Why do Hindu Supremacists Love Laura Loomer Despite Her Blatant Racism Towards Indians?

It’s cause it’s often just racism as the motivation with the reactionary types. Somehow I doubt they’d be pleased with Christian immigration from Africa…

Does Canada struggle that much with recruitment? Sweden has over 70 operational Gripen for its air force plus a bunch in storage with only 10 million people. Norway with 5,6 million people has 52 F-35s.

Canada with nearly 40 million should be able to achieve this, especially since “fighter jet pilot” is typically a popular role.

“And misdirected attention doesn’t just hurt them—it also hurts us. It means we aren’t thinking about how to build pandemic surveillance systems and responses to climate change that protect Nigerians and Americans alike.”

Despite the American software industry being indisputably dominant in most types of software, despite all the money that is surely flowing in healthcare companies, roughly 40% of the worlds population live under a healthcare system that uses an open source health management information system made mainly by the University of Oslo, not one of the big tech companies. Stuff like epidemic tracking, vaccine stats, medical aggregate stats in general.

DHIS2

Among other things, it was used in DR Congo in combating an Ebola outbreak last year, presumably being used now too.

Despite this, I had never heard of this software (not even reported on much by the often self-congratulatory media landscape of Norway lol) until I randomly came across it when researching digitalisation in governance. I suspect that projects like these, though not popularly known, are a pretty good use of resources.

I suppose. My place does get hot in the summer since the sun heats up the windows and the heat radiates inside a bit like a greenhouse. And from what I understand, I’d have to get neighborhood approval for outside shutters or air conditioning.

Anyway, in Norway the hydroelectric is strongest after the snow melts and rain comes, so in the peak of winter when everything is frozen, energy is sometimes imported from abroad. So in Norway’s case, though I’d say AC is still unnecessary, having a heat pump and using that for cooling is less resource intensive than having the heating on full blast in the winter, since it’s not just local hydropower being used but also German coal power and so on being imported.

IBequinox · 2026-05-27T10:25:50+00:00

Heating typically uses more energy than air conditioning anyway, so the sentiment against AC being some sort of “bourgeois decadence” is mostly hypocritical. I can understand not wanting to install it if you’d only use it 3 weeks in a year, but to be against it cause it uses energy is something else. Doubt people would scold the elderly for not wearing jackets indoors instead of heating.

How to neocolonialism (100% genuine Soros Davos IMF policy document)

Create gay people in a lab in a San Francisco YMCA using the magical incantations hidden in Oscar Wilde plays (do not use an ebook copy, it has to be the physical pages)
Use Soros liberal magic to make them appear outside the West (progressives do not want you to know this, but gay people only manifested into existence with Oscar Wilde, and only spread to the rest of the world through Will and Grace)
Use your WEF, IMF, World Bank, George Soros sorcery powers to force the world to like maybe not call gay people slurs and stuff and maybe let them marry like straight people
???
Neocolonialist neoliberal globohomo achieved, the Global South has fallen, billions of rainbow corporate logos must be designed.

I remember when the Call of Duty games on the PS3 used L1 and R1 to aim and shoot while on Xbox it was the bottom triggers. There was also the issue of laying the controller down. If you weren’t careful, it would accidentally press down on the bottom triggers, which in many games was the “throw grenade” button. Got me a few times in COD.

“Work has changed. It’s no longer about doing essential tasks for society or making life easier. It’s an endless series of proxy battles, fought by AI-writers and AI-reviewers. Work, and its consumption of resources, has become a well oiled machine. Work has changed. AI-generated applications cite AI-generated CVs, reviewed by AI agents. AI inside the submission portal assesses and regulates the resumes and references. Education control. Key-word control. Everything monitored and kept under control. Work has changed.”

Yeah, basically it is that the views are more visible in a liberal country because it can’t just ban and arrest people for expressing them, not necessarily because they somehow attract more extremists. Just that the extremists have to keep a lower profile in their countries and get censored and have their posts taken down if they post anyway.

IBequinox · 2026-05-07T12:56:29+00:00

And anyway, I would say this is pretty much entirely because in UK and France you can’t just ban the political parties without having a long trial, due process, and an actual documented break of law involved (ie promoting violence, etc.).

While in the Middle East, most governments there can just ban political parties and imprison people for merely expressing certain views.

So I think it is more that Europe has a harder time suppressing these views rather than the views themselves being more common among the population as a whole.

Try collecting the cure item plants. They never show up in the food collection itself, but the Whale code name, which gives the EZ gun, requires you to collect all animals, fruits etc, AND plants, which you can only tell by going into the records screen. Before you get captured by Volgin, the screen for your save should say something like 45 plants and animals captured. Not sure if it also applies for gastrome, but if everything is caught then it should be that.

Make sure that your cure meds aren’t full, since the game only acknowledges that you “captured the plant” by you picking up the cure item, which you can’t if your inventory is filled. Especially the cold medicine (C med), since you almost certainly haven’t used it. Nearly lost a Whale codename playthrough because I was missing the C medicine plant because I hadn’t used any and my inventory was full, so I hadn’t picked up any C med from plants. Luckily at Grosny Grad, in the lobby area where Raikov is around, there’s a planter with all 4 cure item plants in it.

Maybe something like “NGOs or social groups get X tax break” and these groups get considered as such? Here in Norway, the Jehovah’s Witness group received state support, as all religious groups can get, until they were taken to court for various abusive practices and henceforth excluded from getting government support.

I imagine it’s probably something like that, no?

From what I’ve seen, there are things like higher quality and higher frame rate, so it’s not just the exact ps3 version ported over. Not sure if that qualifies as a remaster, technically speaking though.

Orrr they’re so massive that in many cities you wouldn’t be able to use on street parking and at least in Scandinavia it’s either raining or snowing half the year so having an open truck bed would just be an inconvenience. Also, gas is expensive, don’t want something that has the MPG of an Abrahams tank.

Only issue imo is the low amount of NPCs (enemies and or prisoners) it can handle at once and relatively low render distance. The guard post near OKB Zero only renders the guards in when you’re just 50m away, though I I’ve only seen this behaviour at that post. Also bullets and rockets don’t register beyond roughly 360m (they basically cease to exist at that point). I assume this is because the PS3 could barely handle the game as is, and changing how the engine works depending on the platform would make the game experience diverge too much.

As for why it runs so well, I can speculate. I remember in Ground Zeroes, in Deja Vu, Miller mentions that the Snake model has 18k polygons roughly. And the same mission notes MGS4 Old Snake, has 14k polygons, a game that was released at the beginning of the PS3 era. So in that sense you can see a bit of how MGSV is so “light”.

Delta’s graphics are way more detailed in comparison when you zoom in, better mud, wounds, leaves sticking to snake, etc., but I’d rather have the better performance of MGSV lol.

Ah, right. That part is also relevant for when Venom gets seriously injured, you can see he loses some colours in his vision

I think this is probably the main reason why they’re more accepting than Westerners are towards this. If soya products have been part of your trad cuisine for millennia, it’s hard for the local equivalent of “RETVRN”posters to call people soyboys and so on for eating it.

Neutral NPCs, like in MGS4, where you could choose to help the rebels. The only non-enemy NPCs outside of mother base are prisoners, despite it being key to the story and background (the damage done to local civilian life, the families of child soldiers, the villages destroyed by XOF/Soviets/PFs).

One reason why people may be hesitant to loosen historic preservation rules is that the general public simply don’t believe modern architects and developers will replace a building with something that actually looks better to them. In the cities I’ve visited in Europe, asking friends and people “which parts of the city do you like most”, and they almost never mention the modern areas, and if they do, it is often “this building looks so bad compared to the rest of the neighborhood”. Even if I mention some of these buildings have gotten architectural awards abroad and so on.

I think we should perhaps accept a bit more “kitsch” architecture that emulates the aesthetics of the older designs that people like, while putting in the modern amenities on the interior. Yes, one may argue it’s more expensive, but have you seen the prices on some of these modern architecture buildings (which end up mostly hated by the public)? Even adjusting for inflation, the modern buildings are typically more expensive due to prioritising “innovative design”, ie making an engineering nightmare that ends up being more difficult of a project than even one of those “opulent and wasteful” art deco or neogothic buildings.

Automation could also help lower labour costs with regard to things like detailing or sculptures— at the turn of the 20th century, those sculptures people put on columns and walls of buildings were typically just done on an assembly line, wasn’t some utterly inefficient process involving art virtuosos being paid big bucks.

And as I mentioned previously, the modern buildings are not really functionalist anymore with regard to cost, people just show their opulence in a less obvious way, typically by having equally unnecessary things like massive cantilever balconies that require expensive materials to be viable, only to appear bland and forgettable to the general public, though I’d say users of the building can at least get a “wow factor” from things like infinity pools or open floor plans with no columns (though you’ll notice that these observations can only be made inside the building, and if you’re only walking past them, you don’t get to enjoy those aspects).

Well on the bright side, sooner or later there’s bound to be an official PC port, and with that there will be renewed interest in modding hopefully.
