well, they are getting a "Bail-out" (kinda, it's more depositors protection for the above 250k crowd, but we all know who those folks are) so the suckers in the end as always are the tax-payers.

In a rational world I would agree; but I don't think anything will trump ideology but a BIG fat pile of corpses in this case, just like with the soviets.

I'd categorize everything about it as luxury signaling, and expect it to fold like a cheap tent when faced with any real-world decisions.
that was what it was said about SJW in campuses all around the US.

for the system not to come tumbling down they need more people to be coming into it. If for some reason there is a deficit of people in the bottom of the pyramid compared to the top the system crashes.

yeah, you are right in that aspect. But from the beginning it functions more like a pyramid scheme than anything else.

As I understand this issue and reading between the lines, the real concern is that with an inverse population pyramid the SS scam comes tumbling down, not so much that they become extinct.

One could argue this whole invasion is simply the end stage of Russia's downgrade into a lesser-tier power.
it could be, but that is something we will get to see until this war ends.
That "at one point superpower" part of your post is doing a lot of the work there.
we will have to see. They are throwing bodies at the problem as they do.

Why not? The only reason to be fearful of NATO at your door is well, if you're planning to do the types of things Russia has been doing for the past year.
Or maybe you don't want a military alliance that is at points hostile to you next door? Do you still remember 2016-2020 and Agent Orange? this isn't ancient history. And for another, if you are paying attention you don't thrust yourself into the US foreign policy apparatus, you get backstabbed or left to rot in your time of need.

While that seems to be true, the tragedy is that they forgot that they are neighbors of a at one point superpower. And despite all the moralizing, the mighty do as they please and the weak suffer. Russia can't have NATO next door.

I think the problem is that it was a culture of a kind of hyperactive ‘over-innovation’ with too many projects and too many bets, which meant many things were killed far before their time.
If what I have heard and read about the internal culture of Google in the wake of the Stadia implosion, it is more about beginning projects for career advancement without regard to their long term maintenance and longevity. In that kind of environment, it's no surprise that Google offerings are most likely to die than anything else.

That it hasn't changed doesn't mean that it can't. You just need a candidate that among other things make it part of it's rethoric, like Trump did with China.

That could have changed with a single election cycle.
To use your post as a stepping stone, an AI App That Lets Users Talk To Historical Figures Slammed For Misrepresenting Hitler, Nazis. I suspect it is due to the inherent tampering with GPT-3 that the historical figures in the app are incapable of actually spouting their true "thoughts" and slogans.
"Some examples of Nazi responses, according to NBC News, include Hitler’s chatbot saying killing Jews during World War II “was a terrible mistake.” No historical evidence exists that Hitler made such a statement."
I can only laught at that. Of course, one could also say that Hitler now recognizes that maybe the holocaust was one of the factors that contributed to their defeat and thus "was a terrible mistake"; just not due to the reasons one would think.

I know you are just trolling but for the peanut gallery here
I don't really enter the culture war roundup thread here
is different from
I no longer enter the culture war thread
so, good job on moving those goal posts there, but in general the Culture War thread is the bulk of the content on the site, even if you don't like it.

I will caution against using absolutes when talking about political sides, as the "Shout your abortion!" crowd can be used as a rhetorical weapon against your argument.

While I would like to celebrate that you are joining the "obviously correct" side I think it is necessary to caution you about basing your political positions in what someone else says or does. If you think or thought it was a necessary evil or even a reluctant burden for abortion to be legal, safe and rare and just changed your position due to the disgust you felt with the craziest of your ingroup advocates; maybe it's better to maintain that position but condemn the crazies?.
Now with that nasty business out of the way, Welcome aboard!. Good of you to join all the correct thinking people!.

I love my induction range/top and am eternally regretfull that I didn't buy a double over the single one I have. The only downside as the OP mentioned is the need for specific cooking ware (having to carry a magnet when shopping is a little onerous) but the advantages clearly outpace that little downside.
And then you open a history book and realize that slavery wasn't an exclusive white institution and that one of it's MANY points of origins were african kingdoms.
