Not surprising.

From personal experience, you find out pretty quickly that most of your peers are hypocrites that are rewarded, rather then punished.

Legally speaking if some one interfered or resisted wouldn’t they be justified?

Depends, some states protect interfering and resisting to a reasonable degree others don't. Got to check state laws to be on the safe side.

Not a lawyer, btw.

You see 'Genocide Joe' had to be defeated for vague reasons I will not explain. No, I will not address that his opponent explicitly supports ethnic cleansing, and war. Instead, I will call you a genocide supporting piece of shit.

/s

All the people who said to 'punish' the Democrats by not voting or voting for Russian assets Jill Stein or Donald Trump.

History will not forget your kind.

Ya. . . About that. . .

Stronghold, Stronghold: Crusader, Stronghold: legends and Stronghold 2 are all excellent for LAN games.

No clue if Stronghold 3 or Stronghold: Warlords support LAN.

Also I'd like to remark that Stronghold: Kingdoms is free-to-play pay-to-win trash, avoid it.

I agree with you.

The question is if it will be to far gone at that point.

I do think that the rest of the US is not that far gone. Even if the Trump fandom is a lost cause.

attacking the U.S. in ways that will economically starve the country until 10-15% of the voters realize this has all been idiocy and drag those responsible out of office and ban all responsible ever holding a public office again.

Wishful thinking.

These bastards are spin masters that have conditioned their fandom to automatically assume all bad things are the fault of DeMoCraTeS, Woke-isms and foreigners. The mere thought that "their guy" could harm them is nearly impossible to comprehend. The people most responsible for such a disaster will thrive in the chaos they cause.

This timeline fuck'n sucks.

“Netanyahu wanted to escape justice. This is the only reason we are facing the regime coup and this bloody war. This is a dangerous mixture,” Shraga told CNN.

Netanyahu had been scheduled to testify in his corruption trial on Tuesday, but the hearing was canceled due to the resumption of military activities in Gaza just hours before he was due in court. The prime minister denies any wrongdoing.

. . .

Over 70% of Israelis supported negotiating with Hamas for an end to the fighting and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, in exchange for the release of the remaining hostages, the Institute said. Notably, a large proportion (61.5%) of voters from Netanyahu’s Likud party supported continuing the second stage of the ceasefire deal, it said.

Really hope the protestors are successful and oust that Netanyahu dipshit.

Hopefully the days of voters allowing their politicians to do anything they want without consequence is over.

lmao.

Yes, I'm sure Donald "You'll never have to Vote Again" Trump is working hard to make that a reality, good job.

Why does Thaler want to assign copyright to a non-human so badly, when he could simply take the credit himself?

Article tag line: "Stephen Thaler’s series of high-profile copyright cases has made headlines worldwide. He’s done it to demonstrate his AI is capable of independent thought."

imo, 10 bucks says Thaler is doing this so he can sell his AI construct as "you can copyright DABUS's output".

That is why I put "genocide enabling" in quotes.

I'm sure the people being deported for supporting Palestine are very happy the "genocide enabling" Democrats lost.

I genuinely can’t think of any reason, outside of corporate interest to push engagement.

On Reddit, I found that blocking people by account age and link karma noticeably improved the site. edit: For example, blocking 1 year old accounts with more than 100k link karma. /edit Mostly helped me filter out karma farmers from my feed that did nothing but repost memes or low effort shitposts.

Of course, not having total karma publicly tracked might make reposting a nonissue.

What came first? The chicken or the egg?

Did the system that created the conditions people find themselves in come first. Or did the people running the system create the conditions that they find themselves in?

People in this context appears to be plural, thus I don't see how Montreal_Metro's take is Great Man Theory.

The system sets the conditions of who is going to be empowered or rewarded for their actions and positions.

Ultimately, any system is operated by mere mortals who will arbitrarily reward and punish people based on their own bias, morals and desires. Systems only work so long as the people manning them follow the rules. Systems only last if the people running it punish rule breakers.

According to all of history, corruption, apathy, and pure human greed and ingenuity will gradually eat away any system, economic and political, until it collapses. Only for the failing system to be replaced by a "better" system, which begins the cycle again.

If basic economics get you upset, then alright.

Extracting free resources of the land

Not to be contrarian, but there is a cost to extract those "free" resources; like labor, equipment, transportation, lobbying (AKA: bribes for the non-Americans), processing raw material into something useful, research and development, et cetera.

Pretty much this.

I worked retail during COVID. Watching people, somehow, find it within themselves to become more rude, demeaning and aggressive was awful.

Hilarious to see my comment removed.

I don't see how that comment is offensive unless you purposely conflate Russia to mean "Russian citizens" rather than the very clearly intended "Russian Government".
