Sovcits + consumerism == Pirating isn’t stealing because this word here has a certain definition, which invokes this special rule that lets me do what I want.

There are tracing programs that let you see when a program makes system calls to read and write files, control hardware, etc. It might be easiest to run it and see what it does in a VM sandbox. Process Monitor looks like a strace equivalent on windows.

I don’t see a negative. It’s foss so you ought to be relaxed about others using your code. The issues are probably just articulating problems that were already there. If it’s stuff you don’t care about… it’s a foss repository so you just ignore it.

It’s because cigarettes are addicting and so when someone harming themselves says not to do it, it makes sense. They’re suffering from a bad habit / addiction and they’re saying others shouldn’t do it too.

Someone proclaiming the virtues of simple living yet the way they got there being unobtainable for anyone hearing the advice makes no sense.

They’re both hypocrites on the surface but only one survives scrutiny.

It’s weird that the article doesn’t say when it happened, just that officials said things 'later Tuesday '. Was it a blip or all day outage?

I feel culpable for my governments actions. I mentally frame it as “my government” and “what we did” instead of the more common “the government” and “what they did.”

I feel it’s the only way to be a good democratic citizen. We speak reality into existence and I refuse to speak myself to the sidelines of self-governance, even if it means feeling culpable for the terrible actions of my government.

I don’t think in terms of optics. I don’t care if it seems degrading or feels degrading. My philosophical and moral axioms are more about results, cause and effect, reality, etc.

Go to a homeless shelter. Or try dealing with children. There’s a time and place for uplifting people, but you also have to pay attention to what’s real. Think about the mental state of the person in that point in time. Learn to prioritize. Forcing a stubborn person to take pills is better than childishly clinging to ideas about personal autonomy.

I guess if you have very little life experience, don’t understand people, and haven’t developed a comprehensive, holistic perspective of humanity, then I could see how this would be a dilemma for someone.

Stranded, but with a personal jet coming to pick him up. How terrible, hope he finds a way to get back.

Not taking pills, or taking them improperly, can be fatal. OP doesn’t care because they have a personal belief. They said that they would die on that hill, which is a poor choice of words because other people might literally die for their belief.

Jesus Christ. What a psychopath. You’re talking about dying on a hill when it will be others who die for your belief.

All he did was bounce between extremist pipelines, make terrorism ‘jokes’, compile intel, plan through various scenarios, let hardcore Muslims convince him to quit the Marines, engaged with groups explicitly tied to terrorist acts, and present himself as a terminally online kid with a processing disorder. I’m surprised he wasn’t given the benefit of the doubt after he posted intel and linked to a group funding Hamas.

I tried to get a summary with an llm

The article explains how Russia has managed to evade Western sanctions on its oil sector by using a network of intermediaries and shell companies to sell its crude oil to China, India and other countries. The article estimates that Russia has earned about $11 billion from these transactions since 2022, despite being under US and EU sanctions for its annexation of Crimea and involvement in the war in Ukraine. The article also reveals how Russia has used its state-owned oil company Rosneft and its subsidiary RN-Exploration to explore and develop oil fields in Venezuela, Iran and Syria, which are also under US sanctions.

The article claims that these activities have helped Russia maintain its influence and leverage in the global oil market, as well as its political and military alliances with these countries. The article cites several sources, including US officials, analysts, traders and documents, to support its findings.

The article concludes by saying that the US and its allies have failed to curb Russia’s oil ambitions, and that the sanctions have had little impact on Russia’s economy or its ability to finance its military operations

This is for the interstitials right? It’s a separate system than the ones on the side?

It sounds like they’re talking about ads in the video.

You can affect the ads by finding normal ads around the internet (served by Google) and telling Google what is and isn’t relevant to you.

However, Google seems to allow advertisers to lie and game their system. Ie PragerU will advertise some “trans is bad” “children’s book” schlock, labeled as “video games.”

When you’re already sucking it up and trying to fairly engage with Google, it’s disheartening to see they don’t even pay attention to what they serve people.

I feel bad about being pro war after 9/11 even if I was a kid. It was because people like me that ‘unpatriotic’ voices were drowned out, that the feeling of “we need to do something” overwhelmed our institutions. It wasn’t because Bush et al lied about WMDs. It was because we yearned for retribution.

Most people seem incapable of accepting responsibility for their governments actions, even when they were on the ‘winning side’, even if they contributed to the inertia. It easy to just blame the elites. I honestly don’t know how different the narrative around Kissinger is compared to post 9/11 Bush, but if it rhymes just a little then it makes sense why he’s blamed for so much. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for the Killing Fields.
