It's almost extinct because those with that particular "backbone" keep dying off to curable diseases.

Though I'm more mad about those they'll take with them as they act as a vector for what were damn near extinct diseases to make a comeback

They won't care that Trump hasn't done anything to fix the price of eggs, because they're too busy being reeled along by whatever the next thing is that right-wing media is telling them to be angry about.

It's the Archer method of drinking, but for societal awareness - keep the people fighting over pointless stuff and they'll never have time to reflect on the things they should be angry about.

Exactly. If anyone thinks Russia will stop at Ukraine, they're a fool

I wouldn't say it's just more important, I'd say it's a moral imperative to support Ukraine's fight for it's sovereign land over keeping buddy-buddy with a government running rampant with corruption and Russian puppetry

Terrorism, according to the United Nations General Assembly:

Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.

Luigi certainly didn't bring the public into a state of terror, if anything quite the opposite - so I suppose the real question is do we class Health Insurance Executives politically as a group of people to incite terror onto?

I'd argue that a group of people who would happily sign away someone's life if it meant them getting richer don't deserve that kind of recognition, but I'd bet the courts will say yes because their rich friends want an example made of him.

So not only was this multi-billion dollar, fortune 100 company too stingy to pay for training data, it was too stingy to reseed the data it pirated!

Either seed or don't torrent. Don't be a leech.

Even if I were being charitable to say what he meant was not being famous is easier, it's still such a backhanded remark to make - I'd rather deal with the problems of fame than the looming threat of the poverty line any day of the week.

It's the tried and tested Elon Musk method of performance evaluation. Fire all the workers, then be shocked when they don't want their old job back for a lower wage and worse contract terms

Trump Derangement Syndrome... Otherwise known as being rightfully angry/shocked/horrified at the things Trump has been allowed to get away with doing and keep doing - things that would've landed the average person in jail for multiple lifetimes.

I mean for fuck's sake guy literally embezzled a charity, yet we're crazy for thinking he's a morally bankrupt person?

Figures that it's basically a population map. The hospitals that serve the most people will suffer the worst cuts to their research budgets.

Wonder how the Whitehouse plans to "reinvest" these savings. My bet is on more tax cuts for the rich.

Well done to DOGE for absolutely tearing up the place scrounging up the US Government's metaphorical pennies, whilst ignoring actual budget inefficiencies, such as the infamously overzealous military budget

That's usually the time my brain decides to conveniently forget that info so I can look like a dumbass, only to remember when the conversation has already moved on
