I’m pretty sure musk is still the richest man in the world (at least on paper, who knows what people like Putin have hidden away). Until that changes there is a .00001% chance of trump and musk’s relationship deteriorating

No they won’t. Even as self interested pricks, their interests overlap far too much for them to ever have a real fight. The richest man in the world paired with the (ostensibly) most powerful? They both want to weaken the power of average people, keep us uneducated, keep us too tired and sick and busy to question the status quo, and deregulate our economy. Their pairing is the most bald-faced bribery possible between corporate and political America, and they will never stop benefitting each other as long as people as self-absorbed as MAGA are in power.
Idk why I keep seeing comments like this, as though blame is a limited resource. For sure blame Republicans for actually being fascists, obviously, but Democrats deserve it too. This endgame has been visible since at least the 90s, and was impossible to miss by the time of the Tea Party. Over a decade of trying to compromise with unmistakeable fascists is inexcusable. Democrats repeatedly run a campaign playbook that both loses elections and shifts our political norms rightward over and over. Even now I see no signs that the party is interested in change. Fuck em.
Literally just asking you to explain your own claim of “cache makes a huge difference for gaming,” and instead you walk that back, pretend like I said anywhere that ALL I do with it is game, and get sassy on top of that. Smdh
You said that buying a CPU like mine, with a slightly smaller cache, was a bad idea specifically for gaming. I’m not clear on why it makes a big difference.
Is it really that big of a deal? I just upgraded to a 9900x and am playing Yakuza kiwami 2 and several vr games including half life alyx at max settings. On the rare occasion I drop below 120fps, the bottleneck has very clearly been my 6700xt. I don’t think I’ve seen the cpu ever come close to maxing out
No, Ukraine’s survival is not good for American oligarchs and nowhere in the comment you’re responding to was that even vaguely implied
The aid we send to Ukraine is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of wealth we allow the ultra rich to hoard. Our wealth tax rates are already criminally low, and even on those the underfunded IRS fails to collect somewhere between $500 billion to a trillion every year.
Our lack of a public safety net has nothing to do with foreign aid, and everything to do with our corrupt government doing everything it can to entrench the oligarchy.
Edit, didn’t think to source it until after I commented, looks like I sort of misremembered an old politico article, which is kind of a shitty source anyway–but everything other than the exact numbers I mentioned is still true
Also, lumping Israel and Ukraine together as equally bad is ludicrous
That’s be nice but the propaganda is such that they get to blame everyone else even when they’re in power. My bet is the worse they crash the country, the harder they’ll double down, and the more tolerance their base will have for them to do truly heinous shit to the groups they vilify (ie trans people and immigrants)
It’s not just economic globalization, but the global ecosystem’s food chains are already starting to collapse thanks to climate change, and our factory farming systems are becoming increasingly prone to virulent diseases wiping out huge crops of both plants and animals. I wonder what happens when food prices skyrocket because half our food supply has been contaminated, and at the same time inflation explodes thanks to plain ol’ financial mismanagement
I’m not disagreeing in a general sense, but it’s funny to make that argument here when this info basically fell into the journalist’s lap. Very little actual journalism went into making this story possible
