That looks interesting, thanks for the link.

There’s some good things… and I’d like to keep those. No need for cultural tabula rasa.

I would assume we would just keep ruining the planet, but faster, with weaponized xyblorps, and the aliens would get caught in the crossfire. Our predicament is a symptom of human nature/society. Striving for power and dominance, even in a post-scarcity society. They’d have to remake us, stamp out the traits that bring these conflicts. But then we wouldn’t be us anymore.

Aliens capable of FTL travel might not even take note of us. Like we pass an ant hill on the side of the road. Too small, mundane, uninteresting, unimportant.

Ackshually, the blue in Chad’s flag is a shade darker.

Just a small update, I made the switch to EndeavourOS /w XFCE4 about two weeks ago and so far everything works perfectly. Even modern games on Steam w/ Nvidia graphics card. Thanks again.

Switched from W10 to EndeavourOS about two weeks ago. Happy so far. The full-screen W11 ads/W10 deprecation warnings were what pushed me over the edge.

I liked freetube very much because I could export all subs to newpipe on my android. Adblock is a bit iffy on android browsers in my opinion, and newpipe works and looks a treat. Then youtube broke freetube. After about a week of it not working I stopped looking for an update and went back to browser+adblock on pc.

Sorry, freetube devs. Still appreciate you <3

Yeah… no. Commitment ends at the tip of a pen signing a new executive order.

Never forget this: Everyone participating and ‘just following orders’ is also responsible, from the highest bureaucrats and generals to the lowest public servants and soldiers. Couldn’t have a death camp without everyone greenlighting and then Private John Doe following orders and building it.

Good fucking luck, USA. And may god have mercy on your souls.

They don’t need them anymore. Every future election will be fixed.

Thanks, I appreciate the sources.

What’s their beef with Syria still?

Also straight, healthy and neurotypical.

No, he just wants back into the background and do shady things in obscurity again. We all know the rich can’t and won’t stop meddling.

The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They’ve openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.

The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don’t follow those institutions’ orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.

I’d say I’m well aware how this works.

Of course, the situations are different. Nazi Germany had to be broken and the trials were conducted locally by the winners. Can’t just abduct high ranking military/politicians of foreign nations, that would set a bad precedent, and probably only work just exactly once. That’s why no-one is really giddy to arrest Putin or any of his boot lickers, too much unpredictable fallout, probably literal fallout.

Travel to the US for a game, end up in El Salvador. Can’t explain that.

Just following orders… the Concentration Camp guards all said the same during the Nuremberg trials. Most of them got hanged. Just FYI.

We’ll see what happens when their weakest start dying by the scores because Medicaid and social security are gone. If that and the concentration camps won’t do it, what will? For now it looks like they might become a subdued peasant folk like the Russians. Their protests and political actions won’t do anything because there is no-one listening to it, and more extreme opinions are nipped in the bud by aggressive censorship on all types of media.
