check thermal paste and get a fan attached to it. computer 120mm fans fit just right.

i recommend getting a fan blowing on that box. these get really hot at the slightest hint of some load.

can confirm, i have no idea what outside looks like.

but they aren’t. why do we have that gap?

probably behavior data

not a distraction. just us imperialism done exactly like it has ever been.

mask off now. we are approaching the mask off times.

i’d say the end of ww2 cemented them as the empire. the monroe doctrine was hemispheric domination as the precursor to global domination.

every other strong world power was weak from the war and they just swooped in and claimed the actual victory and all the spoils to themselves.

this is correct, and tech bro is indeed the term we use for them.

but it somehow feels way too respectful? like calling usians “yanks”.

more like imperialist and settler ideology are subsets (variations?) of a bigger settler-colonial mindset, but different in the sense that one is mostly genocide, and the other is mostly enslavement.

ie. when the us coups bolivia, they don’t want to annex the land, but rather enslave it’s people through their imperial machine. when israel invades palestine, they don’t want to make palestinians their vassals but rather just kill everyone and keep the land underneath their feet. these are mostly similar but different things.

i’m not that well versed about north america before the europeans but it’s safe to say there was societal organization before they came, but they decided to settle that land instead of making that society vassalized to europeans.

edit: to bring this closer to my mentality with this: i’m from a colony and i find what they do to palestinians, or what they did to native americans qualitatively different to what they do to us.

it could be. but i have the impression imperialism is a subset of this type of violence, when a nation does it to another.

i’m sorry to overextend this thread just because of semantics, but as i understand that part of history, the us was founded atop indigenous lands, with the intention of genociding them right out of the gate rather than enslaving them, technically making “manifest destiny” a settler ideology instead, right? i mean sort of like israel and zionism.

because i’m not. where did i ever say i’m from the US?

i forgot they invaded mexico pretty soon in, but that wasn’t global domination like they do today just yet.

he is

that’s a good idea actually, knowing who they are.

you don’t care so hard you keep coming back here to try and sound cool and aloof. we are really impressed.

so you really don’t understand what is being talked about here.

you wrote it off but is somehow still here.

so, you did understand and you just wanted to be an ass?
