I don’t understand why you’d use GDP here. Is the assumption that, normalized for currency differences, all countries have the same gdp? That’s not true.

I think argued earlier that tue money goes less far in the us because the cost of living is higher, so then normalize by cost or standard of living? But even that would assume that the average wage in the country is supporting the same lifestyle in both Russia and the us. Which it isn’t. Some countries live “better” than others.

I think raw numbers are probably best here. 100 trillion in military spending is 100 trillion.

I think they’re probably more worried about the us invading them. We’re the ones who’ve been invading countries most in the past 100 years, not china.

This is exactly what he was saying though, isn’t it? Biden literally used the sotu a few weeks ago to publically call them clowns and you just ignored it. You have a narrative in your head you want to be true, so you’ll seek out whatever you need to make it that way. It’s a waste of time to pursue your vote. It’s already decided.

All those people who told me they voted for him because he was rich and therefore couldn’t be bought seem to have gone very quiet.

And a bunch of poor people paying his and his billionaire friends bills for them.

I will never really understand why china’s on these lists. I know it’s because theyre communist and commies = bad, but every other country on their has literally vowed to kill Americans, while china’s biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.

Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I’m not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.

I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.

Signing doesn’t provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.

Isn’t that what a form is?

He’s 83 too and there’s plenty of fox news articles out there about times he’s confused bush and trump or ebola and COVID.

I always think Biden should take this asa sign the court is too small. 9 justices apparently isn’t enough to handle the caseload and the court needs to expand.

Wasn’t Biden on Seth myers literally last night?

But not voting for him means fucking over lgbt, women, and minorities. Good work! You’ve made a great statement to the world about who you care about.

But what are the chances that one person hangs out with three people who have similar opinions? Sounds impossible if you ask me.

The vast vast vast vast majority of men in the world are uncut and fine.

The vast vast vast majority of the worlds men have foreskins though.

Circumcision is taking a kid and doing something irreversible to them without consent. Trans treatment is taking a kid and preventing irreversible things from happening until they consent.

It’s weird the us but wouldn’t even mention human rights abuses perpetrated around the world.

I think Biden makes compromises. That’s the leftists argument against him. But here he’s probably weighing the cost of pissing off a Jewish block of support and leftists.

I also doubt it’s much of a choice. The leftist won’t support him regardless because he’s not bernie sanders.
