I swear these two's real job is as a honeypot for adventurism.

I agree with a few of his criticisms of Hakim's video. He failed to establish why the eyewitness reports that side with him are more credible than those that disagree (calls them fabricated but didn't seem to support that) and put too much emphasis on the Chai Ling interview without showing that she was a leader or massively influential in the protests. He claims that the will of the people was subverted but doesn't justify that within the video.

That said, I think reacting to and critiquing the video isn't worth much if you don't at least attempt to tackle the death count. Just throwing out that some estimates go as high as 10k without judging them at all is worthless at best. If 10k people died then I think it's pretty obviously a massacre.

They started as a piracy site and gained name recognition that way, then went "legit" and started handing out copyright claims like candy.

Yeah federation gets confusing. A user from one instance posts on another instance and you view it through a third instance.

I might be misreading your comment but the user is from .ca and the post is in .world.

Once as a teenager at an MtG event my phone died and I needed to call my parents so I asked a random guy if I could borrow his. Not only did he hand it over, but he told me I might need to step outside to get a better signal. Sometimes people are chill and trusting.

"The Azov Brigade, known for its tenacious but ultimately unsuccessful defense of the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol early in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is regarded as a particularly effective fighting force.

Literally known for losing

Eventually, the generator and the discriminator begin to agree more as they settle into something called Nash equilibrium. This is arguably the central concept in game theory. It represents a kind of balance in a game—the point at which no players can better their personal outcomes by shifting strategies. In rock-paper-scissors, for example, players do best when they choose each of the three options exactly one-third of the time, and they will invariably do worse with any other tactic.

This last sentence is completely wrong, yeah?

Everything I'm seeing is that he "could' go there and they're "ready" for him.

I'm pretty sure you have to enroll yourself but are legally required to do so (but it's been a while since I turned 18)

Ideally something covering at least the time leading up to the revolution up until now. I'm skeptical of Western accounts, and I'm having trouble finding leftist reviews of books like "The Search for Modern China" to show that they're not full of propaganda.

Any suggestions?
