Saw a Ukrainian soldier use a shoulder-fired rocket to take out a helicopter, then he flipped the rocket launcher to his back and it disappeared completely, and then an AK instantly appeared in his hands.
I always thought disappearing weapons/bulletholes/debris was unrealistic in games, but now that I know it happens in real life too...
George W Bush was interrupted during a meeting by a staffer. "There has been a plane crash and 6 Brazilian ambassadors are dead."
"This is terrible," Bush says, his head dropping in sadness. "But how many is a Brazillion?"
At first I thought it would be free verse poetry, but then she acted like a lawyer resting her case as soon as the dude admitted that all humanity's hopes and dreams live, laugh, and love inside hard magic drives crystals.
Beautiful display of peak human.
Yep. The Kyiv guy I think is who got me.
I recognized their mannerisms from early Я/politics, which spread to Я/news, then to Я/worldnews, then Я/science, then Я/conspiracy, then when Russia invaded Ukraine I noticed them here on the *.win's.
It's maybe one person, or it could be a small organized group like a scam call center office, or maybe it's a bunch of individual actors who were groomed under the tutelage of a common master.
Critical theory is the AIDS of discourse, turning the topic body against itself.
The n-niggerword is the Prion of discourse, a misfolded 'negro' takes up more and more of one's vocabulary until communication is impossible.
Advertisement is the cancer of discourse, the more resources the ads attract, the more ads appear. Either nearby (more ads per break), or completely elsewhere (now the train/bus is ads). Advertisement is Stage 4 cancer.
The very first European universities were created to protect and heal a sick language. Modern universities sicken the language further.
The most reliable way to boost the economy is to war.
A million dollars divided into 10 people is nice, but what if the 4 of us vote to make these 3 fight those 3. A million dollars split between the 5 or 6 survivors is much better. No industry or productivity required, just pure profit.
I'm pretty sure the "bad movie" repeats because it's an easy way to launder vast amounts of cash and then spin it like it was for the public's own benefit.
I'm getting pretty tired of the Ukrainians having military vehicles in Ukrainian cities.
Maybe after Russia saves Ukraine from their own country, then the Russians can cross the Chinese border to save the Uighurs from their own country? If Russian Federation is the new world police...
Your phone screen is reflective. You subliminally see your own face behind everything you look at online. It adds artificial credibility by cross-associating the image of yourself with the information being pushed.
The opinions are falsified. Bot farms full of rudimentary AI computers produce a flood of comments and content to overwhelm dissenting opinions. Anyone looking for answers, those seeking consensus, anyone whose mind is democratic enough to accept the majority: these people are manipulable through canvassing.
Neurotransmitters have fuzzy edges. Seeing something you enjoy may grant some dopamine, but the effects don't fade away instantly. This can be gamed by showing a person something they like, followed quickly by something the Manipulator wants you to like. The dopamine carries over and the viewer's mind associates the dopaminergic reaction to whatever is advertised.
The WWW was birthed during a period of fascination with cults and new religions. It has become clear the purpose of the 666 is to cast a global net to draw gullible sheep into the cult(s). The internet. Like a spider who has spun a world-wide web. I will make you fishers of men. -Jesus
