Again, there are better ways to state the point you wanted to get across. Hate and empathy do enter into it, especially hate, because it’s always one of the shortcuts for gaming and changing existing human systems. Blame the different, claim to be pure and superior, get a following, storm the enemy. This isn’t new or exclusive to any culture, it’s been around since before the first cities were founded.

Also, the humans involved in attaining power are not necessarily smart, they can be delusional but charismatic leaders, which immediately makes “the human is better than the system” wrong. Pol Pot is perhaps one of the best examples: he wasn’t smart by any measure, but was charismatic enough to have a loyal following and had enough enemies, real and made up, to blame for every woe the people suffered. Solano Lopez, Paraguayan dictator in the 1860s, is another great example of delusional leader - his generals and captains knew that contradicting his military orders, even when they were suicidal and tactically unfeasible, meant being executed as a traitor. Delivering factually correct news that the Paraguayan army was defeated at any skirmish or battle also meant, at the very least, prison time.

I miss the times when “you can google it” was a valid answer.

I think the best way to try and find such forums is to search (on google, duckduckgo, others) for what you could expect to be threads in said places, adding forum to the search term. For football, I suspect “about player whatever’s performance last game” might be a common thread right after a game, or “what would be your dream team”

So your point is “hate the game, not the player”?

Keep in mind that, unlike a car or a toaster that rely on the laws of physics to function, human laws rely on human enforcement, which is why they can be ignored, changed and gamed. Unenforced laws are the same as said law not existing.

Still, there are many better ways to state that (people put that person in that position because the system worked as intended/was gamed) without sounding like we should feel empathy for people that tend to be terrible to large populations

Brazil: the big retirement fund steal (Fraude do INSS) and how the govt is acting to try and give the old people their money back.

In an extremely predictable twist, the right-wing is doing everything they can to paint the fraud solely as the current govt’s fault, despite them being in control from 2016-2022, years during which said fraud was already running.

Eh, old fucks and young fucks alike have fucked shit up since we learned to walk upright. The main cause of many of our worldly problems for the past ~150 years is ultra rich people.

Technically correct, but I don’t see the point of stating that

Speaking of terminal emulators! - https://arcan-fe.com/2025/01/27/sunsetting-cursed-terminal-emulation/

Thanks to big corporations effectively owning governments and big politicians the world over, things aren’t bound to get better anytime soon, because “the economy”. Fuck that shit

Work

Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.

Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

Sounds like you’ve been led to see girls and women as “alien” for whatever reason. Understanding the why of that could help us help you, or more importantly, help you help yourself.

So, why didn’t you have any meaningful conversation with any woman relatives, school or work colleagues in so long?

Pretty sure Canada and Mexico are closer than Yurop and should allow you to get cheaper healthcare

Interestingly, I’ve recently watched Real Life Lore’s video on the topic. It’s from 2 months ago and later in the video, it talks about the last batch of western foreigners that got in and how the regime almost immediately regretted letting them record and talk as much as they did.

There was also a S. Korean resort ran by Hyundai, from 1998 to 2008, which got shut down and nationalized after an incident had the N. Koreans shoot and kill Park Wang-ja, a 53 year old woman.

It’s the people who build stuff. The elites control the resources, but they don’t build shit. Ordering stuff to be done doesn’t make you a builder, just as commissioning a portrait doesn’t make you a painter.

People can come together and build big things without elites, kings or bosses sitting down and telling everyone what to do. Just because societies that greatly limit the power of the elites no longer exist, having been crushed, doesn’t mean they don’t work.

Venice as a city predates the independent republic by roughly 2 centuries

tradition and the available evidence have led several historians to agree that the original population of Venice consisted of refugees who were fleeing successive waves of Germanic and Hun invasions. (…) Some late Roman sources reveal the existence of fishermen, on the islands in the original marshy lagoons, who were referred to as incolae lacunae (“lagoon dwellers”).

By your logic, Bezos built Washington, which is where Amazon started

No matter how one looks at that assertion, it’s just plain fucking wrong.

Did slave owners build Venice? No. Rich Romans? Also no. Someone who isn’t a slave owner but worked all his subjects to the bone? Nope as well.

I’m sure the Venetians would gladly help lex luthor with any difficulties in bending

Lots and lots of games, either boardgames or digital. Or a better computer.

Mr. Simpson, NOOO!!
