The Taiwan embassy (officially not an “embassy”) in the Hague is in just some random neighbourhood. I literally walked past it cause I didn’t even realise I was there.

They got many many remains and prisoners back.

Also, they are using this current opportunity to purge collaborator gangs.

This situation also allows for temporary alleviation of acute famine conditions.

My pp hurts. My lips hurt. My eyes hurt. My sphincter hurts. My nose hurts. But the “Chinese style fast food chilli noodles” recipe was worth it.

the British government have now announced when they’re going to start checking people’s bank account

This kinda shit is why we hate rightists .

Beef is resource intensive. Better to have poor countries waste their cheaper resources than to pay for domestic resources.

This joke was funny for 10 seconds before I turned it into a physics lecture …

I’m going to make this into a proper meme when I have time.

Also, for those who don’t understand:

The photoelectric effect is historically what inspired quantum mechanics. Light is made up of indivisible “quanta”. Each quanta (called photons) has an energy proportional to the frequency of the light.

When photons hit an object, they can remove electrons from that object only if they individually have enough energy. Either the photons each have enough energy and cause ionisation, or they don’t and pass through (or get absorbed as heat)

It doesn’t matter how many of the photons you have, you can’t ionise substances (unless you have so many photons that you vapourise it by heat).

This is unintuitive and doesn’t make sense in classical physics where light was thought to be a wave with energy that could “build up” in substances.

The photoelectric effect basically proved the quantisation of matter, and won Einstein his Nobel prize (yes, this is what got him his prize).

Youngins be like: dae evil WiFi and microwave radiation is giving you cancer!

Meanwhile the photoelectric effect: help me UV light! This is elemental zinc we’re up against!

Don’t you know? Americans can’t be racist and stupid!

Not to worry. A 19th sanctions package is on the way

It’s fall season! Time for me to have my yearly delibetating coughing fits!

On a more positive note, imma try out ALL the dancing courses we got and spend the whole week moving my hips.

On a more (ew) note, dancing is really bringing out all the wierd latent homophobia shit from my friend who I did not expect to have any such brainworms. What the hell do you mean “modern dancing is gay so I won’t do it”?

I’m deluzianian all up in here.

It’s tangential. Dialectical thinking emphasises the connection between all things and looks at holistic systems, so cleaving away “politics” from everything is impossible, just as cleaving away science is impossible or cleaving away art or cleaving away history are.

Not to be an LLM shill, but perhaps the reason we are not seeing a massive increase in apps being released and new domain names is due to economic factors stunting the potential AI. It’s just a confounding factor I can think of.

If the author wants to steelman their argument, they could look into the total number of developers before AI and after AI. They could compare working hours (not officially recorded working hours, but actual “I am working on making code” hours).

There are other economic factors also. Large corporations will control the majority of developer working hours. And large corporations won’t be making shovelware. Meanwhile people who are not so beholden to factors of economics aren’t necessarily going to build public shovelware. They might just be building scripts for personal use.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

From the 2nd paragraph of the Communist manifesto from fucking 1848. Liberals never change.

OP should just find a better audio player or figure out how to enable loudness normalization.

Yeah I figured it was an issue with my software.

The “genocide Joe memers” forcing the Democrats to be unrepentant capitalist mass murders who hate their own voter base:

The west is literally commiting a genocide. They are mass disappearing people into the afterlife. Mind boggling that in 2025 we still have incredulous libs who believe in western exceptionalism.

Are you going to lay track on every street?

Not necessary. You can walk a few hundred meters to your end destination. It’s actually good for your health.

Not to mention, laying tons of tracks on streets for a light rail network is a thing that’s been around since before personalised cars.

I mean ok, but like that is just true. Broken clocks and all.

The actual problem is that the neolibs don’t have an independent way of verifying casualties but believe in what trump is telling them anyways because “muh Russian human wave tactics” (there were articles all the way back in like early 2024 fearmongering about how the Russians are supposedly learning better tactics and will become way harder to beat) and “muh CIA supersoldier operatives” (this one is just funny. The sheer glaze and dickriding that would put any bukkake ever filmed to shame*)
