This is why you can’t have rational conversations with Americans.

Compared to the Cybertruck’s design, I don’t think having a LIDAR antenna on top of the car is so bad.

“LIDAR is so lame! Who needs to be able to accurately map their surroundings, when our cars can get confused by a shadow passing across one of their lenses, just like humans do? It’s so much more efficient to be blinded by fog, or low light conditions.”

If this is meant to be used in space, wouldn’t it just blow you backwards?

“Master Negotiator” right there, folks! Gaze upon the Art of the Deal, and weep tears of inadequacy.

But I thought they just made it illegal to regulate AI? Oh, wait…that was just for the states. Fuck those guys.

The tobacco lobby says boosting taxes on its products will just encourage black market sales and cut national revenue – undermining any attempt to funnel revenue into the bloc’s next long-term budget.

So…they’re straight up admitting that they’re just going to start selling their product under the table, if this passes?

How does anyone consider him a “genius”? This guy is just so stupid.

Burn it all to the ground, kids.

It really seems like he doesn’t understand what a “defense alliance” is meant to accomplish.

Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.

Can we just not?

Who is still lending Russia money?

A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.

Orbital habitats with rotational gravity.

Don’t forget that it’d be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel so far distance before it disappears.

They already signed that contract. This is just Israel attacking them anyway.

This explains it in better detail than I could. It isn’t so much a single law, but rather a lot of different laws that all work together to ensure that Israel is given everything it could possibly need for its own defense…even bypassing normal regulatory measures in the process, as long as certain conditions are maintained.

Israel has invested tens of millions of dollars lobbying for, and helping to write, the legislation that guarantees their continuous access to weapons. A lot of it is written directly into defense spending bills that are essential for domestic defense spending as well. So, without a massive shift in policy at the legislative level to disentangle those priorities, that support is legally binding.

The US is obligated by law, to keep sending them weapons in order to maintain a “qualitative military edge” against all potential threats. This unfortunately incentivizes Israel to maintain a high threat level, in order to increase the amount of weapons it receives.

Wow. That’s sad. I feel bad for Germany.
