  • This seems so astroturfed. The news website, the "Institute for global affairs". It's like AI spat it out... because of course it is. The article is leading, and the supposed report is just a wall of text with a lot of supposition and no sourcing what so ever. Oh sure, there are references, that lead to more gobbledygook.

    Is it time to vet news platform? I know that sounds incredibly dangerous, what with the fifth estate and all, but I think federated platforms should probably whitelist some of its news sourcings, because this is getting ridiculous.

    Am I wrong here?

  • TL;Dr you're a dog whistling fool.

    I challenge you to go live in Gaza and pretend you're Palestinian...

    See how stupid that sounds? Though you're probably so delusional, you think you'd be fine, running around safe and protected areas within Israel screaming "WHERE'S THE APARTHEID?!?!!' Not only that, but your ignorance of geopolitics needs to be broken down as well.

    "basically every Muslim country"... oh, you mean the middle east? That place that keeps getting invaded and overthrown? Why did we invade Afghanistan... again and again? Thank you the three stooges of western geopolitics , the US, France and Britain - the tag team of degenerates in fancy suits. Why was the democratically elected government of Iran overthrown? Oh right, the only thing worse than liberalism, SOCIALISM. Let's help install a a very socially conservative Ayatollah instead... also, let's destroy Iraq and install yesmen - y'know, for oil. Surely that's not a bad idea... it's like Yosemiti Sam shooting and being pushed back over, and over, and over again, as western society takes another geo-political black eye.

    And you wonder why they go against western ideals? It's that problem where sovereignty doesn't mean shit the second you step over the border, and after DECADES of meddling and destroying economies, literally colonizing a place, the entire region becomes authoritarian nationalist, and you go "lol Muslims"?

    Bro, go back to school. Stop being retarded with your smooth brain. Learn what the word "precedent" means in a social historical context. Unless, y'know, you ignore it for a specific purpose...

    "Uh, but they are authoritarian nationalist based on religion, but not the authoritarian nationalism based on religion that I want". I bet there is no LGBTQ persecution in Israel by nationalist, orthodox Jews... right... right? Or here in the west? No? "No, it's the mozlems".

    To conclude: either everyone is free, or no one is free. Any exception is some authoritarian mental gymnastics bullshit by smooth brained westerners who got skullfucked by instituonal parties - and then, and then having the balls to pretend they are fighting against authoritarianism...

    Stfu, bro. You can shove your ignorance, fear mongering, dehumanization and dog whistling straight up your hypocritical, delusional ass. We got healing to do, and you are against that movement - mostly because you won't seek therapy instead of doing stupid hot takes online.

  • You have options depending upon the situation. You can either:

    A. Brace her for the break and slowly take your distance from her. Make her see that you need to leave for the best of the both of you, that using a relationship as a crutch is not a good thing. B. Get her the help she needs, assuming she wants it, either through family, local community, organisation or local government body, and then letting them take the reins. C. Gtfo out, now.

    The last one is reserved for when she tries to manipulate, control and otherwise subvert you by using suicide as a threat. This is a cyclical behavioural pattern whereby she gets validation when successfully subverting you, effectively creating a chain of incentives to continually subvert you. This means it might be impossible for you to reason with her at all and she needs someone else to do that. At this point, you really don't have a choice in the matter.

    Replace pronouns with whatever you want, because this is a human problem and relationships with a basis in perlonged abuse can rarely be salvaged - at least in my opinion. If there's any dealings either part needs to have with each other, say because of shared custody, it should be with lawyers or with other representatives that can mediate.

    Again, you are loved, you deserve respect, you deserve dignity, and the same with her, but if she is abusive and it's widdling down your psyche, you are actively enabling her abuse and harming yourself in the process.

    I feel the need to qualify that I am not a psychiatrist, psychologist, professional consultant or social worker. I just have a bit of experience myself. You should probably get in touch with someone to try and figure out the best solution for your situation.

    I wish you all the best.

  • Laugh all you want, but you know Microsoft will make a TUI version of VSCode and Copilot+ will be implemented into BASH.

  • Bruh, it's a jin. You got cancer 4 times.

  • I read "Microsoft violates children" and I'm sticking with that thought, because it is accurate.

  • Awful people will do awful things and can get away with it. You might need to get away from someone like that at this very moment. If you are aware that you're in a locked in abusive situation and feel incapable of doing anything about it, you should seek out help from people in your vicinity who are stable. I.e people who aren't awful.

    You need to seek out someone trustworthy, dependable, who can help you to a life of independence or at least to get you away from whatever abusive relationship or environment you currently are in. This might be private citizens, organisation or government body depending upon where you live.

    Remember, mental violence is violence, and no matter who you are, you deserve love, respect and dignity. You don't have to be alone in dealing with the consequence after the fact.

    Deep and unconscionable trauma in repeated successions over years can manifest in personality disorders that could take decades to treat. Damage to the psyche is defacto violence and qualifies as such in many courts. Optimally getting out early is key, so don't delay. But remember: it is never too late.

    Please don't wither under someone's shadow or fade into a pit of despair. Your life's light deserves to shine, and it can shine elsewhere.

  • L's in the chat... just not on TeamSpeak.

  • Oh you can promote your optimism for the future all you want, but I don't respond well to optimism, and that's because I've seen the light - or rather the darkness - of a market dependant upon venture capital in league with political elites, an unholy alliance forged in an attempt to try and recoup the losses for investments made in beanie babies. Oh sure, the cocaine, sex workers and ritualistic sacrifice are cool at first, as are membership points that come with it, which you can spend in the cabal gift shop for a sex slave to go, but I cannot in good conscience tolerate the terms of service because it requires citizenry in a supposed state.

    And it because of one thing. Do you know what that thing is?

  • The op and article being sussy baka withstanding, we do understand how the markets work and how balls are pushed forward.

    I however have been greenwashed to before thank you very much and have been jaded enough to consider a life of eco terrorism. I even keep a spare packet of fluoride to sha-shaaw people in the face with in case things get rough.

    I'm watching you, op...

    (PS: In case of mod, /s)

  • No! Now take this slave labour cobalt and partake in the market place of ideas... I said partake! shakes fist

  • How many states made EV's illegal, how much subsidies have been misappropriated by mainstay industries, and what have lobbyists been doing to prevent the fostering of EV technology? That's like, what, 2 decades of corporate meddling and political boot licking for these "job creators"?

    Preventing progress and hampering the US's competitive advantage. Why are they not labelled as traitors yet? The door may already have been closed and China owns that house. How do I know that? Let's check historic precedent in another technological field.

    Most AMOLED and OLED are manufacturers in either South Korea or Japan. Sharp provides Apple with all its panels for instance. This is because both the south Korean and Japanese governments subsidized the shit out of these technologies in the mid 20th century. That's using subsidies to effectively corner markets - which is a big brain move. China may have done this for EV's already.

    This is because Chinese, South Korean and Japanese politicians aren't a bunch of rubes who sold their integrity to the highest bidder and have the wherewithal to see one meter in front of their faces. This is also a problem of neo- and classical liberalism, because they still think that their "free market principles" will prevail.

    Like the bunch of rubes they are.

  • Can't it be both? We're really saving money with new public management.

  • But wait wait... do I see it coming, or is it like a Russian roulette kind of deal?

  • Police SSID's be wild.

  • Russian tzarist and central kingdom belt and road imperialism is of course preferable. /s
