sounds like another attempt at distracting from Ukraine.

Ukraine will win if "the west" supports it. It could have done so easily if Nato mobilized it's industry.

Russia will not attack Gotland, Sweden is in nato, I'd be signing a death treaty, but it will larp and parade to distract from Ukraine as hard as it can.

AI is hyped, so overly hyped. Just look how NFT shit jumped over to AI.

it can't do half of what they're promising. it's just tricking investors (not a bad thing) and the populance at this point (a bad thing)

Heads up, neoliberal (which is what is meant in the phrase scratch a liberal and a facist bleeds) is not the same as a liberal.

Usually just saying Liberal means Neoliberal - but for situations like this the difference helps

Not to mention shooting your own civilians. experts warning - it's a genocide

oh yea, and blocking any sort of food aid into Gaza, great PR move...

it's crazy but most mainstream medias have a clear bias against it.

Hell, even when the UN special rapport raised flags of "lickely genocide" there was barely any coverage. and if they're not citing this, then it's just "the war in gaza"

Crazy how US support for Israel is still "ironclad" (cnn) - they bombed an embassy, the response is a barrage that according to Israel did no harm.

the only way this breaks out in a large scale war is by Israel using this as an excuse to escalate.

I frankly don't think it will escalate, but crazy empovered people do crazy empowered people stuff sooo.....

Yes, capitalisms sucks, the article can even tell you why.
there are companies that are selling at prices that nobody else can match, selling at a loss to strangle the competition. Not an uncommon practice, you just have to be rich to do it.

they usually kill the competition, then jack up prices massivly to "earn back" their loss.

piracy is a service problem~

also of note, they never account for the fact that piracy increases sales in some aspects, without piracy - anime = small.
buying physical books when they come on sale for a series you read online? yes, I have a nice collection.
Merch, and so forth.

Piracy isn't just internet sites that you stream shit on. Piracy is DVDs you bought or copied from a friend.

your premise bases itself on a very small timeframe.

(I also have no clue about software piracy getting harder - videogames you mean?)

If gun rights were actually about that then the black panthers wouldn't have been surpressed and banned

there is nothing in Yuzu that Nintendo has copyright to. Emulators are also precedentially legal.

so yes, how dare they want "their" copyrighted material not "stolen"....

That's a downside - imagine an AI that can't draw trying to differenciate between a friend of foe. it just shoots everyone and their cat

but the bible isn't copyrighted? right? Is there any other aspect than just the economic abuse of religions trump fans?

so, sorry about wall of text, but nothing is a black and white in reality like that perspective on the marked. Love the hermit life tho! would join - currently living in a collective in a city myself.

So the economic problem of landlords is that they accumulate whealth - that they use to purchase up new housing before it's buildt - this also ensures that the housing prices goes up; and as a requirement for return on investment - the rent goes up, even if you're just renting the shitty apartment they've had for years.

building housing is a solution yes, but it's obstructed by a lot (depending on your state/country) Like safety regulations; that usually are there to protect the inhabitants and the workers building it.

there is also the construction sectors economic motivations. There are no financial motivations to finish a project (usually), and instead the motive to actually finish the job would be on ensuring that you get new contracts. As long as the marked is that way for construction firms it will ensure that they take longer to build it, thereby increasing their profits, and actually have a job (as they are in essense work for hire)

and the stock marked: (forgive me, details lacking here as my knowledge is unuanced and especially lacking in the stock marked field.)
the stock marked is tied to housing, construction firms, and land. And as the stock marked wants a line to go up as they also take out dividends off that, they invest money into it with the assumption that it will be profitable - this not only ensures that housing will get more expensive; but with the amounts of money invested the government also has a incentive to keep that housing marked expensive; as a crash would ruin the finances of not only quite a few individuals i would also ruing investment firms - and the companies that they invested in. Ie a housing marked collapse, like has happened in several countries the past few decades.

this is not an exhaustive list, but at least adds a few more reasons to housing expensive beyond they don't build enough.

and yes, renting is in concept not a bad thing, but in reality the renter ends up with the risk of the owner not actually holding the house up to code. At least in my country - the only time the house is checked is when it's sold; then there isn't the incentive to actually keep the house in good shape; instead the incentive is to get cheap black marked labour to make it rentable to as many people as possible with using the least amount of money. which usually introduces risk most people would never accept in their own homes. like electrical fires (at least in my own experiences.)

(for note, I live in norway, so it's not going to perfectly apply to all countries - though it should be somewhat similar)

Guess the US caught up to France... somehow I'd be even more scared of the world if they take up the french nuclear doctrine as well

It's a bit misleading to use 2023 GDP with 2015 PPP, not to mention this doesn't include Ukrainian aid

I mean yes, let's boost our defence spending, but also Luxembourg using 2% is just silly considering their circumstances

lol, there actually was a few, but that is back in ye old days. 1968 - Otto Hans. 1972 - Mutsu. 1988 - Sevmorput (only one still running - but planned decomission is apparently in 2024)
