It's from Australia. Care to try again?

Cypher ,

They should have been shot. North Korean soldiers have previously used such incursions to plant land mines on patrol routes.

Cypher ,

Sure is compassionate of you to be concerned for the lives of men fighting to oppress their own people under a brutal dictatorship.

Cypher ,

Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war.

It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.

Even if you personally don’t feel one side is human

Nice strawman you started building, it's a shame you stopped half way.

And even if you don’t consider either side human

Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?

you know we spend billions

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

keeping South Korea militarized right?

If only they didn't have a brutal dictatorship next door.

We’re still paying

Wrong.

I suspect that you don’t care about either side’s people

It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.

defend western hegemony.

Cry about it tankie scum.

Cypher ,

Try an extension to spoof your browser agent.

I set mine to spoof Chrome and my Firefox + ublock stopped having any issues with YouTube.

Cypher ,

E-bikes are great, the issue is the morons using them.

Cypher ,

Yes Im sure it’s all about addressing dietary deficiencies and not profit motivated at all

Cypher ,

This contribution was based on the understanding that Syngenta would retain commercial exclusivity for the technology, including large agricultural setups in developing countries.

Lots of claims about it being for humanitarian purposes but there it is.

Cypher ,

I did. Did you see the part about it being free only for farms which earn under $10,000 annually?

Do you have any idea of the history of litigation around cross pollination from GMO crops?

What happens when a small farmer cross pollinates a larger farm? Do they get sued the same way Monsanto sued farmers for the cross pollination of GMO corn?

There are many unanswered issues that could arise from allowing golden rice and trusting Western philanthropy, which has been weaponised against developing nations in the past, is a surefire path to costly sabotage.

makes strawman

Cypher ,

Even if you live under a genocidal regime?

Cypher ,

So you’re arguing it is moral to pay taxes even if you are North Korean? Interesting.

Cypher ,

Your opinion is not grounded in fact as represented by statistics from a wide range of countries.

They’re fast. Pedestrians are furious: ‘fat’ ebikes divide Australian beach suburbs ( www.theguardian.com )

Popular among teenagers, the large electric bikes have triggered ‘numerous complaints’ to councils as fears grow for the safety of riders and pedestrians

Cypher ,

I agree, whataboutism makes for the best discussion

Cypher ,

Firefox with ublock origin was impacted, however only a set of users get the change. This way Youtube can test what impact it has.

The fact you were unaffected means nothing.

Cypher ,

Buying industrial buttons and modding old controllers isn’t really mainstream but damn it should be.

A NES controller with switches and joysticks normally used in a combine harvester is really satisfying.

Cypher ,

Forced relocation of a group fits with Article 2, C;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

So yes Israel is committing genocide.

Cypher ,

Good to see you have formed a strong opinion without having all of the information.

Cypher ,

In terms of water use dishwashers are good however the detergents available have so many surfacants added that chances are using your dishwasher is poisoning both you and waterways.

Cypher ,

Going to war in a jacked up golf cart looks like a bad idea.

Who knew.

Cypher ,

He’s also a pedophile. He was moderator of the jailbait subreddit.

Cypher ,

The Australian government needs to retaliate in a serious way.

They just had talks between generals about this sort of dangerous behaviour and the Chinese immediately do this.

This is a message from China that they don’t respect Australia. Fine.

Australia should cut coal and iron exports to the bastards right before their next winter hits.

Cypher ,

I gave an exact example of serious retaliation.

Australia can find other markets for its exports as we did previously.

China needs a reality check. They need Australia and they need to respect the safety of Australian citizens.

Cypher ,

You’re glad someone who cares about the safety of Australian citizens isn’t in power?

Way to out yourself I guess.

Cypher ,

So your greedy and spineless solution is to allow these bullying tactics to continue until Australians are killed, and then continue to allow trade afterwards.

Cypher ,

So full blown war over seeking alternative trading partners is a better outcome? Because that’s what will happen if Chinese aggression isn’t met with severe consequences.

Cypher ,

Yea selling some iron ore is worth sleep walking into WWIII.

Cypher ,

Blackouts in the country that is an energy exporter.

Starvation in a food exporter.

Shows what you know about economics.

Cypher ,

Trump is the only US President to ever plot to overthrow the US government.

There is no argument here. You are simping for a fat rich sack of shit who tried to end US democracy.

Cypher ,

Cows kill more people every year than horses…

Cypher ,

That turned out great and had no negative consequences whatsoever

Cypher ,

My sister in law fell for one, it was a passport scam where they claim to get detained and need to pay a fee or they will be deported.

They took their time setting it up over several weeks and it worked. She realised when she was explaining to my missus and asking for more money and I raised the alarm.

It was too late and the money was gone.

Poor woman isn’t lucky in the romance department, or in looks. Im not surprised that she was so thrilled to get attention that she ignored all the red flags.

Cypher ,

What a strange collection of miserable people

This is bound to be an unpopular opinion here but I hate vim.

Shortcuts in vim make no sense whatsoever. They’re not the fastest possible shortcuts nor are they intuitive.

Sure it’s got useful features if you let the awful design brow beat you into memorising an absurd number of shortcuts that lack any form of logic.

You could have a cheat sheet on another monitor but at that point why not have an editor that has a gui.

Cypher ,

There’s also a bit more at play with the bus rule.

Take a seat in an empty row first

Not in front of someone that looks sketchy

Not immediately behind someone particularly
attractive unless other rows are full (can be creepy)

If you must share a row don’t sit next to the meth head OR the young girl.

Don’t sit towards the rear when there’s a group of troublemakers on the rearmost seats.

Do sit near exits but preferably one row behind others so you’re not the first person noticed by someone sketchy

There’s more but a lot of optimisation, particularly lo safety and social comfort, goes into selecting the best seating and neurotypical people do it completely subconsciously.
