Russia plans to limit Instagram and label Meta an extremist group

Jackalope · 2022-03-08T19:42:54+00:00

We could, but then we'd have to ban you

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T08:40:01+00:00

The guy who chose getting his people killed over remaining neutral? You'd have to be fucking retarded to think this guy is some sort of hero.

Jackalope · 2022-03-14T04:01:42+00:00

Somehow they managed to remove all the 'anti-vaxxers' and 'misinformation', but not the pedophiles huh? Sure glad they have their priorities straight

Jackalope · 2022-03-18T22:13:57+00:00

I don't think they ought to be competing as females as at all, penis or no penis. If they really want, they can have their own league of penis ladies just for them

Jackalope · 2022-03-10T21:24:27+00:00

I've used it a bit, can't say I'm impressed. A shame DDG has shown themselves to be one of the enemies.

Jackalope · 2022-03-08T23:08:56+00:00

Have to agree with you there

Jackalope · 2022-03-05T20:37:32+00:00

How do you feel about this kind of economic warfare? It seems to me that it might cause as much suffering and deaths as real war, and mainly among innocent civilians

Jackalope · 2022-03-12T20:15:59+00:00

Yeah, all sorts of deviant ideologies here.

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T18:36:32+00:00

The Ukraine was invaded.

Yes, because Zelensky refused to remain neutral. Not that I agree with Russia's bullying, but if he thought NATO and the US were going to come save him, he was obviously quite mistaken, and his people are now paying the price.

Jackalope · 2022-03-11T19:41:38+00:00

Thats a fantastic idea, we should do that too

Jackalope · 2022-03-08T23:11:19+00:00

Yes, I agree, in the short term, this will hurt the Russian economy, probably badly. In the long term, its hard to think they aren't better off without McDonalds

Jackalope · 2022-03-07T18:10:26+00:00

Says the guy with 56K karma....Is that meant to insult me? lol

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one working from home now who likes to use saidit chat to replace the office chatter.

What are you saying anyway? Let's just settle for highly abusable chat rule systems because the people that use chat a lot are losers? Im just saying it would be pretty easy to improve the dynamics of this, to everyones benefit who uses it.

Jackalope · 2022-03-07T08:04:15+00:00

No it only lasts until server resets, but a crazy guy got hold of it yesterday and banned pretty much all the regular users for 12 hours

Jackalope · 2022-03-07T20:39:55+00:00

Thank you for your profoundly insightful and helpful suggestions.

You sir, are a sage and a scholar, and I don't know what I would do without your great wisdom.

I can only hope to emulate your way of never using saidit excessively, or wasting my time by frivolously trolling in the comments. You are my role model and hero.

Jackalope · 2022-03-05T21:21:55+00:00

I'm not sure this is in America's best interest as it provides a compelling reason to ditch the dollar. What is to stop us from economically blackmailing any country that doesn't do what we want.

Thats an excellent point...we've been doing it to south american countries for decades, and now we see Venezuela moving to Bitcoin

Are you going to acknowledge that he's a straight man, a heterosexual male such as yourself? And that he identifies as a lesbian? Are you going to acknowledge that 90% of these guys are straight guys such as yourself?

I have no idea. I also don't think it matters, they aren't women, so they shouldn't be showering in the women's room.

Jackalope · 2022-03-16T18:52:44+00:00

I know some very high IQ people who buy into the propaganda hook, line and sinker. High IQ people can believe in all manner of very stupid and irrational things. I also know some very stupid people who do not buy into the propaganda, but their reasoning is completely bonkers.

It would seem to me that IQ and the ability to think independently are both aspects of resisting propaganda techniques

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T01:42:54+00:00

Good, teach them a lesson

Jackalope · 2022-03-10T09:22:07+00:00

Highschoolers are protesting that kindergartners aren't being taught about sexual identity....wtf, why would anyone want a kindergarten teacher talking about sexual stuff of any kind. I wouldn't want a kindergarten teacher to teach how to use a condom either, smh

They certainly had trauma, and often difficult lives, but is true that even modern hunter-gatherer societies do not suffer from mental illnesses at anything near the rate of industrialized people. Many anthropologists have repeatedly documented this phenomenon.

That being said, I am not advocating for primitivism, but modern life can be incompatible with many psychological needs we have developed over the hundreds of thousands of years of evolution while living in primitive societies

Jackalope · 2022-03-07T21:45:27+00:00

Understandable. He certainly did terrible things that I do not advocate, I understand why he is stigmatized.

I will say this though, Kaczynski had an IQ of 170 (I know how much you like to talk about IQ), and he was largely right about many things that are wrong with our society.

Jackalope · 2022-03-07T18:17:07+00:00

"The concept of mental health in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress." - Ted Kaczynski

You might enjoy reading some of Uncle Ted's work, his 'Industrial Society And Its Future' sounds right up your alley.

Lol, no not the end of the world by any means, just seems like a suboptimal result

Jackalope · 2022-03-06T03:56:29+00:00

That is pretty funny.

In all seriousness though, Marx's critiques of capitalism are largely on the money, although his solution clearly wasn't the answer. I don't know of any serious economist who hasn't read this or wouldn't acknowledge that it is an extremely important work.

Jackalope · 2022-03-05T03:24:00+00:00

What are you getting your panties in a bunch over? Those are clearly male breasts, they have hair on them ffs. Maybe dont be in a nsfw sub if you have really delicate sensibilities, the post was clearly labeled

Jackalope · 2022-03-19T21:02:50+00:00

I don't understand what it wrong with these people...

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T21:27:21+00:00

Thats exactly how I feel, well put Chris Martenson (not sure who that is!)

Jackalope · 2022-03-09T21:03:26+00:00

Pretty sure it's allowed, I see it used all the time here. But no, American's are not free, they don't understand what freedom is.

Jackalope · 2022-03-09T01:09:10+00:00

These are some very strange measures. Depriving ordinary Russian citizens of Coke and McDonalds, at the expense of American profits

Jackalope · 2022-03-05T23:22:00+00:00

He was good when Bush was doing bad things in office, but when the Dems started to be the ones doing evil deeds, he all of a sudden wasn't so interested in the truth anymore

Jackalope · 2022-03-19T23:18:02+00:00

Bad diet, not leaving the house, porn addiction.

I feel like there must be something more to this psychologically...In all seriousness, I can't claim to be innocent of any of those offenses you listed, and I am completely baffled by the mental state of anyone who identifies as an 'otherkin'.

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T21:05:37+00:00

Idk...I kinda like the idea of her saying 'How dare you!' as I...do my business.

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T19:24:04+00:00

A Texan that says he is coming to take everyones guns away. Good luck with that Beto.

Jackalope · 2022-03-12T21:27:17+00:00

What I have heard is that there is hardly any math taught

Not sure what you are talking about, the math requirements I had to take qualified me for a minor in mathematics

Calculus 1,2,3, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Discrete Math, Statistics - Never seen a program where these were not required

They don't teach that at boot camp

it seems like cs programs are are just coding degrees.

I wish this had been the case, that was all I wanted, but instead half of my courses were bullshit social justice indoctrination and essay writing about how science should contribute to society by embracing woke values.

A degree is bullshit, but it'll get you a far more serious coding job than if you attend a bootcamp. A bootcamp will maybe teach you some front-end web development in one language. It's not a great career choice.

Jackalope · 2022-03-10T08:39:29+00:00

I think jet is saying essay writing in college is an exercise in wokeness and virtue signaling, and getting a good grade depends mainly on your ability to regurgitate the propaganda they indoctrinated you with, rather than thinking critically about the subject. If that's what jet meant, jet would be right.

Jackalope · 2022-03-09T07:40:59+00:00

Lmao, this article is propaganda

"They turned Monsanto into a pantomime villain"

Monsanto is a villain, they've lost multibillion dollar lawsuits over glyphosate and repeatedly lied about its safety

We now know that the opposition to genetically modified crops in Europe has resulted in more pesticide use than would otherwise have been the case

No, one of the ways they modify the crops is to make them more resistant to glyphosate so they can use more of it to kill weeds.

Jackalope · 2022-03-08T19:15:19+00:00

This is a bitch post. But at least it's a start. And at least you offered one poor solution idea, better than none.

There's no need to be rude, I was simply trying to start a conversation, and mentioning one solution that I thought was at least a slight improvement, and soliciting others to give better ideas. On the other hand, this post doesn't offer even a single solution, you just ask more questions.

You mention guidelines. A set of rules would be one way, what do you suggest, and who enforces it?

Authoritarian shill usehername was a cunt. I got no apology. I even unbanned the bitch. I got no thanks. Fuck the bitches too.

Jason I hope you can see how your attitude towards chat is somewhat authoritarian in itself. I often disagree with Socks and Usehername as well, but what these guys are doing does not rise to the level of ban worthy imho, so maybe we do need to talk about guidelines.

Jumba and Ed are the only regular users I have seen in chat lately that have deserved bans at any point in time, and it usually involves very blatant harassment. Or that time Ed pasted like 100 pages of code into the chat and it kept outputting for like a half hour.

Jackalope · 2022-03-08T07:28:59+00:00

Fuck Censorship, fuck the New York Times, and fuck Democracy too, there are far too many brainless zombies who are happy to go along with whatever our overlords tell them to think. 😡

I don't think there's anything wrong with him. If acting like a wolf is what he enjoys and he's not hurting anybody then why shouldn't he enjoy himself?

You are right, that was a poor choice of words, and narrow minded of me in a way that is not consistent with my beliefs. I'll try again.

There is nothing wrong with this at all, I think I just have a hard time understanding this, and it leads me to be less empathetic than I would like to be. I would imagine that these people get ridiculed, and the fact that they are willing to put this out there anyway is actually quite admirable. However, the strength of their convictions about something so peculiar, only makes me more confused in some ways. We have psychological conditions like gender dysphoria, and the sociological nature of gender roles to give me a framework for understanding ideas about gender identity (even if I don't always agree with them), but I don't have a lot of context in which to understand the idea of 'otherkin', so it seems very strange to me.

Jackalope · 2022-03-18T21:26:54+00:00

I don't endorse any racist posts or those calling her ugly, so I get where you are coming from, but I also understand why people get upset and emotional over this. I really wish the left would distance themselves from such divisive identity politics in general.

Jackalope · 2022-03-18T20:37:27+00:00

Well, I am disturbed by the idea that something someone says should be worthy of consideration due solely to the race and gender of the person saying it. The fact that the individual wearing this shirt has a somewhat vacuous look only makes this worse.

This is literally a toxic ideology, and MLK Jr would be rolling over in his grave, as this is literally the opposite of judging people by their character rather than their skin color

Jackalope · 2022-03-14T17:47:12+00:00

What happened with Kathryn last night was pretty fucked up, I don't want to see that happen again. We need to use more discretion than what was exercised last night.

Jackalope · 2022-03-13T21:54:08+00:00

Hmm..yeah I'm a no on fertilizer talk.

I just like the idea of her being shocked and outraged by what I am doing.
