On the note of Fiio, linsoul is pretty good. I’d say China has all the good IEM and music players nowadays.

My only real take here is basically every single libertarian eventually becomes a technofascist. Why is that? Idk. But it happens over and over again.

Ah that’s where you draw the line? Not killing and starving millions in Gaza, Sudan? Not killing millions in invasions in the Middle East?

Ok, you know where your allegiance is. You’re wrong, as your “good billionaires” would eat you for an afternoon snack. But have fun.

Dude comments are public, you can easily see all I’ve ever commented 😂

The oligarchs and billionaires. Or do you only oppose them if they are “asiatic” or something?

But then you defend their plans and expansions like what they are doing in the Balkans, Southern and Eastern Europe.

Tropic Thunder! My favorite comedy. It’s so stupid but so funny.

I mean you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♂️

Not die in the coming global wars for resources. But I mean realistically I’m not well positioned for that.

Market value and value are different things. Value is how much a product is socially necessary, and how hard it is to produce. Market value then is what people end up paying for it in a free market. They are often different, but in aggregate for the whole end up being the same.

Third generation citizens are not immigrants. They are native citizens.

Kinda terrible examples tho…

Sure “Hitler lost”. Cause he killed himself and stuff. But the Nazis won. The US saved most officers and gave them jobs in NATO and the nascent west German government. Then used them to hunt and undermine communists all over the world. The Nazis themselves kinda won. The Cold War was basically a Nazi war, which they won.

The south “lost”. But after they lost the US became the most racially segregated country in the world and became the chief inspiration to the Nazis.

Then the US literally bombed Japan TWICE for no fucking reason other than spooking Stalin.

You have 3 wrong examples, that actually show we are living in the timeline where the Empire won.

I cant read twitter threads I have no account.

But come on, they were a bit shit on Corbyn when the AS bs first started but they’ve been defending him fiercely ever since, up to this day.

And then being friends with Zionists idk, that would be surprising.

And also, George Galloway can f off…. There’s PLENTY to criticise about him.

Now imagine you have 0 knowledge or understanding of anything.

You don’t understand there is a thing called vision. You don’t know about dimensions. You don’t understand that objects exist. That things have shapes, colors perhaps. That there are materials.

You don’t even have eyes per se, or any other sensor. You can’t see.

You don’t understand what thoughts are. What concepts are, nevertheless any concepts themselves.

If I showed you a side-plane picture of a car, directly plugged into your brain, do you think you’d recognize “cars” if we suddenly also gave you eyes and legs and told you walk around downtown?

From the moment you are born you are “trained”. From the moment the first strains of organic molecules closed themselves off from their environment, they’ve been “trained”.

I really like BreakThrough News. Also Novara Media that people have mentioned.

To understand a recumbent bicycle you have to understand bicycles. To understand bicycles you have to understand wheels. You have to understand humans, and human transportation. What IS transportation. What are roads. What is a pedal. What is steering. How physics works for objects in motion. Etc etc etc etc.

You truly underestimate the amount of context and previous knowledge you need to understand even the simplest things.

You know what bicycle are though. And you’re heard of recumbent bikes or things similar to it.

If you had never heard of anything similar at all to bikes, and saw a picture of a recumbent bike from the front only, you’d probably think “ I have no fucking idea what that is”.

Idk man, weird for you to think humans can kinda learn fully about something without all the required context.

What if the human had never seen or heard of anything similar to cars?

I bet it’d be confused as much as the llm.

EU joining BRICS wen??!?!

South Korea is literally a US military base disguised as a country. It was a fascist dictatorship for decades, and afterwards it has been ruled by an oligarchy. And it’s 100% lockstep with the US.

Japan… was that yes. It still is in many ways (Okinawa). But it’s also more independent than SK. It’s closer to the Western European countries in its relation to the US.

Germany also has a shit ton of US military bases. But it’s not as peripheral as SK.

Seems pretty obvious to me.
