Have seen euromaidanpress articles before, I think they're legit if not a bit sensationalist and obviously very pro-Ukraine.
And of course Russia blames a smoooooking incident. There's this one Russian guy who just smokes everywhere he shouldn't. Munition storages, aviation bases, flagship Moskva...
He's not leaving politics, he's at most changing vector. From being visible, to working more in the shadows.
That's correct. In school the most important thing you can possibly learn is to learn. Information is abundant and easily accessible, the school, university or even research labs are no longer gatekeepers of information. But knowing HOW to find resources, HOW to filter it, HOW to use it, HOW to sit your ass down and work with information in a meaningful way is a specialized and rare skill.
You should be allowed to root for Admiral Thrawn independent of where you are on the political or autistic spectrum!
Sorry, like always, when I write "you" I mean the ethereal concept of a human reader, not you personally. Pretty sure many here use tiktok though, made a comment about it the other day how adults dancing for kids on there a creepy, and if the downdoot R*ddit system here is any indicator, people did NOT like that one bit lmao.
And I can’t exactly throw away my phone because of work.
I hear that all the time. Does your work DEMAND of you to doom scroll TikTok while on the shitter? Or just that you are reachable via phone and/or text? If it's the latter a Nokia phone does the job and does it better too.
But at least AI slop is easy as shit to see
For you, and for now.
Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.
Reliance on AI obliterates your ability to solve problems. We have an extreme competency crisis right now mostly because especially young people find themselves utterly helpless without their pocket rectangle and easily overwhelmed. It also convinces you algorithmic search results and AI responses curated by companies are "reality". Turning people trusting these technologies into sedated and borderline mindless consumer cattle.

Russia and China are stepping up their demoralization efforts.
After disrupting and perhaps permanently crippling the US by helping to get Trump elected, the next step is of course to now support the other side so we do the funny civil war happening. Especially China is very interested in this for obvious reasons. Social media is getting swamped again with AI slop and bots en masse if the recent Lemmy posts are any indicator. Throw away your mobile phone. Barring that, delete all social media you participate in for more than 10 minutes a day. It does not "connect" you with anyone, it destroys you!
Not quite, the DNC was still ahead. But democrats didn't want the optics of a last-minute open primary where the candidates rip into each other trying to get the nomination on live TV. Plus Kamala herself seemed to move quickly and wanted the nomination before anyone had a chance to get a word in.
Yeah not absolutely every meme/slang listed might be originated on 4Chan. TLDR seems to have originated or at least popularized by the SomethingAwful forums, which together with ebaumsworld could be considered the parents of 4Chan (with cross-pollination by Newgrounds?). But 4Chan was the crossroads of all these memes coming together, germinating and spreading to every other site shortly after.
Ah, here is step one. The "Mutter der Nation" medal for women having 5+ children.
Next stop: Lebensborn projects where women are forced to get impregnated by real american patriots (tm)
