Yeah, I figured by her streaming frequency that she didn’t fully recover from her semi-burnout, hopefully this time she takes the time she needs (and sees a professional if she wants to, that’s always useful even just for sorting out your thoughts!)

That makes sense when it harms business being done in that country, people’s opportunity to find jobs and stuff like that.

But blocking people from working for free on open source projects where there’s nothing to be gained is harming progress, not individuals or countries. That’s not what sanctions were made for.

“This whole system needs to be smashed and recreated, it’s fine if the country burns itself down”

“Btw you’re the one with blood on your hands, I definitely think basic human rights aren’t negotiable”

Maybe, “what was the philosopher doing for 60 minutes in the mall?”

Well, it does look like he shows her his badge as he’s walking up to her.

…not at all…? He has his hands in his pockets until he stops walking in front of her, then he takes out his open hand to tell her to stop, then he takes out the other to stop her from walking away. When do you think he showed her a badge?

Ohh, so you’re an accelerationist! Now your comments make sense. Well, except the one claiming you’re anti-genocide, but the rest make sense. Kinda.

Probably in the sense that as you’re approaching it in the distance you can see the lines around it. When you’re that close you can’t see them anymore, but you should’ve realized that it was a wall way before that point.

Apparently they’re next to the timestamp now (you can see the “↑ 4” on that screenshot, and if you sort this post’s comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as “↑ 87 ↓ 1”)

I hate how it’s always like this. Some leftists get angry about fictional stuff and fascists use the opportunity to get more people to their side. When will they learn to shut up about things that don’t actually harm anyone?

Gamergate would’ve had no legs to stand on if people just left “gamers” alone. Instead they decided to complain about innocuous stuff and now we have a crapton of young people who suck up to Andrew Tate & co because they feel like the other side of the spectrum hates them. How do we always manage to sabotage ourselves?

I’d say letting people realize that even a picture of the guy with no violent messages attached gets removed is a really good way to get a point across.

Yup, if not worse.

That does suck, it’s kinda sad that the most popular Comic-oriented community is that uptight about profanity.

Although, if that happens again I suggest trying on a different community, even if it’s not fully comic-oriented or if it’s smaller (c/comics@programming.dev for example, it’s mostly inactive but it’s not uncommon at all for posts from near-dead communities to gain traction anyway).

It wasn’t a rule, there was just ambiguity on whether talking about jury nullification for Luigi’s trial fell under advocating for violence, which led to some confusion (they later clarified that talking about it in terms of encouraging future crimes still counts as advocating for violence, but if the crime already happened or if it’s non-specific it’s all good, afaik).

So in the end that means you can, and already did, cross that line. You just don’t want to do that when it specifically comes to voting.

I still think the ultimate outcome wouldn’t have changed but yeah, rewatching it he does seem a bit more provocative than in the rest of the interview. Maybe it did tick him off a bit too much and he decided to go for it in the heat of the moment.

I think it’s because he hoped there were actual guarantees, considering Trump is definitely interested in Ukraine’s mineral industry. But as the meeting went on it became increasingly clear that keeping Putin his BFF was even more important and he just wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

You’re still supporting genocide by proxy by living in the US and paying taxes, contributing to the GDP and whatnot, though. You should move and contribute to a different country if you really can’t stand to support genocide in any form.

I mean, he was asking a question that had to be asked at one point or another. If Vance had an answer to that, he wouldn’t have lost face. If he didn’t, that means any kind of deal they could’ve made would’ve been useless (if not harmful) to Ukraine.

What would’ve he gained by not making that question? The chance to make a deal with no warranties? I feel like he’s a very good strategic thinker, and that wasn’t a choice dictated by pride or by the heat of the moment. There was nothing significant to gain by not asking that question, they would’ve just discussed the deal behind closed doors and he’d still have to refuse because Trump’s only warranty would still be “well so far he hasn’t broken promises with me, though”.
