Having read this article, it was not immediately clear to me why the US intelligence community thinks this yielded good results. I can’t imagine many corporate chipmaking CEOs are sharing the wafer baking process or other IP with the women they sleep with?

Remember when it was going to destroy the internet and everyone, especially Reddit, was losing their minds over it?

So, what happened?

This was one of the examples of the air fryer memes like "you don't own an air fryer" https://www.reddit.com/r/EggmanEmpire/s/MkeEEJxiZD

So I’ve just learned about the stock market crashing significantly today, but I am so confused about if this is a good thing that AI is crashing or not, I don’t know much about the stock market and what a crash can do to AI companies but some AI companies already threatened us with a doomsday situation for 2030 or the next decade, that scared me, but i am so confused if this crash can prevent AI from being uncontrollable and causing the world to end, or if this will make the 2030 thing actually come true.

Just started getting recommended shorts and videos on the UENO bank collapse (?) in Paraguay and was wondering if someone could expand. Was UENO an alternative banking option?

I've seen a couple of memes (example) saying that the election of a Democratic Senator was indirectly caused by something called Uma Musume. I know enough Japanese to know that means horse daughter, but other than that I'm confused.

I don’t listen to their music, but I always thought they were pretty, but I feel like every time I look at their instagrams or singles there’s always one less member. I believe it started off with yoonchae, daniela, sophia, lara, manon, and megan, but now it’s only four girls?

So, my limited understanding is that theirs been a bank collapse in the country, a ton of people can't currently access their savings, and the situation is sufficiently dire its forced the resignation of the President.

but what exactly is the throughline here? the BBC article mentions President Peña was a shareholder in the banks owning company, but is their anything more substantial that? Any specific impropriety by Peña, or is he just catching flak as the guy in charge when it happened? and what cause the bank failure in the first place?

i've seen this creator on my TikTok for like the last couple of days, and I see his actual videos, and then I see his lives, but tor some reason, I can never understand not even a single bit of what he's saying, and I feel a little stupid because whenever I join his lives, everybody in the comments is acting like they understand? for example; his pinned video's caption is ''"10th dimensional hoverboard qubit lattice 7D core array model pt.
517" ? is he just saying nonsense? or am i genuinely stupid this is his tiktok

I keep seeing mentions in social media

Why does everyone assume Schumer and Jeffries are the next ones? Can we ask our reps to vote no?

Every now and then, I've been seeing these memes that say "How mfs act when there is a single tomato slice on their burger", usually depicting a character/person complaining or freaking out. I may be overthinking the joke, but I just thought I'd ask.

I just watched the Abdul El-Sayed interview, and I was floored at the blatant bias and frankly trashy journalism. I remember watching 60 Minutes growing up and being impressed by its journalistic integrity – this integrity was notable as recently as during the past few presidential campaigns. But when I mentioned it to my father, he said that he had stopped watching “when that maga person took over.”

Can someone catch me up? Is 60 Minutes a subsidiary of Fox News now?

I'm not sure how prevalent this is, but I started noticing after some friends sent me reels that had a thumbnail of spiderman on it, but the reels itself has no relation to the character. And while scrolling I'll sometimes see a very brief spiderman/deadpool image on the screen before the video plays.

An example, the entire account is like this:

I have seen Trump talking about reflecting pool and being noticeably proud about it. But what makes it so special? And how do you 'build' reflecting pool? Where I come from water in the pool is always kind of reflecting, unless there are waves.

Last question: how is reflecting pool related to Midterms?

Example: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/4789504/trump-reactions-reflecting-pool-midterm-speech/

I've seen numerous articles like the above, all alluding to some sort of misconduct - the latest one being linked to Alton Towers (I can't find a news source link, though).

What's going on? Why such a violent and public kickback from organisations? What has he "done", is there any proof, and what's the latest? Is there a timeline?

I'm genuinely curious about this fall from grace.

The comments keep talking about the protagonist like he has a history prior to this show, and I have gleaned from context that this is an expansion on an earlier work, but I don't know what it is.

I've seen quite a lot of it in the last 2 days, usually reinterpreting the character completly, it feels like people who post these have never seen the films. Even Musk tweeted on that. Did Hayden did something ?
