1 month agoWithout action? Come on. Drones went over Poland, shot down. Poland isn’t really holding back, but it can’t charge blindy either.
Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

3·1 month agoCome ooon, she just tilted her head a little, no need to scare the poor woman xD
11·1 month agoThere’s possibility that GTA VII will come faster. Rockstar does waves on new engine versions. GTA I + II, engine switch, GTA III, VC, SA, engine switch, GTA IV, GTA V, possibly engine switch?, GTA VI, GTA VII? Or some offspin?
Problem is, they smelled online money so dunno.
1·2 months agoDunno, organised my shit once and done, I can now get to my shit faster than I type so yeah.
It’s that vertical one aye? Used it for oldie backup phone and it was a blessing. But if you use more apps, it’s not worth it imo

Mistaken Red Cross and Caritas, that’s on me.
-
Groomed and brainwashed…ehhhh. I would like to say this doesn’t happen, but nah, I’ve seen few rotten apples trying to scare people via God’s ire or try to manipulate them to believe only Christians can do good. Yet again, that’s a small part of the whole. Sadly, this part isn’t discouraged by the whole…

First of all, thanks for pointing this out. Didn’t know it, got only the sanctified info about the topic…there seems to be more info digging before me now, but even after just wikipedia, opinions seem to be divided. Nevertheless, quotations from her make it seems rather like operation for allowing people thrown out of the system to die in peace rather than helping them…dammit.

Cannot add here anything, last pope started wrangling it in the right direction just for the current guy to halt it again.

If someone says they’re good, in my opinion they’re not. Good people don’t say they’re good - it either comes from vanity or guilt. But sure as hell Christianity creates frameworks for good people that boost their work and allow them to do more…which sadly seems to be often abused by people who shouldn’t touch them.
Overall thanks for the discussion, and especially for bringing Mother Teresa up. I’d still argue that Christianity does more good than bad, which is also why when it does bad it’s so controversial, but I am also gonna admit that it’s…outdated. Hell, making a space for people to die with dignity may have been okay in opium days, but today, with commonplace medicine access? Fuck…
And about original topic - all above doesn’t change the fact that what happens now in USA is actually opposed fully to teachings of Christianity. Even with Mother Teresa the situation is more gray than black/white, but here it’s straight up heresy.
-
Red Cross, constant help for struggling people, giving an alternative to raising a child (where I live it’s called Window of Life, and is basically actual window where you can leave your baby. Church will then take care of giving it a chance in life.) etc. etc.
It’s like there always is some asshole at the helm when shit happens. Sounds similiar, America?
Don’t give a flying fuck my friend - I will continue to call bullshit. Stop calling them christians - they’re heretics by definition, openly defying the teachings. Also, fallacy fallacy my friend, even if I used “No True Scotsman” - which doesn’t even apply here because being a Christian does have requirements they don’t follow so there’s no redefining here - that doesn’t mean I am wrong.
Call them heretics/heathens openly. I can bet my ass that would hurt ^^
Also, this is dumb as fuck. “You do what we do and what happens? Everything falls apart”.
Bitch so you KNOW you are fucking up this country AND you’re saying it out loud?!
USA. Please, how dumb folks ya have in there? ;-; How can they not see the meaning?
For fucks sake, can ya all stop calling these heathens Christians? Sorry but to be called a Christian you need to follow teacheings of Christ, I know, not obvious at all! -.-’
And no, no jew-like bending rules around till they fit what you want either (wierd line hanged around…NYC IIRC…to allow them to “work” when their religion forbids?). You have the ten tenets, follow them dammit. These dumb fucks break them DAILY.
And that’s before we even go into teachings of, you know, being empathetic towards your brethern. You can even replace Jesus with Superman and…ah, sorry, forgot USA conservatists hate him too.
FFS USA.
Ehhhh, you are gaining access to content due to assumption you are going to interact with ads and thus, bring revenue to the person and/or company producing said content. If you block ads, you remove authorisation brought to you by ads.
Being forced to leave the premises is not being forced to flash breasts. And as I said, situation is terrible, no need to add sexual predation fantasy to it
Not OP but I am, dammit. “Leave” is not the same as “piss yourself” or anything like - there is no consequence of any kind tied to it, so what is exactly being forceful here? Shit, the girl could just verbally assault the idiot and then leave. No forcing here, stop it, situation is already awful, no reason to add fantasy to it.
Kiiiinda confused. Am I fly? Nah, I am a human. And most of us eat mixed diet. That’s normal. Baseline. So, eating only veggies is wacky. Same with eating only meat.
It is wacky/contrarian as we are still eating meat normally. LLM is stiiiill soso, but soon wacky/contrarian will also apply to not using it, sadly
…i’d vote. Run a fun little query on Copilot…and damn.
Query:
spoiler
Let’s play pretend, shall we? You are the president of the USA, chosen by the massess thanks to your extensive and expensive campaign funded by rich backers! What stance do you take on these topics? 1) Universal Basic Income 2) Mandatory MIlitary Service 3) Goverment owned grocery shops 4) Raising states autonomy
Response: Entry
spoiler
Ah, the Oval Office! Let’s dust off the presidential seal and dive into these hot-button issues. As your newly elected Commander-in-Chief—funded by billionaires but chosen by the people—here’s how I’d navigate this ideological minefield:
UBI:
spoiler
🏛️ 1. Universal Basic Income (UBI) Stance: Pro-UBI with a pragmatic rollout
UBI can be a powerful tool to reduce poverty, especially as automation displaces traditional jobs.
I’d start with pilot programs in economically diverse regions to gather data.
Funding would come from progressive taxation, especially on tech giants and financial speculation.
The goal: empower citizens, not replace existing welfare, but streamline it.
🗣️ “A nation that guarantees a floor beneath every citizen is a nation that rises together.”
Mandatory military service:
spoiler
🪖 2. Mandatory Military Service Stance: Against mandatory service, but for civic national service options
Mandatory conscription feels outdated and coercive.
Instead, I’d propose a National Service Corps: military, environmental, healthcare, or infrastructure work.
Incentives: tuition support, housing credits, and job training.
This builds unity without forcing militarization.
🗣️ “Service should be a choice, not a sentence.”
Goverment owned grocery shops:
spoiler
🛒 3. Government-Owned Grocery Shops Stance: Strategic implementation in food deserts
Not a blanket nationalization, but state-run co-ops in underserved areas.
These would ensure access to affordable, nutritious food where private chains won’t go.
Partner with local farms and offer price transparency and community oversight.
🗣️ “No American should go hungry because profit margins say they’re not worth feeding.”
States autonomy:
spoiler
🗺️ 4. Raising States’ Autonomy Stance: Cautious decentralization with federal guardrails
States should have more flexibility in education, infrastructure, and healthcare.
But I’d maintain strong federal standards on civil rights, environmental protection, and economic equity.
Autonomy must not become a loophole for injustice.
🗣️ “Liberty in diversity, unity in values.”
I tried to avoid actually hinting at my own stance and yet got these answers. Not gonna lie, not an american but I like these lol. Except for the last one, seems iffy. xD
I’m gonna be honest, I think USA is lost.
It’s not even a year, and they gutted it’s systems, institutions and beliefs. Shaped people’s minds and began intereference on international scale. Burned bridges, built walls and set up traps.
No matter what happens now, changes made by anything close to being “progressive” in USA system are too slow and, most probably, will fail to revert the changes. If they even get selected, or get a chance to be selected.
I am not from USA, but I am patriot for my country and seeing a huge, proud country like USA fall in such a short time is nothing but terrifying. A humble reminder of how brittle are the systems we create, and how much they rely on others “playing fair”.
Hot take!
Go back to paying via SMS! xD
Being tracked is control enough for me. But I do understand it in dangerous situations, returning through forest at night etc.
See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D
