Not having read the full list, I hope that “jumping from a hotel window in Balearic islands to your death because you tried ‘balconing’ and missed the hotel pool” is there

You should try Spanish “rosquillas” to know what’s an actually dry donut
Also, TesseracT? More like TransseracT, amirite fellas?
Oh fuck, TesseracT and communism, this is the perfect intersection. Do you want to be my friend, please? <3
Also, please let me recommend listening to “Of Matter - Retrospect” and “Of Matter - Resist” one after the other in that order… Literal chills
How’s the deal in the US with Washington and Lincoln and so on not a personality cult? You have a literal mountain with their faces carved in, and they’re fucking everywhere from bills to statues to media
We’re already there, there’s no need for this hypothetical. We’ve reached the point where we have trademarked plants, and natural cross-pollination with neighbouring fields has led to fines to farmers because they’re technically growing someone else’s intellectual property plant.
Vaccines and drugs whose research is paid for with public funds are copyrighted and poorer nations are forbidden from obtaining them at reasonable prices.
Vanguard technologies like FPGAs are seeing a rise in later years not because the concept is new, but because 40-year-old key patents of the technology started to expire and this allowed third parties to improve on the technology, and increase its availability and affordability.
Time and time again, software and hardware designed and published with open source but licensed copyright (or copyleft) are blatantly copied and modified without permission by big tech, without any credit or compensation to the original author, in complete violation of the license terms, and nothing ever happens because they have better lawyers than the small open source people.
AI models are unlawfully trained illegally with immense amounts of copyrighted material, and then substitute artists with real understanding of the art.
No need to make up hypotheticals for a society in which this already happens
Nah, that’s a fucking euphemism, we need a better word to describe it
No. Al-Jazeera published a report that the electronic devices that exploded had high explosives embedded, and I’m not in a target country
WHEN WILL THEY LEARN! WHEN WILL THEY LEARN… THAT THEIR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!
If you like horchata and you have a bit of spare money, you could get some “chufas” (spanish word for the thing horchata is made from). Soak them in water for some hours before eating, and they’re a nice, crunchy, sweet, coconut-like snack.
Ran the numbers yesterday, vapes are very similar in price per mg of nicotine as nicotine patches
Well, I wasn’t talking exclusively about the US, but sure, I get your point.
Just reminding you that it’s not your fault, it’s the system’s. Unemployment is a <300 year-old concept, everyone worked before that, and it was fine because, like, are we really lacking things to do in this world? Unemployment is an unnecessary evil, and it’s NOT YOUR FAULT that you’re unemployed right now.
First we fought a war against them, which was good given the lack of alternatives to prevent genocide in greater areas, then we forgave everything and kept those people in power, which was horrible.
[…] is a provocation worthy of military invasion?
See, that’s an entirely different statement. Threatening to join Russia’s geopolitical rival’s military alliance while bordering Russia, is provocation. The acts in Donbas since 2014 are provocation. Is it “worthy of military invasion”? I don’t believe so. The proto-fascist Russian government is clearly not acting entirely out of pure will and self defense, and I’ll be the last to defend it since I have loved ones directly suffering under that government. But it’s important to frame things correctly, and yes, threatening to join NATO while bordering Russia is a huge provocation.
Particularly, NATO has no history of defensiveness (as far as I know it has never intervened for the defensive purposes it’s supposed to uphold), but it has a history of offensiveness. Yugoslavia and Libya can both attest to that, and extra-officially (technically not NATO interventions even if many NATO members participated one way or another), countries such as Iraq can also attest. The case of Iraq is a perfect example of what unprovoked invasion in modern times is, and we are still forced to see libs fall heads over heels for a fucking Dick Satan Cheney endorsement to Kamala “most lethal army in the world” Harris.
So, yes, when a country bordering you chooses to join a historically aggressive military alliance that openly challenges you, that’s huge provocation. And it’s important to state so when we talk about the war in Ukraine.
completely unprovoked
considering joining NATO
Those two statements are in the same phrase… My god
that would basically be like a e cigarette battery exploding
Not true, it would be much, much more impossible than that. Lithium batteries are both much more unstable and much more energy dense than usual 9V batteries, it’s quite literally impossible to kill someone with a 9V battery explosion unless it’s being held inside the mouth or something. There’s definitely some explosive in the pager
Edit: this comment has assumed 9V pagers
I love how the best defense of capitalism people can come up with us “but poor business owners run risks too”, like that’s the point you little twat, I want to socialize the risks and the profits, I don’t want people sleeping on their street because their business idea didn’t work
How so? I’ve never heard that before
Fake news, can’t find it!
