I for one am happy to see our leaders being more open about their true views. It makes you sound a lot less like a conspiracy theorist when you can pull up a clip of them actually saying the thing.

Now we just have to figure out how to get liberals to care. Who am I kidding? They think this way too

My greatest achievement is never once resorting to listening to the radio in my 20+ years of driving. CD disc man, then an MP3 CD player, then a 32MB MP3 player, then a 10GB MP3 player followed by a series of iPods and iPhones. Even millennials these days lambast the state of music, but I contend that there is more good music being put out every year, it’s just harder to find. Sometimes I find it, sometimes I don’t, but at least I’m not listening to the same 40 tracks on repeat every day. And at least I’m not listening to whatever is considered “classic rock” these days. Please comrades, if I ever tune into a classic rock station and say, “this is my jam”, just put me out of my misery.

Sorry if I unnecessarily jumped down your throat comrade. It just sounded like you were, “wah, the Russians are saying they are French soldiers, the French are saying they are freelance citizens”. Maybe I’m just jaded, but I don’t believe western governments anymore. BUT, I will admit that I also didn’t trust the state department when they were saying Russia was going to invade Ukraine any day either, so what do I know. My assessment was that Putin was smart and that it wouldn’t be easy and that they would incur heavy losses, so they wouldn’t do it. It turns out I was wrong and after those heavy loses, Russia is gaining the upper ground. I guess living in the west, and knowing how much of our tax dollars is fueling the MIC, that I thought our weapons were a little more capable than they are turning out to be. My main point is that we are all subject to propaganda, myself included. And we are heavily propagandized in the west, so pervasively that we don’t even realize it. Either way, listen to both sides, make an assessment of those sides based on evidence and materiel conditions. If I had to wager a $1000 on it right now, my money is on everyone on that list is a French special force being funded directly by whatever is the French equivalent of the CIA is.

Here, I’ll break it down for your lib brain hopped up on western propaganda. These are French special forces just like US special forces have “served” in Ukraine. They are essentially spies trying to assist Ukraine, operating under the presumption that if they are captured they deny any official involvement with the French government. The Russians know this, the Ukrainians know this, the NATO allied western forces know this, especially the US because NATO is the US. Russia is calling it out because it’s an obvious provocation to war. It’s just you that aren’t clued in, and the state department’s talking points are that they aren’t part of an official operation because, gasp!, that would mean we are at war with Russia. Nah, it’s still just another proxy war, one of many in a long line dating back to immediately after WWII.

I doubt it will lead to another WWIII, but Russia is going to use it for their propaganda because it also happens to be true. Wait, you do realize that all governments and media do propaganda all the time, right?

I know that you don’t know and that’s what’s so frustrating. I’m so sick of you holy than thou liberals. You really are more despicable than conservatives who are simply lizard brain sadists. Simply look at how many deaths we are responsible for compared to LITERALLY EVERY OTHER COUNTRY OR HORRIFIC REGIME EVER. How much suffering we are responsible for, how many people we have incarcerated compare to LITERALLY EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. How many homeless people we have, children suffering from food insecurity, racial disparities at all levels of society from access to education, housing, food. How everyone is always toiling away so that they don’t end up homeless and on the streets. Medical debt, educational debt. Things that don’t even exist in actual civilized societies. And that’s not even touching the surface of our horrific foreign policy since our existence. Constantly looking for new people to enslave and exploit.

I’m tired of making excuses for ignorant liberals after seeing their reaction to Oct. 7th. Yeah, you’re the pathetic product of your material conditions, but if you can’t see that you are the German populace quietly supporting the Nazi regime in 1930s Germany then truly history is meant to repeat itself.

I love it when both libs and conservatives don’t realize that I understand their position better than they do.

And I’m sorry, but if you are an American and think anything less than, “holy shit, we are the most evil society to ever exist” then you are either incredibly ignorant or a psychopath.

Read some theory. It covers all of that

Yes, just look at the BRI compared to the US interventions in the global south

Yes, the US should close ALL of their foreign military bases and just let the countries “do their thing”. The world would demonstrably be a better place. We are the baddies

I think the libs are dug in on Ukraine. It’s like “vote blue no matter who”, don’t think about at all, just blind support

The mind of a liberal is truly an amazing thing. Defending corrupt Nazis to own the tankies? Russia-bots? Putler? Incredible.

You’ve done your part today brave soldier. May you rest smugly tonight. Content in the knowledge that you don’t have to know or understand anything because the state department will feed you your talking points for tomorrow through your favorite corporate media channel.

We know that you, and other liberals, would do the same because you are doing it right now for Ukraine and have always supported fascists over anyone and anything that challenges capital or the status quo. That’s one of the many reasons we despise liberals. Arming Nazis is always bad, why is this so hard?

The level of violence has always been determined by those in power.

I always like seeing scientific research that benefits or confirms techniques used for cooking. Anecdotally, I started using RDT a couple months ago and it has completely solved my grinder’s static issues. 2-3 spritz of water from a cheap glass spray bottle and my static issues were gone. I single dose and occasionally a wet bean or two will get stuck in the hopper but that’s a minor issue compared to staticky grounds going everywhere and sticking to everything.

Hahahaha, I’m dying! I went to YouTube to find a video about high-temperature gas cooled reactor designs and found this very informative video from a professor in Illinois: https://youtu.be/_mJ3S-VQuHY?si=tNIO1F4NluetZQ1c. He goes over the basic design and benefits of them compared to Gen 3 reactors and then finishes the video, which was published 4 years ago, by saying that they are being tested out in labs and if they prove useful and commercially viable then maybe we will see them rolling out in “30 to 40 years”! And China did it in 4, embarrassing 😂

I’m interested to dig into how the HTGR works. I have what I would call an “average redditor” level of understanding about how graphite and heavy water regulated reactors work but I’m not one of those let’s go all in on nuclear Andys so I’m not up to date on the latest designs.

My main issues with nuclear are the safety, costs compared to other green solutions like solar and wind, what to do about the waste and ensure that it is stored safely for the centuries or millennia that it needs to be stored safely, and how/where the raw materials are mined (see France wrt Niger). The article makes it out that this design improves safety so that’s good. I’m curious to look into how much it costs compared to the Westinghouse designed reactors that China is building (has built recently?) per kWh.

Hahahahahahahaha, oh that’s a good bit. I have never seen better proof of “cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds” than when it comes to Ukraine and Israel. Zelensky came to power after a right wing coup orchestrated by the CIA, his corrupt government has pilfered billions of dollars in aid, and he’s suspended elections. I can’t wait for a couple years from now when these same libs are making excuses for Trump suspending elections and the Supreme Court eliminating presidential term limits.

Every dollar spent on the IRS brings in $5-9 in increased revenue by actually enforcing existing tax law. If this passes it will cost the American taxpayers between $71.5-128.7 billion dollars to blow up Palestinian children. That is what every lawmaker, and Biden if he signs it, is voting for. That much money could pay for free college for everyone currently enrolled for 1-2 years. Fuck Biden and this morally depraved genocidal government.

Once x86 macOS became stable around snow leopard I switched from Linux to macOS full time on my mobile machines. For years home brew was a shining light to get a decent tool chain installed to be able to do development. But somewhere around the time they changed to naming macOS releases after places in California, both home brew and macOS started changing in ways that made it harder to maintain a stable development environment. Why and when did it start deciding to upgrade every package I have installed when I try to install a new package? It regularly broke both mine and our developers’ machines and I finally had enough of both. Stay away from home brew if you want your working development environment to continue working 6 months later. It WILL break when you need it most and cost you hours if not days of work to fix. I’ve never ran home brew on Linux but it’s honestly not anything I would ever consider even when it worked well.
