neo, to politics in Newsmax Host Ominously Warns ‘You People in Your Cities’ Who Are ‘Pushing the Party That Owns 90% of the Guns’

Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.

  • This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
  • Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won’t lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
  • That’s just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
  • If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
  • I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.

I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.

neo, to world in Delhi temperature hits 52.9C, shattering India’s national record

Good point. I haven’t thought of that. Boy do I hope it will never come this. I don’t think the city’s water supply would last long.

neo, to world in Delhi temperature hits 52.9C, shattering India’s national record

Only people with AC (or deep basements?) would be save… as long as they have electricity.

Makes me wonder what would happen in a mega city like Delhi, when the weather get’s lethal. Will people storm places with AC or will they be apathetic (like starving people).

I hope we won’t find out! But at least heat shelters will probably become normal.

neo, to politics in Jan. 6 officer says mother swatted after he called Tump 'authoritarian'

Look, he’s no fascist. He’s just a strong leader who’s always right, doesn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer, makes his own rules, demands absolute loyalty and calls himself not only a patriot, but a nationalist who happens to be white…

Sure he jokes about being a dictator, but only because he’s able to see the good in so many of them. Also it would only be on first day in office, since he loves democracy, stable democracy, like in the People’s Republic of China or Russia, where a strong leader can be elected more than just twice.

Boy o boy, people not understanding this will give future historians quite a head scratcher.

neo, to world in Israel sharpens its tone to Spain: "The Inquisition is over. Those who harm us, we will harm them"

Don’t be agitated by the headline.

Here ‘harm’ is meant in a diplomatic way. They put restrictions on the Spanish consulate. It is strong language, but nobody is talking about physical harm (just as Spain hasn’t harmed Israel physically).

From the article:

According to these measures, Israel prohibits the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from “conducting consular activities or providing consular services to residents of the Palestinian Authority”, although it clarified that the measure does not apply to people with Spanish nationality.

neo, to politics in Billionaire Capitalists Like Musk and Thiel Want to Kill Democracy

I don’t get that. I would rather be a Billionaire in a “moderated” democracy, than in a system where you can just disappear or fall out of a window, if a single more powerful person wishes so.

neo, to world in Mexico City could run out of water in a month unless it rains

If Mexico implodes this summer, this could help the presidential candidate who works towards more CO2 emissions. Ironic.

neo, to pcgaming in Baldur's Gate 3 head writer reveals we almost got to revisit the first game's 'academic dungeon' prologue area, Candlekeep

There is no greater joy than playing BG3 with its ridiculous amount of fantastic content. :D

There is no greater pain than reading about all the content that was cut from the game. T_T

neo, to politics in Corporations Already Spent Over $1 Billion on Lobbying in First Quarter of 2024

Somewhere I read that medium sized bribes are most effective, because they don’t turn the bribing into “a big thing”.

Also, that is probably the reported number. Surely additional lobbying will be labeled differently.

And this is not a phase or an outliner. This is the new normal - or it would be if things wouldn’t get worse.

neo, to tenforward in "Never tell the same lie twice." - A simple tailor

Of course I am sure, Mr. Bonehead. I was there, after all and I remember it quite fondly.

You on the other hand, would do good in questioning your sources and who might have had an interest in tempering with them. I’ve heard rumours about changelings infiltrating earth’s communication.

neo, to tenforward in "Never tell the same lie twice." - A simple tailor

My dear ummthatguy, I believe you know me to well.

neo, to tenforward in "Never tell the same lie twice." - A simple tailor

Fun fact: he never actually said that. People just confuse him with Gul Du Dok. A character most fans propably don’t even remember - ironically.

neo, to games in [Gamers Nexus] ASUS Says We're "Confused"

My speculation would be: GamerNexxus plays the YouTube game and uses clickbaity titles (sometimes? I don’t know many of their videos). And it seems the host likes to hear himself talk (which would make sense, given that talking is his job).

However, some people don’t like it and therefore downvote comments that welcome the channel.
