maybe the real therapy was the potions we distilled along the way

they exploit vulnerable individuals and perpetuate violence

so do the police lol

how would breaking it up help anything? So you can have multiple parochial states in endless territorial conflicts instead of one encompassing the entire nation? So half the people remain enslaved by reactionaries while the rest are liberated? No way, its one for all and all for one, the revolution is incomplete otherwise. The Bolsheviks didn’t shatter the Russian Empire, they fought and fought hard to create the USSR

I mean, I agree, i want global liberalization of narcotic law, really as a right to bodily autonomy first and foremost. But it’s a complicated subject with a fraught history in many countries. Drug criminalization is not just governed by national law but also international treaties at the UN (and LoN, drug laws are old af). And its global criminal status also chokes the supply and transport which makes the drugs trade extremely lucrative and thus lots of shady powerful characters (like the CIA) have a interest in keeping it illegal globally.

It would need to be an international effort negotiated multilaterally like climate change or AI. Until then just leave your blunts at home if you go to Asia, its not associated with fun times and Bob Marley, more like exploitation and suffering unfortunately.

Of course, their laws aren’t racist. And their opium crisis was also perpetuated by local traffickers and growers as well. (Warlords would fund personal armies off opium sales, for example)

I told him they would have had so much more support and legitimacy if Israel attacked first

this is where I think you are mistaken. The Palestinian independence cause was about to be quietly erased and forgot after many Arab states normalized relations with the Zionist entity, and this was in process (Abraham Accords, ect) until the Al Aqsa flood completely derailed this diplomatic plan.

The atrocities committed by the IOF since then have sank normalization with Arab states for the foreseeable future, and attacking first allowed the resistance to capture valuable settler hostages. They would be in an even worse position with no leverage if the Zionists were allowed to start this war on their terms, though I understand that is cold comfort to the present reality of Gazans. They are on the frontlines of imperialism and all they can do is try to endure and fight.

Americans should be careful with these open endorsements for collective punishment. You reap what you sow and history has a funny way of surprising people.

Even if you have a lazy cat, mice have since learned to avoid the smell of cat pheromones. So just having a fat furball laying around will make it more likely the local mice go bother your neighbor instead.

Windows is actually fedware these days. (Fedware that also scams and aggrevates the feds themselves) if you post here you owe it to yourself to dump that hot garbage as soon as you can.

take a look at bazzite perhaps?

any game that needs to install a rootkit on my computer to play it was never going on my computer anyway. Proton can more or less handle every else on linux at this point. Hardware driver support is getting quite mature too. 2025 is legitimately the year of the linux gaming desktop imo.

As well as hating black people he also hated Slavs too and laid the foundations for anti-soviet US foreign policy

just wait until they find out how much a bomb costs…

that’s fine, I wasn’t planning on using that 20% of my CPU cycles anyway. And take all the RAM you need on the way out, I was actually saving it for you. thank you sir windows

Brett Stephans was masturbating in the NYT opinion pages about this today, apparently the new western dream is for an “Arab-led” security force to take over Gaza in order to “de-radicalize” it with the help of “European economic power”. It seems they have finally admitted that direct Isntraeli occupation of Gaza will only cause Palestinians to hate them more and strengthen the resistance. Though they still think annexations of the Egyptian border and cutting Gaza in half are necessary. Then I guess eventually a “deradicialized Gaza” will be handed over to Isntrael or the PA.

It’s an absolute fantasy, he literally made up a fictional Gazan man named “Mohammad” in the article to fabricate Palestinian support for this insane idea. No Arab state, even the collaborators, wants to get directly involved in this genocidal shitshow. I doubt NATO even wants to show up in person, except the US of course.

It reminds me of what the US is trying to do in Haiti with the Kenyan police. That has been a complete failure and it would be even worse in Gaza.

for me personally, walking into door frames and accidentally breaking ceramic and glass objects

Nah they are doing like A Modest Proposal satire thing, that’s funny. Guilty liberals just don’t want to hear it and assuage that guilt by making the UN not joke about it at brunch. That’s basically as good as actually feeding people.

humans make humans, and humans speak human. Do we kill humans? The AI could also communicate just to dunk on us or attain some strategic advantage, you can’t assume any motivation really because an AGI would not have the same biological motives as an animal.

don’t insult your kidneys or your liver they got your back when no one else does

Don’t try to half cope, everyone will smell the desperation. Gotta embrace it and stay all the way bald. Other men seem to notice and care more about it than women honestly.
