The US will likely manage to carve up a sphere of influence for itself, but it’s quite clear that they’re overstretched already.
this part depresses me the most.
in the future: as brics nations work together towards ameliorating the effects of climate change to keep their populations fed, watered & sheltered, thus diminishing their capabilities; the g7 will continue to expand their already dominant financial and military control over the g20 & other vassal states through their access to abundant natural resources in canada, greenland, africa & the caucuses while continuing to further contribute to climate change in the process.
there's been 4 people (out of 64) that made it past 70; 3 have lived until 100 or so and they were all skinny, short men.
it's galling to me that my father and brother inherited these genes and it's worse that they're both conservatives; by brother is fully blown trump supporter and i know that he's going to attribute his longevity to living a "clean and god fearing" life unlike his wicked, commie, queer brother.
very true, but in what form?
this particular message feels a lot like latin american leftists and artistic people's identification w their culturally indigenous roots as a means to eschew their western colonial influence and reject western capitalist dominance, but it ignores the reality that the indigeneity that exists today was reconstructed from western colonial sources because the original was so devastated that the few bits and pieces that survived had to be mashed together into this populist revival intended to bring life to an alternative counter culture that's almost entirely divorced from its original origins.
ghost dance was the last time a populist revival like this was attempted and just like it happened in the last century, it'll have a relatively brief resurgence and then diminish significantly in the face of the same western civilization that gobbled up its original incarnation, leaving the people who continue to adhere to it so abjectly impoverished and at risk that they're naturally slowly attritioning into non-existence; especially so in the united states and canada.
i fully expected that the bullworks recently resurrected in places like mexico and uruguay to crumble before western capitalism & skullduggery; as it has happened several times in the last few centuries; and i hope that i'm only being pessimistic about china's chances to stem this tide, but the fact that the eu; australia; a majority of latin america (that effectively counters brazil, economically); and the key players in africa are dropping their defenses to the trade war makes me think that history will continue to repeat itself.
please tell me i'm wrong and why. brics doesn't seem to be an answer given how much some of its founding members are odds with each other today and will be more so in a climate changed future; nearly all of the other countries wishing to join today will be likewise greatly diminished in a climate changed future.
i wonder if it's too late for either considering the tariffs.
these principals have principles!
i can't tell if i should be glad that these public servants have more spine than their federal counterparts.
i think we're cooked because no one looks beyond the headline and i wish i could say that i do, but i know that i fail more often than succeed at doing so.
are you me? lol
my father's side has autism, depression, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity.
my mother's side has autism, adhd, anxiety, alcoholism/addictions and cancers galore.
i got every single one of those and been getting treatment for all of it decades now, plus the added "benefit" of knowing that i'll be dead sometime in my late 60's to early 70's because of it; i'm middle aged now.
i was going to say that i was surprised that they didn't side with trump until i saw that they used "facilitate" for this poor guy's return rather than ordering his return.
the moderators of .world remove your comment if you respond to the tankie insult with "liberal" and it makes me wonder why .ml's moderators don't
i wish it was faster
my home server needs to be reconstructed and i'm seeking ideas on how to future proof it. here's some ascii art in a screenshot to help describe how it's currently setup:
description (left to right):
i've rebuilt this server multiple times each time i encountered a "gotcha" or a surprise that i had not anticipated and it made some needful component stop working; so i'm seeking advice from Lemmy on how to redesign this to mitigate future surprises.
some of the surprises i've encountered so far are:
constraints:
it sounds like something underlying is wrong, so would test everything that is underlying your system.
a memtest is the easiest first check. i wouldn't rely on the one that's on your system since it could be bad too, but it's still worth it give it a try since it only takes a few seconds. if it finds anything, then there's definately something wrong with your hardware.
instead, i would rely on a usb stick with the ubuntu image you downloaded. first verify that the checksum for the ubuntu image you have on a trusted computer is the same that ubuntu has on its website. then copy it to your usb stick and then use memtest from there. if it comfirms that your ram is okay, use ubuntu's installation tools to verify that image on the usb stick is good; google or deepseek can show you how with easy to copy/paste commands.
in your shoes, i would re-install because at his point because then there's confidence that the base steps are verified and should be working correctly and then you can move onto othere testing strategies if you continue to experience the same behavior.
