  • Hell, NK joining the war is an escalation by both NK and Russia. Does this justify NATO adding Ukraine just for them to immediately invoke article 5? I don’t think so.

    Here’s the thing, if Ukraine just invaded Kursk, unprompted, and Russia used North Korean troops to push them back into Ukraine, it would be problematic because of the sanctions against North Korea, but it would not be an escalation, it would merely be Russia’s allies helping it to defend itself.

    The reality though, because Russia is in Ukraine, is that those troops, even if they’re only deployed to Kursk, are done so to free up more Russian troops to invade Ukraine. Which makes it a massive escalation of the invasion of Ukraine no matter what.

    NATO troops (or planes if we were to impose a no fly zone), would, however, still be purely defensive. Hell, ask Ukraine to give up Kursk for direct Nato support and they would in a second.


  • It’s not about cheapness, it’s about consistency.

    You wanna set up different dev environments and process for every single language you or someone from your team might use? Oh we need documentation and a license for IDEA when we’re doing Java work, and PyCharm when we’re doing Python work, and WebStorm when we’re doing JavaScript work, or we just all use VSCode for everything.

    I’ve worked on Java teams, Python Teams, JavaScript Teams, C# teams, and quite frankly, I’ve seen no major benefit to a dedicated IDE for that language vs just configuring VSCode plugins and CLI scripts.

    Go get blown up by a mine in kursk to build Putin another palace, you dumb fucking Russian.

    Hurrr durrr people are discriminating against me just because I started the first land war in Europe for no reason.

    Jesus Christ, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Russia’s best minds have either left or been been shreded by FPV drones.

    Nope. It’s a factual statement since Russia invaded Europe, raped and murdered its citizens en masse, and chose to remove itself from the world order, Europe, and being a nation deserving of anything other than disgust and distain.

    Posting messages that make progressive people apathetic about the state of the electoral system right before an election, is literally equivalent to actively campaigning for the less progressive option. It is straight up an anti-democratic tactic frequently used by Republicans to lower democratic voter turnout.

    Dude I am European, and definitely not Republican,

    Russia is not part of Europe, so if you’re actually from Europe, learn to stay in your lane and not try to influence a foreign election, if you are Russian, go fuck yourself and stop trying to influence a foreign election.

    Shut the fuck up with this Republican trash.

    I’ve never been in, nor contemplated the possible existence of, a situation where picking the less bad option was infinitely better than picking the most bad option.

    Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up.







  • the law wont save you. laws will prevent no one from doing this, just like outlawing encryption couldn’t prevent decentralized encrypted messengers from being used.

    An illegal actor could still comb the internet and create a private face recognition db, but they would be taking on risk, paying substantial infratstructure costs, would not be able to make it widely available for fear of being caught, and would have limited options for actually making any real money from it.

    It would completely prevent say, your average stalker, or jilted ex, or non techy weirdo from.being able to access it, and it would prevent corporations from spending all their time building business around privacy invasion.
