Ummm, not to rain on your parade, but there is an allotted number of posts. You can only make 40 posts in a 4 hour period.

Russia is a sovereign nation. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. What possible reason would Russia have to invade Ukraine? I generally think that the entity which strike first and invades another nation's territories has more explaining to do than the entity which did not attack and invade.

If Russia invaded because they think the Ukrainian government was mistreating their own people, then why not invasions all over the world, including the USA and North Korea? Why not fix how they treat their own population before invading another country to tell them how to treat their population?

Your implication that Russia isn't bad does not hold up to any sort of scrutiny.

Speak for yourself moron. The Crown is still hated by millions, if not billions. The entire royal family should get the French treatment.

Interesting. So you are saying millions of people in Ukraine did not die in 1932-1933? It seems impossible that a lie of such magnitude would go unquestioned until now. A million+ people dying is hard to fake. Or are you saying they died for other reasons? I heard they starved to death... which is very weird for such a fertile region. Were there plagues of locusts?

I dunno man, you sound weird. I feel far more certain that millions died of starvation due to government intervention than whatever it is that you are selling.

All of those incidents are proof that it is over. There is no going back, as it will return to where it is now. A fully wiped slate is the only way forward. It will take a long time for enough people to see past the propaganda, so the correction may not even happen within my lifetime. There is only misery until it does. The screws are being tightened. There will be no release.

Heh. it's rsilvergun again. I should have known as soon as I had a visceral reaction to your absurd takes.

It is weird how you lay the blame on the unorganized masses instead of the organized groups actually seizing the power. The whole purpose of government is to protect us against the organized groups seeking us harm. On a one to one basis, we can all defend ourselves fairly well, but we can not defend ourselves against organized groups, so we created an organized group to protect us.

When our organized group (colloquially called government) is infiltrated by another organized group, it is not the individuals fault as they are powerless. We had to give up that power in order to create our own organized group to protect us... which it is no longer doing.

But yeah, the people doing the bad things are not to blame. It is the people allowing others to do bad things to them that are to blame.

I have no idea how your bullshit keeps getting moderated upwards. The Slashdot folks are not THAT stupid... which means you run multiple accounts in order to "achieve" your visible status.

Why is poising our thoughts so important to you bro? Are you a government agent? A PsyOp from Russia? An agent of the Illuminuti?

Regardless, you suck and somehow or another, I keep seeing you. I never log in to read, so, I guess I will never be rid of your nonsense, but you still suck. Your views suck. Your thought processes suck. And, as far as I can tell, your motivations suck.

But yeah, the people doing bad things are not at fault. That is what they do, bad things. It is people allowing bad things to happen to them that are at fault. If you want to break society and government, keep that shit up mother fucker. We will eventually claim our power back from cowards like you and the people you support and you will not like it (but, neither will we, which is why we tried going with government in the first place).

It would ebb immediately if apartments were forced to include power in their parking spots. Until then, you can expect about 60% of the population to fight you tooth and nail to keep their lives from getting demonstrably worse.

That just means Microsoft will have to pay more to have incompatibility be the default. Any burden on Microsoft is a good thing, but the burden will still be small compared to their overall carrying capacity. A straw can break a camels back ....

When you are about to come, you do not care about kings and laws. You feel like God. "They" will not let you escape their control. Not even for an instant. Combined with pulling in the reins even tighter with money, there will be fewer babies being made from all current generations in the Western sphere of influence. (your nations are all fictitious, the true rulers are not bound by the concept of nations. Trump is NOT at the top)

There it is. There was something nagging me as I was reading the summary but I couldn't quite nail it down. You nailed it perfectly. Thank you.

(brains are weird and this experience tells me something about conscious processing)

Where is the music that is full of human spirit and culture? I have the classics stored, but where is the new stuff? As someone sagely commented above, the AI music is indistinguishable from a top 10 radio station.

It might be free NOW, but it is also dead. I have not heard anyone singing it in years at birthday parties. Fuck Sony, Fuck copyright. Fuck greed. And fuck all of the people who played along.

Sure, but WHY did they learn that? I recall back in 2003 skilled people having a very hard time finding jobs. So much so that many people were out of work for more than a year. The environment is even worse now.

So, because one person in that "generation" was able to do fine, everyone else should also be fine? I am uncertain of the logic. Just because something is possible, that does not mean it will happen regardless of any efforts to achieve. There are guaranteed to be at least 10,000 people who want my job and are, provisionally, capable... and yet they do not have it. Are you saying that there are enough jobs to go around because it looks like that is what you are implying here.

There is absolutely nothing that the USA offers that can not be found elsewhere for purchase. If we abuse our trading partners, why would they continue to trade with us? At some point, the rest of the world is going to say, "fine, keep your tariffs, we will not participate, there is nothing more to negotiate"

There are over 7 billion people on the planet and the USA doesn't even have half a billion people. The USA occupies a relatively small piece of land compared to the rest of the world. What happens to the USA when the rest of the world says, "fuck you, we won't negotiate anymore"?

Apparently, both yourself and Trump have something in common: you both think that the USA is the center of the world, not merely the wealthiest and most powerful.

Let's see how dedicated to your morals you really are: Do you support the Cherokee Nation killing every single man woman and child in the Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina geographical area? Or how about the Navajo Nation killing every single man, woman and child in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona? We could do the same for Europe, including Ukraine which were originally another people that were displaced through agrression.

If I am a terrorist sympathizing scumbag, then you are a bootlicking genocidal maniac. The only difference is that I do not support violence as a method of acquiring the things that I desire. Apparently, you do. Even against children. How are you any better than the Ruzzians and Palestinians that you so clearly hate?
