I get the US's point in restricting AI chips to China because of "national security". But it's ok for them to send the most advanced chips to Saudi Arabia, and that not being any sort of national security risk? I didn't realize the Saudi government is the bastion of Western democracy compared to authoritarian China lol.

Yup, because it was always about trying to slow the development of another nation down. Didn't work though as it actually forced Chinese researchers and companies to develop things on their own, which they now have.

This is a strange deal for the US to make with the cartel...

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article...dministration/

Quote:
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s security chief confirmed Tuesday that 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.
Quote:
Rumors had circulated last week that the younger Guzmán would plead guilty to avoid trial for several drug trafficking charges in the U.S. after being extradited in 2023.

García Harfuch confirmed the family members’ crossing in a radio interview and said it was clear to Mexican authorities that they were doing so after negotiations between Guzmán López and the U.S. government.

He believed that was the case because the former cartel boss, whose lawyer said in January he had entered negotiations with U.S. authorities, had been pointing fingers at members of other criminal organizations likely as part of a cooperation agreement.

I hope it comes with a free Gary Oldman on board.

Banning porn in the U.S. may really boost Canadian tourism.

If it's done right, why the hell wouldn't we want money from other countries pouring in here?

This is adjacent to a thought I have had about cannabis tourism. Why haven't we made like a cannabis centric mountain town that we can throw all the pot smokers and pot tourists at? They feel less awkward/ ashamed about smoking up everywhere and being high, families don't have to be as close to it, and we can create a weird little tourism subculture that actually glorifies it to some degree.

That last bit is the most refreshing sentence I've ever read from him, but should have been immediately followed by the words "and for that reason, I resigne."

On the flip side, the handmaid industry will be booming.

Strap a japanese-level micro room hotel to a major airport. Fairly inexpensive rent, comes with fresh purchased sheets, a box of kleenex, a bottle of vaseline, and a 72" screen with premium streaming services to canadian porn providers.

What is porn tourism?

only thing i can think of is that there is a porn convention in Vegas every year. I don't know much about it other than we were in Vegas at the same time and a couple women looked a little familiar...
