Queer, we’ve met a couple of times on this platform. We both know you would not extend the same benefit of the doubt to, say, the forces perpetrating the 1968 Orangeburg massacre. They too allowed people to be treated by hospitals. They too allowed protesters to be rushed to safety after being shot. Hell, they even took them there themselves.

So why would we do that to the military?

She also has a very funny article about how Stalin is a God of Science

DEI wife.

Annihilating an entire planet is fine as long as there is order?

He got medical attention not from the military, but because other protesters rushed him to a hospital.

No, Not Tank man. But Feng Zhang for example.

One more commonality between China and the US.

Guess Feng Zhang just dropped his legs on the floor because he didn’t want them.

Why even change at all, if you’re all about that shroom growth?

The left one looks like all AI slop does: soulless. The same font every time, the same expression every time, the same pencil strokes every time. It looks shit.

Two tips, worked for me, your mileage may vary: Do it little by little. I joined a “Clean the Goblin Horde challenge” which looked a bit like this: Every day:

• choose a spot, clean it for 10 min. Just take whatever is lying around on the spot, find a new place for it or throw it away. If nothing is lying around on that spot, use a brush to clean up dust, then wipe with something wet, then dry it.

• Clean up the kitchen. Wash your dirty dishes, put away food containers.

• for God’s sake, open your windows. Just create a draft for 5 min, then close them.

• Every 3 days: Wipe down your bathroom sink and your toilet. Takes 5 min and prevents it from getting really nasty.

• Every 6 days: Do a quick round of vacuuming the main living rooms.

• Once a month: Change your bedsheets. Trust me.

2. Do things in between doing something bigger. I don’t know what you do for a living, but when you come home and watch a show or smth, get up between episodes or vids, and pick up clothes for like 5 mins and then get back to your leisure activities.

Bonus: reward yourself. You’ve cleaned something up, good for you, do something you like.

How did Ukraine land on that list?

Well I now gave shining a listen and tbh, while it isn’t my jam, it sounds like music.

Pho Queue did not sound experimental to me, it was dissonant. Not in a good way, in an “I don’t know what the fuck im doing” kind of way. Shining sounds good because they know what they are doing. What kind of principles they violate. An AI has no idea what these principles even are.

In the end, we won’t agree here. I think that AI fundamentally lacks the one thing Music has: A miniscule amount of thought. Even the worst pop slop follows certain principles because they just work in some way.

She will never engage with any other this.

Maybe I joined at a bad time but this shit is probably the worst amalgamation of sounds I heard since middle school.

There is currently no pop song worse than this shit.

Two things can be shit at the same time. Still more human input than suno ai slop

YEAH MARCO, MACH DEN KUCHEN DU GEILA!!! TREFFN WA UNS AM WE BEIM EBERSCHRAUBEN???

A trade deficit is never exploitation. Lets pretend it is!

All of the stats Trump put up weren’t tariffs, they were a percentage of much less they would have to import in Goods from a certain country to make for the trade deficit with said country in Goods.

Not a single stat on that sheet looked at the trade in services. America always had a service trade surplus.

If we combine the two, a lot of countries that seem to “”““exploit””" the US are suddenly exploited by the US.

But lets go even further: The countries receiving the highest tariffs are Vietnam and Lesotho, becuase the US has the highest deficit in Goods with these countries. Because both countries are too fucking poor to buy american products. A worker in Lesotho, providing diamonds for the US market, would have to invest about 20 years of wagest to buy the cheapest american import car. How the fuck should these countries reduce their deficit?

Okay, but still, we assume that a deficit is somehow exploitation. Trump has said that the tariffs are going to do two things, namely bringing back American Industry and forcing trade partner to drop “barriers and tariffs” (i.e. safety regulations).

For a tariff to do the former, it has to stay until the relevant factories have been built in America and have also paid themselves off. For a tariff to the latter, the possibility of it being removed once the partner comploes has to be on the table. A tariff can’t do both.

But hey, don’t believe me. Read the paper the White House cited in their Announcement of the Tariffs.
