Apart from the comments being insane, I just want to mention that most countries outside the US had their exports grow in general, but the exports to the US fall.

Point is, the world is fine without the US.

The PC-12 is a turboprop, not a jet, though.

It's a leech hauler alright, but not a jet.

Only a handful of countries manage to produce more stuff per hour of work.

Only a handful of countries manage to produce more money per hour of work.

That's an important distinction IMO.

Unsurprisingly, the site has nothing on who owns it either

I guess the idea is that humanoid robots ideally require no adjustment to the factory, they can just use the tools made for human workers.

The point being made is that the big corps advertising have an exceedingly hard time measuring whether ad buys resulted in sales, and especially which ad buys resulted in sales.

Buyers don't see that it isn't worth it, they can only guess.

On the other hand, Hungary banned Pride, installed face recognition cameras, threatened everyone with fines and the organisers with prison.

It became the biggest mass event ever. Literally there has never been any civil event that was bigger than that. 5% of the population was there, in one place, in the capital.

The police tried at one point to prevent passge or control the crowd, but they were so overwhelmed that they just got ignored. So were the right wing counterprotests.

Then the government started to try and fine at least the organisers, but people went up and started reporting themselves en masse, saying they were organisers since they asked friends to come.

Nobody got punished, those in power were humiliated, people realised they have power.

If the home of democratic backslide and illiberal "democracy" can do it, so can you.

You could be more supportive. Men have issues specifically hurting them too, and not dismissing that fact won't make women's issues less relevant.

Could we just be more supportive to each other?

Couldn't we buy from Taiwan? Or better yet, build our own devices with Taiwanese processors. It's much harder to spy if the supplied components are simpler and the device is opaque to them but transparent to us.

It just came out recently that wealthy Americans and Russians came to the Balkans during the Yugoslav war to hunt and kill civilians for fun.

I'm feeling we'll end up going over it whether we row or not.

When the USSR came to Hungary, they literally exhausted the syphilis medicine supply of the country for two years with the amount of rape, and the country has had collective PTSD from it for generations.

I'm sure others can bring up other countries, I'm more familiar and am more in touch with the culture of specifically Hungary. It is widely researched and not debated actually that it was so bad, suicides and misogyny spiked in the aftermath, as the people who couldn't defend their loved ones from often repeated often gang rape either committed suicide, or just internalised that "rape is not so bad" to cope.

600 thousand people were also kidnapped (from a country of less than 10 million) and forced into labour camps for decades, with a third never coming home. This also specifically targeted the local German-Hungarian population (which had nothing to do with Germany, it was a diaspora dating back long into medieval times), so it can also qualify as genocide.

There were also examples of brutal torture, keeping people in cells small enough they couldn't even sit down, and so on. Had nothing to do with communism, some of the direst things were actually done against communists who wanted to be free from Soviet occupation. It was pure Russian imperialism.

And truth be told, we got off easy compared to some other countries.

And finally, colonialism being "western" in an inherently racist way to view the world. East Asian empires also had colonies, so did most empires around the world.
