I suppose if getting bombed by the US, no deal, and more oil exports from the US in history, means 'in control of the war'


Bombing them won’t open the strait of Hormuz which is what trump needs. It’s a classic asymmetrical warfare situation. It takes minimal command infrastructure to keep it closed. (Iran has already been decapitated) He very much wants to open it and they can demand anything they want.


Exports from the US is not a win. It’s like looting our piggybank to subsidize the deficit.


They can certainly endure it until November. Can Trump?


Prior to the temporary blockade cessation, oil execs were saying we could hit tank/operational bottoms in mid/late July. The reprieve has probably pushed that out a few weeks, but oil supply will vanish before November.


And Trump would badly lose the mid-term elections.


All tests should be in-person. This is an easy problem to solve.


You will probably need to just use another account. But that might not be possible.

I had my Amazon seller account banned for 15 years. I couldn't sign up for another one without it getting banned too. It was all because a scammer decided they wanted to give me negative feedback and keep the item I sold them (in addition to my refund).

No amount of talking or emailing ever got me to a person I could talk to. These companies should be fined/prosecuted for this. As a seller, there should be rules around getting banned and ways to appeal.


> These companies should be fined/prosecuted for this.

What exactly should they be fined or prosecuted for?


I mean... is it not obvious that in a he said she said scenario like this they have to simply side with the buyer? I struggle to understand your mentality, assuming that you have no way to prove (to Amazon or to a court or whatever) that their negative feedback was fraudulent.


Punk rock has always been right wing. Libraries are about as far from this as they can get.


Has always been anarchical, so in essence it's in opposition to any form of authority that's predominant at the time. It makes zero sense to call it left or right wing.


>Punk rock has always been right wing.

What???


The anti-authoritarian, anti-government, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist music genre punk rock? Always right wing?

I mean, Nazis have always been attracted to punk because they like the loud noise but are too stupid to understand lyrics, but they tend to get their shit kicked in by punks more often than not. I don't think that's the same thing.


Sure thing, i.e. Egor Letov


The Ramones were divided politically, if I remember rightly. One of them was on the moderate right.

In the UK, there was also the Rock against Communism movement which came out of the far right faction of punk and was a response to Rock against Racism.


I've seen a lot of confidently incorrect takes on this site, but "punk rock is right wing" may be the worst.


Some punk rock is. The idea that it is always on the left was not true, even in the early days.


There is a myth that punk has always been left wing. Most of it has been, but right wing punk has been there from the beginning and still is around.


The new hot thing, which is AI took it's place. Crowding out crypto.


How can deepseek 'lean center'? If you've ever asked it about real Chinese history, you know this isn't true.


"Talking to someone who reads 20–50 good books a year is nothing like talking to someone who hasn't read a book since school made them."

Most books are outdated, before they are released.

I read well over the amount text in 20-30 books from online content/non-books.

This idea is outdated and not a good indicator of someone who reads.

AI is just a tool. It's pretty obvious it's here to stay and if you don't start embracing it, you will be left behind.


> Most books are outdated, before they are released

What an odd thing to say.


Yawn. More rewriting of history to try to remove successful cultures.


For Gen Z, the new American Dream is for other people to make money and have the government take it and pay you to do nothing, in the form of UBI.


For Gen Z the new reality is for other people to make money off your every action, squeeze you for every cent, and not be willing to pay you enough to live on no matter how hard you’re willing to work — or even to employ you at all, in favor of robots and agents. Getting worse every month.

The hope is that the government will tax the absurdly wealthy extractors and offer a UBI so that everyone else won’t have to starve in the streets or bring out the guillotines.


Developers gave their code out for free, but want to discriminate against people they don't like from using it in ways they dislike.

The 'spirit of free software' is bullshit. It's software authoritarianism disguised as a noble cause.


Even so, what's wrong with this? They told you up front that they're going to discriminate. Students can use the code freely, businesses may struggle. People don't need to be fair.


Don't use it.
