I agree with you that India doesn't need to take sides, but I'm pretty sure Russian/West cooperation had been increasingly positive since the cold war ended, right until Putin decided he wanted to be an imperialist again. The West didn't make him invade a sovereign, non-threatening country.

They're allowed to watch Barbie in China? How censored is it?

Neuralink is an excellent advancement for brain science and it is greatly going to help disabled people and those with little function left over their bodies. It's okay to celebrate this technology while also hating musk.

Like SpaceX, they've both been excellent ventures that he so far hasn't ruined (probably thanks to the people he delegates to). Just because it's fashionable to hate him for how he's absolutely fucked over Twitter (which i'll remind everyone we've always hated and agreed is bad, use Mastodon instead) doesn't mean his other companies largely spearheaded by others, and their results, are also bad.

That's not even to mention that the kind of dystopian technology people are imagining isn't anywhere close to what the Neuralink device is actually capable of. What everyones fearmongering over is still just science fiction. It's just barely able to interpret brain signals, it's not as powerful as everyone makes it out to be.

2nd edit: forgot what instance I'm on, this comment probably ain't going to do well lol

Please just let me go to my local CVS and get this. I've considered trying to trick a vet into giving me the one they give dogs (that was originally developed and used for humans but taken off the market for total bullshit reasons) but easier said than done.

You'd be surprised at how many imbeciles a simple step like this will weed out. Lotta unqualified people applying to everything

What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.

Outspoken non-conformist feminist conforms and converts to Islam, declaring all other religions worldwide, wrong and invalid. Could almost be an Onion article title.

Lol I love these articles always "calling for resignation" of Congress people. Mitch will resign when he's dead and not a moment sooner, this slimy piece of shit has more power than the president and he has the position for life. And he's evil enough to wield it very effectively. He'll never give it up.

This motherfucker can't stop making the worst goddamn decisions. PragerU is a blatant propaganda machine, even I think when viewed from a moderate conservative slant.

Kind of crazy how unsympathetic people are being towards Tor and Tor operators here

Now's the time to advertise it in a thread that has a lot of eyes.

It'll be a lot harder for them with federated software, and when the free instances are all solidly established
