My (we’re Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry

I don’t recall that one having 6dof tho
some people are easily amused (by emoji spam). I love a good Donald Trump speech copypasta with all the hand gesture emojis
iirc some phone keyboards autosuggest emoji when you type a word, op probably just didn’t bother to remove it

Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.
Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist
Idk I hear misskey (activity pub micro blogging software) is really big in Japan, used by lots of artists. lots of Japanese users on bluesky as well
Ok you probably won’t hear this from an AI bot trained to repeat the ideology of the ruling class that this book tries to justify (and for which it gets praised in mainstream media, which I imagine make up most the training data).
But in reality lots of professional historians have argued this is a very bad book from a historical/scientific perspective. The research is not actually best described as “meticulous”.
And from a moral perspective, pinker does not see deaths from engineered starvation/malnutrition and displacement (for a more modern equivalent see also the so called “deaths of despair”) as “violent” because they don’t fall into the war/criminality criteria he sets for himself.
For a compilation of critiques from historans see for example the book “the darker angels of our nature” (link to a review) https://www.counterfire.org/article/the-darker-angels-of-our-nature-refuting-the-pinker-theory-of-history-and-violence-book-review/
The one about bikes is a banger but not feeling it here :(

the lemmy devs added per user instance blocks a while ago. Check your settings page
wait what is “social planning” and how is it different from conventional marketing on social media. That seems pretty far removed from search engines
well good news, the readme implies they are planning on it
Do what the article says, Make like Russia in LDNR and send in “volunteers on leave” to help out the Ukrainians. The breakaway republics would never have held out this long without Russian volunteers.
Ok wtf. How are you supposed to even enforce that, nevermind that there seems to be no enforcement mechanism for anything in the treaty, but economic coercion is just an inherent part of relations under capitalism.
The way i remember it, in mid-late 2022 there was bipartisan support in Congress for sending more and more advanced arms but the Biden admin slow-rolled it because of escalation fears.
There were a fair amount of formerly nomadic people in the Soviet Union and I’m guessing there was some cultural exchange
Not an expert but for one example you could read the story of Maryam Khatoon Molkara https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_Khatoon_Molkara
isn’t their next door neighbor Germany having an energy deficit crisis cuz they’ve been dependent on Russian gas for years? Maybe they could match up somehow
