Do we have insurance for that?

Okay, that explains Trump, but Biden?

The question would more likely be, why is it too late to have a different candidate run against Trump?

We stayed up to watch it here across the pond, made it to 10 minutes.

Seriously, WTF is going on over there? How are these two people the top candidates to represent 380 million people?

The socialist left of Europe wants a UBI, forced dismantlement of megacorps in favour of cooperatives, harsh wealth taxes on net worth, separation of investment and commercial banking and so on. In comparison, Bernie wants a functional public healthcare system, and US oligarchs to pay at least some taxes.

The problem is that it kneecaps the experience for people who newly join, because they get faced with an unopposed blender of fascist propaganda, and may be immediately turned off the whole platform.

It is complicated, because the largest green energy manufacturer on the planet also has the largest CO2 emissions on the planet by far, three times that of the US - one could bring up the fact that they also have a lot of people, but how much of China’s emissions are driven by export vs domestic consumption?

Also, the shenanigans Russia pulled with Germany has the collective West wary of becoming dependent on a hostile authoritarian country for any staple import.

I’m not saying Biden’s perfect, far from it, but a strategy of “let’s go chummy with this big authoritarian country, they can’t attack us if our economies become codependent” has been tried here in the EU, and the results so far are hundreds of thousands dead and a nearly crashed economy.

In either case, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.

Some people have it as their only choice due to living in a food desert. Imagine how fucked up is that.

So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.

That’s my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don’t trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it’s good.

That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

IIRC they plan to have ultra-ortho only battalions so they can keep doing their ultra-ortho shit while fighting.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

I do like Mull, but I’m also uninformed and I don’t use my mobile browser all too much.

Ammunition for artillery that they don’t use by doctrine.

They have a ton of eg. plane ammo, but they don’t give planes to Ukraine.

Oh, they do, they already exempted themselves and the police.

Are they independent from the cancerous management though?
