Seriously, like are we gonna put a CW on the "I Have a Dream" speech?

Yeah I've been saying for a while now that current policy doesn't even make sense from the standpoint of maintaining US/Western hegemony. Ukraine is a military disaster, and worse, the sanctions against Russia have utterly failed in a way that emphatically demonstrates to the rest of the world the possibility of escaping Western economic dominance. And now we have a total abandonment of any possibility of moral credibility with the continued US support for the genocide in Gaza. Things probably won't change much (if at all) in the short term, but in the medium term or so we're going to see some serious consequences for these policy decisions, and in the long term the shadow of these events will be quite long, I'd say.

New rule: you don't get to fucking police someone's spending habits if you haven't fucking given them any money.

Nor if you have, for that matter. Fuck off with that moralism. Even having been homeless yourself does not give you the right to tell people how to live, you sanctimonious fucking pricks.

That exchange happened right after the lib said we should all be sending emails to Bernie's office instead of posting about it here. I'd say this response was entirely called-for.

This is so asinine. ChaptGPT-4 does not reason. It does not decide. It does not provide instructtions. What it does is write text based on a prompt. That's it. This headline is complete nonsense.

Pretty sure no one is actually bringing up oxygen tanks except my dumb ass (and that only as a way to say, even if we afford maximum benefit of the doubt here, the Israeli lies still fall totally flat). But you're otherwise totally correct.

Ok so this is surely a deeply cold take and an entirely unoriginal thought by this point, but is it even remotely conceivable that Hamas has (or had) military hardware capable of destroying that hospital? Like even if a rocket hit a whole bunch of oxygen tanks, I can't see the resulting explosion killing more than 100 people at the absolute worst.

In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing.

I wish I knew, but it's hard to get a visa, so I'm stuck in my shithole country (United States).

Hate to break it to you, but even the US state department recognizes that there's no such country as Taiwan. Please call it by its correct name, "Chinese Taipei," so people know what you're talking about.

Taiwan? I think you mean Chinese Taipei.
