Why then?

I think they like the idea of it right until it hits the reality of it. Try taking a girl on holiday to the Mongolian steppe and watch her disappointment with how bad you smell after a week of no showers and shitting in holes you dug yourself.

Yeah, then he'd faces assault charges for beating a poor poor women. She was just trying to fix his belt buckle!!!

God Adam Schiff has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen. So you oppose taking sexually explicit books out of elementary school libraries, but take issue with adults expressing themselves over world events?

4:30 in. They acknowledge that Rick has taken operation phoenix offline(the first time, but not after the conclusion of the episode?), yet claim he still has infinite resets in other universes, due to operation Phoenix. Are we assuming he didn't revert it back to his own clones after this debacle? Or deactivate it completely removing it's potential from the cannon? Those would both go against Rick's own intentions. Why would he do that? He wouldn't, as it was a bottle episode.

Death Battles has really gone down hill over the years.

seems they just wanted to give rick some extra tools in his arsenal to make the video more interesting. No spoilers.

OPEC has been doing this for years. Honestly, I don't know why we even buy any oil from them anymore. We get so little form them now. Just cut them out and up our demand with other suppliers.

Photos that are provably doctored. Why doctor photos? There are ovens in your city. So, that means a "holocaust" is going on there? Know what was going on at this time? A little thing called a world war AND a typhus epidemic. The records don't support this lucrative conspiracy theory of the "Holocaust."

Thanks for sharing, always appreciate your posts.

Occasionally the Guardian publishes a decent article, despite the constant neocon shilling. This isn't one of their usual writers.

Instead of emulating them, we should first laugh at them, and then dismiss them. They’re like the contestants in an episode of Survivor, trying to be the last one on the island. It’s perversely amusing, and sometimes hard to look away. It’s the same impulse that leads many Americans to vote for Trump – less because they want him for president than because he will make for better television.

We also need to save ourselves from the damage that they are doing.

Sounds like a fake excuse. Their partnering with the evil US Government lapdogs like Microsoft, makes me think the concern was less about technology progression and more about intended unethical application of the technology.

This heavily falls on my preconceived assumptions though:

I suspect machine learning and AI have been used to subvert democracies for more than a decade already and what we are being shown of AI, now, is 15 or 20 year old technology, which has simply been retooled for, less public manipulation/democracy control (foreign and domestic), and skewed more towards public consumption. We'll give you a small bit of our technology, but only after we have used it to oppress you for 20 years or so. This is the general governmental pattern (whom takes control of all new technology with security implications).

I've linked this type of article before, but I think that this is being done on purpose. There haven't been any changes to policy in the past.

Sergey Lavrov: I won’t even try to guess what Europe is going to do. I think she (except for German Chancellor O. Scholz and Vice-Chancellor R. Habeck) understood where she ended up. Read the statistics on how many times the US economic growth is faster than Europe. France, apparently, will be in the “zeros”. The once “locomotives” of the European economy (Germany, Great Britain) will “grow” downwards. After a series of laws adopted by the Americans to combat inflation and other topics, energy prices in the United States are 4-5 times lower than in Europe, where deindustrialization is taking place. Businesses thinking about their future move to the United States. I am convinced that this is not just a coincidence, but a deliberate policy of Washington. Because Europe is also a competitor that the United States does not need. They need a group of “gray” people who do what they order. I don’t want to offend Europeans, but this is exactly how the current political elites act. Let's look at the statistics. It's useful to understand what's going on.

No nation can remain economically viable with 4-5x the energy costs.

The West wants to finish everything “on the sly,” in a cunning way. Freeze, buy time (as was the case with the Minsk agreements), again arm the Nazi regime in Kyiv and continue their hybrid (or non-hybrid) aggression against the Russian Federation. But even when everything is over, most of the sanctions will remain. We need to live by our own mind. When and if they “sober up” and they offer us something, we will think ten times, weigh whether all the proposals meet our interests and how reliable our European colleagues are. They have greatly undermined their ability to negotiate and their reputation. It may not be final yet.

Yep - the Russians aren't going to be as easily fooled again
