Let me tell you, as someone with potentially a bit of wealth to give out when I kick the bucket, every week with my kids I get this idea at least once. In some ways, it’s the last bit of power we have until becoming of unsound mind. I’m hoping they’ll grow out of making me feel that.

I’m gonna steel man this one and state that those officers are there to protect him more than protect others from him. That’s why school shooters have fewer officers escorting them, because who the fuck cares if somebody murders those monsters.

Potato, potahto.

Socialism is when the workers own the means of production; How would that cause genocide in your opinion?

What do you mean, “would”?

So really really bog standard socialist stuff.

Why didn’t they compare it to Stalin? His worst abuses were after Nazis and it would’ve tracked more anyway because of the political angle and because both Stalin and al-Assad committed crimes on their “own people”.

They have uranium though, which could be more important in the future. Even if Russia gets all the land they currently control by military, plenty of those uranium deposits would remain with Ukraine.

There is a lot in Ukraine to “steal”. It’s a large land mass with a long border with both Belarussia and Russia. They still have plenty of Black Sea border, and with proper support could have lot more. Breadbasket of Europe, plenty of nuclear plants and knowledge in that area. The Zone. Ukrainian people, one of the oldest cultures in Europe with all that that entails.

Putin has repeatedly mentioned in public interviews that he wants to restore the Russian Empire. Do you think he’s lying?

I’m not sure if I accept you dropping the burden of proof on me here.

Because it’s the only way to deal with the problem.

If somebody sets a house on fire and then the firefighters come to spray water on it, should we blame them for causing water damage? Although I guess in your thinking Milei is putting out the fire by bulldozing the house with the people inside.

Whichever it ends up being, I think it’s still generally true that in the political world, people who increase fixed costs, causing future financial problems, are never among those who are most blamed for the problems. It’s always the fixers who are blamed.

The people who create the problems are celebrated. The people who deal with the consequences of those problems, like Milei is doing, are reviled.

This is why we cannot have nice things.

Meta is just trying to protect their intellectual property, meaning everything anyone has created on any of their platforms.

Yep, they own all of it, including every single comment anyone has written on Whatsapp.

Well all joking aside, he committed first degree murder so yeah. He should be prosecuted and sentenced to prison for several decades.

This should not be a difficult stance to make, and if you’re having trouble reaching this conclusion, you need to take a very hard look in the mirror and get off the internet.

I see how it might be difficult to notice the difference. Perhaps read both the title of the post and headline one more time, this time taking the time to check each word?

The difference is subtle, but it transforms the whole sentiment.

The gunman continues firing, interrupted by a brief gun jam,

sucks when that happens

Title does not match headline in a significant way. Reported.

When games work so well on Linux these days, it seems to me that there is absolutely no reason for Windows to exist anymore. Why does anyone use it?

Lol and the context is “What’s new in Windows Security”. Cannot make this shit up.
