Just owning up to being a piece of shit lmao

You can be against Russia and the war on Ukraine and still realize that the majority of Russian citizens didn’t ask for this and don’t want it.

It’s the same thing as hating all Americans when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan (and then overstayed by a decade and a half).

But nuance is a little too much to ask for right? Just need to be on the hate train 24/7.

Lol, let the xenophobia flow through your down votes. This is what you get for having a normal take. Americans love to hate other populations based on what their corrupt governments do. Ignorance is life here.

Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.

Sounds like you’ve just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don’t care?

and does not exist to create profits unless interfered by with politicians.

Yeah, because there is definitely no group of people becoming absurdly wealthy off of the military industrial complex and invasions of foreign countries with valuable resources /s

It also exists “to be interefed with by politicians” by its nature.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Thanks.

Interesting to see all the offensive campaigns going on from Ukraine.

English reading, among others.

Attrition is a powerful factor often forgotten in war.

Lemmy armchair 5 star general recently completes Sun Tzu’s Art of War and thinks things are being forgotten about military tactics.

Great backup strategy lmao “put them all in one place what could go wrong”

Good example of cyber crime causing bankruptcy.

So brave of you to take such a moral high-ground. Convince me I’m wrong that we would all be better off as a country if the slaves who built the south owned the south after they were freed (obviously their previous masters would not just stand by and watch this happen).

Instead we limp along fighting a constant culture war of racism with literal white supremacists having invaded all forms of government and law enforcement, because we didn’t end them once and for all when we had the chance.

Unfortunately, your point of view won out back then and brought us this shit hole of a political stage in which we now live. So you can at least feel proud of that. It’s not like the country wasn’t already founded on literal fucking genocide. You’re fine to prosper off of those mass killings. Hypocrite.

Edit: don’t you think it’s sad the chattel slavery racists got the pass and the literally innocent native population got the barbarity? Fuck your perspective.

Honestly, the only right thing to do after the civil war was to murder all the southern secessionists and give all of their wealth and land to the slaves.

The only reason we have this special brand of conservatism in the United States is because we agreed to be buddy-buddy with extreme racists over repairing our relationship with the slaves.

The south, and by extension the Republicans who give it power, is a cultural cancer on the world that needs to be stomped out forever.

Seems to me like it would be more sustainable if it was super cheap for a large common library so a large userbase would maintain a continuous subscription, supporting a large continuous revenue, rather than signing-up and quitting intermittently.

Excuse me, but how would a tiny percentage of people profit off of this?! What is even the point if there are no shareholders to demand record profits year after year? /s

“Needs” lol

smug tech superiority

I can’t tell if this is satire or not… Are you seriously implying that going to any search engine (aka the url bar to most folks) and typing in 2-3 key words regarding what you want to know about is for “tech-inclined” folks? Please tell me you forgot the /s

And yet here you are spending precious battery life not only reading them but responding! Enjoy being a clown your whole life.

If calling out dumb cunts who think that there is a physiological aspect to chess in which sex is the deciding factor in success is virtue signaling then yep, that’s me. I don’t have any suggestions for dismantling the entire patriarchy at the moment, you’ll have to forgive me.

I don’t give a fuck about your curious attitude, clearly.

Why would that be my suggestion. My suggestion is you lot need to learn how to fucking read statistics lol. I don’t give a fuck about chess, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that women are not worse at chess because they are women. The only thing the chess numbers prove is that men play chess at a professional/competitive level at much higher rates than women.

Whoa, watch out with that logical thinking around here. As has been demonstrated by votes in a comment chain of mine further up the thread, the number of women at the top of the chess scene is totally indicative of womens’ intrinsic ability to play chess. It has nothing to do with the amount of women who play chess vs the amount of men who play chess! /s

But yeah, it’s simple shit. If men outnumber women 100:1 in the competitive chess scene then obviously we expect women to be extremely under represented at the top. But misogynists gonna misogyny.

I weep for your (in)ability to interpret statistics.

I can’t help you to understand the difference between cultural statistics and physiological potential I guess lol

What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.

Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?
