  • Waiting for the fuck-head right-wing war hawks to claim that it was somehow the "CeeCeePee" that fucked up our soil (unironically). And not the massively profit driven shortsighted corps that push farmers to only grow lots of the same crops without proper rotations. We learned nothing from the Dust Bowl in the US or any number of similar fuck-ups that have happened across the globe over the last hundred years alone.














  • I am curious how many of them had been on the side of "BUt wHY WOUld U EVaR NeEd 30 rnD MAgZ?!??" and had been pushing real hard to make shit hard to get (without having money to pay the poor ppl not allowed tax). And would be right back to pushing said bans/fees on working people if the Dems win. Some of my lib friends get so confused about why I would want to be a communist since I have had guns most of my life.

    Which is at least are good moments to point out that Marx himself said that attempts to disarm the working and poor classes should be met with force. And that all current and former AES nations and revolutionaries know that being armed is important. They just don't have the deeply embedded gun culture that the US has (and of course that most bourgeois nations have heavy control over regular people owning guns).

    I am also kind of more scared of new lib panic buying gun owners. As a lot of them would be less likely to have actual gun safety if allowing their fear take over. Just flag the shit out of people around them and more likely to keep their finger on the trigger instead of outside of the ring.


  • I wonder if the ROK has been getting high off their own (and of course the US) propaganda about how backwards DPRK and its people are. They just believe that folks in DPRK are too stupid to even know how to pull data. Which in a way kind of gives DPRK a small edge in being able to use such stereotyping to catch their enemies slipping. Like the quote about if you are weak appear strong and if you are strong to appear weak. The US showed many times how such a headspace of just assuming that fighters in so many "third-world" nations/areas are dumb and can't possibly be tactical. Shit always backfires.



  • I unironically didn't even realize this was supposed to be a "China bad" piece until the end (I read the post's text and didn't go to the site). lol They might get some passes from the gov if they preemptively were to cut their greed levels of pay and split it into raises to the workers. I love to see people who seem to go out of their way to flaunt how rich they are get yeeted.


  • There are a lot of books that don't have (and likely not going to have) audiobook versions. So there is some use for getting better text to speech with the extra stuff an AI could add. And of course have accessibility options that don't have such robotic sounding with bad pronunciation.

    That being said, shit is about profits first and the other stuff is not the focus. While I would love to listen to some books with the voice of the authors (or even could be neat to hear voices of podcasters I like read them). I would rather hear hear them read by people that either just really like it as a hobby or wanting to practice voice acting if the authors/podcasters aren't in control of their voice an AI is using. Which reminds me that I should check LibriVox for some non-official audiobooks that I want to read but am too busy to do so.


  • It is wild how both wings of the capitalist party keep managing to one-up each other in presenting/supporting folks that are copies of dystopian movie villains. Like just over the top caricatures of of evil mega-corp baddies in Robocop or something. Trump folks back a "big-shot fuck over everyone to get to the top" character that is freaking tropes for days in the context of movies. Yet they believe beyond all belief that he is actually a hero "fighting for the every man" against corruption. The libs blindly believe that their entitled fake "from these streets" VP is actually even concerned about helping real people and not just as much a trope as Trump. Then we have the most needing to have his face mutilated Matthew Miller mouth peace of the empire promoting genocide.

    Movie villains like these fucks are made so over the top to be clear that they are evil. To the point that viewers of said movies laugh at how stupid the populations in them are for supporting them in the first place. Just like how people today can't believe how average Germans or Italians would be so dumb to allow fascists to take over. Even if I weren't a leftist, I would still be weirded out by how fucking sad this shit is (and still think how much I want someone to just fuck up Miller's whole face).
