Sure, those were separate arguments. The intentionality part was about contemporary, potential parents.

Our parents and grandparents had kids - depending on your age - when there was a world war and tens of thousands of people were dying daily in their country, or in the 50 years where the world was always on the brink of getting destroyed in a nuclear apocalypse if one of the two world powers made the wrong move. Were they dumb?

Not to downplay on the current emergencies which are existential and terrifying, especially seeing how little as a species we are doing to address them - but they are a bit of a silly reason not to have kids.

If you don’t want kids don’t have them, you do you :) far too many people have children out of peer or societal pressure or just carelessness, and we could really use much fewer of those, considering the societal damage of absent or careless parenting. But just be honest with yourself, no need to blame viruses and “no toilet paper”.

Always whatever year you never lived

Yeah right 😔

Well it has to be true if Secret Agent Number Something says so, I have no doubts. Random guys posting random stuff with no hint of a source is the most reliable way to stay informed on the current state of affairs.

Always has been

And yet downvotes are pouring 🫠

I wonder if commenters here went beyond the headline, or bothered to read the quote in the comments.

The actual quote is not remotely as sinister. He said that he will start these community farms (which is not a labour camp for f sake) where addicts (which is not everyone who takes meds, it’s those who do but shouldn’t, of which there are thousands) can voluntarily choose to go, which is a far cry from “I’ll shove anybody who takes antidepressants into a labour camp” as the title suggests.

There are a lot of people who take meds from dealers instead of doctors, who may have started recreationally but are now addicted to them. This is what he is lumping together with other kinds of drug addicts. It’s not even that stupid, it has been shown in studies that addiction is more effectively addressed by giving the person meaningful things to do.

Now you can have your opinion on this idea and you can be skeptical of his implementation and you really should, the guy is a nut job who shouldn’t be allowed within ten kilometres from a government office - but sending regular joes to concentration camps because they take meds is not what he said.

This title is rage bait, don’t fall for it.

There are a lot of answers here but I feel they mostly miss OP’s point so I’ll try my own:

What stops a scammer from HTTPS certifying foobar.reputable.com is the trust system.

Anybody can create a certificate on their machine for anything within seconds, even you could create a certificate for www.google.com. The problem is that you, as an issuer, are not trusted by anybody.

Browsers and operating systems are released with a list of issuers that are considered trustworthy, so if you want your certificate to be recognised it has to come from one of these, not from you.

All of these issuers are in the list because they have been individually vetted, and are known to do their due diligence before issuing certificates, so they would not give you that cert unless they know that the bank domain or subdomain belongs to you, and the technical means to achieve this have been explained in other answers.

But if one of these issuers went rogue, or if you hypothetically hacked into their certification authority, then indeed nothing would stop you from obtaining a valid and recognised certificate for foobar.bank.com.

This is why for example Trustcor was removed from this list in 2022: from that position it would be trivial for a certificate authority to allow third parties to spy on people.

How does one apply to live in such futures? Because this timeline looks like a bunch of rich douches will join the committee, use it to get richer and live happily ever after.

Never happened, also it was just a few thousand, also they were kulaks and Ukrainians did it anyway. But also never happened, western propaganda. And what about NATO bombing Belgrade?!?!?!?!

Ah well, that too :D multiple bad guys can coexist, unfortunately.

Hey don’t get me wrong, I don’t like dead people (me very much included) any more than you do.

But yes, I think that a few deaths - including mine and my loved ones, as it can happen, if it comes to it - in exchange for the destruction of Russia is a bargain.

Russia poses an existential threat to our society and to the world at large. Who do you think is pushing the climate change denial agenda?

Much more damage and much more death and suffering will happen if Russia keeps existing.

Ah, the usual bullshit argument of “go fight it”. Do you think WW3 would have trenches and bayonet charges? This is 2024 and we are the west, we have delegated war to technological superiority backed by doomsday devices. Sure we’d have a few casualties, that’s unavoidable - but hey, omelette and eggs.

To answer your question directly, as silly as it is: my country doesn’t have a draft, we have a professional army which would be more than enough with the rest of NATO to annihilate Russia. But if it came to it, if my death in a bayonet charge contributed to the destruction of Russia, sign me the fuck up.

Needs of the many, etc.

Wait is this somebody who is actually based in trump’s clique?

Downvote me all you want but if there is a chance that we’re going to see Moscow glassed i’m almost happy that the orange motherfucker won.

Big “if” though, better start working on that nuclear suitcase come January, you bloated bag of garbage.

Bottom text indeed, my friend

Fuck me I meant hamas obviously sorry for the confusion. All the news are about hezbollah nowadays so I had a brain fart.

With that said- Hamas was elected forever ago and has since abused and brainwashed their population, they don’t represent Palestine any more than Putin represents the Russian people, which is to say the least debatable. Of course it doesn’t help that Israel did absolutely nothing to be hated less.

Hamas=Palestine is what Israel wants you to think. That’s two millions of terrorists over there, what’s the harm in bombing them? Since when are we nice to terrorists? — don’t let your disgust for Israel play you into their hand.

As for their endgame - do you think Hamas did 7/10 in order to have land back? In what world was a massacre of civilians going to give them bargaining power? They baited Israel into behaving like monsters out in the open at the expense of their own population, and Israel bit hook line and sinker. That was Hamas’s objective and it worked.

Please let’s keep in mind that health ministry = Palestinian government = hezbollah, so not exactly the most trustworthy source of information. Their endgame is pretty much world outrage against Israel.

Don’t get me wrong, I am disgusted by what that neonazi cunt of a country is doing in Palestine. I have no doubt that Israel is bombing, starving, executing civilians by the thousands. Fuck Israel sideways.

I am as far as it gets from an Israel apologist, but in the interest of intellectual honesty let’s keep that in mind.

Edit: Hamas not hezbollah wtf was I thinking

It’s hard to take iPhone longevity seriously though until they do something about the batteries.

True, the phones themselves are functional and updated for a long long time, but after a few years it’s unthinkable to go anywhere without a power bank and that’s a great motivator for throwing an otherwise perfectly good phone. If they actually cared they’d make the battery replaceable.
