If anyone in the Trump administration had a brain they would already realize that they have nothing to offer internationally. It’s not exactly a secret.

Trump thinks that if he puts a tariff on imports from, say China, suddenly a bunch of factories will open up in America outputting the same cheap tat that China used to produce. But of course it doesn’t work like that. Attempting to take resources by force won’t help matters because America’s problem is not actually a lack of resources. It’s a lack of infrastructure and a talent pool so shallow that the ground is barely wet.

We’ve seen this with the chip factories that TSMC is trying to set up.

Really?

When Canadians were going on about boycotting American things there was a question on here, or Reddit I can’t remember which, that was asking other people from other countries if they would do the same.

I remember thinking I can’t think of a single American product that’s even available for purchase for me to boycott. Other than quite possibly Jack Daniels but I already don’t buy that anyway.

I cannot think of any food items, clothing, tech products, or materials that originate in the USA that I would normally buy even semi-regularly.

The US has a really serious problem on their hands which is that their trade war won’t achieve anything. The US doesn’t make anything, it famously doesn’t make anything, the only reason that they trade with Canada is because Canada is close. Even then it’s mostly just food stuffs which Canada can make themselves.

But they have virtually nothing to offer internationally hence the trade deficit, that trump is so upset about, in the first place

I only have one data point because I’ve only ever personally met one millionaire, and he definitely wasn’t the type for introspection.

I think he had three wives as well, none of them he was currently married to. He cheated on a second wife with his secretary who became his third fir a bit. It must be something to do with the money, at a certain point you just think you can do whatever you want and alienate everyone around you. He was certainly a prick.

Its not like with Trump where his kids are actually problems themselves. I suspect that some of the younger ones will probably want to disown him too, especially the ones that he’s called stupid names.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting that you don’t take a phone. Just not taking your everyday phone.

A protest only really works if it’s covered by the media, you definitely don’t want the people you’re protesting about to decide if it is or isn’t covered by the media so you record it yourself.

It’s more of an issue just not thinking about things.

You have to be especially naive to believe that banning something would mean it doesn’t happen anymore. All sorts of crimes are committed every day, and by definition it is not legal to commit those crimes, but people still do it.

your method of expressing your opinion and the content of your argument are entirely unconstructive, utterly pointless, and, above all, disrespectful

That could be applied to so many random Twitter complaints. Just generally whiny, and completely lacking in any kind of understanding of how the process, in this case game development, works. Nevertheless they are confident in announcing their opinion to the universe. As if anyone cared

Even without all of that you are better off getting the Prius. It means you don’t have to deal with the utter nightmare that is Tesla customer support, It’s always worth thinking about what happens when something inevitably goes wrong.

Plus of course you can always take the Prius to a generic mechanic. But they never have pants for Tesla’s I don’t think Tesla let them out. They are like Apple in that respect.

In this case real means not emotionally stunted.

Plus of course if you don’t put on stupid amounts of muscle you retain the ability to scratch your own nose. Seriously some of the guys at the gym, watching them try their names is a site to behold. The ideal body shape is not the Hulk

Well we’ve been actively excluding you from this incredibly exciting conversation about electric motors.

I’m still holding out hope that that the long play. The trouble is the studio haven’t exactly shown themselves to be smart when it comes to Star Trek lately.

Okay I read that Wikipedia article and I absolutely no idea what point you’re trying to make.

You’re going to have the war last year? That’s certainly ambitious.

I would skip to when they start telling you about the side effects. So hot.

Well at least it’s not going to the federal government so it should be somewhat safe

What accent was that supposed to be?

Possibly, although I seen no evidence that that is an inevitability. But even if it becomes reality we can change our association with AI then I don’t see any reason to do anything right now.

I have yet to see any evidence that we are in any way progressing towards that world.

That’s not the fear Bond fans have about Amazon having the franchise. The fear is they are going to make it cramp.

Just get whoever it was that wrote the script for Kingsman to do the script for this. They know what James bond is about, goofy stupid stuff
