They tried warning us about fb over 10 years ago and nothing happened

I like the part where Epstein helped Noam do his taxes and the Chomskys are just like well we are actually victims here

I can go buy myself plenty of happiness and it’s not like being ignorant automatically means you’re gonna be happy

Being ignorant won’t protect you from the world knocking on your door and tossing you in a van for deportation or worse

I’ll take the money every time

Sounds like a consequence free hundred million dollars since you should already be acutely informed as to the horrible happenings of the world

Does France not have a felony murder provision?

Yes, if it’s a necessary condition then at least Americans feel bad and there’s some hope

Still waiting for Russians to feel bad

And just like your defense of Russians, I’m sure if more Americans had better access to better information then even more would feel bad but we are in unprecedented era of propaganda

What emotion is dissolving lung gas

what happens when you don’t read the article

Flash is literally a good sport about his super speed and will not go too fast to make things unfair unless he has to

Almost all the celebrities we have are nepo babies or media lottery winners so I’m actually with him on this one

Well feeling bad about a policy is a prerequisite to stopping it so since they don’t feel bad at all and in fact want to continue hostilities your point seems moot

Americans are subject to incredible disinformation and propaganda as well

The only difference is Americans feel bad about it and Russians overwhelmingly support doing the stuff Americans felt bad about

In 2003 an entire nato coalition thought the Iraq war was justified with only a few holdouts

— 12 years into the Ukraine war Putin continues to enjoy an 80% approval rating

12 years after the Iraq war began, or 4 after it ended, a majority of Americans believe it was a mistake

This sounds like what every almost entirely normal person thinks

I’m not sure propaganda has ever been more intense and widespread than it is now with ubiquitous tech addiction

I can’t imagine many schools will adopt Linux unless they can do enterprise management across the devices

Putin approval rating: 80%

Trump approval rating: 40%

So that would make Russian citizens twice as bad

I’m not sure you’re thinking at all

Even if we removed the health effects…sitting in a wall-e chair chugging Alfredo sauce is being irreparably damaged in body and mind

You can also just do that already by staring at your phone all day and eating processed food

Are you sure you’re not confusing what a want is with something that you don’t want?

For example you actually don’t want a wall-e chair because you would never actually accept one. Similarly, you don’t actually want a 20-liter bucket of fettuccine Alfredo because, again, you would never accept it.

A want is something you’d actually like to have so if you wouldn’t accept it that sounds like something you don’t want to have…
