I just searched the internet for any news articles from 2024 about Trump’s comments on prices. Here is a video from Truth Social where Trump complains about prices rising under Biden. But now Trump is of course causing price rises himself with his tariffs.

Speaking of Truth Social, it says on that website: “Proudly made in the United States of America”. But Truth Social seems to be based on Mastodon, as indicated on one of their pages about open source software. And Mastodon was largely made by a German guy, presumably in Germany, rather than in the USA.

Also he said he would lower prices, but of course his tariffs will instead raise prices.

As the New York Times put it last year: “Trump Vows to Lower Prices. Some of His Policies May Raise Them.”

Jupiter, the emperor of Europe…

Ah okay. It looks like some people believe the summary is AI-generated though because six people (at the time of me writing this) have upvoted the comment claiming the summary is AI-generated. I really did write it myself though.

Maybe I wrote it in a matter-of-fact way. It’s just a long article so I thought I’d explain the gist of it.

I wrote the summary myself, I didn’t use AI for it.

That would be great. “Get tae fuck ya wee bawbag” (I think that’s the kind of thing Scots say)

Unfortunately I think they’ll stick with the USA

True. There are definitely more praiseworthy things than not pissing for 25 hours.

But still I think it’s rare to see a mainstream politician show such commitment.

The article says he didn’t wear a diaper:

A rep for Booker confirmed to TMZ that he did not wear a diaper during his speech.

Yeah I thought that. This is probably just Trump’s attempt to appear “neutral” when he isn’t actually neutral.

I like DST. I like having sunlight later into the evening during the summer.

AfD got 21% in the election though, higher than just 6%. I think it’s like someone else in this thread said - the right don’t want to buy Teslas because electric cars are seen as “woke”, while the left don’t want to buy Teslas because they don’t like Musk.

94% say they won’t buy a Tesla car

Meta is bad although I would argue that X and Tesla are worse.

Ah okay. Maybe I will just stick with a password + 2FA for now though. I’m sure I will eventually learn more about passkeys when I make the effort to read more about them.

I see, thanks. It mentions biometrics on that page. Maybe if my next laptop has a fingerprint reader then I should look into passkeys more.

Interesting thanks. I will probably just stick with passwords + 2FA for the moment because I’m lazy. It would be cool to have something like a hardware key though.

I have no idea what a passkey is and I will probably only learn what it is when they become mandatory

I will just use passwords + 2FA for the moment

Fair point. Maybe I just think the pain of being shot would be less unpleasant than the pain of a botched injection or electrocution.

Every single representative of Russia including Putin gives long ass speeches about why this is happening

The same government that has lied about so many things that I have lost count

Also the US is hardcore plotting and funding terrorism against Russia

Evidence? Do you think the US plotted and funded the Crocus City Hall attack for instance?
