Nothing positive is needed. It's an outrage engine that keeps you involved by edging on the max level of disturbance you are comfortable to consume. Seeing, posting reactions, having likes enables you to keep it going.

Thank you.

There's an ad in the end if you want to trim it.

90 minutes of music video montage. I liked it back then too. It looked very video-gamey and edgy.

Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.

I am from this vodka state so I may be biased, but as I see it, some republicans don't really care about this issue and pick that position only to be contrarian and farm votes on 'anything against dems'-train. They aren't clever, really. Russia does benefit from it and probably encourage that with it's money, but for republicans it's not about Ukraine, Russia or anything, it's about owning the dems and getting into the office. And some of them probe even this edgy position.

What is your solution and who'd benefit from it the most?

Weren't they a tankie? I've heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don't have proofs myself.

What exactly to thank him for?

I wonder if calling their board of directors and investors by name could've reached news.

They are catering to hardcore misogynists who want women be treated like pets. The right to decide your apperance, having self respect, being picky about your partner and enjoying yourself as a woman in general is against some imaginary trad values, and what men who are usually in their militant clique don't like, not to say it's too 'foreign' to their taste. Producing drugs and abusing kids aren't tho – they walked back on fighting these after initially saying so iirc.

They are a militant cartel with a religious cover. And they bend whatever they want from it to control masses, as they have a local monopoly on saying what is ultimately good or bad by the will of God (since they have guns). Is it so uncommon?

My AK says I am the chad there. That chad wants to fuck and have spare cash. Isn't it convinient my retelling of the book says it's a natural order?

Never happened, but there it is once again.

Russian girls part was the best for it shows how unhinged they are if they aren't a troll.

I happened to be born there, and I've seen a discussion about who's to blame for so long it's nausiating.

Idk what foreigners mean by that, probs they just react to the news and socialize by saying that without a second thought most of the time.

But the sad truth is regular people were purposefully fucked in the head for two decades (after just ten years of promising chaos). That's not easy to undo. They won't magically wake up after wishing another drone strike on Kiyv, they don't believe they deserve political power or freedom, all they talk is how they are wronged by the world and how they get their sweet revenge.

If they weren't so submissive it couldn't have happened. It's a learnt serf mentality. And they are complicit in that tragedy as well. Not as much, but it sure feels like there we see the whole country acting as a one, not a handful of leaders doing that against their will. And others like me not having means or courage to speak up. I've been already disowned by some friendgroups, thankfully without telling on me.

The whole thing about carving out 'the good russians' is done by people who didn't (or couldn't) do anything before it's too late, to feel better and to bear with it. It's its' own subculture. And I really doubt this distinction means much in the big picture. Unvocal minority not even hitting the margin of error, and not deserving support like those who actually fucking die. A community without it's place.

And I'm really surprised I see this group named in english language.

edit: Originally there were three or four paragraphs. I sent it too early.

It's not really surprising. One of the trends consistent for how many centuries is a combination of three things: IDGAF\fatalism attitude or похуй, strong belief in randomness of most things you'd think are pretty clear cause and effect or авось, isolationism\egocentrism\self-distancing from everything not directly concerning their daily life.

Not caring much for it's out of their power + chances are it won't happen so no need to think of it's consequencies + and if it'd happen why would it necessary happen to Them of all people?

It's mentality of people who have never got free from serfdom, but adapted to it's rules. With how corrupted were tsarist regime and then soviet union, that's how laws are usually applied: their harshness is compensated by how rarely they are followed through (waa it coined by Dostoevsky?), and it's not a responsibility but bad luck to be caught. This logic gets so ingrained the life itself is seen through this lense. My fellow russians and ukrainians I know call people with this mindset 'совок', sovokh, a short and humiliating word for soviet sympathisers, also meaning 'shovel' in both languages – that equals 'tаnкiе' but for those living in ex-ussr.

It was documented by many writers and philosophers of the past, and actually became a point of national pride, the unique way things are done there. You are kind of seeing that with everything surrounding current events. The conflict itself couldn't happen like that if government hasn't found the key to support and abuse this line of thought, but it's also why it has these performance and choice of tactics.

I shit on people who talks about a slave gene in ex-soviet people as it sound like some nazi bullshit, but social traditions and material conditions do form this very mentality. Being determines consciousness. And also causes meme absurdities like vacationing three steps from the frontline.

Sorry for being that verbose. All pieces fell into places for me while I was writing this comment. It's rare for a comment to trigger me into reflecting on information and thinking about it for this long, so kudos to you for bringing not only a laughter, but also some food for thoughts.

No, you are golden.

Sunsetting? Winding down? What are they? Dolores Ambridge? It sounds like they are sugarcoating a syrup.

r/AccidentalFuckspezans.

Is it sarcasm?

Nah.

Killing comments and make a subscription-based visibility booster for them and posts seems more like what they want.

Billionaire's yacht? Hardly. But it may be scrapped. Expensive furniture and tech sold, high quality engine and parts repurposed.

Not exactly? I mean you are correct to name these, but I've not seen them wanting it to come faster.

I mean, some of them call out things they don't like as sings of coming end, and they are pretty angry about it. Vaxxing being a mark of the beast is my favorite. If they were accelerating the come of their end from the scripture, they could've behaved like they are on Woodstock, not in American Gothic. Only doomsday sects who isolate themselves and wait for the end are really into that. Others are too occupied with their lives and earthly posessions, but do use the book when it comes handy, especially for explaining what they are up to, or what happened without their control.

Also, seller is likely to be seen responsible if shipping won't go great, like broken, lost, stolen. Some just won't trust international mail before they get big enough they can take a hit, or it's their primary market.

Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.

They'd probably discouraged their workers from new ideas since this one got into news and got copied by other sites. Super good metrics, need to stick with it.

Them posting it now is just fucking a corpse to show user engagement for their IPO or hiding damage they've caused. Overall pathetic.

I'd be more afraid of you prefering to die not alone, but with someone.

Plot-twist: Bionicle girls are likely to be on HRT, but you'd hardly mind it.

Right, Anakin?

That's the future Telvanni want!

Still, being physically there is weird. Aren't there reliable ways to fake it?

It may not be displayed correctly, but it seems you trimmed your own comment on the article but not Gizmodo's promotion.

You mean their meme review episode? I stopped taking him seriously after that. It's so bad it has it's own cringe value.

Not OP but virus is just an algorhytm without decisive power to act either way, it has no ground for intent or decision. Like a gun. It's people who kills. You being alive doesn't matter if you left a shotgun rigged to shoot at the door once someone come in. The problem is the man who wrote the guide to create such traps, those who reprint it, those who take it to their heart and indocrinate others to use it to welcome their neighbors.

There's a bad reading of the Fight Club (and not only it). A piece of fiction is mutated by the previous biases, to support them back in a loop. They see Tyler as an alpha chad, and think the same imaginary guy lives within them, and letting him out is the way to become the fucker of women and the leader of men. It doesn't tik all points of the Religion(tm), but it's not far from individual toxic faith. Was Fight Club a bad book?

Or in case it isn't fair, have you read Mein Kampf? Yeah, the universally Bad Book. I've read it in my late teens for it was so banned in my country (me edgy), I needed to access the second page of Google before downloading it. It felt sooo boring, and preaching, and whiney, and fake. I literally couldn't believe someone really read it on their own. But then again, the society of nazi Germany was supposed to read this toilet paper, to gift it to others, to make something out it. And some, who felt like this miserable painter and vet, took it to their heart. They've seen answers to questions they had before, they've seen their own reflection in it, and they've seen their existing hate doubled down in this piece of crap. And others just played in, having it as an accessory because it is what others do.

Is it familiar?

If there's a group of miserable people, they would make 50 Shades of Grey a bestseller (they did), and they would execute the code lying in it if they are vulnerable.

Educated population with critical perception of media who don't have these fantasies already, would not be infected with a written word. Their insecurities and biases make it happen, their need to be enabled to act on them. As someone wrote, 'To shoot, one should have a bullet in their heart'.

Abuse of religion comes from people who need it to have slaves, beat wives or find why they are so miserable. Others would not turn into it by reading a book. Unless the same people would make it the rules of the game, like it was to have a gift edition of MK as your table book.

To be hurt by a trojan, you need a computer, that would be happy to run it. And growing scepticism against religious radicalism in the west shows we slowly come to immunity against it. But it's still not neutered, still widespread, as there are still people vulnerable enough for it.

A grumpy teacher-person said you can't have fun there.

Muskie-baka can't figire it out. I feel obliged to help him.

It's only a problem when they can't.

I know. It's still not comparable to reddit. For the very least, they allowed other instances to be created with their code. I can dislike the way they go from the common point in socialism to ml, but still prefer them over corpos and place credit where it's due.

I am on board with creating less violence but I weight it with not creating the ground for more violence in the future. Would violence stop after getting ceasefire now? Won't it repeat? When it started in 2014 but then came to a slow burning everyone forgot about, it set a precedent that one may do that with minimum repercussions, and so it restarted anew in 2022. And so it may once again until doing that would be impossible for one reason or another.

Global MIC is evil but that's a different issue. It should, in my mind, being fought against with international treaties for disarmament and creating allianced armies like NATO so no one would have or need it's own military. But it's a long game and we are likely to die from heatwaves before we agree to give up bombs.

Leaving the world blind? By scratching the paint? It doesn't affect driving or put someone in danger, it would just look less pretty and annoy the owner of an expensive car who can't park.

This came to a logical problem of naming a coalition by several group names' initials. And a very loose one at that. I felt the same about the flag updates.

It is a conclusion to what they stand for and why they are created – to get united under one banner to be seen – but at the same time it counters that in how it is disunited in these exact banners, also to be seen and recognized but individually. And a rainbow flag, iirc, wasn't meant to mean something by each colour in it, lol.

I feel like switching to the name and a flag that don't include that self-expansion and would just stay the same would be better – but then I catch myself realizing it is nothing other than creating another acronym\flag and asking to be argued by those who promoted these expansion for I deny their effort to gain visibility.

Shit's a mess.

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

It's also a fun bit that our special services and oligarchs has a lot of handshaking with your politicians and having same talking points. Both have their own goals in that, but they do cooperate to secure their standing and wealth.

It's kinda weak to ask your people to not help my own propaganda, but seeing Rogan and Carlson shortly translated into russian and spreading it as the opinion at the very heart of the US of A, while Biden is joked at every single time he trips over something causes me headaches.

If there weren't these fucks capitalizing on anything, the media hold could've been less strong... But at this point we collectively smell our own farts anyway. So it's more of a wish for you to become better as I lose any hope we'd ever come to what the majority of the world thinks is bad.

And I don't want another country to come onto that level of a shitshow. We have enough of them rn.

Can we say Gabe's practice can translate to movies\shows? His products are at least 10hr worth (thus worth subscribing and enjoying an occasional sale), can be further promoted by having multiplayer, cloud saves, achievements...

It's true this old blood can't understand pirated MKVs are better than streaming-only DRMed shit. But is there anything they can really do to make their services work?

I think that it's not a problem of a service itself if it's not too shitty, but promotional campaign with memes like the one of Squid Games. One can be a Hitler of streaming platforms, but if this show is the new Lost, you'd make a bank anyway.

There are invite-based systems since the dawn of the internet, notably torrent trackers and closed forums, and mods can see who vouched for them. It's not worth it unless the community has something unique to offer (i.e. new blueray rips, non-public deals). Adding crypto to it doesn't add anything of value.
