To explain why you did so well, so the chumps who didn’t bother have to go and sit in court sometimes, which probably gets them loser points at the next child raping party.

Fuck, this is dark. I’m gonna go hug someone.

Rufiyaa, Rufiyaa, Ru-Fi-yaaaa!

Bangarang!

Thx, did not know that. Always nice to find out something new about Trek.

You’re intimidated by its geometric majesty.

Compromise: Wolf astronaut.

It was good enough for the Kaiser!

…You think Neal Stephenson is shilling for brands online?

Did you read the Blue Ant trilogy and think William Gibson was in the pay of Big Mechanical Calculator?

The beauty of it is that it doesn’t need tracker shit. It works to destroy the US AI bubble even without anything malicious within.

And considering how hard the US researchers have been trying to control the output of their general LLMs, with little success, why would the Chinese have found a way before everyone else even thinks it’s possible?

The really funny part is when they say Russia is still communist. Blue MAGA.

Muslims in all the countries around Turkiye shout louder about US persecution. That’s the reality. China is good at suppressing the shouts of their own ethnic minorities. The sad reality is that propaganda works.

I dunno, if your AIDS drugs get suddenly cut off, you might have a bit of resentment.

Lot of Muslims in Turkiye who do not like US policies in the ME. However, it’s also that they have good economic relationships with China because of geographic proximity.

Australia has great trade with China, and we recently ended a trade war with them to great mutual satisfaction, so that’s why our opinion of China is better than our opinion of the US even though they’re our biggest military ally.

Indeed. Unfortunately if you call for violence against Nazis you get banned. That was the first one I got, for suggesting punching as a solution!

I was not sure, but I do have the impression this is true. I hope spez follows his leader.

Quite right, I got permabanned for something very innocuous after lots of three-day bans for quite strident support for targeted violence against the rich, ie Luigi type stuff.

I think the actual ban was from me pointing out that the people murdered on Bondi Beach were there at a religious event which, while attended by lots of perfectly innocent Jewish people for fine reasons, was organised and funded by a right-wing Zionist group that is quite controversial.

I also made sure to say that it did not excuse the actions of the two killers at all.

It would be like shooting up a Catholic church during the Christmas Mass.

The Roman Catholic Church is responsible for immeasurable pain and suffering throughout history and recently, but most of the people at mass are just there for Christmas stuff; they didn’t run the church.

I appealed the ban, they upheld it, I came here.

You can make a small model of this yourself using a marble and a dribbling hose. Try it.

That is standard now. All calls for violence are banworthy, zero exceptions.

Snap. Welcome home.

Huh. That’s oldschool. 😄

Well, is horse porn a want or a need?
