Yeah he’s been doing that a lot. May he rest in piss.

That was so weird to watch.

The article references two videos; the AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill:

where the worst one particularly ridiculous thing (apart from the obvious) is the totally unironical ChatGPT impersonation. It says “It’s true” unironically. Really, this video wants its watchers to ask ChatGPT how competent Mamdani is. It’s not an oracle ffs. It’s not real!
The other video:
https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/prem_thakker/status/1981150231174746370? They took that one down because of racism.

But really, both videos are total trash both technically and content wise. People should be outraged that their taxes are being wasted to produce this slop (to quote one of the vids).

His obsession with the Peace Nobel prize is getting more absurd by the day. Egomaniac toddler. But something good might come out of it, or at least less bad.

Oh most definitely. But I won’t let that get in the way of having a good laugh.

Fair enough. But I hadn’t posted it for factual value.

My first thought was that this happened many years ago. It would explain a lot…

I wonder what the “deal” is here.

Came here to say pretty much this.

Russia’s economy has proven remarkably resilient

That statement is not thought through. I mean, the same could be said about North Korea or any number of countries, even the USA.

I also would not want one of the biggest countries on the planet + 100 million people to fall into chaos and despair; I truly hope there’s a better way of dealing with it, though I don’t see how if the Kremlin doesn’t participate.

Historically Russia has always tried to prop up its own failing economy by exploiting neighboring countries, even integrating them into their own. Expansionism, Imperialism. A bad choice, long term. For that to work they would need to go (even further) back to feudalism (an almost infinite number of warm bodies to use), and the countries around them would have to stay weak.

I hate that the words “casual” and “casualty” are almost the same yet so different in meaning.

“During this war civilians and historical buildings were casually destroyed.”

Maybe it does make sense.

Just like North Korea hacking bitcoin to prop itself up; but Russia does it with people. Well, with everything really. Any cheap way to exploit and expand its influence, legality notwithstanding. No ethics.

Russia has been repeatedly accused of deceiving citizens from poor countries into signing contracts with its military, written in Russian, which they do not understand.

There is widespread poverty in Kenya and minimal job opportunities.

Local media have reported on Russian recruitment networks targeting poor young men, with many claiming they were tricked or pressured into fighting once they arrived.

Thing I don’t understand: they cannot be good fighters if they’re doing it against their will? But I’m sure the military has tricks to keep the pressure on.

Even so, we have plenty proof of human rights violations in China, especially against Muslim minorities.

I found one single reference to a “project 981” on the internet

Search bubble? I get pages of results. It also goes under different names. And there’s the hot mic moment between Putin & Xi Jinping. But I’m sure you have a counterargument ready against that.

Even so, we have plenty proof of human rights violations in China, especially against Muslim minorities.

I love to be proven wrong btw.

Lol, that’s not how this works. The article does a fairly good job of citing sources, with links; if you disagree it’s up to you to a) substantiate your disagreement (just saying “the claims are out there” is not enough) and then b) prove it.

Even so, we have plenty proof of human rights violations in China, especially against Muslim minorities.

Well, they do if you count Oblast, but there’s a looong way from there to Russia without flying over another country.

Yet that’s exactly what happened. And yes, Kaliningrad Oblast is a part of Russia. Not sure why one would not count that: planes can fly over sea, or start and land right there in Kaliningrad!

Or were you talking about some other oblast?

My way to the Top

Not that I care much about what Reagan said, but if he, too said it, it’s not a party political statement anymore but just common sense.

Plus, to a Republican this is like a double kick in the nuts.

edit: hmm. Tariffs aren’t a bad thing per se - used sparingly and appropriately, in some situations they might make sense.

Sure buddy. Why not. You are naked. We all see it. At this point you’re just closing your ears going LALALALALA
