I feel like as soon in the past as the late 80s this is an entirely uncontroversial statement and should there be somebody to look back on it in a 100 years, the period of roughly 1990 to 2020 where the US pretended to care about democracy is gonna be the weird blip

All you’d get with starting with an earlier Arma than 3 is losing quality of life features and gaining eurojank

how’s this explain germany, which abstained?

Imagine the reverse scenario happening and how that’d play out

It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

you should get rid of the assumption that things need to make sense to these people

trust me I don’t but especially if I pick up the simulation thing that also seems to concern a lot of people who aren’t religious. I mean I get the religious people, it’s in direct affront to the axioms you structure your entire shit around. That makes sense to me, even if I don’t share the axioms.

I’m aware it’s controversial, I just genuinely do not get why you would care.

honestly I never got this. Same with the simulation thing. What’s it matter if we’re in a simulation or all I ever do is the result of some salty fat firing off neurons? I mean what am I going to do about that?

“The Computer never makes a mistake” is true and also probably responsible for people believing LLM-hallucinations uncritically

France announces they’d let Putin walk freely in France since Russia isn’t a signatory state of the rome statue

So what’s to be done about this?

The point I’m trying to make was that this isn’t a Colorado problem, due to systems involved

Overextraction of raw materials from rural communities drives the overdevelopment of cities

Genuinely asking, what does this mean?

what?

In Colorado, the big agricultural/ranching areas are the most reactionary.

is there anywhere in the western world where this isn’t the case

I feel like just saying this carries the chance of Donald Trump personally reading it and doing it if only to use it in some speech like “the losers in Ukraine, they say they can’t do it without our money, can’t do it folks. They say I can’t cut their money but I’m cutting it, I’m cutting the money to the [hard T] Ukraine, they can’t do it without us so I say they can’t do it folks.”

Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job

I don’t think this means “Etiquette (please and thank you)”, I think this means “Etiquette (look at this rube using his crab fork to grab pasta, what a yokel)”

…we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

Not entirely convinced this is true of the people who claim 2 sharp teeth means we gotta do factory farming
