The same way slopgen cleverly went around seemingly unbendable coryright laws: by ignoring the shit out of it, and half-scaring half-bribing the governments and the public to allow them to do whatever the fuck they want.

The problem now, is that it's hot at nights. You open windows at night, and let 29 degree air in, and there is nothing to cool it down.

Validity of numbers aside, I don't really want to dig into the statistics, AC eats a lot of energy, and most of the energy in US is dirty. So by allegedly not slaughtering people in the US, US massacring people outside of the US by propagating climate change and creating the conditions for this hell in the first place.

You need 30kmph for it to be safe, and I'm talking proper 30 kmph, not "the sign says 30 but the road is straight and I feel quite safe being two drinks in" 30 kmph

Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?

The problem is, and the reason I got this angry, is that when you discovered something you didn't understand, instead of actually trying to learn, you created a narrative, devised the idea, and started this conspiratorial stuff, spreading it to a bunch of gullible idiots. And when you got feedback on that, you got defensive, and now it's apparently my job to explain you everything, and you're absolved of everything.
That's exactly how conspiracy theories start and propagate. That's exactly the mindset that is so dangerous and so deadly.
I'm not gonna explain you why you're wrong, because I want you to learn how to look for the information on the internet, and I want you (and everyone really) to maybe get into a habit of searching for the info on stuff you don't know, before formulating theories.

Everyone does. Perfect age for a war, brain is practically non-developed, but body pretty much is. Closest thing to a mindless drone that we can get without lobotomy, just with some propaganda.

Well, we're talking about this random inconsequential bullshit, so I guess they're actually winning.

I mean does anybody really know how to play Chess?
Reply in thread
Chess isn't actually a logic game or a smarts game, it's a memory game. If you're a computer or one of those 15-people-per-generation chess brains, then yeah, you probably can logic your way into thinking enough moves ahead. If not, your only option is to remember a bunch of different plays and learn how to recognise and execute the preditermined strategies. If you try to do it your way, you will be stuck losing to a bad computer or chess club kids online

Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

It's two different problems. We started seeing animals as beings fairly recently, and the movement to actually not make them suffer is fairly new. In previous generations the reason we didn't do it properly was mainly "we don't want to", now enough of us do want it, and profit driven reality prevents it.

Man, knowing nothing about what you're talking about and being confidently paranoid is an amazing way to actually miss the ways the corpos are fucking you.
It's too complicated to even begin to describe why what you're saying is embarrassingly wrong, and that's actually ok, not knowing how your phone works is not something against you, being confidently incorrect and not even wanting to learn is.

I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows
Linux isn’t especially complicated on a daily basis, but you have to be willing to solve your own problems
Who was solving your problems before then?

The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025
It's not the EU yet. It's a group of activists from Denmark. There wasn't even preliminary voting on it yet.
Doesn't mean we need to be complacent of course, but so far nothing happened.

As American example shows us in real time, it's not something you just "figure out" once. Democracy requires society to always win in eternal struggle against human nature.
