It’s delightfully weird, but be warned that it can get kinda bloody at times. Not like splatter but more, uh… disturbing in some ways I guess – hard to get more specific without spoiling things.

Utopia, the original UK Channel 4 series not the godawful piece of shit US remake

The US was Europe’s biggest ally.

If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project

I think that’s called “murder”

How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

Removed by mod

Well, NATO was pretty much built to counter a Soviet invasion of Europe – so even though Art. 5 does cover the US (and they’re the only ones to have invoked it so far to justify their bullshit war in Afghanistan) since they’re a member state, the organisation has always been more geared towards keeping Russia from invading Europe.

“If NATO was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense, it must either become an organization that takes on this task by engaging with the Global South — and thus become something profoundly different — or we will not achieve the goal of having security within rules that apply to everyone,” he said.

It was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense in Europe. Why would NATO have to “engage with the Global South” (whatever the fuck that means in this context) to do that?

This sort of reminds me of my experience with Quebecois French. That shit gets pretty wild the further north you go, and I can barely understand Montrealers

But he’s speaking too clearly and enunciating too well

he what

I could understand mmmmmaaaaayyyybe like 70% (if we’re being generous, and we are, aren’t we?) of what the dude in that video was saying.

Regional accents can be really hard for me to understand sometimes, but I still love hearing them. The “standard American” accent and RP get so boring

Ha yeah. Like a Fedidrama comm but funnier.

Could sue people with silly opinions, drag their butts to Lemmy Court (and probably get dragged yourself too)

I mean, yeah it’s easy to scrape public networks, but my question is: so the fuck what?

If you don’t want anything or anyone to scrape your content, don’t publish anything on the internet. Ever.

Yeah I voted for the Ca-Caw Party

Thanks for the explanation! I really had no idea about any of this.

After listening to the interview on that Excursion Around The Bay video I got interested in hearing more of the accent so I went and dug up more videos and ran into this https://youtu.be/yl9hQpG_c34

That accent is a delight. It’s so interesting.

Everything’s got to be about politics here.

what

NOOOOO I’M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT
