Kleptocracies gonna klept 🤷

Not my cat but I’ve seen cats just do this randomly in sleep

Adorable

Not a student of history apparently. Ever hear about the bombing of Dresden?

One immutable truth of wars is that aggressors set the rules. Hamas likes to fight in schools and hospitals…they’re straight up monsters - the people who support them aren’t much better.

“A total of 20 people, including a senior Hamas government official, were reportedly killed in three earlier strikes at two other Unrwa-run schools in Nuseirat and a church-run school in Gaza City.”

Hamas loves their human shields

Well they probably were terrorists. It’s not like they’re having classes lol

Three nights minimum in each location. It feels rushed if it’s shorter.

Oh you’re actually German? It’s been while since I was last there but it is less a race issue from what Germans mentioned- the issue with the Syrians was than a culture problem. Hard-line Islamic society meets liberal west was always going to be rough. Like having to ignore the paedophilia laws when they arrived with child brides…messy situation.

I’m definitely not saying the Syrians didn’t deserve sanctuary. However perhaps a country with a vaguely similar culture and language might have been better for them too? It’s a sensitive subject but surely you think every group of refugees can’t end up taking the train the Germany?

What’s your idea for the next wave? The one after, and so on?

Exactly. We need a working system for asylum before then! Open door really isn’t practical…if you have a better suggestion than mine I’m all ears

Side note literally everyone you mentioned was Caucasian 😂

Well…it’s been broken for a while I’ll give you that. Not a reason to stop trying to fix things Also a world war is obviously not going to have similar levels of displaced.

Honestly asylum and illegal immigration is one of the largest levers the right has - easy to stoke fear right? Wouldn’t fixing it remove that lever?

As bonus bonus points it’d allow the millions of currently displaced to have a home and stops the source of people smuggling and ends a huge source of human suffering.

We need to start focusing less on admitting people in and more on improving countries so there’s less inequality. Asylum is fundamentally flawed at present.

The asylum system is broken af. We need something but it’s not working as is. Millions displaced and more coming and they can’t all fit in the west.

How about a buddy system? Each country picks a couple of hopefully nearby countries with similar cultures and language. The buddy countries guarantee citizenship for displaced people from their country. The west agrees to assist financially with repatriation. For bonus points this also provides incentive for the buddy countries to push for stability.

Dick move Putin.

Ffs a children’s hospital? Pretty sure the Ukrainian weren’t using it as a firing platform so wtf?

The real problems would be x^m computational issues. A finite number of ai running around on a finite amount of space are linear problems. Basically, very possible

Turing test has been passed by ai just recently as it happens. Our computational load is trivial in the scheme of things

It’s simple - you cheat. In computer games we only draw the things you are looking at, and we only give the appearance of simulating the whole thing but the ‘world’ or universe is actually very limited and you can’t visit most places. Sound familiar?

Given they tacitly support them this is not shocking.

That’s one happy cat
