements for new facility construction. It’s all a con, and drug prices will surge as tariffs get passed down to us Americans with empty wallets.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers will drop coverage for essential life-saving medications they currently guarantee, while non-critical drugs will begin vanishing from coverage lists across the board.

God help anyone without insurance. It’s a complete disaster, and Trump’s already raking in billions a month off the American people. Another day another grift.

Nice mix of links, always up for more independent global perspectives.

Iran media has already refuted the claims. How many times does Trump think we are to believe his lies, this moron doesn’t have a plan except keep the markets from tanking.

Friday’s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards. At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire. At 12:31 he said everything was perfect. At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing. At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz. At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed. At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran. At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran.

By 3:43 PM he told CBS he doesn’t want a ceasefire. By 5:13 PM - 13 minutes after futures markets closed for the weekend, in a coincidence that should be studied in every securities fraud textbook - he posted on Truth Social that the US is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts”. The S&P reversed more than 1% in seconds. QQQ had already surged 1.1% in the 80 minutes before the announcement, with call options flowing in at a pace that suggests someone, somewhere, had an itinerary.

Perhaps look up Uncanny Valley. It is similar in ways to what you are describing.

Is this the font? Looks great if it is a body style, I wonder what would compliment it as a header.

I don’t think you’re overreacting given that a white male was just shot, as a protester, in cold blood just minutes ago.

Throw the old octogenarian a bone, anyone can casually mix up the word war with peace, its not like brain addled peepaw has been demanding the noble war prize lately, it’s simply not his word du jour at the moment.

You have a point for sure, although Lemmy’s user base is around 45000 or slightly more vs 500,000,000 to Reddits. That’s like 0.009% of Reddit’s user base.

Maybe try using a redlib instance if you need to check out reddit. Personally, I wouldn’t sign in knowing I’m about to freely train that lifeless humming shell of a parasitic LLM incubator.

It kind of reminds me of a time when there was a measles outbreak in Samoa. Only 80 were killed back in 2019 but hey, something something brown people.

Wasn’t it been controlled by a person in the audience? We need a “RoboCop” style demonstration for us to know what autonomous looks like.

I never thought we’d get to a place where handing over five years of your social media would feel like the least invasive part of entering the United States as a tourist, but here we are.

The Department of Homeland Security is proposing new rules for people using the ESTA system. These are visitors from places like the EU, the UK, Australia, Japan, and the rest of the Visa Waiver countries. People who currently don’t need a visa. And the list of what they’ll be required to hand over reads like something ripped from a security state fever dream.

Tourists would need to turn in: • Every social media account from the last five years • Full biometrics: face, fingerprints, iris scan, and yes, DNA • All phone numbers from the last five years • All email addresses from the last ten • IP addresses and metadata from any photos they submit • Names of immediate family members • Family members’ phone numbers from the last five years • Their dates and places of birth • Where they live • All business phone numbers from the last five years • All business emails from the last ten

And that’s just to come here on vacation. If you’re someone who actually needs a visa, I’d brace for something even more extreme.

This isn’t rumor or speculation. It’s right there in DHS documentation.

Thanks and yes I’m comfortable with English as my first language. I was trying to post my comment with respect for OP. A QWERTY keyboard has the U and I together, my phone keyboard sucks for sure.

Hey just a heads up, you added an extra “to become” in your title. Anyway great question, I’ve always wondered this, hopefully someone knows better.

Perhaps the growth of everyone placing files on clouds these days may be contribute to its inpopularity, or simply because the name just got lumped together with copyright infringement.

Interesting, I’m also feeling a bit disenfranchised. Why all the downvotes on this post? Wait, let’s check who these evil downvoters are… Yeah case in point, I see the problem here as this could lead to malicious trolling and the start of an undesirable platform.

Edit: lemvotes throws a 404 not found so did the fediverse dodge a bullet?

Absolutely, one of the best organ grooves in my opinion came from Jon Lord’s Hammond C3 organ on “Lazy”, specifically from the album Made in Japan. Boomer gold!

Not sure why the downvotes but Wikipedia says you are right.

“Cwtch is a Welsh word that means a cuddle or embrace, often associated with feelings of warmth and safety. It can also refer to a small space or cubbyhole for storing things safely.”
