Kind of weird to see OP out here arguing for people to donate to Wikipedia…

The core problem seems to be capacity: Wikipedia’s scale, multilingual sprawl, and procedural complexity mean that if Estonia’s and Lithuania’s volunteer communities only notice changes when they become “critical,” it may already be too late to prevent a narrative from hardening into the default global summary. Loopholes like this make Wikipedia attractive for hostile info warriors.

But the article is correct, stuff like this can be nipped in the bud, but due to a forced reliance on volunteers, there might not be the manpower to catch these things early.

Don’t just give up on Wikipedia, if it wasn’t effective these douchebags doing fraudulent editing for propaganda purposes wouldn’t be so long the ridiculous amount of time this takes, especially when the account doing it can be identified and easily removed once it’s noticed.

No different than banning trolls from a forum.

Still better than Danish…

/s

But yeah thanks! When I saw it was Finns I checked the Danes because they’re always doing their own thing, they go by 20s, so tens alternate “half 20s”.

It’s like someone had doubts people could count much past 12

More like the people who invented a lot of shit used base 12.

Things restarting at 12, is because the thing is so old, it predates base 10.

Like, pick a language, count to thirteen:

Ein, zwei, drei, fire, funf, sechs, seben, acht, neun, zein, elf, zwolf, dreizein…

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…

Notice how 11 and 12 aren’t one-teen and two-teen?

On each hand is 4 sets of 3 knuckles, touch your thumb to each knuckle and your finger counting on one hand higher than we can with two. Pretty sure there’s some pretty neat math tricks with their method too, almost like built in abacus.

But all this is off memory.

Don’t down vote because Newsom is a POS, upvote it so people can see him being a POS

I’m constantly disappointed people fall for the shit his unpaid 20 year old interns post and think he’s “cool” or in anyway leftwing.

Never forget as soon as trump won Newsome got Alex Jones and other rightwingers on his podcast and wouldn’t shut up about how the future of the Dem party should be maga “social” issues

He only pivoted to anti-maga when maga kept calling him a little bitch for kissing their rings.

Newsom will say anything to get power, because the more power he has, the more money the oligarchs let him have.

Kash Pattel keeps trying that and it’s not working…

If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.

As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.

Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.

It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.

Eh, the terracotta emporer from China almost definitely has booby traps that are likely still functional after 2,000.

We don’t know, because the absolutely insane amount of open mercury in the tomb would have filled it with toxic gases, although it’s likely that wasn’t the intent.

But yeah, most “ancient” tombs were pillaged centuries ago. What little happens now is entirely black market and people probably die all the time.

I know Kim Kardashian took a booty selfie with a sarcophagus at the MET Gala a couple years ago, and one of the illegal tomb raiders recognized it. And because he never got his cut, he snitched to local authorities. So it still happens, we just don’t hear about the vast amount. Just the very careful government sanctioned ones.

Clémence Guetté, Vice President of France’s National Assembly, submitted a parliamentary resolution calling for France to withdraw from NATO’s integrated command structure, citing President Trump’s threats to seize Greenland from NATO ally Denmark as evidence the US-led alliance threatens world peace.

So one politician from France submitted a resolution in the French government to do it.

And you…

You honestly and legitimately think that is the same thing as:

I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans

Like, you didn’t just go and try to find a source but didn’t read it. You just don’t understand how what that says and what you said are vastly different things?

I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans…

Where?

France is leading NATO air and ground troops this year, and I didn’t see anything about France leaving NATO when I just checked.

It’s the same person.

They make two types of accounts:

1. A man that got “sympathy pregnant” and their stomach won’t stop growing and it’s going to burst

2. Very petite (and barely of acceptable age) girl who somehow attacks much larger men’s bellies.

There’s nothing wrong with the fetish, it’s the nonconsensual aspect of repeatedly trying to trick people into participating instead of seeking out consensual roleplay spaces.

That’s the fucked up part.

Literally the reason they got Maduro is no one thought they’d be stupid enough to try this.

Because the fact is, military crossing borders accidentally is pretty common, now when US troops do it, they’re getting capped because they’re a credible threat, even if an ally.

1. Humans

2. Understanding what modern “ai” is

If you wanna read the whole thing deep, visit my main community “BharatReforms” and join it for further similar and informative updates.

Just so everyone is aware what “Bharat Reform” actually means:

It’s a far right extremist pro-Modi movement in India, which is the same the other communities OP moderates, just slightly less blatant to ease people into the hate.

Hindutva, right-wing ethno-nationalist political ideology that defines the cultural identity of India in terms of Hinduism and desires to make India an overtly Hindu nation-state. The term Hindutva was first defined in the early 1920s by Indian nationalist activist and politician Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Today it is most closely associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (Hindi/English: Indian People’s Party; BJP), one of the main political parties in India, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Hindi: National Volunteer Organization; RSS), a nonpolitical Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization. Hindutva supporters, or Hindutvavadis, claim to advocate for India’s significant Hindu-majority population—as of 2011 India was 79.8 percent Hindu, 14.2 percent Muslim, and the rest a mix of Christians, Sikhs, and others—and seek to redefine the idea of secularism enshrined in the Indian constitution in terms of Hindu rights.

Hindutva as an ideology must be understood as distinct from Hinduism as a religion—not all adherents of Hinduism subscribe to Hindutva—and Savarkar’s original definition asserts Hindutva as an ethnic category and eschews a specific religious connotation. In current practice the ideology tends to be strongly pro-Hindu and staunchly anti-Muslim. However, supporters often define Hindutva in purely cultural terms as a “way of life.”

It’s like rolling up MAGA and Zionists into one group

It ain’t that deep…

1. trump seized Venezuela’s oil

2. trump suddenly has a problem with people buying Russian oil

He wants them to buy “his” oil. But Venezuela has all that oil because it’s heavy crude that needs specialized processing. That means Russian oil is way cheaper. Now it’s not.

He’s not thinking streets ahead, he can only handle one step at a time.

I said it right after Venezuela, it was a one time thing.

No country would fire first on America, because what’s the worst that could happen if they didn’t?

Now that ‘they abduct you and your family and take you to America’ is an option, countries are going to shoot first and risk war.

We’re going to see UN stuff move over to Europe as well, leaders aren’t going to want to risk setting foot here.

The White House did not immediately respond when asked for further details and a list of the organizations.

Silver lining, it was probably only 3-5…

It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996…

And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.

But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton’s for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.

The solution is simple: Everyone everywhere needs to classify Xitter as a porn site

I think a large part of it’s popularity has become the porn, because it passes all those filters. Especially since Musk backed conservatives are blocking porn in red states, but as far as I know, never twitter.

Treat it like a porn site and lots of Republicans need to give up their ID to show they’re old enough. They can’t VPN around it because social media hates VPN

But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.
