Chest puffing or defending their national territory? Why is the US military even active thousands of kilometers from their own territory? On the other hand the United States goes completely hysterical over some weather balloons, imagine that Russia also sent drones like this.

Like you say, absurd. China has no reason to stop its resistance to imperial conquest without any fight.

What rethoric?

@Elara@lemmygrad.ml Fyi your bot replied 5 times in this thread.

Firstly, suppliers in Morocco and Spain, the UK’s biggest sources of fresh vegetables in the winter, have been suffering from cold temperatures, rain and flooding over the past month, which disrupted harvests and halted deliveries.

Then why are there no shortages in the rest of Europe? Odd how it's always UK that has these problems. Can't be related to brexit right?

Pixelfed always makes big announcements and then takes years to release anything. In fact I think they first announced groups support over a year ago.

Wouldn't want a shooter get hurt by police bullets, right?

Oh yes, the ridiculous obsession of muricans with European countries that they know nothing about.

I talked about the balloons from 1950s mentioned in your link...

In other words, everyone who has a different opinion from me is a nazi. At least that's how many people online see it.

Okay but that's completely unrelated to my comment.

Your article doesn't mention where these balloons were launched from. I read the same thing about pacific winds going from China to United States. Which means they were likely launched from Europe or nearby, just like pingveno says.

Anything to distract from real problems.

That those are different things. Can't be so hard to understand.

Who else would you suspect? Don't say Russia because that's ridiculous.

I think the most likely scenario is that China intentionally flew a regular weather balloon with bunch of western tech in it knowing precisely how US would react.

That's impossible because weather balloons aren't steerable. There was just an unusual wind. If it was really a spy balloon, the US also wouldn't have quietly allowed it to fly over Alaska and Canada.

It's essentially an automated bullshit generator. A lot of people with bullshit jobs will be out of work. More importantly, people will necessarily get better at distinguishing bullshit from actual facts, and that will make it much more difficult for corporate media to tell their lies. At least that's my naive hope.

I'm not denying that, but clearly there was no regime change. And in the countries you mention there was war necessary for that.

That's just not true. The stated goal of sanctions is regime change. Yet Cuba or DPRK have been under sanctions for decades with no effect in that regard.

Everyone with half a brain knew this months ago. Biden openly announced that Nord Stream 2 would be taken out. Also the US is the only one to benefit from its destruction, by selling LNG at a huge markup.

These weather balloons fly very high so a missile is about the only way to reach it. And you can be sure that the US government will never admit that it was a weather balloon, because then it would be obvious that they are lying.

Curious that they don't link the video to let people form their own opinion. Here is the link in case anyone is interested.

There is stable diffusion which is amazing, but it's for image generation and not text.

China doesn't intervene in the internal politics of other countries. They will be fully content once the US stops doing imperialism and stays in its own borders.

Yes, of course there need to be some restrictions for the books which are made available in schools. Or would you find it okay if a teacher added cryptofascist books to the school library? That might be hard to notice for people who are not familiar with the topic, so it makes sense to have an approval process.

In a message sent from the Manatee district to principals, the material must be “free of pornography” and “appropriate for the age level and group.”

That sounds quite reasonable.

There is no deadline or timeline as to when classroom books would need to be vetted by, he said.

So basically these teachers are making a big drama out of nothing.

Sure but it's more of a secondary goal. And why rush to capture territory at huge losses when the enemy keeps sending troops which can easily be wiped out?

The objective is to demilitarize Ukraine and Nato. Russia is doing that by grinding down all the tanks, artillery and equipment which are being sent. Western arsenals are being completely depleted, and will take many years to rebuild. Capturing territory was never the goal for Russia.

Wait until you find out how many people die from heart disease or cancer.

Are we still doing vovid fearmongering? Its been three years now, I thought most people realized that the risk was completely exxagerated in order to create profits for pharma companies.

Like I said, pointless drama that no one cared about for more than a couple of days. As usual on Mastodon.

There was some silly drama because they shared something about a police officer who used their products. No doubt everyone forgot about that within a few days, thats how Masotodon is.

So Russia declares a unilateral ceasefire, Ukraine keeps firing and then whines that Russia fires back at them? Are they serious?

I bet corporations like Google will also release their own AIs sooner or later. They are so effective as tools that you either use them or fall behind in innovation.

Such countermeasures will only lead to an arms race, and I think its likely that AI will win. Because any tool that can detect if a given text was written by AI, can also be used to improve that AI.

Most likely the way that school works will have to change to account for new technology.

Check the linked account, it only posts memes and no actual locations. Pretty funny that people get upset about that.

To be honest I didnt read it to the end after encountering such a ridiculous argument being seriously considered.

Yes, legend of the condor heroes is easily one of the best series I ever watched. Sadly the two other series have much weaker storylines in my opinion.

I would rather go back to the old normal.

French people not rioting for one day would be news.
