Where’s track_shovel in this thread?

Him being afraid of debating Harris again makes me believe he’s a little less braindead than I could assume, lmao.

Is wishing it’d be against a coffin against the rules of that community?

Something-something a thousand monkeys with typewriters demented gramps spouting random bullshit. Given enough time, they are sure to produce something that sticks.

We was surprised that Hezbollah used pagers, a thing so outdated that only some select professions still use it, but we choose to navigate our lives following a 2k years old scripture.

It is curated by our posters though, and the most what is posted there is of a higher quality, thanks to people who put that effort.

It is, absofuckinglutelly.

It’s just the poor execution of a poor joke. The base is that conflict over a girl in a first grade, then anon diverts our expectations by saying he is a teacher. Pretty basic and srupid in itself, and anon failed at delivering that imho.

Wait, what? Anon is an adult and beats a firstgrader over a girl child? Whaaaaaaaaaaaa

If the Reich is ethernal, their sleep should be too.

Glad to hear your points fleshed out.

As I read this thread and your response to my jaggernaut quote, I feel like it’d be okay to reduce my view of Google from an american pov (and I’m russian lol) to some artifact from a folklore tale, like a sure-striking sword. The carrier of such pointy thing concluded it pierces the heath of their enemies by itself and never fails, but is oblivious to other properties it has. They would have a great time weilding it, occasionally getting a king’s contract and their daughter’s hand, but them putting their whole life on the line depending on a behavior of such an unpredictable magic thing. That is a very insecure position to be in. And anti-trust legistations are kinda nice, but touting them as an adequate and a timely measure sounds kinda weak in a world where corpos like Big Mouse can shape and abuse patent law to it’s profits, and Google isn’t better.

That post wasn’t US-specific. And there is not that much ‘men are assholes’ rhetoric as there’s a screaming about that from the right, internationally, intentionally. This issue though is overblown to recruit folks under their banner.

I suppose you write in a good faith, although a german person defaulting to the US party system (Democrats with a big D) sounds a bit off.

Everyone is fucked right now by the government and\or the capital, whatever country you choose, in a small or a big way, and feel like they deserve a better deal. Complex answers are hard to internalize and they lead for you to see that your enemy is a big corpo of the government and you alone can’t do anything about it. Unless you have a circle of people that thinks the same, that makes you either a lone Rambo or a suicide hotline client. And male loneliness is a proved pandemic, so you’d probably not have these.

Where biggots win big is reducing that to a simple misdirected pointer at who is to blame, like, your problem is immigrants, your problem is blacks or jews, your problem is people like you and you can actually bash them until their skull caves in. You can misgender transpeople and push them into hating themselves more. You can dehumanize people with special needs and they can’t fight back. You can reduce women to pets and beat them up when they misbehave. And feel like a winner, feel like you earn yourself the right treatment by pushing off these parasites, these pests from the ladder you are climbing. They are your competitors, they are given privileges instead of you, your hatred is just, and if it takes strangling a disabled black woman who eats you taxes it’s a moral and right thing to do.

That’s it. Those who actually cause problems make you target your comrades, and make it look so simple you can help your cause by spitting in a hamburger that arab person orders at your joint. They put illusion of small power in your hands, and you cum hard at the mere prospect of it making you and the world better.

That mirage of a distant oasis is what keeps the right going on, and it’s very easy to get into believing it’s real. And it doesn’t help that an imaginary better world of thr past patriarchy is where they feel they could’ve got better chances in. And by selling, successfully, that dream of the world where they could’ve been carried into a comfortable living by just having a dick, the regressive right wins over young men times and times again, and there’s still no big movement to counter that like feminism fought to organize for women, for many reasons, but mostly because we learnt the toxic masculinity from the childhood and we can’t show we are weak and we need that. We just need to become chads, and if we aren’t naturally given such a status like a fuckable fit body, we may take it at someone’s expense by drugs and rape.

That is the mental prison many get pipelined in without any easy way to escape.

That is an interesting argument to have, and I choose to disagree with you. Besides what’s told in the article, my own problem with the likes of Google is that this amount of corporate power makes them, like oil barons, an international governing body that affects policies worldwide. They can unintentionally, like Facebook in Myanmar, enable genocide by slacking on getting bhirma-languaged moderators and just not giving a damn about what they give platfrom for. Like a butterfly effect, something decided in Silicon valley may cause a tornado on the opposite side of Earth. And supporting Google we delegate such power to their board of directors we can’t even choose, let alone impeach. They are akin to kings blessed by a god of capital and have more reach than modern hereditary monarchs in spite of that being not as obvious and direct. The Algorythm deciding what to show you, may it be ads or an answer to your question, controls you and your worldview on the level a step higher than the resources they reference. Like, we all know there’s this crazy Conservapedia, and now imagine, that it’s the first result in every google search, everything you want to ask the internet about is explained by insane rightwingers. Google chooses not to do that, to rank it down, thanks, but they can change that at any point and we wouldn’t even know, because they are completely closed to external review. That’s nice they are kinda aligned with what the US+Europe do for now, but as we see with Twitter getting musk-off with it being a propaganda vehicle, we somehow forget that it’s a nearly irrelevantly small spot compared to a jaggernaut like Google that is The Internet, the start page for billions of people, and it navigates the decision making of almost all of our world now, while, uhm, building their business around reselling that influence to third parties for money. Right now, they plan to ban adblocking in Chrome and their sole real competitor Mozilla is majorly paid by them, they also has a saying on how we use our phones\tablets due to android popularity, so they are a judge and the executioner of how we use the common internet we live our digital lives in. And they succeed at flying under radar for how long they exist.

That’s actually frightening to think how much power they hold, and that the things in the article is them holding themselves back to appear neutral, reasonable and uninvolved. At the same time, I suppose, even the coming US elections won’t shape the world just as much as the politics of Google’s board of directors. And, if they’ve wished so, they could pick a winner just by what ads and resources they show to most of the voters.

The power of an american corporation can’t be good for americans (and the world) if it isn’t even controlled by them. It’s just their interests don’t explicitly cross those of the US. But you can guess that if there’s something really uncomfortable to Google, they have enough connections and bribed politicians to undo it in it’s uterus.

Eating shit, vomiting and masturbating while dictating your manifesto in detail.

Bleh, I’m grateful for I lived long enough to see people comparing charging stations’ prices like they did with gazoline ones, casually, like it’s a normal thing now. One additional advantage here though is that no one can mix piss and water with your electricity input like it has been done with gas.

Or they just wanted it being called Twitter in legal papers targeted at Musk to enrage him once more.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

I’m seeing him blasting ‘Out of Space’ by Prodigy on his dj deck.

For them he was like a black nazi. He just stumbled upon a group of those who weren’t in on his bit and didn’t know he is a privileged special guest. That’s been said, he had an incredibly long run in that role in a military context, I could’ve lost a lot of bets with him if I cared about the guy.
