He legit probably doesn’t give a single iota of a fuck about anything outside of basketball and making money. Not that this excuses his behavior of course. It’s not a whole lot different from some engineer who tunnelvisions over solving whatever engineering problem is on their mind but the company they’re working for builds drones that blow up Palestinian children.

The CIA basically overthrew him because writing Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism was the last straw for the CIA.

Just lie and say you live in California where the Democratic candidate would win anyways. They really don’t have an answer for that.

the Zionist entity is a military, economic, intelligence, and somewhat political extension of the US anyways.

There’s no such thing as an independent boycott of the Zionist entity especially since the Zionist entity is completely reliant on the US anyways. If anything, the real cynical kabuki theatre pro-wrestling move would be to partially boycott the Zionist entity while simultaneously increase trade with the US with the understanding that the US would use the increase in traded commodities to further subsidize the Zionist entity and fill in the holes left by the “boycott.”

The only real way to economically hurt the Zionist entity is to hurt the Zionist entity’s master. Notice how a lot of countries that have no economic ties to the Zionist entity like the DPRK also don’t have economic ties with the US either. Because the US is very willing to subsidize the Zionist entity and because the US has a much bigger economy than the Zionist entity’s, a complete boycott the Zionist entity is essentially just a partial boycott of the US and the Zionist entity. For various reasons, China is not ready to wage economic warfare in so open a fashion against the US.

A boycott could work if the US vassal is unimportant enough that the US would rather leave them to their fate than save them. If China boycotts an expendable US vassal and the US refuses to save them, it could open up opportunities for the US compradors in charge to be overthrown, ideally by anti-imperialist forces. However, this is 100% untrue for the Zionist entity, which is probably the US’s most valuable vassal to the point where it’s not even a vassal anymore since the Israeli political class is completely self-aware of the settler-colony’s value in destroying WANA unity among many other things.

The only good w*rlder:

The last time this was posted, it was PugJesus, and he barely agreed to my live example of Imran Khan.

And as a Pakistani, go fuck yourself. My democratically elected leader is in a jail going blind because American imperialism is universal amongst both parties, and Biden signed off on his removal without a second thought.

Even more insult to injury, Imran Khan won his election against a corrupt, voter fraud heavy, and FPTP system as a 3rd party that upset the duopoly after 70+ years.

Twice. Second time while he was in jail.

So now all that manure you people scream about RCV for 3rd parties in the US is laid barren as propaganda from the DNC & RNC to convince you never to vote independent or 3rd party.

Despite the fact the DNC was caught rigging their own primaries to ensure Bernie, a populist independent, would never win.

Twice.

Edit: Remove that Pakistani flag out of this shit excuse for a shill meme

Like some of the other lemmy instances that make being “against tankies” their entire identity I would have thought would love to spam that symbol.

They don’t use it because it’s a lib talking point that the SPD were willing to form a united front but the dogmatic Stalinist authoritarian KPD refused to play along which cause the Nazis to consolidate power. They then segue this to how you should not repeat history by voting for some neoliberal ghoul.

Every princess has a queen as a mother, so why don’t they just skip the bullshit and say they’re descended from Choctaw royalty and have claims to Choctaw royal line of succession?

My dude, CIA assets embedded in China are going to start blowing up Chinese bridges and power plants from within if China actually boycotts the Zionist entity because the boycott would be an act of war that would demand a response from the enemy. Since China is already an economic superpower, they would wage war through noneconomic means, first with sabotage and cyberwarfare before escalating to proxy wars and eventually direct kinetic warfare. Iran has launched cruise missiles at the Zionist entity, and for that, they have to go through two attempts at regime change, one while the war officially commenced and one that just recently passed with the failed color revolution attempt, both of which were incredibly violent, as in “protestors” with full auto rifles firing at crowds along with sabotage like burning down mosques and attempts at storming military bases.

Can China be condemned for not being willing to pay the human cost for the sake of liberating Palestine? For someone living in Yemen or Iran or Lebanon, who live in a society that have already offered martyrs for the sake of Palestine, yes they’re justified in condemning China for not willing to offer martyrs of their own although I doubt they would agree to shipping Yemeni/Iranian/Lebanese troops to China for the sake of fighting Chinese border disputes. But for Westerners, including an Aussie sexpat holed up in Argentina, who have not only not offered martyrs but have collectively sustains the Zionist entity in the first place, not so much.

Imagine if we held all parties to the same standard we hold China wrt this genocide

But we do. Nobody criticizes any country for trading with the US despite the US being more heinous than the Zionist entity. It’s not comparable if you consider its entire history or the fact that the Zionist entity is a military, economic, intelligence, and somewhat political extension of the US anyways.

Nobody who hasn’t fallen for NATO talking points criticizes the Soviet Union trading with fascist Germany while the non-aggression pact was in effect and nobody criticizes the Soviet Union for trading with fascist Japan while the other non-aggression pact was in effect.

Preface everything with “well my AI told me that blah blah blah.” If they push back, mock them for choosing a shittier AI than your “AI.” If they push back more and insist on seeing the prompt, mock them further for intruding on the confidentiality between you and your “AI.” (People who have been suckered by AI treat it as some companion or therapist and ask it personal questions.)

Not because it’s bad, but because it’s very, very good.

A human definitely wrote this sentence and definitely reread this sentence after definitely writing this sentence and definitely thought it was okay to post after definitely rereading this sentence that they definitely wrote.

I basically have to “preprompt” any prompt with “answer all following questions with the following format” and it’s a massive list of what I specify AI can and cannot do. I have an entire section to get rid of its obnoxious attempts at passing for a human with personhood (do not use emojis, do not directly address me, do not be cordial, do not be polite, do not be friendly, do not answer in complete sentences). There’s also a section on getting rid of obnoxious AI-isms (do not use em-dashes, do not use the following words which is a long list of words overly used by AI, do not use the words no, not, but which is there so the prompt doesn’t use it’s not x it’s y).

The preprompt got too long for AI, so I had to dump it into a txt file and make AI read it before I would even want to use AI. And even then, I still have little use for AI lmao. But I guess “making AI not suck so hard” was a fun creative exercise.

I had to spend time taking in this delicious slop. After some reflection:

1. The drab grey interior isn’t a killer by any means if he open the window blinds to show the greenery outside. I knew someone who had a room that was completely white. The white room was also right next to the backyard and the white room had massive windows that they constantly keep the blinds open. Having plants in the background takes away a lot of the sterile feeling that having a drab grey interior would produce.

2. The combination of everything being clean and brand new gives a completely sterile “this looks like a museum exhibit” vibe. There’s absolutely no evidence that the dude or any human actually lives here. You could get away with this if you have worn furniture. For example, if the table and chair in the action figure room were worn out, then it wouldn’t have that sterile feeling anymore because the table and chair would’ve been worn out from use. I think people like OP conflate something being clean and something being new. You could absolutely have a clean worn out table (that’s how most people’s tables look like).

3. No tools just gives me the impression that he’s a talentless consoomer who literally buys everything, including the labor to assemble his treats. This particular aesthetic just speaks to a deep-rooted contempt of labor. Where’s the screwdriver for his assembled gaming PC? Where’s the paint for his assembled action figures? He like the vast majority of homeowners obviously has tools, but it’s a clear aesthetic choice to hide those tools as if they’re something to be ashamed of. This also fits neatly into your critique about him not showing his kitchen. He probably has perfectly functional knives and other cooking utensils, but because they aren’t brand new (see point 2) and shows that he has to occasionally gets his hands dirty like a filthy prole, they must be squirreled away.

4. The four (4) PCs just takes the cake. First of all, he splurged money on four (4) complete gaming PCs instead of reusing parts like a normal person. Second of all, he lacks the technical skills to repurpose those PCs into something cool like some home server(s). Third of all, those PCs don’t even look different from one another to show off. At least throw in a beige box (which would go well with the rest of the house lol) or something. And not that fake beige box which is obviously a PC case made in ~2020 but a real beige box where you need to unscrew 10 screws before taking the case out. It’s funny that I could actually pull this off a lot better than him because I have a PC from circa 1995, a PC from circa 2005, and a PC from 2013. The only main obstacle is the 2005 PC is in an anachronistic beige box even though PCs from that era have moved past the beige box aesthetic. It also would work a lot better than four (4) gaming PCs because my memories associated with those PCs are very different from one another because they are spaced ten years apart from each other. Meanwhile, he’s just using those PCs to consoom AAA slop.

I’m also scrolling through other posts on that subreddit and check this one out: https://old.reddit.com/r/malelivingspace/comments/1r5y07e/inspired_by_recent_star_wars_post/ This is literally just a cooler version of OP. Unlike OP’s soulless consumerism, you could also see this person’s personality come out of the aesthetic. The helmet collection is kinda creepy, but he’s 100% aware of and leans hard to it right down to putting the lifesize figure of frozen Han Solo in the same room as the helmets. He needs a predator mask helmet or better yet a predator statue to really sell home the point. It’s still consumerism, but it at least has some soul to it.

Pay the naysayers no mind. This delicious slop 100% belongs in /c/slop.

There’s no excuse to not reuse the case especially since the cases aren’t even that different.

Nah, this is a lot worse than that. It’s just three contemporary gaming PCs with an older model PC. There’s no reason why he can’t reuse parts or reuse those PCs as home servers. At least the 95 era PC has obsolete parts (pre PS/2 ports, pre-DDR RAM) and looks different (beige box).

Organized mess beats whatever the fuck these pictures are trying to convey.

At a certain point, your sound quality is going to more affected by the placement of your furniture over any real and perceived improvement in audio equipment. It’s like g*mers who splurge on some graphics card and gaming monitor but completely cheap out on the cable.

It’s a good chance the fash loser actually posted the pepe before lol

This is what makes me sad about youth slang. The words are different, but the meaning behind them are the same. They are not experiencing anything new that millennials haven’t experienced before outside of streaming and school shooter drills I guess. And at the same time, there are plenty of things that zoomers no longer experience due to societal decline wrought by neoliberalism. Streaming didn’t exist when I was a kid while zoomers were born after the heyday of arcades as third spaces. I don’t think I exactly missed out.
