There are no US troops in Palestine

Russian money is directly killing people now, and if people use false equivalence like "everyone bad" then the war keeps going

Russia should be shut off from the Western world

How is that worse? You can always prove that you are the same person by encrypting a message with the same key. There is no way for me to prove whether my Instagram account is really me

And they can update this away any time

I think tipping people for posts is really cool, though. They had a doge tip bot on reddit, but it didn't actually integrate with the network, so apparently when it shut down the owner of the bot just stole everyone's tips

The website gives 403 when accessed from China

People said this about AI generated images like three years ago. Now you have very high quality images generated from a fairly simple prompt. Don't expect it to stay hard and lower quality forever

Reddit blocks VPNs unless you're already logged on

So you're saying we should use Nostr

I often wondered why people gush over it, but never tried it myself. This is actually an article I wanted to read!

There are non-crypto posts on Nostr

Nostr doesn't use a blockchain

Correct, it's decentralized. I don't even care about my Nostr relays. I am well aware of my home server, especially when it starts returning some kind of errors

It's owned by Meta, why would you trust them?

In my experience the only people who find the name Fedora fine are the ones who unironically wear trillbies

I'm sure she would find equivocating the US with Russia very reasonable

I have capital gains, capital losses carryover, foreign investment taxes withheld, bank interest, and the $50 I made on twitch I probably need to file as well.

So that means I need to do the capital gains worksheet to figure out the exact tax

Yet I still file free every year

And get fined because I'm overseas and the mail takes so long to get there the IRS fines me for a late filing

Last time the IRS sent me mail here it took almost half a year for me to receive it

I gave you concrete examples and you respond without any argument

No, we actually ended imperialism.

See: the two world wars ending several empires, the US backing Egypt vs. France and UK over the Suez canal, US support of Indonesian independence, US pressure on Portugal to decolonize Africa, opposition to Belgian control of the Congo, pressure on the French to leave Indochina

The US has done bad things, like controlling the Philippines, but granted the Philippines independence in 1946. It decolonized a lot of its holdings way before the European powers who were still holding on in the '60s and '70s
