I don't know enough about those countries political to give like an actual analysis of the situation, but isn't the obvious answer that countries usually don't like having enclaves within their territory?
Spain is opposed to British control of Gibraltar in the same way, and while Britain's claim is a bit more shaky, Spain's history of colonizing North Africa is going to make the existence of their enclaves in that territory an even more thorny issue than it already is.
Imagine a cat with the body of a dobermann or something, that guy would ruin your entire house
I tried my best, don't be mean
I remember learning this after playing the game and being totally blindsided by it. Not that I doubt Druckman intended for the story to say something about Palestine and Israel, but because his zionist understanding of the situation completely lacks the context of settler colonialism it ultimately says nothing.
After having it pointed out to me I can see that a lot of zionist myths have crept into the game, which partly explains why it feels like such a sludge of misanthropy. Part of justifying the abuses of those in power is telling yourself everyone would be just as bad or worse, and Druckman really seems to have internalized that.
Lol
Very uplifting news. I think everyone here understands that AI is a tool that can be clunky and time-consuming to use, and can do pretty much no job on its own (even though it's great for some types of research and stuff), but I was definitely worried that enough CEOs would believe otherwise for it to have a negative impact.
LLMs have been in the public consciousness a couple of years now, long enough to be sceptical of the"just wait a few more years and it will change everything" crowd. We should have at least started seeing some impact by now if that was the case.
Okay, I read the plan, and i don't understand why we need someone crouching behind the gorilla
I usually try not to insult people's hobbies, but let's be real, if you play golf you were probably already a conservative
We're all fucked, aren't we?
no, i'm built different, if i was a crab in a bucket i would just leave
The admin's response is just very strange. Why does British law matter here? No one expects or wants forum rules to have a formal legal basis. It's something you make and enforce based on what kind of community you want to have, and if they're fine with transphobia because it's legal to be a transphobe, they clearly don't want the kind of community we do and we should defederate.
they are a significant source of disinformation about actually successful Western Communists such as Jackson Hinkle and Infrared.
lmao, it's dumb enough to argue that these reactionaries are communists, but by what possible metric are they succesful? Actual socialism is still a tiny niche in western politics, but what they're promoting is a tiny niche even compared to that.
Because dog breeds are not comparable to genetic differences in humans. They've been actively bred for certain characteristics, going through a lot of generations extremely fast in controlled environments in a way that's impossible in nature. All humans are essentially mongrels. The reason we don't do racial classification of personality traits in humans isn't just because it's morally abhorrent, but also because it doesn't work, while because of the selective breeding of dogs, there can be big differences in their behaviour due to their breed.
It's also important that while a dog's breed does have an influence on it's behaviour, it's not absolute, and you can't actually predict a dog's behaviour through its breed alone.
It's a bit funny if a giant spaceship flew across the galaxy just to ruin my picnic by dropping a bomb specifically on me.
It's a few years ago now, but I used to have a recurring nightmare about having a nuke or bomb dropped on me.
Usually it was by human bombers, but sometimes it was alien ships. I especially remember this one time when it started with having a picnic at a park, but then the clouds part and there's this massive, planet-sized ship hanging over us, and I hear the scary, whistling sound and see the bombs falling just before I wake up.
Gen Z/Gen Alpha weirdness isn't really any weirder than previous generations
love when they talk about how easy it is to upset the left when they're clearly just angry about black history month existing
also why is the art so horny?
Isn't the idea that alphas are packleaders for betas? If there's an equal amount of alphas and betas are they all just leading a single sidekick?
Drawing on a study produced by the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago, Pagaduan reported that 53 percent of the sheltered unhoused population and 40 percent of the unsheltered unhoused population were employed either part- or full-time from 2011 to 2018.
Literally the second sentence of the article.
Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it's too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we're getting those who didn't manage to escape the draft. You'll laugh at this, but some of our marines can't even swim.
Harrowing stuff, I can't even imagine being put into a situation like this against your will.
I'm starting to doubt if Zelensky is gonna last another year. He's seems to be getting more and more criticism, from higher up the chain of command too. I guess that's unavoidable as the war goes on, but his response is always to claim it isn't true and keep begging nato for bigger guns, which I can't imagine is great at placating unrest.

Yeah, this person seems normal and trustworthy.
