This is not a case of Trump having done bad things and Biden doing nothing. An analogue is if trump were firing a minigun on a bunch of people, he left office, Biden took over and resumed firing.

Also, sanctions by the richest country in history need to be proven to have adverse effects on the imposed in the same way the theory of gravity needs to be proven again: only flat earth type loonies need it so it's merely an exercise, not an academic necessity.

I like calling mine Mothra. It's not clever, but I couldn't think of anything else when I first realised I could rename the seamoth and wanted badly to name it.

What about Bumblebee or Weasel? The seamoth's small and manouverable, it makes sense.

STEM folks having low comphrehension of the world around them is very near the bottom of the west's problems. A much bigger issue is most people specialising in history, philosophy, economics, international relations etc. not having a clue about their field. One can spend decades studying this or that monetary theory, but without reading the foremost critics of the system of economics, or even realising this system isn't a natural thing given to us by a metaphor-god, it's absolutely worthless. Studying history without a proper understanding of materialism is like building a brick wall, making massive holes and then filling them with foam.

Worst of all in my opinion is that westerners can't differentiate between theory, conjecture and speculation, regardless of education. Something's only true or false based on one's preconceived notions.

Weird question bit when's the botton picture from? There he looks like he's got more blood in his face than the corpse of Biden has ever had in at least 4 years.

The commies are proven right every damn time. It's like we've got some sort of clairvoyance.

In the sense of being new information, this isn't news. Israel wanting to decimate the population of Gaza isn't news. There being US-backed nazis in the Ukraine wasn't news, nor was Zelesky beinga puppet who'd destroy his country, the US wanting war with Russia, there not being a genocide in Xinjiang, Iraq not having WMDs, Saddam not being behing 9/11 and so on and so on.

TERF island shithead reporters deserve to join a spike of casualties caused mainly by war.

So your twitter said this and it got 3 people malding

We are a collaborative encyclopedia with editors from literally all over the world and that's exactly what makes us strong and have the correct line on every issue.

There's this faux-humility I see basically everywhere, which leads people to call a sentence like this arrogant. It's literally not though, even if it weren't true. Who the hell believes in something they know to be false? One may ponder something and realise they believe it for no rational reason, but for one thing people don't keep a list of stuff they aren't sure about that they refuse to learn further, for another this is an encyclopedia, it's expected that they check something before they publish and yes, be right on every issue.

Truly Finland's #1 problem, illegal aliens from Kazakhstan!

Or you're racist shithead and it doesn't matter what Russia or anyone actually does. Your politics is merely a set of vibes-based trivia that appeal to your prejudices.

"Russia is making me hate immigrants by sending asiatics to the blessed Nordic."

The absolute gall to call us usians in such a vat of ignorance is fucking appalling.

You want to see a Palestine without Hamas? Look at the West Bank. There's no Hamas there. What a utopia it is, right?

You made sure people know what that is, right? I'm picturing the misunderstanding right now, they think you mean you're an ace pilot, suddenly they imagine you two having become soulmates when they hear the news that you got into a dogfight and didn't make it. They're already devastated, so they cut their losses and leave.

You know, for a man that's so well read I have a feeling he hasn't really touched much ex-muslim writings. That said I wouldn't have written a word had I not seen so many defending him.

I'm not being an edgy anti-theist. I know that any attempt to actively dissuade people of their religion is futile at best and often malicious. The issue is that he's precribing something that's not possible to reasonably back up.

If his analysis is that Islam is more conducive to a liberation struggle, he should say so. It'd be easy to debunk mind you; liberation struggles, marxist and non-marxist, happen all over the world. West Asia isn't close to being unique in this regard. Desire for liberty is quite inherent to all peoples of the world and fighting against subjugation doesn't become something else done for different reasons because the people doing the fighting are attributing their struggle to something else.

I feel this might not be quite clear, so I'll try to elaborate. A people may struggle and they may attribute their will to fight to their God, their patriotism, or something else they believe in. This doesn't make it true. If it were, we'd see a clear distinction between peoples of different religions or cultures, yet we don't. People struggle whether they believe in Allah, Buddha or Wakan Tanka. What we do see is that people in similar material conditions react in similar ways. A people under siege, kicked from their homes, treated with disdain and contempt will fight back. Many, of different cultures and religions have. From this it should be easy to conclude that the initial claim would be chauvinistic, even if one isn't impuning other beliefs.

I'm thinking how one would write that and make those recommendations without a hint of chauvinism, I can't really think of a way. He recommends books quite similar to books my haji grandfather gave me to read. He thought Islam was correct and that by reading, I'd come to the same conclusions and my faith would be stronger for it. It backfired spectacularly, but that's not my point. He wasn't trying to proselytise, in his mind he was doing no more than give a kid the tools he needed to find the truth. His best intentions didn't make him less chauvinistic, and they wouldn't Hakim. It doesn't make them bad people, but it means their approach doesn't have a sound material basis.

Edit: I deleted the last part because it wasn't helpful. I don't begrudge people fighting for their lives their religion, if that's what gets them through, all the power to them. All I'm saying is that these people aren't holding onto religion because it gives them their will, it gives them their will because they're believers holding onto it. Reading the life of the Prophet doesn't inform the readers as would the words of Ho Chi Minh or the history of Palestine, which is why I took issue with the post and its defenders.

I feel like an old man, I'm still having trouble with this website, pressing reply insread of edit.

Their approach to game design is as simplistic as their approach to politics or ehatever this moron was thinking. The top 4 best selling video games are as follows:

Minecraft: Enemies don't direct you towards shit, they spawn in every direction.

GTA5: In level design the claim sort of holds up but normally the enemies are pigs and again, they come from every which way.

Tetris: No ”enemies” to fight.

Wii sports: You don't move around so moot point.

#6 is Mario and that feels like it might be true but then again, the game forces you to go in that direction and shortcuts aren't advertised by enemies.

This isn't my list of best games or anything, but to take a small level/dungeon design concept and to generalise it first to all games and then to life, vaguely, isn't clever. This isn't theology dear fellow, your starting position with a western education, some games and 0 books doesn't grant authority for shit. I know this is just the musings of some kid, but most westerners are uneducated idealists who approach the world this way, and I've lost patience for it years ago.

You aren't that bright I see. That's the point, apple doesn't give two shits what their people say except if it hurts the bottom line. There are no good guys between apple and Stewart, the only thing of note is that if true, Stewart is so sinophobic that if he didn't get to do sinophobic rants and convince people to beat China in the AI race, he wouldn't have a show at all.

Indeed. The article is pathetically low on details, but it wouldn't surprise me if Stewart actually cut ties because they didn't want him doing an hour of sissypea bashing on the flimsiest horseshit and he didn't back down. I'm sure he'd feel all smug and self-righeous about it too, the hwite hero of a billion and half oppressed chinese.

Stewart's pet project is defending the emergency service workers who participated during WTC attacks. If he really gave a shit he'd be speaking out against usian military endeavours at every turn so that such an attack wouldn't happen again, yet he's nowhere to be found.

I'm sure many were just as hopeful in the 50s and to some extent into the 60s. A proper socialist bloc forming, the USSR making friends and allies all around, imperialists resorting to lying, distortions and hypocricy to retain their power. The US is on the brink of societal collapse due to the contradictions of its racial policies, colonies breaking their shackles and so on.

I'm not saying the things you've lissted aren't supposed to give you hope, but they're not supposed to give false hope. In 2020 the US went through an extreme economic instability and through a pittance to the common folk and a media campaign they survived without a hitch. They aren't collapsing any more than they were in the decade prior, they're merely deteriorating at pace. Same story in europe.

BRICS and multipolarity are similar in that respect. These are saplings that were planted decades ago and will bear fruit in the coming decades, not a unified socialist bloc that can act together rhe next day, or even the next year. Best case scenario in the short term is that we'll see them rejection western advances and demands while reducing conflicts between each other in small steps year by year.

I'll admit, one thing that gives me genuine, short-term hope is the developments in Niger and Gabon, on top of Mali and Burkina Faso of course. I wish to see a domino effect in other neo-colonies. I'm doubtful, yet living in hope.

Even the attempt is hilarious because it's not like we haven't got a decent quality version of the image. I know it's not 4k or whatever but you can clearly see Neo, unlike the "upscale".

The hook could be better, here's an idea:

In Capitalist Usia, conformism is valued above all else. Although they espouse the virtues of private property, agents of "HOA" scour neighbourhoods and kick people out of their homes if their lawn doesn't meet the specific criteria of the area.
