• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China invites European countries to form united front against Trump tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Neuromancer as well (the book that is).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of. The traditional estates didn’t provide an even remotely fair representation to the third estate, so the talking broke down before it even started, since the third estate just said “screw this, we are making our own convention” before the estates had actually convened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As per form for these “AIs”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth doesn’t matter to them, only power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is real⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One can hope, but most US veterans would gladly volunteer to be members of his death squads as soon as they get that far in their takeover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Noone is a foreigner on the world wide web. It is mainly Americans who expect everyone else on the internet to be Americans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I get that america is failing if it's duty to suppress the rise of fascist but did the rest of the world just put all its eggs in the america basket?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not going to happen. Europe is barely holding together as it is, and Russia/China are using just as much energy and resources in undermining it as they do in the US.

  At best Europe can stick somewhat together enough to form a working defence and foreign policy for its own territory and near neighbours, but it is never going to be a global force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cucumbers taste like the white part of watermelons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Donald Trump has already called asbestos “100% safe”. His cultist followers will eagerly become pro-asbestos if he tells them to. And he will tell them to if someone pays him enough to tell them so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smartphones and computers are now exempt from Trump’s latest tariffs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least he made all his billionaire backers a lot of extra money from all of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ooo.ooo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no person which he trusts. So this is what everybody gets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is anti-propaganda?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.

  You can’t use logic for someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.

  So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst people on Earth are the ones who are constantly obsessing about “winning” every situation, so that makes perfect sense to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shitty restaurants just microwave their food. Real restaurants actually cook the food. You could cut out the middle man by making your own food from raw ingredients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No “probably” about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not it. The right will lie about anything. If we change our beliefs to prevent the right from lying about us we would never have to stop changing our beliefs.

  This is more about right wing militias hunting lqtb+ people under the guise of pedophilia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin’s Creed Shadows devs roast Elon Musk amid feud with Hasan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  because surely he has nothing else to do right?

  We should probably be thankful that that narcissistic manchild is so addicted to his social media. Imagine how much more destructive shit he could have accomplished if he actually put his mind to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*trumpets blare*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of that old Gary Larson cartoon with the devil saying “Welcome to hell, here is your accordion”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheese pizza Lunchables have taught me that yellow cheese should be used in smaller proportions then white cheese or yellow cheese is more scarce/valuable then white cheese.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not American enough to understand what the hell OP is even on about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No European country has it. And no neither of those laws are more specifically “19th century” than the other, considering they are both much much older than that. Perhaps you should read up on history for a bit before making uninformed blanket statements like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, you are really doubling down on proving OPs point, aren’t you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No tolerance for the intolerant in a tolerant society. It has been thought about a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you confuse him with Göring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Go stick your tongue back into Putin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see you are not familiar with anything, considering your complete non sequitur nonsense spouting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who will fight that civil war? The American population is overfed and entertained and way too docile for such things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is interesting that you assume that breadbasket will not also be decimated by climate change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t know that, because there are no such sources. But we have concluded that he most likely did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeshua of Nazareth is a historically confirmed individual.

  He is not. We have no contemporary primary sources for his existence. However there is a general historical consensus that he most likely did exist. But absolute confirmation is an impossibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are historical records of somebody named Jesus that lived at the time.

  No, there are no contemporary primary sources about him from his purported lifetime. All sources stems from several decades to centuries after his purported death.

  The consensus about his existence is established based on the likelihood of him existing, but his existence can never be verified with absolute certainty.
