Throwing a pitty party isn't doing them any favours either.
IMO, most people have a personal choice to make when their lies and BS have been publicly exposed: you either "put your big boy pants on" and start dealing with your inner shadow. Or you double down on your BS and slide even further down the rabbit hole of endless human BS, losing yourself in the process.
You can try to save monsters. But you can't be surprised when they bite you.
I'm not wishing anything, just stating the obvious. And if anything, Trump has made it much much more likely that other countries will use force to fulfill their perceived interests. You'd have to be asleep not to realize it.
People all over the world will be celebrating! I also can't wait till that orange c**t drops dead - the parties will be awesome. And the tears of the maga shitheads over the death of their cult leader will be sweet.
I'll tell you what I told the other guy because you clearly didn't read the article carefully, as is obvious from your comment.
Actually, I'll word it a bit differently: based on the description of the image, show me beyond a reasonable doubt that there was ongoing "phone use", as you just claimed. Those are your words, its what you just claimed, so you should have absolutely no issue explaining to me. Right?
Well, that is unless you go back and reread the article and realize that you won't be able to. Not in a reasonable, legally sound manner anyway.
You need to go back and read the article because you obviously don't understand what actually happened.
I mean, holy hell batman, people are actually losing their ability to read and comprehend what they just read and then go on weird tyrades while totally misrepresenting the substance of the article because they were too lazy to read more than every 50th word.
This is fucking scary guys. Get a fucking grip. It's not that long and the language used is not that complex. Adults should be able to read and comprehend this short basic article, for fucks sake.
Calm down, Pol Pot. Before dehumizing everyone else and declaring yourself the guardian of all truth, consider this: admitting you made a basic mistake instead of going on an infantile tyrade about how people don't deserve rights will go a long way for you personally. Do it for yourself, not for something or someone else.
Thank me later. Or don't. Just as long as you try. There is no shame in making a mistake. Even less so in admitting it and apologising (quite the opposite actually). But there is a lot of shame in knowingly doubling down. It's clear what happened. Just own up to it. With time, you will discover it's almost like a super power. Your anxiety levels are also bound to go down.
Now go have a cold one and try and contemplate on the message without spewing vitriol toward the messengers.
From the way the image is described, there is no obvious reason to think the driver was distracted or otherwise impaired while driving. Moreover, the decision as to whether the driver was distracted by a phone wasn't made by a law enforcement official. We most definitely don't want to make this out to be "normal".
Did you even read the article? Even the title gives some of this away....
While I agree with your overall sentiment, I also think that calling the article "useless and stupid" kind of ignores that the author explicitly states in the very first sentence that they can only present the perpesective of a long-time exclusive Linux user. Undoubtedly, had the author been a longtime user of both Linux and Windows, as is your case, then surely they would have had a different experience and conslusions all together.
I'm not saying the author isn't biased in favour of Linux - all I am saying is that they seem to be pretty upfront about it from the very get go. Had they pretended to supposedly be writing an objective, scientifically valid comparison, then I would concede there is an element of stupidity. But that's not the case - they're pretty transparent as to who they are and what perspective they are describing their experience from.
Tldr: arguably its more like some sort of guilty-pleasure entertainment for Linux users rather than "stupid"
Can't possibly imagine why Israel would make this whole thing up. I mean, what possible reason could there be for them to lie about something like that. It just doesn't make sense.
Not to worry, the government party will bail them out will taxpayer money if push comes to shove.
Seems like a perfectly good case of capitalism. If anything, we should praise the lord for giving us the opportunity to suck Zuck's pee pee. Not sure what people are complaining about - everything that's happening is perfectly reasonable and if you disagree then you're obviously a pedo Marxist.
I shouldn't have to explain it because it's common sense.
In fact, I'm willing to bet that if we were to change the focus of our comparison from apples and oranges (which is what comparing gun-related deaths in the US to heat-related deaths in European countries comes down to, not to mention the vast differences in data collection approaches across disciplines, countries, etc.) to another pair of equally uncomparable fruit but one that you are not so strongly predisposed to thinkinking a certain way about, you would have the same reaction as I. Chuckle a little bit.
Why, you might ask? For the simple reason that comparing apples to oranges doesn't make sense unless you've been predisposed for it to seem like it makes sense.
And no, this is obviously not a uniquely American issue (I wish it were but it's definitely universal for all of us chimps). It's just that this specific comparison, absurd as it is, has a uniquely American flavour because it's clearly meant to rationalize the exceptially high levels of gun violence in the US.
And yes, "exceptional" is definitely the right word to describe gun violence in the US. You start to appreciate just how exceptional when you compare US numbers to literally any other wealthy nation. Now we're comparing apples to apples and things start making a lot more sense, don't you think?
My friend, those stats don't mean what you want them to mean. The narrative you are trying to sell is frankly ridiculous and criminally stupid. And dare I say - American
Exactly what I was thinking. Regardless of what one thinks about AI, it seems to me that only a long series of really bad a decisions could lead to something like this happening.

You mean President Petar Stoyanov, from 1997-2002?!
Do tell me about my past presidents, dumbass.
Pretty sure China wouldn't mind an utter imbecile as US president every single time.

I think reading comprehension mihht be a prerequisite for being an "enemy of the panoptic surveillance state". You should look into that.
Yes, let's just make the worst possible assumptions about every person in every situation ever. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with that?!
You might as well be saying "PLEASE SIR, TAKE MY RIGHTS AWAY, I'M TOO STUPID TO EXERCISE THEM ANYWAY"

In conclusion - it must therefore be true.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon!
He's been dead for decades. I think he's just quiet and rotting now.
