I didn't expect "Russia shouldn't bomb civilians" to be so controversial.

What economic system do you support? I seem to have stumbled into a world that thinks very differently than me on some topics so I want to know how similar or different we are on others

I'm sure you like to pretend to think NATO is bad. But you don't. Not really.

Really cool that you know more about me than I do.

I bet we have lots of beliefs in common. I just don't understand or support your reluctance to say Russia is doing some very bad things

Lmao

I get it, it can be hard to say killing civilians is bad. You used a lot of words but just couldn't get it out but that's okay because we both learned a lot along the way!

Ps I agree NATO bad

I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on that

But like my question? Avoiding?

Okay I'm feeling lost in this convo a little so can we backup a sec

Is Russia's invasion and bombing of Ukraine bad?

nazis and their accomplices are bad. simple as.

Completely agree. But "which Ukrainians are Nazis" is Not defined here. Bad actors who just want to kill Ukrainians can imply there are more Nazis in Ukraine than there actually are

It's a statement about Ukrainian Nazis i.e. Azov, and their accomplices, i.e. the Ukrainian state and NATO.

How it's written is absolutely clearly not a statement on civilians, bystanders, anti-war movements, or others neutral to the conflict.

It's actually not clear at all because the only quantifier it provides is an amorphous category.

If a racist person makes a statement about " degenerates" they can defend it saying they were only talking about a very small group but the reality is they're signaling to other racists they're talking about the whole culture.

Your coworkers are afraid the author is including civilians and bystanders in the group "Nazis".

I make an S shape

It said two but expanding them said no comments loaded

I assume some of the bugs will be fixed in the coming months

My guess is they're not self destructing. They're pissing off parts of the user base to profit more from the rest of the user base. I'd guess it's all calculated and profitable. Except whatever twitter is doing that's just a mess

Their goal wasn't to win you over. It was to create a loyal user base of ad consumers and they succeeded at that

I also succeeded at finding a platform to consume content that isn't ad riddled. Yet.

I think that's partially a cultural difference. The original artist is Chinese and being a murderous warlord is seen as sexier in the USA than in China

I could be wrong

if they don’t, they don’t.

Id like to live in the world you think we do.

Interesting how gains in productivity are framed as hurting workers, not that the economic system that incentivizes giving workers less is hurting workers

My understanding is it has to do with deleted comments not having a placeholder, so the comments you do see look like they're nested strangely

Mushrooms however are a giga based species

I believe this sparked the dark brandon name. Originally made by a propagandist cartoonist to make Biden look evil, the left memed it because he's an old man so the juxtaposition is funny, then libs just adopted it as a cool way to brand Biden

And that link somehow doesn't open well for me (something about a bracket I believe

The mobile market has plenty of competition.

Fucking lol dude. I'm no economist but there's no shot the mobile phone marketplace counts as "plenty of competition". It's essentially a duopoly. And the barrier to entry is massive.
