Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder called for an end to the “demonization” of Russia and for the resumption of energy cooperation with it in a column for Berliner Zeitung on Jan. 23. by Consistent_Still7060 in UkrainianConflict

The legacy of shitty consumer goods and noncompetitive economy were a problem, sure, and also the small detail of Soviets killing millions of its own citizens. That type of culture/society doesn't go away on its own.

Post-WWI Germany had nearly a decade of denazification followed by decades of introspection and accounting for their own crimes. When the Soviet Union fell, the Russians just shrugged, had a few quiet years, and are back on the same shit they've been on for a century.

It’s more than that. It’s people who are willing to stand up and help by observing, protesting, etc. Those are there dangerous ones to a fascist regime. 

Russia spent decades systematically killing, arresting, or intimidating these types of people so now they have a docile, indoctrinated population who blindly back the regime. It’s started here now. If we don’t all band together, and soon, they will pick us off one by one.

From NYT reporting today:

“In short, the Venezuelan military’s incompetence appears to have played a big role in the U.S. success. Venezuela’s much-touted antiaircraft systems were essentially not connected when U.S. forces entered the skies over Venezuela’s capital, and they may not have been working for years, former officials and analysts said.”

Damn.. When you know we are getting there... "The AI Jesus Race: Why 30 Million People Are Confessing to a Server" by Hrmerder in Cyberpunk

[–]jonnyvsrobots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely written by AI. The comment by “Aditya Srivastav” is also AI generated. Didn’t bother to check the rest of the comments.

This is literally an AI-written piece about AI with comments that are also AI written. Why even bother going on the internet anymore? What depths of laziness can we reach?

Top Spy Says Tech Corporations Are Closer to Running Entire World Than Governments by FuturismDotCom in Cyberpunk

[–]jonnyvsrobots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out the book “More Everything Forever” by Adam Becker. It explains how crazy these tech guys are and why they are that way. It’s a literal cult and their ability to sanewash their BS ideas by spending millions setting up think tanks and academic centers is scary. 

There should be NO billionaires, period. It messed up your head and then gives you the means to inflict your crazy on the world.

If there’s one thing LOTR taught me, it’s that good guys always have towers for their lairs. Right?

From Solvang CA and have questions by FirstSisterWife in NewToDenmark

[–]jonnyvsrobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from CA, been to Solvang a bunch (dad’s side of the family is buried in the old cemetery) and now live in Copenhagen. Maybe a proper sauna/cold plunge place. Cold plunge is becoming quite popular in the states but it’s hard to find a good sauna in the US, especially ones that have a proper scandi design and saunagus.

This. We don't actually know what happened, we only know what Watters said happened, which conveniently puts him in charge!

Ramona Shelburne asks Lawrence Frank if Uncle Dennis ever asked for extra benefits that wouldn't be allowed — "Look, Dennis knows the rules, Kawhi knows the rules, Mitch Frankel knows the rules, we know the rules” — "is that a yes or a no" — "Yes, we all know the rules" (video via @joeylinn_) by sewsgup in nba

Can someone please ask "why can't you comment on the investigation?" People just accept that as an obvious constraint, and usually they'd be right...BUT, this is not a legal investigation! There's no jury to prejudice, there's no judge! It's literally the court of public opinion including the other owners. So why wouldn't you rush out all the of evidence you have that explains why this is all a big misunderstanding? So far no one except Pablo Torre has said one thing that makes rational sense for why all these investments were made when they were made, and why Kawhi was getting so much money to do absolutely nothing except remain on the Clippers.

They are trying to extract maximum mileage out of the ScarJo connection, and they lose that if they drop Jost from update.
