Lets do Taiwan and Georgia next!

This needs more nato, you can barely see it

Yeah we should have, after promising Russia not to expand Nato “one inch to the east”, almost IMMEDIATELY expanded Nato to the east. And then within 14 years be at their border. That would have destabilized the situation much more. If we only had done that! My point is that whatever we did to get to this point, we just should have done more of it.

Luckily we now get the war that was promised! And luckily we also get to do the exact same thing again with China and Taiwan! How great is that?

Wow thanks that is awesome, gotta remember that site. For rice I already found the 50lbs pack that also beats my local discount grocer (which is rare).

What pisses me off that amazon has made it’s “sort by cheapest” completely unusable. You find 100 pages of the exact same ultra-trashy product or something related or a replacement part or something.

And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!

Toilet Paper is a lie!

This assumes rewritable media, of course… because we need feature parity.

I’d be fine without, if you can just append records to overwrite or delete previous files. For backup or long term storage RW doesn’t matter that much. Or at least, I’d much rather have a cheaper non rewritable disc with a capacity like this.

The way I approach it is that you have to mentally prepare and then just “spin your own head cannon” of how it would have wrapped up. That can be better than if a show went on for too long past the main storyline, or the main storyline wrapping up disappointingly. You just have to learn to accept that some awesome stories won’t be finished.

So overall for me it’s not that important for decision to watch or not.

Yeah. Russia has not just stepped back from New Start program, there are now rumors(?) that Russia is going to put nuclear weapons in orbit.

The US helped Saudi Arabia bomb the shit out of Yemen for a long time (search). I’m not properly educated about this myself but there are war crimes, starvation, a lot of shit. I mean you can’t keep up. But to them, enforcing sanctions against Israel creates local support, otherwise they are a pretty bad Islamist regime. The Houthis are also not proxys of Iran. So US bombing them probably helps them too internally.

But there is so much shit going on that it’s hard to keep up.

I think people are going a bit overboard with the reddit hate. I used the site for over a decades, learned a lot and had a lot of laughts and fun and gripes. To want to “burn it down” now because of api and ai stuff is understandable, but seems just vindictive. What public good is supposed to be achieved with this?

Using IP laws to legislate this could also lead to disastrous consequences, like the monopolization of effective AI. If only those with billions in capital can make use of these tools, while free or open source models become illegal to distribute, it could mean a permanent power grab. If the capitalists end up controlling the “means of generation” and we the common folk can’t use it.

Yeah I think paying the creators generously and allowing them to make a good living is how tiktok got off the ground so fast.

I really love the vine 6 sec sketch format but I only ever watches compilations on youtube. It’s like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’ll get, but eat enough of them… :D PS: Man this makes me nostalgic about those ancient times when everything wasn’t going to shit yet

How can the government be legit if it’s backed by the US? :D

Thanks for the info, I didn’t know they still are clinging on. Afaik they started with sanctions against Israel bound ships, then got attacked and now attack any US or UK ships. No doubt further escalations are coming instead of a ceasefire.

Huh, that’s weird. Try again? But surprisingly it’s also on web-archive

Just compare the civilian deaths: UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has verified 30,457 civilian casualties since 24 February 2022, including 10,582 killed and 19,875 injured.

In order to justify the Genocide you need to completely dehumanize Palestinians. That is the purpose of this propaganda. The same propaganda tactic has been used before.

Fascists believe in inequality based on identity. And most on lemmygrad agree that Russia is a far right regime.

This is such blatant propaganda

An attack by Yemeni Houthi rebels

The Houthi are the ruling regime in Yemen, not rebels. This is a way to make them sound illegitimate. I don’t like them at all but they did oust foreign imperial powers from their country (Saudi Arabia and the USA).

They claim to be acting over Israel’s war targeting Hamas in the Gaza Strip, however they have frequently targeted vessels with tenuous or no clear links to Israel

They are trying impose sanctions against Israel and say they will stop as soon as there is a ceasefire. They are doing this to win domestic support.

I really wish more countries would impose sanctions against Israel.

Again they are pretty bad islamists and apparently pretty incompetent, but the overall framing here is propaganda.
