Inherently may be the keyword here. They are not automatically addictive, but they were redesigned over two decades to become addictive and exploit backdoors in human cognition.

I skimmed the article and did not find one name of a moderate who was killed…anybody? Is this metaphorical as in “discredited” the moderates?

Meanwhile: "lets all try these random peptides because some meathead said so!!! Woohoo"💦

Shit, I misread and thought they meant universal national healthcare service, lol. Dipshits.

2 Indian ships…Iran L, they can’t take a lot of those at this point if they expect sympathy.

They put him there because they knew tramp would like him and get along over common interests :/ not a good look either, but makes a little bit more sense than simply appointing the worst person you know.

What is the point of surveillance if a known russian asset can make president and proceed to completely fuck up government from the inside? It’s like building a wall that fucks over everyone, only to watch an actual enemy jump over it with a ladder.

Sure, that is the easy answer and why nuclear powers in the region are fine with it. I was talking about how I don’t understand why murica+israel is dooming while those countries are so relaxed. I wasn’t dooming.

It’s not that simple, but generally I agree that Ukraine needs nukes. But you can’t have every country and their grandma rushing to nukes simply to ensure their sovereignty. You need blocks and sharing umbrellas at best, otherwise there are too many points of failure in a network of deterrence that it is inevitable that one careless or mistaken shot triggers full armageddon in 30 minutes.

PS: I’d suggest one nuke permit per civ/continent/trade block eg USA+partners, EU++, russia+whatever, China+partners, India, Pakistan++, African Union, Latin America, Indonesia?, Iran++?, Arab Countries?, Australia…starting to get messy now… The only problem left to solve here is the borders of the blocks and how countries decide to move from one block to the other eg Ukraine, Brexit, Mexico, Egypt, Turkey, etc.

I don’t see anyone in the EU cheering for polish/ukrainian nukes or the same for Japan/SKorea, etc. MAD is not obvious in a multipolar world and alliances can shift quickly. E.g. China does not trust theocrats.

I still don’t get why Pakistan/China/russia/India nearby are so chill with Iran having nukes if they really were going towards that…

progressive in the world these days is having the courage to call out and oppose tramp team’s revolutionary regressive circus bullshit. It’s a low bar, but somebody has to do it.

At this point, this clown show only serves oligarchs (like the paypal mafia) who just want to discredit and degrade democracy in the eyes of the masses to install their favourite dictator, just like they did in 90s russia.

Eh, my phone is not in the compatible lineage list, gotta check that before I buy next time.

Anybody got a good walkthrough on how to degoogle an android phone? The thing is half broken without a google account. (ok, aptoide and f-droid help for starters)
