That really happens there? My god.

some part of me wants to live in your world for this; i assumed that everyone knew that this was the case since it’s on cnn/bbc/al jazeera/rt/etc.

consider antivaxxer parents that stick with their beliefs despite their children who died of easily preventable diseases to find your answers.

because you have to be super banned, not just ordinary banned. lol

i’m been wanting to use graphene, but refuse to buy a pixel new or used so i’m looking forward to this and hope that its implementation isn’t measured in years.

what resource or land did the russians need from ukraine?

men like kling were one of the reasons why i stopped being a software engineer; they’re so incredibly common in the field and so highly rewarded by it that it’s clear that the field’s leaders are aligned with them.

it makes me wonder what i’ll be doing once firefox is no longer a thing.

Iran is massive and will completely destroy the region’s energy infrastructure before the second one drops.

they’ll all drop at the same time so that iran doesn’t have a chance to respond and maximize the damage before russia finally gets around to announcing that they’ll extend their nuclear umbrella to include iran.

there’s always been a strong undercurrent of tech “libertarians” who refuse to understand that their “neutrality” is in service to fascists and pointing this fact out loud makes you the problem.

I wonder if China’s population is more or less ethnically and culturally homogeneous than that of the USA, and whether this should be considered a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

the defining characteristic(s) of an ethnic minority is a artificial distinction that the culture you exist within conditions you to regard as important and it will be different from one culture to the next.

thanks to colonialism, some of it will have a superficial analogue to your own culture, but the ingrained distinctions stretch back for hundreds to thousands of years longer and most are imperceptible to foreigners; hence the entire “monoculture” assumption by westerners of the (mostly) non-melinated variety.

aka: the primary goal of propaganda.

by that logic, over 100 million people died because of the united states; so it’s still better

everyone seems to keep losing them so that makes sense. lol

and then, if it keeps getting more popular, it gets banned, then unbanned, then sold to isreal like tiktok. lol

paywalled and archive can’t get past it.

We’ll only hear about … other opponents, exaggerating their misdeeds while ignoring ours

a tale as old as time. lol

with no guarantee the next system is any better.

there are living, breathing examples of better systems out there.

i wonder why they didn’t seek retribution for this like they’re doing for everything else.

I should’ve marked it with a sarcasm tag

totally understand now. lol

i accidentally stumbled upon your source. lol

you start to like it more when you inspect it closer. it’s like an endearing ironic juxtaposition compared to those REALLY convincing deepfakes floating around out there.

the yanis varoufakis deepfake on youtube blows my mind every day.
