Use the fallacies correctly, I was directly addressing the claim in the post I was responding to

Yes the US army historically has performed superbly against countries they deemed small easily beaten opponents.

Unironically true most of the time they were not fighting China and USSR (like Korea and Vietnam)

In the case of Korea it was all worth it, 50 million people live better lives than North Korea

I never claimed otherwise

Desalinating water might be the best part. Usually, solar power has the downside of needing storage and desalination has the downside of big energy requirements. If you can do both at the same time, it’s a big win for dry climates with lots of sun

I’m not talking about results of those things, I’m talking about whether the military won or lost

From a military standpoint, the US military did not fail its tasks. It’s the political side that’s a failure

My dad worked at a social media start-up in 1999, but I guess it didn’t catch on

Debian would be good if it didn’t use apt

Pretty sure if you asked it on stackoverflow you would get a bunch of responses to make it at home and then someone would lock your question

There are people out there whose job is to format promotional emails for companies. AIs can replace this kind of soulless work completely. We should applaud that.

Some of them can produce the correct answer. Of we do the test next year and they do better than humans then, isn’t it progress?

How? You test the variables separately. For example, if smoking increases risk by 50%, combine the smoker and non-smoker groups with that in mind

Actually, yes. Venezuela, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, etc. None of those were on the level of Vietnam that was supported by China and the Soviet Union

So first I’m just a landlord shill, but now that you find out I’m not one I’m doing their bidding? Maybe I just want to have a discussion

They don’t risk that because the company pays them every month.

Why do you assume I’m a worker, lol

And that’s how it should be, since the workers did not take a financial risk to start a company

If employees create negative wealth because the project fails, do they have to pay it back?

Oh, you only want employees to have 100% of the profit, with 0% of any loss

So if landlords put more money into renovation it’s bad, if they don’t it’s also bad

They were paid the wage they signed the contract for. Underpaid scoring to whom?

Jeff Bezos started Amazon and worked to expand it for decades. The company didn’t make a profit for something like 20 years (but kept raising money and expanding). Sounds like labor to me

Only in rent-controlled markets. In other markets they remodel to jack up the prices, but you would complain about that too
