What do you mean “going down”?? They’re already lowest in history, the best prices under any president, anyone can tell you that, the prices are some of the most beautiful prices you’ve ever seen, people come and tell me they have never seen prices so low like this, they say how do you do it, how, because prices were high under crooked Joe Biden and would be even worse under crooked Kamary Harrton, but thanks to our beautiful tariffs we are now respected, the world respects us, and politicians from all over the world come to me for advice on running their countries because we have the most beautiful prices in history! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yesterday he said the US has earned $18 trillion from import tariffs when the entire US trade is around $7 trillion.

Truth means nothing. Reality means nothing.

How in the world is that related to the topic at hand?

Excellent joke, good sir!

Ahhh, the land of the free!

So, you changed one cloud provider to another…

But let me rephrase: cloud can be significantly cheaper - if you know what you’re doing and what you’re putting on the cloud.

I’ve been to data centres that cost as much as a decade of cloud hosting the service they were supporting (and that’s without operational costs).

Cloud is especially great for small businesses where you have two alternative options: either build your own data centre which you absolutely cannot afford (or risk making it barely operational and unreliable) or host your company at someone else’s DC - which is what cloud is, but worse (because nobody can set up so much resiliency and have so many DC techs/admins as Microsoft or Amazon).

There absolutely are situations where self-hosting is preferable, and even cheaper, but wondering “why do we place so much reliance” on cloud service providers just shows that people have no clue what cloud actually offers.

Put tariffs on everybody who doesn’t host US data on their own cloud services.

Why do we place so much reliance on one mega company? This level of importance.

Because it’s cheaper and (in broad terms) more reliable than everybody having a data centre.

It should be seized by the government.

Oh yeah, what could possibly go wrong if the US government owned Amazon!

Put a banana in your ear!

(A banana in my ear?)

Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear!

It’s true!

(Says who?)

So true! Once it’s in your fears will disappear!

This is what I got from memory. Haven’t seen the video in about a decade.

Could you post some recommendations?

You mean one dead accuser?

The second one never did anything other than press runs.

The third one was a convicted stalker.

Heather Unruh

This one was actually hilarious.

They stated that her son was texting his girlfriend while Spacey was “doing the deed”. When asked to admit the phone as evidence, they said that they “lost the phone”.

It magically resurfaced a couple of months later, but… without the text messages. Unruh admitted that she deleted “some texts”.

The only thing that’s bleak about this story is how the public hung a guy who seems to be only guilty of giving off weird vibes.

it feels highly likely he’s guilty

And yet he was found not guilty in literally all cases that went to court…

he was convicted of sexual abuse

Only by the people who were nowhere near the court cases. E.g. at least half of the Internet.

I mean are they wrong that the rich never really get punished?

Ekhm… Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein are suddenly no longer considered rich?

Mate, are you saying that Spacey has more pull, or access to better lawyers, than Harvey Weinstein…?

I find this especially hilarious considering his cases were on around the same time as Cosby’s and Weinstein’s.

It seems people honestly believe that Kevin Spacey has more pull/better lawyers than Harvey fucking Weinstein…

This seems to work as a model for YouTubers and podcasters

No, it doesn’t. They’re still being paid by YouTube/Spotify a flat amount based on the number of views - which are being paid for by ads and premium subscriptions.

Which means: people pay (one way or another) first, consume the content later.

You people behave like you believe that artists got gathered up under threat of violence, put into these companies and are being forced to work there against their will…
