Will you allow me to probe your anus?
Eh, no?


Mostly a Russian disease, though


Hello tankie!
I know it sucks when your favorite dictatorship get called out for the horrible shit they pull, but that’s life.
Live with it


Yeah, and? Hasn’t this been know since like. A decade or so? Hasn’t this been like this since it’s founding?
Everyone knows, and so far, nobody able to stop this has cared.
This isn’t news, this is just sad


What have I ever gotten from paying my taxes?
Except the roads of course, that goes without saying
And okay, okay, police keeps order and makes it we have a lawful nation
And sure, sure, firemen will always be there to protect my house from burning down but that’s nothing!
And I had free education, but come on, isn’t that what you’d expect at the very least?
Nothing!
And okay, they did get me free healthcare too, fine, but that’s nothing
Investments to promote local businesses? Fine…
So aside from the roads, police, firemen, education, healthcare, investments, what have taxes ever done for me?
Nothing!
People like that feel like a Monty Python sketch


From now on, I’ll refer to it as the white wing, I hope the name sticks


Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.
And we will NEVER trust you again because we know you’ll retry this next year or so in a few smaller steps that all have cutesy innocent names that are supposed to lull us in a false sense of security
Fuck Google, stop paying them for anything, stop using their services wherever possible.


AI will never become a bubble as long as idiots keep pumping money into it!


I’ve been hearing this for years now, and predictably, nothing happened.
What’s different this time?
And how trustworthy is this source? I’ve seen many a blog like this one that is just sponsored messages from state X wanting to make state Y look bad


I hate the idea, because short term everybody loses, lose loved ones, lose their own lives, but one does wonder if a civil war would finally be able to break Russia into smaller normal independent democratic states that can take care of themselves


Yeeaaaahhh, no, that won’t stop unless indeed a civil war breaks out in Russia.


I do not agree
Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help
Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?


“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning, and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets. I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Is that even English?


Maybe
But as long as we make “out side” hostile for people to walk over, we will make it worse for ourselves.
I’d rather treat coverts nice with the risk that they might continue to be a dick but who knows, she might see us how we actually really are, learn, and change her stance. Maybe she can even pull some more to the nice side.


I very much agree with you
There are reasons why you sometimes during a revolution or at the end of a war need to end the lives of a few people, certain ring leaders. See the Neurenberg trials for example.
But yeah, the Soviet Union went way way over the edge and started killing people indiscriminately just because terror. Something similar happened (and in some way still happens) in china. It’s the main reason why I’m veryuch against communism
Tangent that is required because I hear the tankies furiously tying: Give me socialism supported by a very well clamped down capitalist system that simply puts hard limits in how much anyone can own. Anything over (for example) 10 million in net worth goes 100% to tax. Companies cannot be worth more than 1 billion, the rest goes 100% to tax. Gives the government a huge tax income to pay for a socialist system that can pay for free healthcare, free education, free housing, hell, universal basic income even. Companies cannot get too powerful, people cannot get too powerful but at the same time it leaves the rest as-is, so we retain all our freedoms


Well let them suffer and die, it’s what they wanted for us, now they get what they voted for themselves. Not going to feel guilty for them


Besides…


To anyone thinking the that a revolution will end with “their” side winning:
its a revolution, everyone loses something
Unless it’s a civil war, them everyone will lose nearly everything
And even if “your” side “wins”, I guarantee you that someone will end up in charge that is a hundred times worse than what you started with. The Russian Revolution was to get rid of the tsars and make everything fair for everyone and instead they ended up with Stalin oppressing the shot out of everyone, as a semi random example
If and when this goes south for the US, everyone will regret it. There is nothing as bad as a war that puts neighbor against neighbors, and sons against their fathers.
No it doesn’t, it let’s you talk to an LLM that is configured to give responses like imaginary beings would.
