CIA glow ops imply subtlety. Trump isn't being subtle at all. He legitimately does not care. He has the big stick of American power and he's willing to wield it.

Maybe so. In any case the chance of their government ceasing to exist is above zero now. South America has forgotten its place. The northern neighbors have been kind for far too long

Not going to lie, I'd be ear to ear grins if Trump tweeted at them to take their citizens back or he's going to let the psychopath cowboys in the CIA off of their leashes.

Interested in hearing what you all think about this story. Think the Khosla guy is kinda coping, but also I get his perspective. Could we (the west generally, christendom, USA) lose the "AI arms race"?

No, because none of these things are AI. They're LLMs, which are not AI

The real computing frontier is quantum computing and the US is way ahead of everyone else there

I've heard complaints from a lot of single/dating/married women in my personal life about how men don't know how to act around them and seem almost scared to speak about certain topics with them or perform a nice gesture like buying them flowers for fear of being seen as conservative/controlling.

Yeah - same. Hopefully those guys will learn that you just gotta be who you're gonna be and if your date doesn't like that, she's doing you a huge favor by breaking things off.

Columbia: coffee and cocaine will go up in price. though cocaine is mostly duty free at this point so it shouldn't be affected as much.

One of the punishments, per Trump's tweet, is a closer inspection of any freight from Colombia. Low key means that drug shipments from colombia will be seized. Druglords won't be happy with Petro

What's amazing is this isn't innocent mama y papa with baby enchilada and sopapilla in tow being flown back, these are the criminals who were deported and came back into the country. The Trump team smartly made a show of sending the bad guys first, and Colombia is going to rally the hombres to defend rapists and killers.

I think this is why the media hasn't been pushing hard against this yet, on top of being hit by Trump gum gum gatling style attacks. They know this is bad optics for the fag countries.

Oh no! Am I going to have to keep drinking delicious Hawaiian kona coffee instead of burnt Starbucks Columbian shite? How will I ever recover?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Starbuck's coffee is burned during the roasting process, and tastes burned no matter how light a blend you get. Haven't bought any Starbucks products for almost a decade *spits*

I'll just buy locally grown flowers (plenty around here) and use the 3 month supply of coffee I already have.
Do people seriously not stock up on coffee when it's on sale?
Not my problem if so. Learn to have a buffer for situations like these.

like 90% of the countries that we have regular trade relations with export coffee. hell one of my favorite things to do when i visit hawaii is try out the different local roasts. colombia doesn't have a monopoly on coffee and i'm tired of reddit pretending that it does

I hope Trump absolutely makes an example out of Colombia and nips any kind of resistance to this in the bud. Impose the tarrif for a month anyway and threaten to double it if they reneg on their agreement to accept their criminals. Would be good to strike some fear into the other countries that are even thinking of wavering on this.
