fun violence

As opposed to being disappeared without identification just based on your skin colour.

Yeah, we had them forever.

For me, the only practical consequence has been that when I forgot my driving licence at home, I could show my ID and the cop at the traffic stop could check my licence status.

Release the Epstein files, break up monopolies with executive orders, jail executives who are responsible for social murder and declassify all classified info that is only classified to cover the asses of billionaires.

Japan had an aircraft carrier fleet rivaling the US, better carrier fighter planes than the US, and were occupying a lot of China, who was a peer opponent. It also took a US-USSR alliance to take them down.

Russia on the other hand is able to wreak a lot of havoc, and is also good on some technological fronts, like drone warfare, espionage and ballistic missiles, but it has recently lost a lot of its fleet against an opponent with no navy, and is stuck in trench warfare with equipment that in WWII would be the equivalent of muskets.

This whole posturing is because Russia ran out of easily recruitable people, and needs internal justification to start throwing in conscripts as well.

Oh, BTW it’s “Wunderwaffe”, if you want a “Wunderwaffle”, go to Brussels, they put strawberries and cream on it so high it won’t fit in your mouth.

Great for UTIs, or getting rid of them?

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if I got an UTI after jamming up my peehole.

Yeah but they are taking your data from the laptop your mum bought yesterday and put all the family vacation pictures on. Mum didn’t know she had to kill off OneDrive or Microsoft will hoover up and monetise your memories.

Please don’t jam the jam in your ass

I just reread my comment, I think I wrote in a way that could be misunderstood and I was unclear. I wanted to say, the thing that is already happening might happen more, not “please kill politicians”.

I was just saying that crazy people already started killing left-wing legislators. I don’t think Trump getting shot would be good for the US or the world either.

I’m against releasing addresses, I’m just mentioning that that kind of political violence is not a hypothetical, it’s already happening…

Crazy people could start killing legislators like last month

Edit: What I mean is: Crazy people might start killing legislators, like it has already happened months ago.

Yeah, Turing had papers on machine learning at the same time he was establishing other basic concepts of computer science.

More like the Sturmabteilung, but that’s splitting hairs.

My history teacher used to say that the Garibaldi Redshirts had their red shirts so that their comrades didn’t lose their bravery in battle from seeing that they were wounded and bloody. On the same note, the Sturmabteilung wore brown pants so that…

I hate how hard it is to find “old news”.

I feel it’s deliberate.

I would definitely believe if Trump was tariffing tariffs though.

Classic case of “history is written by the victors”. You only call it antimatter because it lost, if it won, you’d call it matter.

Oh yeah, the “peacekeepers” led by Trump and Tony Blair. Almost forgot about it.

Well really it’s “his” Gaza “peace” “accord” since Hamas hasn’t even signed yet IIRC? And Israel will break it either way, even if Trump did in fact win the PP, they can’t take it back, so let’s get back to the genocide.

Not letting my guard down. If we go past April, it suddenly becomes possible that Hungary will also flip on the issue. We’re working on it. I want to be a citizen of the country that pioneered the recipe on how to destroy a Russophilic kleptocratic soft dictatorship instead of the country that pioneered said dictatorship.

People say that “they will push again and again” but that’s just how politics works. You have to go vote every time, in every election, get informed - reasonably, don’t turn yourself into a terminally online Twitter-zombie, read news outlets that do a big piece every week, not 24/7 reports on tweets - get active all the time, because this is your lives, your kids’ and parents’ and partners’ and friends’ lives that gets decided about. Political engagement turns your country into something like the Nordics, disengagement takes you to Russia, maybe even literally these days.

If I was a schoolteacher with high school kids, I’d make them go on the ECI website, and check out the petitions, read them, and sign what they agree with, and try to instill a habit of doing so every few months. I do this, and I signed petitions that sounded right to me and I could verify with minimal research that they were benevolent. It takes zero time, and lets you push a continent of societies towards a better future ever so slightly.

I was also spamming Hungarian MEPs for what good it did.

I feel like this and SKG were both nice “come together” activism moments for the EU nerd community. And while SKG was important as well, Chat Control was really an “end of democracy” moment and I love that we the people could shine the light on it so hard that it got abandoned until next time.

Or read Ed Zitron. What’s the youtube video? I’d like to check it out.
