The Russian SVR hacked both the DNC and RNC. Russia chose to release only the DNC files, to damage Hillary and support Trump. This is established fact per detailed indictments based on a mountain of technical evidence.

So just because what they released was authentic documents does NOT mean they’re some sort of impartial source as they claim here. Julian Assange is and was a Russian asset, he contributed greatly to the damage of American democracy brought on by Trump, and I hope he rots in prison right next to Trump himself and every other traitor and foreign intelligence asset who supports him.

Ukraine has won simply by continuing to exist over 2 years after Putin’s 3 day invasion started. Your pathetic attempts to influence Internet audiences in favor of Russia won’t help either, miserable troll. Bigoted, oppressive, evil societies like Russia will never win.

The only people this should ever be used on is the assholes who came up with it. Black Mirror wasn’t meant to be a playbook people!

Damaging an aircraft is a serious felony, and you don’t own the airspace above your house so you legally can’t interfere with them. You think the people at Amazon haven’t thought about this? That thing will be covered in cameras and microphones, you won’t be able to touch it without being charged.

The average basement dweller probably just needs more water in their life, but anyone eating a balanced diet who is sweating and working out hard or competiting in an athletic event absolutely needs electrolytes not just water. Drinks like Gatorade with simple sugar in them are also still good in this context, the sugar is a readily burned source of energy that is important to have available for high intensity activity. Obviously if you drink sugar and sit on the couch it just goes to your waist, but that doesn’t make it bad for people who are using it correctly.

This captures why I don’t enjoy Harry Potter (in addition to JKR being a shitter)

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform. It’s not like a transportation or a food or power company monopoly, it’s one specific form of entertainment. Try going outside?

That is infinitely funnier, using solely LoTR quotes would make road rage much more humorous

Seems like a good word, I like that

It’s only an “established slur” to some people (mostly in online niche communities), to a lot of people it’s just everyday speech. Words such as retarded, special needs, intellectually disabled, moron, imbecile and more are all terms used to describe a disability, just like “blind”. I’m tired of this artificially accelerated pejoration sped along by people who just want to correct others to feel good about themselves, the euphemism treadmill for people with intellectual disabilities in particular spins faster than for any other topic. We haven’t invented 15 different phrases for blind in the last 50 years, there’s no reason to do it for disabled brains any more than for disabled eyeballs.

Instead that energy should be focused on ensuring people don’t use someone’s disability to put the disabled person down. Those people are the real problem, not normal folks criticizing people for their shitty behaviors they can control, not immutable characteristics about themselves.

Foolish seems like a useful word, probably could be substituted and keep the intended meaning intact.

What is wrong with calling people unintelligent when they are doing unintelligent things that are directly causing me problems (for example, people on their phones blowing through red lights?) If someone tries to change lanes into me and I say “are you blind? You almost hit me!” is that similarly bad?

Good work, you only have 17 more anti-Ukraine posts to make before your quota is met. Enjoy the paltry sum of rapidly-depreciating rubles your work is earning you, hope it was worth trading hours of your miserable existence for.

Wtf would a low level IT contractor turned spy know about that? Quoting Snowden just makes you look like a moron

Haha no worries, I also own a Steam Deck handheld, to make it extra confusing, but I was talking about a Stream deck by Elgato, a little device with programmable buttons.

My stream deck, which I use to resize windows, lock my computer, handle Spotify and discord, and more, does not work at all with Linux. Switching to my dual boot option feels like cutting off my left thumb, sure I can still do most things it just takes longer and feels awkward so why would I?
