the European Commission is increasingly focusing on ‘winning the global AI race’

How can so many people be so gullible? The only thing winning this race will get you is a wrecked environment and economy. There is literally no upside to this and it’s obvious to anyone who can think about anything other than the size of their bank account.

Heh, when Trump sees this, some UberEats driver in DC is gonna get a 2:00 AM order to bring 10,000 Big Macs to the Strait of Hormuz.

Key phrase: “none of them have thought”

This is standard for American conservatives and makes the whole hypothesis believable. They don’t think, they just go along with what conservative media tells them.

As has been said, an army marches on its stomach. Imagine being fed this on deployment while knowing that your commander-in-chief was a draft dodger who now lives in luxury and has every delicacy known to man available at his slightest whim.

Data shows 85% of those infected in the state have been not vaccinated against measles as dozens are hospitalized

The data also therefore shows that 15% of those infected were vaccinated. That means that these anti-vaxxer twats are causing responsible people to catch dangerous diseases that they would have otherwise been shielded from by herd immunity. People who refuse to be vaccinated should be banned from public spaces like planes, trains, busses, etc.

They should also be banned from businesses and other public venues unless those venues specifically and publicly advertise that they are open to the unvaccinated. That was the rest of us can avoid going to places where we may be exposed to pathogens that could overwhelm out vaccine derived resistance.

Moriarty said the charging decision in this case was more straightforward because the Minnesota State Patrol was able to conduct a complete investigation of the incident and submit a case file.

“This is the only case that we actually know what the federal officers say,” Moriarty said. “We have their statement. We have video. The difference is that it came to us just like any other case would have.”

That includes having access to the agent’s name, witness statements from the motorists and cellphone footage and surveillance camera footage that showed several elements of what took place.

You can be sure that this is the last time we have all that information. ICE/Homeland are being even more careful now to make sure local and state agencies are blocked out of everything to keep them from being able to make cases. In fact, I bet ICE/Homeland refuse to provide a location on this guy. He’ll probably live out the rest of his life as an underground here in red states that will refuse to arrest or extradite him.

The Pentagon already threatened it mafia-style.

“In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture,” said Hale.

“America has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world,” Colby and his associates informed the cardinal. “The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

As the room temperature grew, Hale said he confirmed that one U.S. official “reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.”

During the period in question, there were two Popes. One in the Vatican, and one in Avignon. I’m fairly certain that if the Vatican doesn’t bend to Trump’s will, there will soon be a Church of America with it’s own Pope.

Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those, those innocent people, you know, those who had survived the Holocaust?

What a silly question. It’s silly because it’s based on the idea that God is a being who would pick sides in the first place. It is generally commonly thought by believers that we are all God’s children. When your children get in a fight do you pick sides and cheer for one of them to kick the other’s ass? I would hope not. I would hope that, as a parent, you would step in and try and stop the fight.

Assuming there is a God, I would hope he/she/it would just be terribly disappointed in all the children involved for not finding a way to settle their differences peacefully.

No, this is just the usual global uber wealthy interfering in international politics so that they can increase their wealth and gain absolute power over the peons.

Don’t let perfect get in the way of good. It this had been in effect, we would never have had Gee Dubya and Trump as presidents.

I think we’re hovering around The Running Man, with a game show host running things and using blood sports to keep the masses distracted; but we are certainly working hard to get to Soylent Green. Once we finish destroying the environment, agriculture fails, and we have to turn cannibal to survive.

“Secretary Hegseth, along with millions of Americans, is a proud Christian,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson previously told The Independent.

Isn’t pride a sin? Isn’t it, in fact, one of the big seven?

Oh, good point. I didn’t think to mention that. Thanks!

Yep, leave the cat carrier out where they they can get to it any time they want, maybe under a coffee table or something, just leave the door open. Toss some treats and/or toys in once in a while and eventually they will treat it just like any other box. If they are already stressed about the carrier, leave it out and then them feed them near it. Again, make sure the door is always open. Every day put the dish a little closer to the open door. Eventually put the food dish just inside the door so they can eat without actually going in. Then put it further in every day until they are going in the crate to eat. That has eventually worked with every cat I’ve tried it on.

Our current cats all love the carriers. I took some of my cats to the vet this week. When I got back home, I opened the door to let them out and one of them ran out of the carrier he was in and right into one of the others that had just been vacated by another cat.

So close, except that it’s Trump who has created his own private police force comprised of unemployed men and is trying to stay president for life.

Every conservative accusation really is a confession.

I miss Costco. We moved to a rural part of the US a few years ago and the nearest Costco is now 2.5 hours away. Really hard to justify a 5 hour round trip to shop there. Luckily they do sell a lot of their stuff online but it’s not the same without the browsing and the slice of pizza at the end.

OP’s headline does not match the article linked in any way. I don’t know if the site changed the article or what, but the Grand Jury has not ordered Reddit to turn over any data.

a subpoena issued by federal prosecutors to the management of Reddit, representatives of the site have been ordered to appear before a grand jury in Washington D.C., with an April 14 deadline set in an attempt to compel Reddit to volunteer personal data and the identity of a user who had the temerity to lightly criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the platform.

Essentially, they have ordered Reddit to send representatives to be badgered into volunteering the user’s information.

Based on the number of people still using the cesspit that Twitter turned into, Reddit has to sink a hell of a lot lower to get people to stop using it.

Free Aunt Tifa!

Take him home. His current owners are idiots since they let him run across the street to visit you. If you don’t, you may very well have the misfortune of finding him dead in the road one day.
