It’s not that it’s more volatile, but that the volatility is coming closer to home (and 24 hour news amplifies it).

South America is at its most peaceful in about 100 years, South East Asia currently only has 1 war ongoing, while slightly up from 0 in 2010, is still lower than most of the last 100 years.

Africa is more stable overall and developing better for most people, with some exceptions.

Although if you mean volatile as “the US is no longer sure it can curbstomp any likely military opposition”, then yes. That is now true due to other nations’ improvement, and changes to asymmetrical warfare capabilities.

I think the reporters at [House of Saud](https:// houseofsaud.com) mentioned that Oman had been consulted by Iran near the start of the conflict, and Iran’s stated goal is Oman and Iran together control shipping through the strait.

Equally though, Oman has been pretty content to sit back and not draw the ire of either side which is sensible enough too. Besides, for a smaller Middle Eastern nation it’s not as if its government openly supporting either side would win it much favour.

LLMs tend to be synchophantic and can’t judge or give feedback effectively.

Plus they can fail at tasks as simple as telling me how many kids Queen Victoria had.

They never hold their own line, but cave and bow. Which in turn makes the one inputting to it weaker.

Abiut whatever they like.

It strengthens the psychic net of the world that will protect against the potential TREACL summoned apocalypse.

If they were real has no implication on the reality of any diety (or deities) let alone the Abrahamic God, Yahweh.

To add for others, electrons orbiting is a convenient assumption - really they’re more a delocalised cloud of negative charge that exists in various bits of space known as “orbitals”.

Not orbiting in the way we’d understand it from planets.

Capitalists have capital, which they invest in legislative capture to create a more favourable environment for capital.

It’s capitalism unrestricted, since there is no restriction on what capital can do once enough has been accumulated.

I don’t know if it’s true, but I think I heard that in terms of transitions in the last decade, FtM outnumbers MtF.

Absolutely should.

But the EU would like to continue to benefit from US military power and espionage while getting to pretend it is more moral. If the EU were to more overtly break with the US it would have to dramatically reformulate its neo-colonial economics.

Yes, they should.

Trumo’s threat to impose new, higher, tariffs on EU for starting to legislate against US tech monopolies and support local startups show how it would go.

But better to put it forwards under the chicken taco and make headway, and then future US leaders (if any) would have to make open moves against environmental measures.

About 20.

More if you include oral, manual, and the like.

If you’re living in one of those very conservative on women’s dress Islamic nations (i.e. Middle East or Central Asia) then there are cultural limits imposed beyond the baseline of the religion.

A Senegalese Muslim woman in colourful patterned headscarf and matching dress is following what Islam requires.
Some places have kept, or imposed, much stricter controls on women’s dress (amongst other things). And while they might choose to wear more colourful ones, many of these countries (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Bahrain, through to Pakistan and Afghanistan) turn a blind eye to femicide and are plagued by honour killings.

Socially constructed idea varies by society.

Who’d’ve guessed?

You’ll find very colourfully yet modestly dressed Muslim women in Indonesia, India, Kenya, Senegal, and more.

Do you plan to only do things with romantic partner?

Why do you think you need a romantic partner?

… A better question would be: “what do you define as a friend?”

Aye, only Protestantist Christianity (if it can be called that) and mormonism are worse.

The True Church of our Lord Father is Ethiopian Orthodoxy.

There’s a surface level understanding that racism is bad.

But that’s seen as having no impact on holding strong, negative, stereotypes about other ethnicities and cultures.

And tends to be, in many cases followed up with “it’s not a prejudice/racism, it’s a fact!” =(

Sadly there’s a lot of anti-African, anti-South East Asian, anti-Japanese & Korean, anti-Turkic, antisemitic, sentiment floating around in general in the PRC.

White man who lived in China here chiming in.

The racism, or at least prejudices and a lack of understanding that cause racism, are very real.

Asia benefited from being near the top of the racist hierarchy of lies that Europeans instituted in the 19th century and also mostly learn about Black people from Hollywood films. (There’s also a really odd trend of New Right and crypto-fash talking points getting popular and spread around Chinese social media.)

In China at least, dating is seen as valid only in the path to marriage, and family and kids is an expected and socially impressed upon goal. To the point where plenty of women in China have kids they don’t want because of familial and social pressure.

At the same time, Asian society is very colourist which combined with having ingested the racist hierarchy somewhat and only really knowing Black people and culture from Hollywood isn’t a great start.

Rounding it off, I China at least is a desire for in group marriage. Foreigners are seen as a risky choice, who could leave and don’t share the same cultural values (regardless of the truth of it).

White people get more of a benefit of a doubt, but there’s still pressure against a Chinese-White relationship. I’ve heard of plenty of families putting pressure that ens inter-ethnic relationships, and there is definitely more pressure against Chinese-Black relationships. (Both cases also, sexistly, exacerbated when Chinese women, foreign man.)

Don’t think this is anything new or not know, sadly.

If the family is supportive, things work a lot better - unsurprisingly. But with Asian value of family, if the family are openly against it, it’s very unlikely to work out.

I thought it was a common first name because of all the fooling around in the Cyberdog dressing rooms?

No, the age of America is over.

The Trump preaidencies aren’t a radical break from the past, he’s just an unveiling of it’s darkest, ugliest, impulses and the logical conclusion of its ideals.

Maybe European mainstream leaders can convince themselves to get back into bed with US imperialism, as we benefit from it so much, but US in the eyes of the people never recovered post Iraq II, and across the whole world the US is now primarily seen as the demagogic bully that it is.

The US must learn to get along with its neighbours and treat other nations and people with respect.
