And the DND didn’t realize it until now. Sounds about right.

If you aren’t the customer, you are the product. Congrats on being monetized and kinda sorta immortalized as a series of weights.

But he ABSOLUTELY supports the speech he supports!

It was enough of a dumpster fire before it got all musky. After it got the preputial gland the edgelords became MOR and there was no arguing past their mechanical circle jerk of atavism.

In all seriousness, though, a crown corp grocery makes a certain kind of sense if the private chains are driven by profit to the detriment of a large portion of the public.

But newspapers do that all the time.

I’m not sure I understand. Are you suggesting the globe shouldn’t be reporting on this?

“Magic until it’s not” basically sums up the whole Apple user experience.

The AI one is better :trollface:

He fully embraced a post-truth world! Assume EVERYTHING is a lie

Except the stuff he knows is true of course

Can you prove you AREN’T a rogue AI? :p

Curing my addiction? Hell no, I just substituted it with Mastodon and Lemmy!

I care just enough to say I don’t care.

I was repeatedly called a GPT3 bot on Xitter. This was before it was even public.

As a porn site they could maybe go toe to toe with the now much diminished twixxer

HEYO!

I haven’t been keeping up with the changes to X but I checked out their videos site (xvideos, I presume) and it seems like it’s mostly porn with the occasional Tesla shareholder meeting keynote.

The keynotes seem a bit incongruous and I could do without them. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like it’s gone too far downhill.

I wish I could say I was surprised by your nihilistic attitude, at your presumed age, but it’s sadly all too common. As I’ve gotten older and watched the world I have become more convinced of the importance of international order, not less.

To be perfectly clear, and as I’ve repeatedly explained, attitudes like the one you’re demonstrating are the essential reason why things are going downhill. To you and everyone like you: Stop acting like an angry 17 year old who just read Ayn Rand. Grow up.

I do think that religion holds us back – but I’m trying to understand your use of the sarcasm tag. Is the god you worship the military industrial complex and nationalistic exceptionalism? Do you worship The Bomb? Your unquestioning faith in your ‘reality’ seems like a kind of religious fervor.

I am surprised that you’ve continued the conversation for so long without providing anything of substance. Your faith must be unshakeable.

You seem to have an honest belief in international law and humanity.

You say Islam is a death cult, but have you heard yourself?

I am also old enough to remember Rwanda. It reflected a failure of intervention, not the irrelevance of international law. Do you remember the ICTR? Do you remember Jean Kambanda, Colonel Theoneste Bagosora, Georges Rutaganda, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko and the ~60 others indicted for war crimes, many of whom are serving life sentences or have died in prison? You seem to misunderstand how international law – or any law – works. Laws don’t stop criminals from doing crimes, it punishes them for doing crimes.

How about the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which marked the first time a head of state was held accountable by an international court for war crimes? Where’s Charles Taylor now? Rotting in a cell in the UK, that’s where.

Slobodan Milosevic croaked in a cell before his trial was over, but that’s another example of international law holding a leader accountable.

Bibi and his cadre of warmongers will have their turn, but that’s cold comfort to those whose world has ended because their extremist government poked a psychopathic, rage-fueled bear. And before you tell me “they elected them,” no they didn’t. At least half of the people in gaza are too young to vote. Israel is literally dropping bombs on children.

claims about Israel being on colonized land is bullshit rhetoric that doesn’t deserve respect.

Oh, is THAT why you haven’t provided any rebuttals?

You have an opinion and you are welcome to it, but I have backed up my opinion with examples which you have not disputed in any meaningful way.

At the end of the day my positions are this. Israel has a right to exist. Palestine never existed. Arabs lost every war ever fought. Losers don’t get to dictate terms.

Your position is brutal and reductive. The ‘might makes right’ attitude is regressive because it perpetuates ongoing conflict and instability, it promotes the idea that conflicts are resolved through dominance rather than negotiation, it frequently leads to the suppression of human rights and freedoms, as the ruling power prioritizes maintaining control over respecting individual rights. In short, it neglects the principles of justice, equality, and sustainable peace, leading to long-term negative consequences both domestically and internationally.

You say religion is a cancer. How ironic that positions like yours are a big reason why it can be a cancer.

Your views on Arab participation in peace processes are similarly reductive. Israel has similarly rejected Palestinian proposals, for example the Camp David Summit, the Taba Talks and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Lastly, your characterization of Islam reeks of bigotry. Extremism does not define an entire religion, and Islam is practiced by about a quarter of the world’s population – if a significant portion wanted to “wipe out the non-believers,” the world would be a very different place than it is. Such generalizations hinder constructive dialogue and perpetuate hate.

Speaking from my own perspective as someone lucky enough to grow up in a large, multi-cultural city, your statements about Islam hold exactly no water. I’m an atheist. Is ‘killing the non-believers’ done by inviting them to Iftar dinner? By inviting a Rabbi to speak at Iftar dinner about the sacredness of peace and how fortunate we are to live in a peaceful society? It’s clear to me that you have no idea about Muslims. I, on the other hand, have a few Muslim friends and colleagues. I even drink beer and smoke shisha with one, even though it’s haram. Like every other religion, practitioners exist on a continuum. Like every other religion there are bad people who use it to justify bad actions. Religion is just one of many pretexts bad people use to justify atrocious behaviour. ‘National security’ is another big one.

What else have you got?
