off topic but i never fuken understood this problem. Like literally. your action can save 4 people, what’s the reasoning behind not pulling the lever being a morally valid choice as much as pulling it?

might just be me, but i feel like administering the punishment in a more sensible way sounds like a better option than making it so the possession of CP only gets you a slap on the wrist
whole Kharkov front is crumbling under the action of a few DRG’s. The numbers are also exxagerated, more sensible bloggers talk about 2 to 4k russian soldiers. It’s becoming clear that the AFU can somewhat hold pre-prepared position in hot areas, but has no capability to redeploy reserves to new fronts.
The poor 47th fire brigade must be spending more times sitting on cars and trains than actually fighting
iirc John Oliver talked about a particular missile silo which is so old the computers still use punched cards, and there is no soldier who is actually trained on those systems. The door of that same silo is also always open, because it broke and they don’t know how to fix it
they make it look so easy, it’s frustrating
tbh this is already the case when it comes to the air/sea war. Recent wargames show that in the moment of an attack, the US fleet and airforce in the pacific get missile’d to hell before even being able to operate effectively
“i don’t want my words miscontrued” bro no one cares about you or your words
same thing you say to people who had relatives killed by Stalin
“there is a good chance they deserved it”
by the way i see it, voluntarily settling in a land that’s being colonized and ethnically cleansed comes with accepting the idea that you and your family are at risk of suffering retaliation
“failed idea that is palestine” israel is such a successful idea that we needed to pump into it billions upon billions in weapons just for it to survive
y’all living with someone?
Comrade, get a hold of yourself. A hundred generations live in us, waiting for the final victory of socialism. And if it won’t be us, it’s going to be our sons and daughters
I actually think that with the internet and everything, we will gradually move away from “big thinkers”. Sure, there will still be people producing decent theory, but i just can’t see in the current world a russian revolution like scenario when whole shifts at factories would meet up to read Marx.
I believe we will move towards a sort of “crowdsourced” theory where the main theoretical line is born organically out of continuos communication and discussion until we eventually get to a point where most contradictions and disagreements are solved. At that point the “big thinker” and his work will be one of many inputs, and not some sort of ideological hegemon.
Sort of like it is happening on here. We didn’t read the same stuff, but with time the community shaped itself to a point where we substantially agree with each other on pretty much everything.
More than anything, it’s the definitive confirmation that the Lion of Damascus won the civil war. They wouldn’t have let him in if there were doubts about his position.
It pretty much says that the arab world has made peace with the idea that Assad and the Ba’ath party are there to stay
Cuba is probably the one i have the most cultural affinity with, so it would not be that hard to adapt and learn the language. But i also can’t survive in warm climates, so northern china it is
who would win
the largest military alliance on earth
Dragan
tbh Bing can have them, tf are they going to do? be even more irrelevant?
there are like dozens of reasons why we got rid of them in the first place.
They are expensive, dangerous, not particularly efficient or fast, and tbh i’ll be fine without a 100 meters long amazon Ad in the sky.
Rendered bacon fat instead of oil
I wish that were true because it would make it possible to go on a “detox” journey and get rid of everything, but the fantasies i have started pretty much as soon as puberty kicked in - long before i had access to porn, let alone the tech and english skills to search for very specific content
how? do nothing and your inaction has killed more people. Pulling the lever effectively means saving three people, i can’t see an angle from where that is a controversial position to hold
