As long as Russia has bodies to throw at a conflict, it has no reason to stop. Russia fully switched to a wartime economy, not something you do if you’re not in it for the long haul. If the elections had turned out differently, things might have been differently as well. Alas…

I definitely hope I’m wrong about this. I claim no special insight or understanding other than simple pattern recognition and some decent knowledge of history.

They’re showing us, example by example, that things have changed and that any resistance will be punished harshly.

WW3 is absolutely coming, make no mistake about it. The only thing that’s unclear at this point is the timing, and who will be on which side exactly when it happens. If you’re between 16 and 26 and live in Europe, this would be the time to get out. Conscription is unavoidable at this point.

Welcome to Lemmy. There’s dozens of us!

I estimate around 2029-2030 we’ll be using Rinminbi as the global reserve currency.

Cool, had no idea this existed.

Not could. Will.

The only thing I know gas stoves to be better at than other methods is traditional wok. But that’s hardly a reason to jeopardize your health for.

White rice too.

There’s research to suggest that every language comes with its own specific mode of thinking, which means that for every additional language you pick up, you quite literally gain a new perspective on things in general. I absolutely believe it. It’s also why the party in 1984 was hellbent on using newspeak and outlawing previous languages.

People of mixed race are also often shunned by both parents’ ethnicities for not being “full” which results in less social cohesion.

Basically, people of all ethnicities are bastards to anyone they perceive to be “less than full”. Not unlike how colorism works.

Jericho Rose. Fascinating things.

This will surely not be something to regret later. After all, such diseases like to stay put rather than spreading. Right?

100k for this monstrosity.

I like Mooji’s vids.on youtube. They are pretty long though, in case you’re only looking for 5 minute sessions.

Civil unions work like that over here. I could walk into town hall tomorrow and tell them I want to separate from my SO and all I need is my autograph, not even hers.

Or the Scots and other Scots.

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

Honestly I don’t mind… as long as they stay there.

Now I’m intrigued.

Most of current LLM’s are black boxes. Not even their own creators are fully aware of their inner workings. Which is a great recipe for disaster further down the line.
