  • Zelenskyy accuses Brazil of being pro-Russia, slams peace proposal

    Jump

  • I wish. Min wage in some parts of China provides a similar purchasing power as I have making more than 4x the min wage in the US. I would actually be able to afford a house in my lifetime if that were true.

  • In fact, when losing a war miserably, one should expect to make concessions to the winning side. This delusional belief that losers can dictate term terms will result in the death of every Ukrainian man of fighting age.

  • You don’t ask the loser what they want to stop the war. You go to the side that’s winning and say, “what would it take to get you to stop?”. Either Zelensky is a fool or he’s so posturing for more western money, because he has really no leverage and so his insistence on continuing the war is costing hundreds of thousands of lives. Support domestically for the war has collapsed, tens of thousands have fled the country, tens of thousands more dodge the draft. Everyone willing to fight in this war has already done so, they’re literally arresting people for draft dodging and telling them go to prison or join the military and we’ll absolve you of the “crime” of not wanting to fight a losing war. Is this just a collapse in western understanding of war after so long without a major one? Or is it just selfishness on the part of the west who cares more about “hurting Russia” than it does about irradiating Ukraine and destroying an entire generation of people? Or is it just idiocy on the part of Ukrainian leadership, who keep getting removed for not wanting to continue sending their men to die?

  • Environmental activists urge Kamala Harris to go big on climate: ‘She’s got to seize the moment’

    Jump

  • So what you’re saying is it is genuinely damage reduction to work towards the destruction of the US because Americans are so selfish they will overconsume the planet into massive environmental degradation.

  • There Is No Spinning How Poorly Sony’s ‘Concord’ Open Beta Went On Steam

    Jump

  • It’s not bad, better than overwatch 2, but that’s but saying much.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets vandalized by climate activists

    Jump

  • Mass transit works just fine in rural areas when it’s properly constructed. Busses are about the single worst option for mass transit, and options like high speed rail excel in connecting rural areas to urban and exurban areas with better job opportunities and connecting urbanites to rural areas, both of which bring money to the rural areas.

  • Here's why modern gaming suuuuucks.

    Jump

  • There’s a lot of games that do very well that don’t fall into your stereotypes.

    Sure, CoD sells the best. That doesn’t mean Disco Elysium sucks though, or Citizen Sleeper, or Stardew Valley, or Sekiro, or Psychonauts 2, or Hollow Knight, or any number of great games. Games that were impossible when manufacture was monopolized by Nintendo’s cartel, or when cartridges were required and made games cost $60 in 1995.

    Gaming is not immune from dialectics. It too exists in a tension between contradictions. It is both terrible, and wonderful, as it was during the golden age you are highlighting from the past, when games cost far more money and were available to far fewer people. When there was no way for one person (Stardew) or two (Hollow Knight) to be able to make and distribute an entire game without submitting themselves to subservience under a publisher.

  • Big problems require solving root issues

    Jump

  • Overdose prevention sites are still just treating the symptoms, but at least in a way that doesn’t attack the victims. Offer free meaningful rehab treatment to addicts like China did. They went from 30% of their population addicted to opium to nearly 0 within a few short years this way. We shouldn’t be encouraging destructive drug use, nor should we be criminalizing victims of drug companies and criminal organizations.

  • Byron Bay is to be stripped of its nudist beach – and naturists blame ‘conservative creep’

    Jump

  • I swam naked in the fountain at our towns courthouse as a child, and it was fine. You’re weird and creepy.

  • China spots US military aircraft deploying submarine detector in South China Sea

    Jump

  • There is historical record in the west going back to at least WWII acknowledging that area as Chinese territorial waters. Just because you only follow news cycles while they’re hot, doesn’t mean all of history prior to now stops existing.

  • This is What Prime Air Drone Delivery Looks Like - Core77

    Jump

  • Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.

  • This is What Prime Air Drone Delivery Looks Like - Core77

    Jump

  • I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.

  • There are better ways to protest climate change than spray painting Stonehenge [with easily removed corn starch] | Just Stop Oil activists could take a page from the civil rights movement, experts say

    Jump

  • There’s news articles claiming MLK was secretly funded by the USSR to bring disorder to the US, and it was considered credible at that time by the majority of the white population. The point isn’t people’s reactions, when the civil rights act passed the majority of America thought MLK was a terrible person harming America. The point is to create enough disruption that the people with the power to do so are forced to take action or risk outright collapse of the social order.

  • Gen Z are desperate to be eco-friendly but LinkedIn says they’re so underskilled they actually pose a ‘risk’ to climate progress

    Jump

  • There’s actually already a solution for it, but right now it only focuses on endangered birds.

    Good candidate for nationalization, that is, if we lived in a country that cared about solving it and not just coming up with excuses to prop up fossil fuels.

  • I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands

  • Dude radiation from just being in space permanently damages your organs. They don’t even think we can survive the trip to mars, much less live there.

  • Several hundred attempts.

  • Why the FDA will have a hard time properly regulating cannabis

    Jump

  • Here it’s like $100-140/oz, but quality fell massively after legalization. Like, really, genuinely, the worst chronic from before legalization is better than all but the best after.

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2

    Jump

  • It’s not every day for everyone, but I used video calling every day to talk to my foreign spouse, and to talk to my little brothers when I was overseas. It’s pretty amazing overall.

  • China will include Australia in the list of unilateral visa-free countries

    Jump

  • I used to be extremely critical of China And the CCP. Used to post publicly on my Facebook and other social media about them. I just got back in April from China after deprogramming myself from decades of Sinophobia, and I had absolutely no issues.
