Yes, until the Trump slashed the foreign aid to Pakistan in 2018. Since then they got much closer to China because they need someone to balance out Russian support for India.

It says that the president of the US has immunity for official acts which fall within their “exclusive sphere of constitutional authority”. This aligns with the executive privileges in other democracies.

In theory yes. In practice like all social conventions they change based on what most people believe they are.

Of course it matters. States and laws work the way the general consensus says they work. One of the reasons Trump can get away with 90% of what he does is because public servants got fed the idea that the president of the US is above the law.

That’s not what the ruling says and repeating that false interpretation only helps Trump.

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

Because I mean fail and trying to frame everything as positive, or at worst, neutral is not healthy and will lead to people not acknowledging their feelings?

I think you are looking into things in a non healthy way.

You are right that success and failure are not binary. Furthermore, every system, be it physical, living, or social, fails sooner or later.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to not fail for as long as possible, for if something brings joy or safety it’s continued success is important. It follows that if something that’s important to someone fails it’s healthy to morn it and to try to learn from it to not repeat the same failure.

The more logical choice would be to tax the distribution license sold by non American entities.

The thing that makes this unenforceable is that what he means is that he wants to tax movies not filmed fully in the US even if they are American movies.

When this was proposed the idea was that one of tank can replace two trees and it can be put in corners that are too small for trees (and cars). When you consider the space for roots you can get at least one parking space per tank at the cost of making car-centric cities even more of an hell hole.

They get in the way of parking spots. The steel cages must rule supreme.

As long as Google doesn’t sell Chrome to OpenAI.

You can make a relatively tasty rice with beans with canned beans and bit of salt in 10 minutes - if you are feeling fancy adding parsley will even move it to tasting good. I’m starting to suspect all the corn syrup is damaging american’s taste buds beyond repair.

Saving money on food to buy a guillotine is personal finance.

And the ones arriving are coming at a premium. And it’s not only because of the value of the tariffs. There are plenty of people complaining that American companies are being required to pay imports up front because no one wants to take the risk of rejected deliveries due to surprise tariffs. This often means that American companies will need to get loans to pay for their orders, and those costs will be passed to the customers.

I also saw posts of people saying that hospitals aren’t buying some medical equipment anymore because the sales price is locked by contracts with insurance companies and buying it from China would put them at a loss, so it’s more profitable to refuse service to patients - hurray for private healthcare ! /s

You can’t sell things to their owner.

The plotting war against each other was also prevalent in the allies. There were people in the Soviet Union that wanted to keep marching west to spread communism and there were people in the UK and US that wanted to pick up what was left of the Wehrmacht and march east to eradicate the Soviet Union.

The cold war was a compromise solution.

Before we even get close to have this discussion, we would need to have an AI capable of experiencing things and developing an individual identity. And this goes completely opposite of the goals of corporations that develop AIs because they want something that can be mass deployed, centralised, and as predictable as possible - i.e. not individual agents capable of experience.

If we ever have a truly sentient AI it’s not going to be designed by Google, OpenAI, or Deepmind.

It depends on what kind of weird shit you’re into.
