I mean, the mere fact that you have to reach for two of the most poverty stricken and lacking in natural resources countries in the world to compare with literally the richest country in this world in both money and natural resources is in itself pretty damn indicative of the failure of the US system to guard from giving the incompetent and the thoroughly corrupt all of the power.
The US public has been protesting pretty much non stop since the 60s.
Their politicians have responded not by addressing the grievances of the people, but by increasingly criminalizing nonviolent protest to the point that it’s often classified as literal terrorism.
To call the US system a representative democracy is naive to the point of being downright farcical and has been for several decades.
Is it just me or is drawing out a supreme court ruling like the results episode of a tv talent show a really weird way to deal with an attempted coup?
Headline: insinuates that it’s a legitimate attack only on Hamas leaders*
Article body: 6 dead, none of them Hamas leaders according to Hamas.
*which is itself bullshit. Hamas isn’t just a terrorist organization, it’s also the government of Gaza.
Say what you will about the politics of said government, but even if only those leaders were targeted and killed, assassinating politicians and diplomats in a neutral third country is some REALLY fucking blatant war criming!
To distract from how their awful food made you cover your yard in vomit 🤝
gastroturfing
You mean like when you cover your yard in vomit?
The term first appeared in 1984 as the topic of a public debate at the annual meeting of AAAI (then called the “American Association of Artificial Intelligence”).[2] Roger Schank and Marvin Minsky—two leading AI researchers who experienced the “winter” of the 1970s—warned the business community that enthusiasm for AI had spiraled out of control in the 1980s and that disappointment would certainly follow
Makes it even MORE infuriating that all of Silicon Valley and most politicians are deliriously bullish on replacing all creative, journalistic, and investigative (amongst others) work with AI slop🤦🤬
Close:
The artwork was quickly covered up by large sheets of plastic and two metal barriers, under the guard of two security officers
Seeing my country’s (already shamefully atrocious) foreign minister and former prime minister next to that ambassador of evil is fucking nauseating! 🤬
Yeah, the US has ALWAYS been super authoritarian in its international dealings and has gone full fascist at home and abroad.
It’s not the pot calling the kettle black. It’s the leaking barrel of nuclear waste in the municipal water supply calling candy unhealthy.
Doesn’t read beyond the headline
Hell yeah! Feed those fish, Pope Bob! Feed them good!
By going inside. Works for the ones here in Denmark 🤷
Yeah, you can’t go by the minimum requirements if you want to actually ENJOY games. With a RTX 3060TI, I got decent fps at 1080p with medium settings last I played TW3.
A GTX 770 might technically be able to run it, but it would struggle mightily to hit 30fps at minimum settings on minimum resolution, let alone with the next gen update and/or any mods…
Btw, since you’re gonna be nitpicky enough to choose the very farthest year in my decade range to make your specious argument that gaming PCs are cheap, I might as well be even more nitpicky and point out that TW3 was released on PC in May of 2015 and as such is more than a decade old.
Spoken like somebody who hasn’t shopped for a decent used car recently.
Ok, you got me 😁
It costs the equivalent of 8 and a half months of rent for me.
Have multiple computers
Must be nice…
Computers aren’t super expensive.
They are if you want to play any games from the last decade on them. Hell, a top of the line graphics card alone costs as much as a decent used car!
Graz, in Austria where people speak German and there are no kangaroos
Mostly checks out, but going to need confirmation on that last one.
I don’t know where to even BEGIN adequately refuting that whole wall of nonsense, so I won’t waste any more time on you to do so. Have the day you deserve.
I don’t think you being reactionary to a far-right whose not present here, or the letter writers trying to preach to the far-right from a “corrective left” perspective of professionals in the top end of town works.
Good thing that none of that is happening, then.
It’s hot air
Back to the self-description, I see.
The far-right aren’t going to read the edicts past down from on high and see the error of their ways
Public figures tend to react to media pressure and other public figures taking a public stand tends to create such pressure. This is politics 101 stuff.
It’s a totally pipe dream leftism that assumes “being a scold” does anything but push people right.
So what do you suggest, then? Never speaking up about harmful lies and the suffering they cause? Because that’s DEFINITELY not going to convince anyone.
I mean take yourself - you couldn’t even handle my original comment pointing that out.
Again with the ridiculous strawmen. You were wrong and I pointed it out. The only one unable to “handle” anything seems to be yourself.
Look at all the time we’ve wasted here just because you had an “I’ve detected prejudice” error.
Again, not the case. It doesn’t say anything good about your point that you need to keep insisting on two or three strawmen to make it.
This is just all the stuff the left gets wrong, that feeds into the far-right populism. We need an alternative ti being scolds
Yeah, right. Telling them that they’re harming people forces them to double down because that’s how interpersonal communication works 🙄
You’re invoking this comic in spite of pretending to be a leftist yourself:
Russia might be, but that bar is lower than the Mariana Trench tbh…
