They have the same exacting standards for comedy that they do food.

He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.

Fuck this meme is so good

This may legitimately be one of the most damaging moments in western hegemony moving forward. The one area where BRICS and other non-westerm blocs have not made major strides to dissociate from the west is Linux; even North Korea uses its own Linux distro domestically. A large part of the reason for that is that it's traditionally been seen as such a stable and generally apolitical kernel that the usual worries about spyware in your firmware isn't as big of a concern, so China and Russia don't have major concerns about leveraging the kernel for their domestic industries. Hell, Russian programmers have been massive players in open source development traditionally.

This is fire across the bow for Russia, and you can be sure some bureaucrat in Beijing is taking notes right now.

Even for Western propaganda this is the mother of all nothingburgers. China performed routine wargames in its own territorial waters and sailed a carrier group within 100 miles of its own mainland, and somehow this is worth an article on.

At least they're not claiming the CPC violated Taiwan's airspace by flying over their own landmass again.

People get unhealthily addicted to social media, in large part because it's designed to do exactly that. Everyone needs to remember that Twitter isn't real and that you should go do literally anything but doomscroll it on occasion, at minimum.

My guy, if you don't want to learn malloc just learn Rust instead of making every basic function of 99% of electronics take literal seconds.

I generally lean towards classes with more mechanical complexity, so generally casters/status effect types. The gameplay loop needs to sate my ADHD, so if all I'm doing is smacking something with a sword by left clicking I'm quickly going to get bored and drop it.

If you're facing a one-front war, you have justification for your defense. If you're facing a two-front war, either you started some shit or you got tag-teamed by your neighbors, so a toss up whether or not you deserved it.

If you're facing a seven-front war, it is totally and unequivocally your fault. There has never been a country minding its own business that gets dogpiled to that degree in the modern era.

What exactly is the point of peacekeepers if the second an invading force starts shelling the area they just fuck off? The UN didn't issue you those rifles for show.

Mulaney took the opportunity to point out the irony of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs focusing on AI and the future in a city where thousands of humans struggle to live and maintain basic living conditions. “Let me get this straight,” Mulaney said. “You're hosting a ‘future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”

Mulaney even compared the event attendees to himself and his son playing wiffle ball. “We're just two guys hitting wiffle balls badly and yelling ‘good job' at each other,” Mulaney said. “It's sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce.”

Still a piece of shit for cheating on his wife, but standing in front of Jensen and telling him that his work makes the world a worse place is full critical support.

I had this pop up in a news feed and just laughed at how tone-deaf the whole thing was:

In 2021, the Body Shop gathered a group of Gen Zers who are passionate about the climate to critique the company and provide insight into how to be a force for good at the United Nations’ COP26—what could go wrong?

“The activists that were working with us were pretty critical of commerce,” Davis says, adding that there’s a cohort of extremists who think that all businesses are bad from an environmental standpoint. “We live in a world of trying to balance profit and principles. It’s not so straightforward.”

Although the conversation was colorful, he quickly learned that in order for criticisms from a board comprising bright young minds to actually be constructive, they’d need to be less radical.

“It wasn’t just a question of getting young people who are interested, who are smart, who care about the world, who want to make a difference—that’s actually not enough. On top of those things, you’ve got to bring people in who are on the side of wanting business to succeed,” he says, with the caveat, “but succeed on sustainable terms.”

With a vested interest in the company’s success, Davis imagined their feedback would err on the side of constructive criticism, rather than the company just being “slammed.”

"Sure, we could have a moment of introspection when even the labor aristocracy we surround ourselves with as underlings want our heads for lighting the planet on fire for profit, or we could just ignore that and find sycophants to keep telling us we're doing great."

Still a good sign that the kids are at least a little alright.
