I fucking hate AI write ups! It’s always the same sentence structure which has “not this or that, but such such.” I’m not inherently opposed to AI, but seriously, I dread what will literacy be like for decades to come because even art and writing will be outsourced to AI. This will blunt even the most basic writing skills of humanity! I’m starting to sympathise more and more with John from “Brave New World”. The “savages” have more soul than those who live in technology.

I won’t be surprised if this is true, but right now I’d take this claim with a grain of salt. In war, both sides smear each other with extremely exaggerated claims. “Truth is the first casualty of war” as the saying goes.

Poland has a certain… reputation…which is why they haven’t got much racial diversity.

You do realise that governments could either force companies to disclose data, or buy information from data brokers? And big American techs are politically involved by lobbying to dilute laws protecting people? What made you think that American big techs are as innocent as you thought

Also, if you think your data goes for “commercialisation” purpose, think again. Politicians buy data from firms to study the voting patterns and beliefs of individuals to sway voters. See the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

That’s what I am trying to say. Americans still think individualism is the ultimate goal because that is what their country was founded upon.

Propaganda but also, it is just that America was explicitly founded on liberal, individualistic values; although is now considered conservative in Europe and elsewhere.

Instead of book burning, it’s book banning that modern fascists do. It’s less ominous and less obvious.

This is what I’ve thought about for the longest time. Imagine the fishes getting killed by depth charges and torpedo blasts. The bombs landing on land and cratering it, killing the burrowing rabbits, insects and other underground creatures. I’ve always wondered if we have inadvertently killed animals that could have compounds with medicinal value, or just extincted a rare animal, by war. These animals would have no idea what’s going on. The bullets, bombs, planes and tanks are like spacecraft for them, as we would view of spacecrafts lasering us from heaven.

Exactly. People want drama so crimes are more often reported by the media.

I first heard about the fat Thursday tradition from my Polish friends. I didn’t know they use to fuel their heating /s

I really fucking hope that this Munich security conference isn’t our time’s “Munich Agreement”.

The US also sanctioned the ICJ for trying to investigate Israel, and the judges find it practically impossible to buy anything.

Earphone jacks are last resort for me.

Even in my own investment portfolio, I limited my exposure from US equities and invested more in European, Japanese and Canadian.

It’s gold and silver, they are precious metals, therefore they are always gonna go up even with occasional dips. As someone mentioned, the price drop that happened was manipulated for insider traders, who bet on the price drop, to make sure they make money. I just bought more shares on investing in gold and silver.

We wish this happened but it didn’t.

Sorry to be a downer, but the UN General Assembly resolutions and votes are non-binding. The UNGA also voted to condemn the US invasion of Iraq and Russian invasion of Ukraine, and yet the aggressors were not sanctioned or reprimanded.

I like how Ukraine is able to deliver precise strikes deep in Russian territories. It goes to show there are moles in Russia who are willing to help the right side of history.

Slava Ukraini!

It is sad and tragic that a once respectable and influential religious group steeped in culture and history, became a lackey of Kremlin.

That’s why in spite of protests against Trump, we should not forget the true power behind the throne, the ones who actually pull the strings. Trump is only the patsi. This isn’t fascism in the traditional sense where one man runs the show, it is the faceless oligarchs who do.

I think that’s why it is crucial to also include the anti-oligarchy message alongside the “no kings” messaging.
