I appreciate the vibe, but this thing would be hilariously incompetent. It’d be like if all the sperm in a cum sock each individually gained sentience and tried to control the sock like a mech. That is to say - it would not be very effective.

I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.

Having also been born and raised in the United States and having met a variety of people from various walks of life, I am of the opinion that he hit the nail square on the head. I’ve met kind selfless people, sure, but that is the exception to the rule most often.

He wasn’t, Charles was born and raised in Britain, but later in his career he visited the US for his journalist work.

Uhh, nah that’s not new. Charles Dickens explicitly talked mad smack about how greedy and self-enamoured Americans were, and their general worship of the wealthy. It was a severe kick in the head to his previous conceptions of America being a place of prosperity and opportunity.

Do you work more than 12 hours to make a basic income? I think that’d be a large difference between wherever you are and the US.

“jup” can either be “yup” or “hup” depending on which language you’re coming from. It’s definitely a fun spelling of the work though

So you know when people mimick a butterfly with their hands? Yeah, just that one-handed.

Call a tailor probably

Oh woops, flipped em. Good call. Editing

The virile black man stereotype? Not in the US. it’s apart of the myth that black men are naturally very strong and thuggish. It’s also usually paired with the concept of them being extremely sexual (think of the giant black penis stereotype and the constant fear mongering surrounding black men ‘stealing’ all the white women). These are extremely old stereotypes that harken back to when black slaves were viewed in a fashion closer to beasts of burden than to human beings.

EDIT: woops, saw my typo, should be fixed now.

It’s because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It’s no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It’s purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.

It’s also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.

EDIT: typos

EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn’t notice. Fixed.

I know a certain firearms guy who’s pointed out gun culture’s hypocrisy for quite a while (most recent video regarding it).

Leather daddies (Tom of Finland style) are cool. So there’s some things about man-on-man sex that can be cool.

• Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
• The US has its navy on every major trade route
• Europe’s biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

He’s currently trying to get a 51st state (Canada would need to be at least 6 or more, in all honesty), but it looks like he’s at risk of losing some states from where I’m sitting.

This whole thing reads not like a codebase versus, but a traditional engineering approach (don’t act like you can patch this once you release it - get it done so it’s stable the first time) versus the more modern “move fast and break things” approach.

This is just the start, and will likely involve the West bank next. After that, it’s likely that Israel will attempt expanding into its neighbors.

And it’s not just to get some old dudes even richer - it’s also to further crush the ability of the middle east to rebel or obtain meaningful autonomy.
