I mean, Churchill was a massive racist. The famine in India killed approx. 2.1 million people.

But Zedong's policies led to a famine that killed approx. 36 million peoole, literally 10-15 times worse. It's nice that he grew his own veggies I guess but fuck me that's an insane failure of policy. If you managed to fuck up so bad you end up killing 36 million, I think it's fair to say you deserved the title of monster.

Proton edited and deleted some of their responses because it made them look even worse. You can find one here: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Complete delusion believing Trump will "stand up for the little guy". The GOP is the party that gutted net neutrality after all. They had the Chevron doctrime overturned. The Thiel-Musk funded party standing up for "little tech"? Please.

The CEO tried to spin it off as "missing context" but the responses show he's either completely delusional, has been comatose for the past two decades or is just pro-Trump. I can't look inside his head, but his tacit endorsement of the party actively dismantling US democracy is not something that can really "lack context".

Proton, the company, has donated to liberal parties. The CEO seems to be a bit more of the "libertarian" type, that doesn't seem to mind everything the GOP did in the past years.

Using open datasets means using data people have made available publicly, for free, for any purpose. So using an AI based on that seems considerably more ethical.

Currencies going up in value tends to not be great for an economy, as people will save instead of spend. It stops being a currency and becomes somewhat of an asset. A slowly depreciating currency tends to foster the most economic growth.

Wouldn't wanna miss "Nazi gets kicked in the balls and cries" tbh.

I actually think this form factor makes more sense than a two-fold. With two-folds you get this weird not-quite-square aspect ratio, but this gives you something much closer to a very typical 16:9. Perfect for watching movies or streaming games.

I do want a proper android device though, which Huawei can't provide anymore unfortunately. But I hope other manufacturers try their hand at this form factor. Still, massive props to Huawei on the design and engineering feat, it's genuinely the first phone I've seen in years that made me reconsider what I want in a phone.

And no, obviously a tri-fold isn't necessary, but neither are smartphones in general. Took me years to decide to purchase one and I was fine without one (started with a year-old Samsung S7, for reference).

In Mario Kart it's faster. You get them lil' sparks on your wheels.

Imagine coming home to find your family was burnt to a crisp and your house and belongings torched by a foreign nation's military.

Do you expect this person to shrug it off and say "ah just collateral damage" or do you become vulnerable to propaganda from a group that says "I told you so, they're evil and must be destroyed"?

When we watched Luke Skywalker take up arms and join an armed rebellion against the evil empire after they murdered his family, we all cheered. But when the perpetrator doesn't look like a comicbook villain, things are suddenly less clear.

Point it, Hamas can't be defeated like this. Every bombing of a civilian home creates more Hamas terrorists. When left no choice, people will choose violence. And to them it seems clear that Israel gives them no choice. From the safety of our homes we can see that Hamas is not worthy of any praise and that their actions are deeply reprehensible. But they live amongst the rubble caused by Israeli bombs; they won't see it that way.

This is a violent path that can only lead to genocide, which must be prevented. If we truly want there to be peace, both sides must concede things. Otherwise Hamas or its successor will just come back.

The problem is the aging population.

"Narcissist" is not a slur. Additionally, he's calling you out for your bad behaviour and online harassment, not "because you have NPD".

If you have a mental disorder that prevents you from behaving nicely online, it may be wiser not to comment. Because people won't see your NPD as an excuse, but as a justification showing that you do demonstrate bad behaviour and therefore are prone to breaking the (social) rules. Ergo justifying the ban.

That would be exactly my choice. One terrorist is not worth blowing up children over. Wait for a better opportunity that doesn't definitely have collateral damage. A terrorist does not "win" if he lives a bit longer. Nobody is "winning" anything in Gaza anyways right now.

Besides, blowing up children is a win for the terrorists.

The bullwhip effect refers to perceived demand, not actual demand. And if perceived demand is larger, suppliers would act to increase supply, which suppresses inflation, not causes it.

Instead we saw supply shortages well before any stimulus checks were passed, and we saw further supply shortages after demand for oil for example absolutely cratered. The impact of this on various supply chains is still being felt everywhere.

It's also dead-simple to prove that demand hasn't suddenly spiked due to stimulus checks, because if you look at a graph of US household savings, you'll notice those jump up at a couple points, and those jumps happen to be roughly equal to the size of the total stimulus package. Which very strongly suggests Americans used the stimulus checks to pay off built up debts and to put the rest into savings. These graphs are available online, feel free to Google it.

Furthermore, inflation was at its peak well after the stimulus checks had ended. This was due to a normalization of demand to pre-covid levels, whereas supply still needs time to go to those levels.
