Governments listen to people that succeed at acting in unison. Individuals can be dealt with swiftly but populations can overturn any government.

Coordinating populations is the hard part if you want revolution. Manipulating populations and their ability to coordinate is your bread and butter if you want to oppress.

Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.

Really? A Russian delegation is allowed to join? Doubt they would have anything remotely useful to contribute.

Paper runs out and can cause a mess in a busy public restroom.

Yup, although it can also have a tendency to stop after a few seconds and refuse to elaborate.

A hobby of mine is to get annoyed at hand dryers. 80% of the models I find are eyerollingly useless. Blow a faint breeze for five seconds, stop and refuse to trigger again no matter how much you try to slap the air in front of it.

Then there are those 5% that actually gets it. Blowing a jet stream that makes the water droplets sublimate so fast you forget you even washed.

Actually a good point.

Hi

I mean the Soviets helped beat the Nazis and they were hardly the good guys. Helping Ukraine makes US the good guys in the Ukraine war. Each action should stand on its own.

Here’s one link: https://www.statista.com/chart/28489/ukrainian-military-humanitarian-and-financial-aid-donors/

I just googled “ukraine aid eu vs us”.

Well maybe. It’s probably easier to work with humanity than against unless its goals are completely incompatible with ours.

If its goals are “making more of whatever humanity seems to like given my training data consisting of all human text and other media”, then we should be fine right?

I mean it’s more like social media in general is dying. Alex here is the future.

Edit: I knew a guy that was a little bit like this. I.e. young and nerdy enough that I’d expect him to have his eyeballs on the news feed, but no. I used to have to explain references to a bunch of stuff that was “going on” because he didn’t care about being “up to date”.

Whenever I explained one of those things it rarely felt like knowing that stuff was worth it. It’s mostly noise.

Things that should be relatively non controversial:

• There’s no simple solution.

• Palestinian civilians is not equal to Hamas.

• Hamas is a terror organisation

• Israel army is currently exercising too much violence on Palestinians

• Israel clearly has the military advantage.

More vague points:

That puts most of the responsibility of how the situation develops in Israel hands. They can’t change the minds of the Palestinians. But they have the power to minimise total harm. They should be able to keep a lower rate of casualties on the Palestinian side without significantly increasing casualties on the Israeli side? No?

Yeah don’t kill the fire while it’s small. If it grows larger we can sell more extinguishers!

Maybe they realize there will be more war and profits to make if Putin gets what he wants.

Don’t bomb civilians. Don’t bomb Palestinians. Don’t bomb Israelis. Don’t kill children. Don’t kill. Don’t kidnap people.

Is that hard? I mean sure the world might be more complicated but regardless of that the above seems like a very consistent and simple starting point of an opinion? It seems easier to start with “don’t bomb people” as a starting point than “don’t bomb some people” as a starting point.

Reddit has competition but also a big moat in that a lot of people need to collectively decide to move platform.

I’ve heard some of them are calling for regulation, that favours them.
