But it is also 2500 years before the crazy mid 19th century claim.

I am interested in your theories about how Trump could ever be saved.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 3 days ago:
I remember there being some twitter trend around it, kind of like the “me too” movement too
No you fucking don’t, that is exactly what I am talking about. You are remembering the right wing press explaining this term to you and accepting their explaination.
Also, why would they invent such a word and not some more derogatory one?
You are talking about fascists who spun “social justice warrior” as a negative term. Who the fuck is against social justice? Social justice is a good thing. Fascists, that’s who.
saying they invented it is more akin to propaganda and revisionist history to me because it takes something away from the word
Who the fuck cares if somebody takes something from the word. Stop using it. It is not important. It means nothing, it is a Grundbegriff to use the language of Koselleck. It means everything and nothing, it is a term which has been used for so many things that anybody can claim anything about its meaning. It is literally meaningless.. Use your own language, stand up to the fascists and find your own words for things, instead of mindlessly accepting their nonsense.

It is a term as old as language with all sorts of different meanings, but the specific modern meaning used in modern media was definitely invented by them.
- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 4 days ago:
It is a derogatory term invented by fascists, and is used by them for anything they disapprove of.

Neither are most roads, sewers or hospitals, we are talking basic infrastructure here, whether it is profitable seems to me to be completely irrelevant.
And again, not a huge fan of nuclear power plants, but this argument is not one I hold against them.

Useless x 1000 is still = useless.
It doesn’t matter how many people it services when its service is something we can easily live without, and only exists to add more billions to the wealth of billionaires. Not so much for EVs.

No thanks. Multiplayer is stressful and full of toxicity. Singleplayer is actual relaxation and entertainment for me.

The adherence to one type of cup is the weird thing. Most other places it seems there are many different types of cups, so there wouldn’t really be any trope about a particular cup.
- Comment on French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999 3 weeks ago:
The tear-down GamersNexus did of the Steam cube showed that a lot of very good engineering has gone into designing it so that not only does it run smoothly and without overheating despite its compact shape, it is also relatively easy to access all components and repairability is high.
Just a shame they had to settle for subpar components on account of the AI cartel.

No it doesn’t. The r in croissant is a very pronounced r sound. It is just English speakers pronouncing it wrong who thinks it resembles a w more.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Difficult to say because he has always been incredibly stupid, and his pathological narcissism hinders him in having an attention span for anything that doesn’t involve him being the center of attention. If he has dementia we wouldn’t really be able to tell until he reaches a more serious crippling phase, such as with non-verbalism or similar, because has always been an incoherent rambler.
He definitely is getting old with the naps and shitting himself.
- Comment on Why doesn't the reflecting pool just use an automated strainer on it, that would run about every six hours, like a mechanical pool cleaner? Instead of paying 15 mil just for a bunch to clean? 4 weeks ago:
It should be mentioned that what they did was totally unnecessary. Trump wanted to paint the pool blue so it resembles the swimming pools he is used to at his McMansion in Floradia, and that was what he paid an associate of his 17 mil to do.
All of this is caused by Trump making a stupid, corrupt and costly decision, which pretty much sums up all of his life. It is not part of how the pool is usual serviced.
