And who does that benefit on the large scale?

This isn’t Trump being a greedy idiot. This is systematic destruction of the US from inside out. Can’t say Russia didn’t warn you though:

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the US. We will destroy you from within.”

— Nikita Khrushchev January 18th, 1956

“Extreme form”.

I don’t think you realise how age-privileged your comment is. Chronic pain isn’t extreme or even something only a minority of people encounter, oh no. Most people will know what chronic pain is after some four decades on this Earth, be it mild or severe.

So even if it is just mild pain, you can’t “push through” it.

Chronic pain isn’t temporary though.

I think youre underestimating the amount of toddler minds behind all this. But yeah, the main two most visible ones.

There just a lot more of those toddlers, lot greedier and almost even intelligent idiots behind them curtains who don’t want to be known in any association to the the two most prominent toddlers

Hmm, I wonder if it is actually. I think it’s just a euphemism for it’s wrong how" or “it’s weird how we as people keep allowing this to happen in a democratic world”, but I honestly don’t think it’s sarcasm.

I get the point and I write that way all the time too, but I thought to see what happens if I just stop participating in the pretense of it being weird.

But yes maybe it is just sarcasm, but like the same sort of rhetoric is often used to talk about problems which are sort of too complex and large to easily assert something which should or even could be done.

But yes. Sarcasm.

I’m no small-dicked overweight authoritarian dictator, but if I had to make guesses as to their thoughts, I’d say Putler was on the ropes last year, but since he managed to affect US elections enough that Trump won, Putler basically won.

Now unless Europe takes the agreession or at least strongly unifies behind Ukraine, Ukraine might be forced into some kind of deal. I don’t belive they will go for any, so that’s not gonna work from Putler, despite him making Trump push it.

But since Trump is actively burning down the US, I believe your assumption about a North-American war.

If that happens though, Europe will weaken, and Putler could decide to ally with Xi Pooh, and… I don’t know who the fuck would stop them at that point.

But… if world order is already a bit fucked at that point I propose legalising drugs to make it an actually usable market which will generate wealth (and we should already but no-one listens), because drug markets are global, so then South America might actually start straightening itself out if the cartels could see reason. (They’re brutal, but idk how many of them are actually ideologically fascist more than capitalist.)

I really wish I’m wrong, but I predicted drump’s colonialist ambition over Canada years ago. I also remember being laugh at by everyone around the table at a diner so saying conservatives were making nazism acceptable again. Well guess what.

Me too man. I read an NBCNews article today about Greenland and the way it was written, oh boy. Putler has given Trump a little bit of friendly advise on what sort of propaganda to start spreading. Or Putler is doing it for Trump idk.

But it’s clear they’re trying to influence Greenland and eventually will support independence for it, so it’ll become less stable and better to be annexed in some way or another, by either Putler or Trump.

I’m sure Putler would love a base on Greenland.

Bixby is better at basic tasks on the phone, like a calendar meeting.

Gemini is better at controlling my lights and to talk about something not too objective, like asking about cooking recipes. Or it’s not bad if you need to calculate solution strengths while mixing drinks or smth. But aside from maths and other fixed constants, it’s really shit at any sort of facts.

You can not get a reliable answer to as when a show/movie is airing because the times announced usually shift a bit and the datasets are old. In last December, before Kraven the Hunter was premiering, I asked it when that would be. It told me, in December 2024, that “Kraven the Hunter will premier in May 2024” or something. As in the future tense. And date 6 months in the past.

So yeah.

They’re useful for certain things but they’re still far from anything akin to Jarvis, lol. I’ve been meaning to give the one free month of Gemini Pro a go just out of curiosity at some point to see whether it’s equally shit.

I can definitely see potential in these. It’s pretty nice being able to control my lights just by telling my phone what colour where, how much light. Also I use it for a smart plug on my screen so when I’m watching things in bed I can just hit pause and tell google to shut my screen off for me instead of having to get out of bed or put it on standby (because then the annoying blue led will stay on).

I don’t see how pretending that’s weird is gonna help anyone.

We all know we don’t live in a just world.

We need to try and make it one, instead of pretending we’re living in one which happens to have horrid injustice happening all the time.

That’s literally the very premise of “Idiocracy” you just described, btw.

Haha. I wear cheap Chinese bluetooth literally on my skull like 95% of the time, web when sleeping.

Hope they enjoy my thoughts.

Haha.

I’m not… inexperienced.

Honestly, Lemmy is infested with Russians.

It’s sad how any openness or non-monopolies, slight lack of total moderation and actually trusting the people instantly gets shot down by Russia.

I have a real world equivalent; Gotland.

A large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. Sweden completely demilitarised it at one point. And instantly it got infested with Russian “tourists” and started getting Russian subs passing by.

Sweden re-established a base on the island for this reason.

I’m Finnish. I’m trained for war, literally. I mean, 75% of Finnish adult males are, but, still. I’m ready.

Fucking come at me, Vanja

Yeah.

Check out my last chat with them.

I completely even called out how it’s gonna go, and he played it to the letter.

It’s always the same with those fuckers. All one can do — just like you said — is to waste their time and piss them off a bit.

You might enjoy using вахтера as an insult against them. ~ “Watchman” / “janitor”.

There’s a thing called Синдром вахтёра, “Watchman’s/janitor syndrome” sort of. The connotations don’t translate well, as you can’t perhaps see from how my translator considers this site. https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Синдром_вахтёра

Use your own translator:

You can’t reason with that person.

They’re a Russian troll.

Oh yeah. That looks good even on PC.

Yeah sound’s decent enough.

I haven’t driven new cars since like 2019 so I’m a bit behind and not aware of the most recent developments

Well the most use we ever got out of parking brakes was when driving front wheel drive cars in the winter so you can lock your back tires so you can slide around the snowy corners.

God I miss that now.
