because putins precondition for peacetalks is ukranian withdrawal from the donbass, which translates to any progress made by the ukranians since 2022.

1·3 months agoCan’t wait for dumb investors to get bailed out again can’t have the engines of finance halt woo woo lets go.
why are you defining imperialism as the export of capital and not, idk, the use of force against other nations?
aren’t marxist-leninists supposed to be against all empire?
Under the asumption I am most people, can you give me the definition of socialism you prefer?
and are the enlightened centrists in the room with us now?
21·4 months agoWould you like to place bets on the chance of there being a 2028 election? I won’t even ask for 1:100000 odds, I’ll happily accept 1:100
I downvoted, not due to any disagreement towards the politics, but just because the memecraft on display here is abyssmal.
Software costs nothing to copy and paste, only to design.
The term “whale” just implies a big spender, it doesn’t exlude gambling addicts, dumb children or the fiscally irresponsable.
9·5 months agoWe scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.
This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. ‘loiter time’ is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (being the only feedback given) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.
Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.
It’d be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there’s no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It’s possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.
Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to “end violence against women and children in one generation”?
Company proceeds to be purchased by microsoft
So far the XCOM series has been pretty good at that. Each game typically has 1 big pack which feels worth the money and 1 or 2 chea[ stinkers there’s no need/push to buy
Ok, but you can’t actually isolate ‘knowledge of addictive behaviour’ into a regulatable thing without an absurd amount of government oversight i.e. examing every employees work to check they aren’t using that pesky psyschology degree.
Ok, but what would be the legal precendent there? We regulate tabacco precisely because of it’s psychological and medical effects, not because it’s bad for your wallet. This lawsuit depends upon a claim of addiction because you can’t just regulate something for annoying you.
I mean, if there were to be conscription it probably wouldn’t be for technical roles like mechanics or artillery coordinators. It would be for logistical duties (drive this truck, mop this floor, cook this soup) and for dads-army-esque garrison duty. That then frees up the career soldiers to do what they are trained for. Mass mobilisation for an infantry-focused army I cannot see happening, mostly because Russia would be rubble by the time we get that desperate.
I am suicidal so I may fight just so I can die.
Sadly you can get disqualified for that.
it’s that zelensky is being posed in the meme as the main obstacle to peace, rather than the invading russian army.
