He didn’t didn’t do nothing, not by a long shot. He was active in it. He carried water for them in the press, the UN and the ICC. He provided parts, equipment and ammunition. He provided intel and support. He is not just complicit, he’s a perpetrator.

Wait until he finds out how much we pay farmers in other countries for their goods

Well he would, wouldn’t he?

Thanks :)

I’ve seen these type images before, what is the source of them?

I can think of precisely zero games I want to smell. Like I’ve been through my whole library and none of them would be made better by smell. With the possible exception of Disco Elysium - I would like to smell the sea air, Kim’s evening cigarette and the alcohol evaporating from ol’ Tequila Sunset’s pores. I think that would add something, but even then I’m not bothered about smelling the hanged man’s intestines.

I’d go for the latter, Trumps more likely to go ahead with the transfer, but transfer to the USA instead of Mauritius.

it boasts hand-crafted structures

Yeah, no kidding!

Oh no, won’t someone please think of the poor western corporations, extracting huge mineral wealth at the cost of the local environment, and their African employees’ health and leaving behind poverty.

Yeah. But it’ll be made entirely in Grok AI so it will be extra chewed through slop.

What the fuck is going on in the last one on that website (figure 62)

Capitalism = efficiency, get with the program, if there was a more efficient use of their labour the market would have found it by now.

It actually is, it’s a no stir no faff way of making oatmeal/porridge. I don’t own a rice cooker any more, but when I did I had my routine timed to perfection to bang them on before I got in the shower and got dressed, then by the time I came downstairs again I had perfect porridge every time. It’s a nice warm way to start the day.

I imagine those folks would rather a CRT tbf

Yup. Every now and again I’m watching a film on my 32” fossil of a tv and I think “wouldn’t it be nice to have a big swanky 4k uhd display”, but then I remember my tv is almost old enough to drive, it owes me nothing (its a fairly cheap Toshiba to begin with), it has zero way of connecting to the internet so it doesn’t spy on me or try sell me shit, the menus are very simple, the remote doesn’t have a Netflix button, but what the tv does have is: that it works, and it works reliably. So many of my friends have had 5 tvs in the space I’ve had this one. Also it still has a decent picture (especially if the room is darker), the audio isn’t the best but I have proper speakers linked to it for the times I care, the hdmi ports all still work great (as do the hilarious old ports on it scart?!)

It’s perfect. And to be honest - I don’t watch much TV and don’t want to watch more so what would I be spending the money on.

I have also heard this line of thinking, it’s very dark and does not paint a hopeful picture for the emancipation of humanity. But I kind of see the logic to it. Europe doesn’t have the martial strength to impose a European empire, especially not in the face of the American war machine. Nor does it have the economy to make one, especially with neoliberalism ripping the copper out the walls of European economies preventing reinvestment and industrialisation (see: the Bank Of England’s policy of quantitative tightening ruining the plans of the uk Labour Party, and all of Europe’s industrial capital looting its own assets).

In this proposed reality Europe must look to the other powers, America being the default choice, but an increasingly unfriendly one, does Europe fancy itself being an extraction zone for an exploitative empire? The boot on the other foot for them. To look the other way, would BRICS even be interested in Europe coming cap in hand? Maybe, but certainly not with terms Europe wouldn’t be too proud to accept. However individual BRICS countries maybe. Russia - a weird one, some countries may be happy to side with them (Germany possibly would consider it in a role as Russias workshop?) but I don’t see other countries like Poland going that way without a fight. China - too remote, too far away and too hated by most of Europe, maybe some nations like Turkey could look to them though. Brazil? Surely too busy with the American empire to its north to have time for Europe. South Africa - who knows? It’s a very different future to the one we grew up in.

Do you know what’s better than interrupting viewing by talking to an ai to raise the volume? Just pressing the “volume +” button.

AI is so fucking dumb. I’m keeping my tv from 2011 until it dies. It’s smart as a brick and that’s just how I like it.

If Trump starts an inter nato war or just dissolves nato due to America invading one of the other founding members, that’s going to be the biggest geopolitical win for America’s enemies who won’t have to lift a finger.

It’s such a shitty system to work in too. The DWP sets strong targets on the number of rejections that staff have to make, heavily incentivising them to reject claimants, they also have huge targets on the number of claims handled in a day. Which means that the assessor hasn’t got enough time to check properly and has to reject a certain amount of claims - so of course they do. Then if anything comes up the assessor gets the blame for not working accurately enough and making errors. It’s a really abusive system that I’m sure is designed to deny claims to as many people as possible and to shift all blame onto the assessors whilst also reducing the assessors ability to empathise.

People say the point of a system is what the system does, so I guess the point of the DWP disability claims system is to cruely terrorise and neglect the most vulnerable people in our society, whilst providing the government that commands it the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability.

As plenty of others have said I doubt it’s too much fibre.

My recommendation would be to buy some oats, they’re really cheap. OP, you can make porridge in a rice cooker with water instead of milk/milk substitute to keep it cheap.

Oats are fantastic for digestion, and have a bit of protein in them too. They’re also great for energy and nutrients. Anyone reading this should eat more oats not just OP, they’re a very good idea.
