Yeah man, that's where we are. It will likely go worse but that's the thing people need to do. Can't suggest it. Can't organize it. Patriot act and what not. But that's the type of pressure that needs applied.

So here's the rub. I agree with you but rules are not universal. They don't give a shit about the money they're making now they see the countries whose markets they can't enter because of various laws and get pissed. So we get held to the most restricted standards that will allow them the most business. It's bs. Basically since they want to do hypothetical business in like... Vietnam, we have to loose our smut.

This has been a thing for at least ten years now. Credit card and money processor companies have policied content for ages. That's why it's hard in some ways to pay for porn. They fucking strong arm and moralize. To be fair I only have like one game on steam that's smut but since it was snow days I'm betting it will be removed.

Not from marvel. From history. And very American. If you know you know. Black Panthers were good people.

2A black panther style

Man, As an American i just want to live a comfortable life. I can't do shit about the fact that a third if the country is rewarded and upset about stuff that has nothing to do with them because the richest told them to be. Fuck it man. You want to do something about it?

What is this Meta media literacy? Real talk though, I bet you could find the Christian equivalent if you looked hard enough.

Member countries would have to divest from the dollar first. We got everyone to use our currencies as a form of stabilizing politics and now we have a group of bad actors using that to their advantage.

As an American I'll have you know that I resemble that remark!

I'm just waiting for Yellowstone to go off. Positive change can't happen without something brutal. That's the one I hope for. Or just an asteroid hitting DC that would be dope.

I didn't have a point in my statement. You and everyone else can take it easy with the geoploiticing. I'm aware that generally there isn't anyone completely in the right in the middle east. I was just pointing out how interesting it is that I was condemning Iran not two years ago and wanting a regime change and now Isreal is picking this fight. I was tempering my own mental reaction. Things move fast and we forget things. A western puppet gov in iran might actually be good for its people. I just dont think the US should put troops on the ground. We all sit behind a screen and talk into the void picking sides and arguing about this and that but for now, it amounts to nothing.

Yeah it's too bad the phrase "both sides" has become another trigger term for people. You legitimately can't say anything anymore. Tribalism is a real problem online. You used to be able to have opinions that differered from other people. On principle I understand wanting to advocate for human rights. But bad actors have turned what should be a forum for discussion into what amounts to a binary rap battle. It's online gang warfare that's been cultivated to stop communication and growth. It's gross. Life is complicated and we can't always be right but we can always try our best.

That makes sense. It's funny how people have forgotten the women's protests of a few years ago and are quick to jump to Iran's defense. They may not be the aggressors but as a country they aren't innocent. They have their problems. Russia trying to get their hegemony makes sense.

War doesn't have limits. It had suggestions.

Yeah pretty much, Trump had ties to the Russian mob. Beyond that, they probably poured money into the MAGA movement for God knows how many senators. Putin won. Well played really.

It's Linux for me but I also have to assume tablet culture plays a role too.
