Damn that second paragraph is going to get some copy-paste action from me. It’s perfect to describe so many libs I’ve interacted with

Does Ukraine seem very healthy? I’m going to not just do the “dunking” thing for a comment because I was inspired by one of our comrades here earlier today. So think deeply about this: does Ukraine seem healthy and like a good place to live? Look at their treatment of migrants in the past 10 years, and their loss of popularity among a significant portion of the population (enough to sustain a civil war. Even if you think Russia is fully behind that, the population in much of the Donbas still supported it). An illegal coup in 2015 (regardless of whether you support it, it was extrajudicial and that is a sign of lack of a healthy society). Right now, they are fighting a losing battle while picking people off the streets, totally unwillingly, to die on the front lines while their supposed allies just slowly allow justtttt enough weapons through to keep that cycle going. That can’t be good and is not something anyone should ever want to repeat.

I also am afraid of some til-now-unexpected result of this. Like the countries exporting to the US drop the prices to maintain the market because they really do need the dollar. Like a race to the bottom, where the country whose exporters dont do it lose out. There’s a chance of that and that Trump managed to do this before another currency managed to make itself attractive enough… I’m yet unsure

All good, from your “glory to the martyrs” it was clear you have good intentions. I was honestly just wondering if I misunderstood this word. So I’m not even sure if I’m right lol

Dialectics: standardization just changed the form of the diversity. As standardization came to resolve contradictions in rulesets, it allowed a broader amount of play and deeper tactics and strategies which now define the diversity found. It also makes accessibility higher, so the diversity came in the form of education levels and such too.

That’s not to say it’s all good, just that the shift is a very normal sort of centralization like you find in many fields.

Ought is pretty weird in this context, right? Like insinuating that it is correct for them to have died? You could instead say “inevitable” which carries less moral judgement. I think?

I don’t code as a job, but I deal with codes for solving simple problems and automating certain office work. I use it extensively to write loops and nested loops because I can’t keep that shit straight in my head and always make a +1 or -1 mistake that I can’t find. And I haven’t had it give me a bad loop in any language yet.

Gotta add a bit of realism to this: countries will trade with the US for this stuff regardless because much of it is needed and China can’t replace it all immediately. But the long term effects to US relations are big yes.

I asked it to use Losurdo’s framework from Western Marxism for a few topics and managed to get it to make some interesting answers.

I don’t think this is the correct use case, of course, but it was fun

I feel like I know nothing more from this answer than the pic already said. I guess “imitate” clarifies that these bears haven’t been trained to box to the death I guess, but I still have too many questions to choose from lol. I guess: is it purely show with no real determination of a winner?
