Right you are, I am almost complete opposite end of political compass from .ml but still end up having interesting discussions and finding commonalities. To me .world is where the echo chamber dwelling momos live.
A bad workman blames his tools. As much as I have been tortured with pointless PowerPoints, it is incapable of inflicting harm without the arsehole in charge of it.
Distribution ensure integrity of data. Let's say we sign a contract, cryptographically sign it and all that good stuff but then oh no, where we stored your contract went up in fire and now I don't have to honour that contract. (contrived example I know)
To be fair my Windows experience was far simpler than Linux, if less fulfilling. What got me was a combination of constant attacks on privacy, W11 and the enshittification of the UI as well as general Microsoft corporate tomfoolery (have dealt with them for work, not a fan of their monopolistic EEE tactics).
So apparently, a brain daydreaming or one fully immersed in a complex activity don't exhibit that much difference in energy usage, only consuming around 100 calories extra a day for mentally challenging activities.
I appreciate your point of view and you raise a decent point. In a perfect world. Bear in mind this is not USA themselves choosing not to buy oil from Venezuela, this is the USA using its dominant economy and weaponising the dollar by stopping anyone who wants to trade with the USA from purchasing Venezuelan oil. Now let's look at the reasons it came about. Trade or land dispute or other ongoing disagreement? Nope, Venezuela's domestic economic policies were the reason why. To call it anything other than naked imperialism is either denial, ignorance or collusion. And now (basically) the same people want to turn around and feign concern about democratic right and such. Come on now, I would expect to have to connect the dots on Reddit and such but not here.
Imagine believing the mf WaPo, the most obvious of intelligence mouthpieces, on anything concerning foreign policy. Hate to say it but place is more packed full of chumps than Reddit.
I saw the IDF puppet accounts turn, almost on a dime and in unison, from cheering on death and destruction in Gaza to feigning concern and horror over Arab civilian deaths. Hilarious stuff.
As soon as possible couldn't be soon enough to get rid of this pestilence my friend. He never saw a war he didn't like, as if the devastation him and his kind have caused already wasn't enough. Absolutely astounding.
Edit: Not fair to leave unmentioned he (and his ilk, Victoria Nuland) was highly in involved in the Biden administration's handling of Ukraine. It is all the same mfers behind the scenes, if not worse waiting in the wings, and voting ain't doing shit about it. Which is why you're still allowed to do so.
Very well put, no idea why you're getting downvoted. Probably offended someone's sensibility because you didn't worship at the alter of immigration and diversity. But latest research apparently shows we just may be able to acknowledge culture specific issues without giving into racist twattery. Sounds far fetched to me but I like to keep an open mind.
The most unbelievable part is how many momos seem to falling for this utter horseshit, although to me it has to be plants and shills because surely no one is that stupid.
If only not stuffing your face for one meal was a thing.
