  • "With or without gang violence?"

    "Yes."

  • Dear Charlie Kirk, you claimed to a be a patriotic American, yet made another American dislike you enough that they shot you. Curious...

  • They withdrew from Afghanistan and then tried their luck against Russia, now they are scaling back from both Europe and Asia and trying their luck in their immediate backyard.

  • I used to work in a tech store and I can confirm the shift. The stuff that says "Made in China" now are things like laptops, hard drives, drones, TVs, game consoles etc. while basic and cheap products like toys and clothes are now made in other countries.

  • No it's alright, I do agree with you that it's something worth carefully considering and weighing both options.

  • That's a fair point but I feel like Russia and Iran have already been fairly accommodating towards Azerbaijan with all things considered, to no avail. When Azerbaijan attacked Armenia, Russia let them without any real consequences despite Armenia being a CSTO member (at the time). If Azerbaijan really wants to be a SCO member, I say that they are going to have to make some concrete concessions.

  • I'm in agreement with India but not because of Pakistan. Azerbaijan is a snake that's collaborating with Israel, Turkey and Ukraine and has no place in the SCO as things stand. They let Israel's F35s fly over their airspace to attack Iran without protest and Aliyev regularly makes anti-communist statements about the USSR.

  • I remember Trump tried to stir shit with Venezuela in his first term too, it ended with a bunch of tacticool mercenaries getting arrested the moment their boats got to the beach.

  • This is why I keep saying that electricity generation is a much more reliable measure of a country's overall economic strength then GDP, countries will naturally find ways to consume as much electricity as they can and there is much less room for voodoo in the calculations. That would place China at already being over 2x the size of the US economy and place Russia as the 4th largest economy rather then the 11th behind countries like Canada and Italy which is just plain absurd.

  • The only surprise here is that there are still steel factories operating in Pennsylvania.

  • A couple weeks ago I went to the hospital for an unrelenting cough that was starting to tear my back and rib muscles. Got there, had to wait over 3 hours from them to take a couple X-rays. Then told me it's probably just allergies and then they didn't even have any basic cough medicine and told me to pick it up at Walmart which I couldn't because it was past 11pm and they were closed. Billed me $400 dollars and now I'm 99% sure it was a covid cough and not allergies.

  • Luckily I've haven't been seeing that many pinning the blame of this censorship push on wokeism, just a metric ton of "We are becoming like China/North Korea".

  • I stick almost exclusively to single player games like Silent Hill, Sekiro, Resident Evil etc. nowadays and avoid the whole online culture entirely, spares me all the brainrot.

  • We went from having a senile man in office throwing money at Ukraine and sponsoring genocide in Gaza, to having a senile man in office throwing money at Ukraine and sponsoring genocide in Gaza.

  • China becoming more attractive for researchers to study and stay is vital and would put a definitive nail in the US's coffin. For proof you only need to look at lists of developer names for AI models, whether the models be from China or the West.

  • Because socialist movements how a far greater chance of succeeding in a world where major powers are divided rather then the US/NATO having absolute dominance and control. If the US has no major rivals they are free to use their resources on playing world police and smother socialist country or movement before it has the chance to get off the ground. Obviously, worldwide socialism is the ultimate goal, but multipolarity is the most feasible next step towards that.

  • They would be better off with Big Beautiful Bullfrogs if they want to make great leaps into space.

  • Not surprising to me in the least, Spotify has been consistently showing their colors and all you need to do is look how big they were in being pro-ukraine in 2022. A complete no go for me.

  • Yep, it's Lindsay Graham again, the guy pioneering the shitty depths of neoconservatism.
