Then how would you explain what netflix is doing to their customers?

Happy cakeday. And yeah deescalation requires both parties to open to de-arm not only one of them.

Honestly though the best case scenario of how this all ends doesn’t really look great to me.

Either Russia loses the war, the government destabilizes, a power vacuum is formed which causes a power shift in a way likely to lead to more aggressive action in the future.

Or Russia wins the war, eyes other countries after it settles into Ukraine, NATO/US need to respond or else it sends the wrong message to other countries allied with them, and we head for WW3

Edit: There is also the idea of a stalemate and this just becomes a continuous war that doesn’t really end, but honestly I can’t see that being stable long term.

Does that mean other people in this hypothetical world have superpowers as well?

Any picture/video/text that is tries to present facts or events without sources should be dismissed (unless they are facts or events that you have previously verified for yourself). At least with a source you can reason about motives, resources, etc. to get a better picture of what is being pushed and why.

I guess we are going to be in for more SEO spam than usual if this document is accurate. But I think its good that we are finally going to get a better understanding how Google manipulates people with the algorithm.

So a win-lose situation.

Yeah I hope the best for you too. I was trying to lighten the mood but it is going to get dark before it gets any better.

Tough choice GB but I’ll go with option B. What do I win?

I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France.

The people that are affected by the racism want to be independent and the people that aren’t want to stay a part of France. So the cost isn’t spread evenly, that’s why there is this huge problem in the first place.

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

Yeah from what I understand the situation there is complicated. A majority of the people that live in New Caledonia want to stay a part of France and that majority is made of mostly the Europeans and the other migrants.

However the Kanak are socioeconomically disadvantaged compared to the rest of the state and they feel like they aren’t being represented enough (due to a slim minority) on what they consider aboriginal land (even though other people have been living there for a long time too).

It is a weird situation.

Edit: added (due to a slim minority)

That’s a smaller population than I thought. I thought maybe a half a million at least but I guess not.

I used the auto-generated title for this but realized that the actual title looks different so should I change it?

Ah well then I might try and find a license that doesn’t require attribution because I don’t care about that part. But the rest seem exactly what I’m going for.

Edit: grammar

Well first thing is that the license is a copyleft license so it is still allowed to be used, distributed, etc. the only real difference between this license and public domain (as far as I know) is me saying that I don’t want it being used for commercial purposes that’s it.

Also for me its more just a way for me to say fuck you to everything having to be commercialized so even if it doesn’t hold legal water I don’t care.

I loved that show. Any other time travel stuff you’d recommend? Shows or books.

I think that in the long term that there is one thing going for the truth: It is more coherent and more predictive of what is to come next.

If a country does a campaign that tries to fabricate a story from scratch if they aren’t very careful there will be some form of incoherence eventually if there is any slip up. That’s why its always easier to just frame the truth in positive or negative lights instead because it removes the need to try and create coherent stories.

And yes I know that there are people that believe incoherent truths about the world but that is mainly because it doesn’t actually affect most of the actions that they take on a day to day basis so they don’t have an actual incentive to improve their understanding of the world. If they need to make decisions based on that information they will make bad decisions until their understanding of the world has changed or they are out competed by people with more accurate beliefs.

T.L.D.R.

Lies take consistent effort to keep straight and eventually they’ll fuck up, Spin is easier and more effective for changing values, and people tend to have more accurate beliefs if they are actually useful to have them.

FYI I’ve found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.

Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn’t countries be more likely to start a war.

Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn’t an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.

Oh wait I forgot lemmy.world isn’t federated with beehaw.org anymore so you can’t use those communities. Because usually most of the kinds of comments you would be getting would be removed by now.

Well you can get a second account to join beehaw communities or again just reporting and all that stuff.

But honestly I really think you should make a post on [email protected] getting more people to do it because this is the kind of thing that would be interesting to them.
