Couple high points from my small town cops:
The time the cop accidentally locked himself in the back of his cruiser with an underage girl. Their clothes were NOT in the back with them.
The time the cop accidentally filmed himself having sex with the underage girl at the local drive-in burger joint. I don't know if he thought the security camera was off, or what.

Here we have signs of a cult.
In doing so, Pashinyan systematically neutralized all domestic opposition. Most recently, he turned his sights on the Armenian Apostolic Church. Declaring himself the leader of a divine national mission, he accused the clergy of being heretical, anti-national, and enemies of the state. Pashinyan now pledges to personally “cleanse” the institution, accusing Armenia's Archbishop Acapahyan of displaying a “complete lack of connection and relationship … with Jesus Christ and His teachings.”
Azerbaijan and Armenia’s growing alignment disguises a deeper agenda: expel Russia from the Caucasus and reorient the region to support western interests. Iran, meanwhile, draws its territorial red lines.thecradle.co

action games that involve a man beating on others with a licensed music budget for songs from the 2000s that exceeds development cost are in fact "hard as fuck". being denied my linkin park soundalike songs (or on some cases, the actual songs) in these games should be considered a high crime and lead to the immediate termination of the company that would think to create something like that.

I am not against AI as a concept as I think machine learning programs can be useful for many tasks. I don't want to completely discredit an entire section of computer science research. I have even written some of my own machine learning programs.
But it is true that many companies at the moment are not behaving ethically in many aspects, like making their machine learning models proprietary and only usable behind a proprietary SaaSS API and lying to public about what their programs are capable of. I obviously do not support companies such as OpenAI, Twitter, Google or Facebook.
Of course the scraping they do is terrible too. It is essentially a DDOS attack and the companies doing this should be taking to court as conducting DDOS attacks is literally illegal in most parts of the world.
However I also think Anubis as a countermeasure is quite unacceptable for regular users just trying to read a website. It requires me to enable javascript and it also requires me to disable the JShelter browser addon (which is supposed to prevent malware from running on your machine). So what Anubis is doing is equivalent to malware, even though that is not the intend.

I do not want my computer to process a useless hash algorithm (which sometimes up to 2 minutes on my slower machines).
If you install Anubis, you're forcing me to run software on my computer that I don't want to run.
So even though there is no malicious intend, you're making me do things I don't want to do. I consider that malware.
If a website would require you to mine bitcoin for 2 minutes in order to access it that would be considered unacceptable.
So why is it suddenly considered acceptable in this case?
It is essentially the same result for the end user, their computing is doing things the user doesn't want it to do.
indeed, it isn't requiring you to mine bitcoin. it's worse: it's requiring you to waste your computing resources, so that the site doesn't have to waste fewer resources of its own. proof of waste is an overall environmental, security and freedom loss. blog.lx.oliva.nom.br/2025-03-2…

National Socialism.
Nationalism without capitalism.
Socialism without internationalism.
The greatest and strongest union of the people that ever existed in history of man
No other ideology could unite the nation and rally the people more
No other leader had stronger support
If I dare say it. Adolf Hitler did more for humanity than Jesus Christ himself
And he too was in the end sacrificed by the Jews
A people who exploit ever war and tragedy to their advantage and thus they crave more blood
Please do not compare National Socialism with the Jewish Socialism as described by the Jew Ludwig Von Mises
I didn't see the link when I first answered, I could only see Ur comment. But "Socialism" and Socialist economy as described by Mises had nothing to do with National Socialism.
If U claim that Adolf Hitler faked economic development then U are miss informed.
What National Socialists did under Adolf Hitler was not some political trick. They transformed the nation in a way that no other nation have done. Their progress have not seen the likes after or before.
Germany under that time was not a planed economy. Like I already said, it was nothing like communism.
U do well to actually read something.
Preferably not Jewish propaganda.
I have noticed a disturbing trend in #donation pages of respectable #charities.
In the course of the last few months, it seems that the options to designate a donation to a specific world region or conflict zone have been silently dropped, and replaced by generic "designate globally" donation forms.
Charities may always take the stand that they know best where donations should flow, of course.
I find it slightly unethical though to use photographs of the #Gaza genocide for fundraising, when donors are only informed in the small print that their donations are distributed world-wide.
If you know of trustworthy charities that don't follow this trend, please suggest the respective URLs in a reply. If you're a VPN user, by all means pick a US-based server for testing, and check where the respective donation link leads you to, before recommending it.
Boosts appreciated.

so much more... one could critique for an hour, every utterance, uttered without any witting irony...
astonishing.
good to be aware.
hopefully more people see such for what it is,
not for what it strives to preen as,
and more so,
people see past their "othering" hateful distraction ploy,
and even more so yet,
look to somewhere that's actually going to do something good.
gotta wonder too... is it psyop at the level of making us hate the idea of being independent, if that's what those most vocal for independence are like? ew. wouldnt wanna be like that. better join the other groupthink instead, huh?

seems easier, if you're "really" christian, you'd be better considering:
... doesnt seem likely that this paragon of virtue we all hold up in such high regard, would be encouraging the kinds of things that monster was ranting hatefully about. ... i must have missed that version of the bible where jesus avoids mentioning helping the sick and poor etc, and instead rants on about the other being the problem, and that if we could just get them, everything would be fine. ... could swore the genius of it, almost like the defining grand spiritual emphasis clarification evolution that is christianity, is the forgiveness... to no longer be making the whole world blind with an eye for an eye, instead turning the other cheek, expediting peace and introspection in the cestation of the generation of fear, hate, and anger... no? ... maybe i need go see what sacrement this guy's using. maybe i have the wrong end of the stick, and jesus really wants us to arm up with uzis and go kill people who are not the right colour or accent or whatever next criteria in this tightening exploit of a true scotsman fallacy. what an obnoxious set of ideas espoused by that fella... but hey, maybe he has some insight... we should approach him with our socratic questions...
