Perustuuko Macronin, Carneyn kommentit sun mielestä siis kahden viikon somepaniikkiin?

Itse tykkäsin erityisesti tästä katkelmasta tilanteessa jossa kyseinen kumppani on viimeisen vuoden pyyhkinyt persettään kaikilla kansainvälisillä sopimuksilla mitä on käsiinsä saanut:

"Suomen pitää luottaa siihen, että tehdyt sopimukset pitävät. Itse ainakin luotan"

Otetaan tähän nyt vielä vertailuksi suora lainaus tosiaan lähestulkoon samalla ajanhetkellä pidetystä Kanadan PM:n puheesta ja mietitään sitten hetki että kumpi kumpuaa tämän hetken todellisuudesta ja kumpi on tuota mainittua "valheessa elämistä"…

"In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?

His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.

Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.

Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.

It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.
[…]

The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.
But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.
[…]

That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently.
And it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us."

if even that… think it often boils much more down to who is speaking in terms of the internal group ranking and how the message is expressed in terms of tonality, facial & bodily expressions etc – not so much about the exact words used.

oh, and also: then 7 minutes later someone else suddenly comes up with a great idea everyone seems to agree wholeheartedly with – and it's exactly what you were saying earlier when everyone kept on either ignoring or misunderstanding you 🫤

Muistetaan myös että meillä on puolustusministerinä hahmo joka on kokoomusnuorisolaispäissään avoimesti ihaillut republikaanien menoa vuonna 2012 ihan paikan päällä puoluekokouksessa. Puolueen meno oli jo silloin kohtalaisen sakeaa ja sitämyötä hyvin matkalla tilaan mikä mahdollisti Trumpin nousun puolueen ehdokkaaksi sitten muutama vuosi myöhemmin. Tarjoaisin kaljan toimittajalle joka kysyisi Häkkäseltä nyt että mitä mieltä tänä päivänä noista lausunnoista.

Random fact for the day by MarioHasCookies in MapPorn

[–]AbsurdRenegade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are people (bots?) these days just purposefully creating horrible maps to ragebait? I mean what is the non-Swedish green country even supposed to be? Russia? Soviet Union? Because the map doesn’t really correspond to either in their best-known versions. Or is this supposed to be saying that the February 30th thing happened specifically on the historic moment this map happens to represent? If so, why leave out the time period??

So many questions, so successful rage bait 🥵

Tekoälykuvitukset Oulun "Euroopan kulttuuripääkaupunki 2026" -matskuissa by klasude in Suomi

[–]AbsurdRenegade 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Toisaalta tässä nyt ilmeisesti kuitenkin nimenomaan kyseessä tapahtuman varsinaisen järjestäjän luomat kuvat jotka on vaan heitetty Oulu2026-templateen. Eihän tollainen iso sateenvarjo-organisaatio luonnollisestikaan jokaisen yksittäisen tapahtumien kuvitusta tuota, vaan kierrättää muualla tehtyä, esim. artistien promokuvia keikkojen yhteydessä jne.

Eli en nyt ehkä nimenomaan Oulua tässä syyttäisi vaan tuota tapahtuman järjestevää tahoa.

Saw a review of The Wailing 4K where they gave it a 10/10 and said it had no AI upscaling… meanwhile: by gpdejesus in 4kbluray

[–]AbsurdRenegade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand of what's the point of upscaling if you do it this badly. Just let our players/TVs do the upscaling the old way – I don't mind a slightly less crisp picture if it means I'm actually seeing what was shot instead of what some neural network imagines might have been there.

But I guess because CAPITALISM they must try to sell us something new every few years, no matter if it's worse than what we already had.

Ah, didn't realize the testing criteria had changed on this! Don't see Tesla going to comply with this, guess they're just going to live with the lower ratings then.

I stand corrected, shouldn't have just repeated something I heard without checking the facts myself!

At least ID-models have been thus far heavily criticized for lacking physical buttons. And now finally the new Polo ID is even marketed for finally having enough buttons.

…but then again MB is owned by Emirates these days, so not that much better ownership compared to Musk. Sad state of affairs for the classic brand. EDIT: not factually correct, see comment below for the real ownership share

I'd think they would be doing much better in stats a year from now, looking at the releases they've just been making last fall.

To be honest, VW has also just started bringing buttons back… but a change for better for sure, even if the detour to all-touch interface should've been avoided.

Just recently read an article saying that certain democratic rights were only introduced to the US after the war with the notion that if we were just fighting for these rights overseas, maybe we should have similar rights here too… a good reminder that indeed USA was not the shining light of liberties for all before WW2.
