As a general rule for AliExpress, if something is priced too low, it’s going to be garbage.

I’ve relied on Reddit thread advice in the past for getting decently reputable Chinese brands, which has worked well when buying various things (cycling gear, kitchen scale, mini-PC).

Seems unlikely that they will be successful in shutting it down. If that were the case, they would have been shut down over the books already.

Hot damn. Imagine getting executed by high pressure chamber, kind of gnarly

We get encouraged to try out AI tools for various purposes to see where we can find value out of them, if any. There are some use-cases where the tech makes sense when wielded correctly, and in those cases I make use of it. In other cases, I don’t.

So far, I suspect we may be striking a decent balance. I have however noticed a concern trend of people copy-pasting unfiltered slop as a response to various scenarios, which is obviously not helpful.

Non-engineering positions

Big tech pays large amounts of money. This is why people choose to work there.

I have figured it out: many of them.

Great! I salute your rigour in the matter. How many of them was it?

And no, Amnesty did not produce a significant amount of primary evidence. You’re just straight up lying now.

There are 430 hits for “Amnesty International interview” as sources.

Who knows, maybe they just interviewed Adrian Zenz for all of those claims. The joke would very much be on me in that case

Feel free to figure that part out. At a cursory glance, a not-insignificant part was information sourced directly by Amnesty.

Is Amnesty International a fundamentalist right wing organization, captured by Adrian Zenz?

They do cite him five times in their report on the subject, but their report does contain a total of 718 sources.

This is not to say that their report should be treated as uncritically correct, but neither should their claims be dismissed outright because of an anticommunist having been a part of doing research on the subject.

To illustrate - Candace Owens, a well known right-wing agitator and all-round piece of shit frequently speaks out against Israel. This does not, very obviously not, make Israel good.

Water, closely followed by coffee. I adhere to a two cup limit, but by god do I enjoy those two cups.

Cowards

I mean, Europe minus Russia has what, like 4x the population of all of Russia?

Russia would be stretched dangerously thin trying to fight on multiple fronts, it’s already putting serious strain on their whole nation.

Why would other nuclear powers stand idly by once Russia drops nukes?

Russia dropping nukes on other countries would lead to the complete destruction of Russia. Why would they do that?

I’m convinced that if one nuke drops, then they will all start dropping at a rapid rate.

This is why no one ever actually uses them, because as soon as you do, it’s game over

You’re under the impression that France, the UK and the US would stand idly by as nukes start to drop around the globe?

There are only so many Russians to be sent as cannon fodder before you run out entirely.

Trying to do what’s being done in Ukraine with multiple fronts? Zero chance of any success.
