  Yes, times were so much better when the Ottoman Empire ruled and oppressed the Middle East and beyond. Truly an empire of peace.

  The Mughals were also welcomed in India as friendly visitors, as we all know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British Slander. :)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As we all know wars, conflicts, conquest, exploitation, and oppression were totally unknown to the rest of the world before Europeans exported them worldwide. Coincidentally Europeans also removed all supplies of agency from the rest of humanity and hoarded it in the imperial core.

  Ninth games have actual resale value. First party titles especially.

  You can buy it on a cartridge for Switch and later resell it.

  People will always find a way to kill themselves. Lots of ways to kill yourself with things in your own house.

  Punishing people for attempting or committing suicide is pointless. People shouldn’t be encouraged to commit suicide. For most people the desire to do that will pass and they will find joy again in their lives. Suicide doesn’t only affect the person who dies, the people who knew them are affected mainly. The ones who lose a loved person and of course those who have to clean up the mess left behind.

  Assisted suicide is a bit more complicated. People might be pressured into suicide by their family members or society so they are no longer a burden. The worst version of this is commercially available assisted suicide that makes a profit. Imagine literal „kill yourself“ advertisements offering services where they get rich the more people off themselves. Chatbots messaging depressed folks and nudging them towards suicide. There have been cults that committed ritualistic mass suicides. I don’t think these are good for society. So there needs to be pretty strict regulations around this.

  It’s about providing some safety measures to protect the most vulnerable. They need to be thrown a lifeline and an exit sign on their way down.

  For gun purchases, these can be waiting periods of a few days. So you don’t buy a gun in anger and kill someone, regretting it immediately and ruining many people’s lives.

  Did you have to turn off safe search to find methods for suicide?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨call of the void⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are ignoring that people are already developing personal emotional reaction with chatbots. That’s no the case with search bars.

  The first line above the search results at google for queries like that is a suicide hotline phone number.

  A chatbot should provide at least that as well.

  I’m not saying it shouldn’t provide no information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they want ideological purity to feel good about themselves more than actually be in power and enact change. A pretty typical leftist predicament.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨call of the void⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People in distress will talk to an LLM instead of calling a suicide hotline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨call of the void⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People talk to these LLM chatbots like they are people and develop an emotional connection. They are replacements for human connection and therapy. They share their intimate problems and such all the time. So it’s a little different than a traditional search engine.

  Thank you. I see lots of vandalism, breaking and entering, blocking business entrances, and such. They are well organized and committed. They seem to have some success with that as in companies divesting or stopping to supply. Pretty impressive.

  Going after the RAF for a tenuous connection to Israel was a bit too daring and turned out to be a mistake.

  they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank

  Do you have some reading on this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The movie references the splintering of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).

  • 1967 Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF)
  • 1968 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC)
  • 1969 Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)
  • 1972 Popular Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Palestine
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Those planes deserved to be vandalized. Hell, they deserved to be set on fire. It’s a shame they weren’t destroyed completely. If those planes are being used to carry out a genocide, then they should be destroyed.

  The planes were totally unrelated to what’s going on in Gaza.

  Destroying planes that are bound to assist in bombing in Gaza

  What’s the indication these planes would do that? Israel doesn’t even need British tanker planes to fly the tiny distance to Gaza.

  For harvesting you would need to change the tool or adjust the machine for every row.
