Nah, you’re supposed to take them seriously and give them various platforms to speak on and beat them with FACTS and LOGIC because that’s what’s needed for a marketplace of ideas and functioning democracy.

In other unrelated news, fascism is now rising tremendously in the world.

They’re actually given full legal immunity to anything, meaning they’re allowed to commit crimes if they so choose (which we wouldn’t know anything about as there is no transparency concerning these types of things). There have also been cases of violent repression against unarmed dissidents who were protesting against the monarchy (mostly when the queen had died), with disproportionate punishments handed out.

Is this really necessary, having one family be pretty much above the law and having their lifestyle be funded via public funds? Sure, there’s an argument to be made that it drives the tourism, but it’s unknown how much does the royal family contribute to it, as there’s definitely tourists who would still visit the monuments and buy merch without the family.

Abandoning public services and privatizing them :(

The GDP of that household must be insane

Priorities.

Also, what’s a bit funny to me is they used the excuse of “homosexuality is a form of western colonialism”, but they’re taking notes directly from western far-right playbook here.

Streamers really do be instantly reversing years of their character development just by getting banned from an internet platform for a few weeks

So, a couple weeks ago Biden was “feeling comfortable” with a ceasefire, but now it seems that he’s comfortable with escalating it by sending american troops. Very cool!

We live in times where making up bullshit is consequence free, even if you get called out on it. People seem to value if you can speak well more than if you’re speaking the truth.

But hey, it’s free speech in the marketplace of ideas, so maybe it’s actually a good thing.

Yeah, that’s what you get with smaller communities, you tend to see the same people over and over.

Hey, don’t rewrite history - twitter was always notoriously bad, under Elon it surely got even worse though.

This is such a weird phenomena, but also a sad one. I’m assuming she does enjoy partying with drag queens but is so ashamed about it that she decides to compensate by rallying against them, sort of like how staunch anti-gay politicians are often caught in gay acts.

Or maybe it was just some drunken lapse of her “”“moral beliefs”“”, can’t really tell.

Not surprising, white nationalist movements were always there but only somewhat recently they stopped using extreme rhetoric in order to get more supporters, and it’s super effective. Nowadays you have even mildly exclusionary people who wouldn’t have supported white nationalists spout anti-immigration nonsense online and irl, voting for the far-right thinking they’re solving some issue that doesn’t really exist in reality and is massively overblown.

The world is going back to authoritarianism.

The resolutions are not likely to pass; even if they did pass the heavily pro-Israel Congress, they would likely be vetoed by President Joe Biden, who has been insistent on sending weapons to Israel with no strings attached.

Yeah, this is an absolute shame. He tried doing something similar shortly after the genocide had started, but everyone else currently in power just shut him down almost unanimously.

If politics and getting into power wasn’t 90% based on your wealth and connections, maybe US could have more people like Bernie trying to actually do good rather than trying to enrich or empower themselves.

My pragmatic side is absolutely disgusted with this - why would you gift a gun to your kid while living in an urban area? It makes no practical sense other than fueling this weird American obsession with guns.

I understand giving your teen kid a hunting rifle if you live in a rural area and go hunting sometimes, but not an AR in a city - it’s just asking for trouble.

Pull the lever as fast as possible and hope that the trolley doesn’t have enough force to push through the pile of people you just generated.

Then continue gambling with your newfound moral superiority

I have prior MOBA experience and played Deadlock for around 50 hours already, and it’s a good game IMO. Of course, it’s not perfect and I do have a couple issues with it but it kinda deserves the hype.

Sounds like skill issue to be honest - if you farm well and deny you don’t fall far behind even if you eat dirt during the laning phase. Even if you get absolutely stomped and denied, there are still a lot of chances for you to return into the game by catching waves and pushing them out and jungling.

I’m kinda mid-to-high MMR right now (to the point where I can’t really play together with friends as we get always separated), and I’ve had so many games where I went 0/5 in the laning phase with a soul deficit, then ended up jungling/pushing waves/jumping on enemies if they were alone and then suddenly being top or close to top in souls on my team.

I read it as AI somehow making more people sick therefore more of them needing to go see pharmacists, therefore pharmacists seeing more patients

Dude looks like a Far Cry villain

Didn’t Musk unironically have a burner twitter account where he would pretend to be a 3 year old child? Grok might be onto something here
