Yeah but this time they’ve got bunkers and AI, so they think this time it’s different.

Apparently they can, they just cater to richer people now. Eventually they’ll make even the most basic essentials into luxury goods. Then they’ll figure out that they can make profits go up even higher if they don’t waste money actually making things and instead sell virtual goods that are infinitely replicable. Then everyone starves to death.

You can be pro-Israel and anti-genocide.

That’s like saying you can be pro-nazi-germany and anti-nazi. There is no nuance in sending billions of dollars in weapons to a country actively committing genocide. That can only be taken to mean support for genocide.

This is being done by the “facts don’t care about your feelings” people?

It wasn’t just a mere change in government, it was a complete rebuild of Germany with safeguards put into place to prevent the regrowth of fascism. That is what it meant for nazi germany to have been eliminated, and something similar should happen with israel. The genocide, apartheid, and ethnocentrism has broad support within israel, far beyond just one side of the government, the entire country was founded on these principles. If israel continues to exist, it should exist in name only, because the country as it currently exists is a poison and would be like allowing nazi germany to continue existing.

Why shouldn’t the genocidal apartheid ethnostate known as israel be eliminated the same way nazi germany was?

I didn’t expect republicans to interrupt their own masturbatory moment of silence. Anyway, I would’ve been tempted to rip the loudest, nastiest fart I could muster, even at the risk of shitting my pants.

Not just tariffs, but also terrorizing and deporting the workers that the industry exploits. Even for items not actually impacted there’s also the corporate greed seeing a convenient excuse for higher profits. Just an absolute disaster all around.

Special characters is just one case to cover. If the user says they want “an elephant-sized drink” what does that mean to your system? At least that is relevant to size. Now imagine complete nonsense input like the joke you responded to (“-1 beers” or “a lizard”). SQL injection isn’t the only risk with handling inputs. The person who ordered 18,000 waters didn’t do a SQL injection attack.

This is more complicated than just having the available menu items, the available modifications, and the limits on quantities to compare against. This is already available through the app/online ordering.

I don’t know how you can think voice input is less versatile than text input, especially when a lot of voice input systems transform voice to text before processing. At least with text you get well-defined characters with a lot less variability.

This is handwaving, which, to be fair, describes a lot of AI “solutions”. An anomaly could be as basic as a customer not wanting onions on their burger because the vast majority don’t make that modification.

Now what do you do in that situation? Force orders to never have modifications? That customization is such an important feature to the point that burger king adopted it as a slogan with “have it your way”.

Yep, the trade war that trump carried out with China in his first term led to China buying a lot fewer soybeans from the US, instead turning to Brazil (now even more with the second trade war). Since this time his trade war isn’t limited to China, many more countries are finding alternatives. It’s much harder to gain business than it is to retain it and even harder to regain business when lost.

US corporations were happy to support trump because he’d cut taxes and regulations on them, but that won’t outweigh all the business lost internationally. Instead US corporations will be relying on squeezing Americans even harder in an attempt to make up for that lost business. I suppose that’s the true meaning of “America first”.

Are we waiting on the US to approve or disapprove every political action in the world?

Too late. The US already has a ton of influence here and is currently content with supplying Ukraine with just enough to hold off Russia but nothing more. If the other western countries increase their support, the US will just scale back an equal amount.

The parasites are destroying earth while claiming their dick measuring contest is what will save us.

I thought people valued hard work, why would they idolize a symbol of being lazy?

Our economy would collapse without this “needless spending”.

It’d cost more to buy out the politicians than to switch to the sachets that are still allowed. The sachets are cheaper to produce since they use less plastic and businesses would be happy to be “forced” to switch to a cheaper alternative along with all their competitors.

Good luck relying on informed customers when customers are too busy living their lives to keep track of a billion different reasons for why they shouldn’t buy one product over another. Also, these are given out at restaurants. Do you recommend refusing to go to a restaurant if they happen to see this dispenser being included there?

How is making sure millions of people are informed and making the “correct” decision every time a better solution than simply restricting on the supply side?

Again you miss the point. So you “said something” about Palestinians? All I can see you saying about the issue is shaming people for still talking about it even though it’s still an ongoing issue. You’re claiming that people who talk about it still just have a superiority complex and are somehow at fault for everything trump does, even though the democratic party, who has far more power than any of us, were happy to continue supporting genocide even if it meant losing votes.

Let me state that again: the democratic party, your supposed champions holding back fascism, were happy to ignore voters protesting genocide because they thought sending billions in weapons in support of genocide is more important than their votes. Now you’re telling me that these very same champions give a shit about any of your friends and family? It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so tragic. The democratic party is the “good cop” in the good cop/bad cop fascism routine. Both cops work for the same organization and have the same goal.
