I meant it more as a figure of speech, there are multiple practically okay posters that exist.

No replies please. [gets into a comically small tictac style UFO and flies away]

That's too bad, practically the only user in this thread who seemed cool has deleted. Honestly cannot blame them. If you don't get a sense of horror looking at people readying themselves for another four years of posting like this about American politics, you should. I tried blocking 80-plus people but it's still just so bad. I will take this as my cue to leave. Maybe I will be back when I finish writing about how fears of UFOs and mind control and other phantasms are used to control psychologically vulnerable people, how infiltrated nonviolent antifascist or social change orgs take advantage of the fear of informants to control their recruits' behavior, and how that kind of dovetails with the oblique denial of "conspiracy thinking" you see from much of the online left still.

I will be back with a doozy or not at all. If I am not back I have either decided to turn it into something better or died. Look around the corner. Don't reply to this.

On the sidelines of the climate summit in Baku, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told journalists whose songs he listens to in his car.

The plot thickens

Honestly looking like kind of a shitty deal for the Sandy Hook families contrary to what I was told in the thread earlier? I am not a lawyer though so really it's all hearsay. Or I think it is hearsay. Ask a lawyer if it is hearsay.

Bump that up a few decillion dollars for him.

Lmao, well good reason not to speculate about appointments, last I will say about the subject

Oh, well if the industry magazines' benchmarks say so then I won't bother you with my own experiences with switching... Clearly I was spreading disinformation. Nevermind! 😅

Personally I found Apple does what Samsung does slightly better, but there is no comparison with the battery conservation of customized operating systems on droids. Samsung and Apple both suck.

I mean if you were framing dedollarization in the terms of the Youtube thumbnails about it this could be very shocking. Yet another case of proofreading Western news turning into mindlessly reinforcing its premises. You're literally just repeating Bloomberg and the fed to me.

I like what Jan Oberg said about Western censorship. 10% truth, 20% lie, 70% omission. People prefer to think of it as more than half truth and ignore the omissions.

It's like literally every single opportunity so I get zero points for guessing.

Yeah thank you, I was gonna say "Lebanon needs air defense" is insanely reductive. I do not trust any of these non-Marxist antiwar leftist journalists. Madly suspicious people even if they did actually get their rhetoric right.

Very cool how this non-Marxist antiwar left figure can just click her fingers and get legions of you to turn into reply guys complaining about Iran and Russia and China sitting on their hands. I need to look for more of these examples. It's a persistent strategy of co-option.

Like, "Lebanon" needs air defense? Huh? What has the Lebanese army been doing? Is she implying they can just ship stuff to Hezbollah really easily? Ridiculous.
