Brute forcing things is the kind of thinking that leads to the moron losing the game of chess. And is basically the approach the U.S. took in Vietnam.

And just like the Vietnamese, Iran doesn’t have to win against the US. They only have to not lose. They control the straight, and at $1 per barrel toll, they’ll be making $1 Billion a week. Trump owned himself. This is going to suck.

Paid in yuan, of course, because that's the currency they're allowed to use, because of the US. And then oil companies decide it's annoying to use two different currencies, and they would rather buy the oil with yuan as well...

Brute forcing by spending hundreds of billions of dollars per year on a military is not analogous at all to brute forcing in a game of chess, whatever that means.

Regardless of the analogies, the reality is that even with all the resources the US spent on its military, after a whole month, it cannot guarantee safe passage through a body of water adjacent to a small time adversary. Which, as an American, is embarrassing in terms of ROI on tax dollars spent.

20+ years would mean it started to be commonly used around the Iraq invasion, for context on “Orwellian”.

It also says nothing about whether the person actually goes bankrupt, just which debts are discharged, which is one of the key parts of the bankruptcy process. Certain debts are discharged because the person can’t pay them back, which is the point of going into bankruptcy court.

I rave about "The Secret Agent" (2025) to everyone. It's a slice of life movie about people living under a dictatorship. It's got a lot of heart.

Like how they deny visas to fact checkers.

There is a use case for grid lane and pinterest is a good example: random images where a user isn't looking for a particular image but is just browsing. That's also why the example looks bad, is because it prominently includes text, which isn't part of the use case. Scannability is terrible, this layout has a very limited use case. It really is only for browsing random images, not even searching for a specific image and definitely not concerned with text.

Well the going rate is $1 million for a pardon, so it’s not always free.

It's very easy to watch an older movie on the same system and notice the contrast.

The :active pseudoclass has been used to change the appearance of links since the beginning. (Probably in part because loading links was considerably slower back then.) Not giving links an :active style is a bizarre oversight.
