Bold of them to assume that ICE agents have morals. They joined because they have none to begin with. This is like writing a strongly worded letter to a serial killer to stop killing.

My guess is that you’re not in the US like I am, but I hear so many ridiculous stories and laws over there which are privacy-invasive, because it is not a secret that corporations and governments want data to surveil and manipulate its citizens, and then train AI.

They’re not wrong? It’s an open secret in the business world that information is the new gold.

If something is free, you’re the product.

K comrade.

You’re talking about CIA-orchestrated coups and without popular support. Almost all color revolutions tend to be grass roots movement, albeit have soft power influence from outside.

I almost forgot about dishwashers. I am renting and the landlords are too cheapskate to fix ours.

Cooking your own food is much more fun

Until you have to clean the dishes.

Yes, but the UI in og forums are not great. Better UI and accessibility is the number one appeal of Reddit.

The good old survivorship bias.

Do you mean propagandise the Russian population? The West is already doing it by way of Radio Free Europe, NED and other NGOs. It is not a discussion that comes up often, but on occasions Russian trolls will bring up about color revolutions in Russian sphere of influence that advocate for democratic reforms, which is catalysed by the West through said media and institutions. Hence, for the Russian jingoists and Kremlin, their own propaganda against the West is justified. But if you ask the trolls what is objectively bad with promoting democracy? You will get crickets. That is certainly better than propping up illiberal and regressive groups.

Yup. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme.

I have not logged into my Microsoft for a long time. And I’m too afraid to do so.

Oh I’m not trying to defend or exalt China. I’m saying that we should be like China when it comes to dealing with billionaires. Or even better, be like Vietnam, when the court ordered a billionaire who defrauded thousands to pay in time or be executed.

Hasn’t the leader of The Proud Boys dildoed himself on live TV to “own the libs?”

UBI when?

I could still access .world though.

Quiet quitting is such a bizarre phrase for me as Irish. As long as we do our jobs right, we can do whatever we want. At the end of the day, a job is meant to put food on the table, not be your life. Even some of the worst companies I have worked have a laidback attitude compared to workplaces abroad.

At least China is right about not bailing out their companies when their own property bubble collapsed.

I do. You are talking about how communism is so great, that I am vindicating you how Westerners were desperately risking their lives to get to communist countries.

I mean, sure, those who clawed their way out of the Berlin Wall, vault poled over electric fences in the DMZ, defected with a top secret Soviet plane as insurance to be allowed to stay in the West, and swam the Caribbean to desperately leave communist countries surely love communism.
