OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.

I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

Failure modes were not considered.

It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.

I heard this was actually by design. Nostrils should naturally alternate maximum blowage capacity.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

You can get an electrified sounding kit if that is what you are really after. But yeah, the regular crap just sounds boring, so I wouldn’t try it either.

Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.

It’s cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.

As far as my proof on link-boy is that his history kinda proves that he doesn’t research shit. His go-to method seems to be find-link-vomit-link. There is no fucking way he would have time to dig into that stuff based on volume alone. Is that “proof”? No. It’s a damn good assumption as I also could shit out a few dozen links after one Google search, too.

If he does “do his research” and happens to have a list of links at the ready, that is just weird or it’s someone with a motive other than showing how smart they are.

By definition, you are correct on some points, btw. Dissent is dissent. However, dissent with bad information is just poor form. Endlessly shitposting like OP does is hardly quality dissent: OP just pushes narratives with cartoons and it reads like a fucking state media source. You can find the same style of shit all over right-wing media sources as well: Repeat the same basic points ad-nauseum.

As far as link-boy is concerned, I suppose he can dissent all over the place as much as he wants as well. It’s doesn’t change his history of link-flooding.

Also, “despite increasingly popular opinion” is supposed to convince me of something based on the rumored opinions of what? Your own social bubble? Really?

How the fuck you wrapped your last sentence in is beyond me, but anywho…

Dissent is not spouting off Russian propaganda verbatim. You know, like quoting every single line vomited out by every Russian state media source. (OP)

Dissent is also not searching for every internet based opinion piece with a flashy headline that aligns with a specific view. I could find a hundred more that align with my views, as an example. (re: link-boy in this thread.)

We all should know that Russia invading Ukraine “because Nazis” is complete bullshit. If you didn’t notice Russian media and government officials repeating that justification is just that: repeating things enough so people begin to believe it. (That is easy with state controlled media, btw.)

What we have is a failed case of seeing the forest through the trees and what Russian Putin’s goals have obviously been for years now: Rebuilding the USSR. (Nevermind that Crimea was not ethnic Russian until the local population just disappeared, somehow.)

Dissent is actually showing, to the best of ones abilities, real cause for action. A person could actually read all of the source articles they post, compare figures and assemble something that might be worth something in an argument. This takes a fuck ton of work, actually. All sources need to be considered and not just select articles that are vomited out in these kinds of posts.

What link-boy is doing is just flooding threads with data, regardless of it is correct or not. It’s not proving any points and likely just posted to flash out headlines, which people notoriously take at face value.

Then we need to loop back to the “reputable sources” bit. Nearly anyone can submit articles to these places with little review because “content”. To properly use these articles, you have to dig. You need to understand the authors, the sources and the motivation. Again, link-boy is likely not doing this. If he is, it’s still shitty referencing.

Above all else, this conflict has proven that Russia is a paper tiger, mainly by showing their wonder-weapons are crap. This is not actually about the tech itself: It’s shown how Russian government has overstated just about everything about their capabilities. Not only did the world start to believe their own propaganda, Russians drank their own cool aid and thought they could just roll Ukraine in a couple of days, with or without western interference.

We don’t need shit-memes or walls of old links to show how Russia has manipulated the narrative over the last few years. All we need to do is watch how poorly they are performing on the battlefield against a country a tenth their size. We can watch Russian media and how they continue to posture and threaten with nukes. (That is a stupid play, and they know it.)

What’s even funnier, is that Lukashenko actually dumped out a couple weeks ago that Ukraine was already “denazified”. Oops. If that is actually “true”, why hasn’t this “special military operation” been called off? Why is Russia at a full wartime economy now for what is likely illegal to call a “war”?

Fucking grow up, is my point. You want to get all script-flippy about “sPeAkiG diSsEnT” when the people “dissenting” don’t know what the actual fuck they are posting with.

Mor links plz.

Edit: Geez. You really do like to find any link on the internets that justifies anything you want to believe, don’t ya?

It reminds me of the the Russian justification for invading Ukraine. I found the pamphlet, actually.

It wouldn’t be ml without a copy-pasta wall of links.

The trick is to bog other users down who actually source and back-reference all those articles so that it will freeze up a comment thread.

OP is weird. He is just vomiting out old propaganda that has been debunked a hundred times over.

Also, someone doesn’t know the history of Azov or the even the Vagner group.

It is partially the land sure, but don’t forget where the main natural gas reserves are in Ukraine. It’s not a coincidence that Russia has been specifically targeting Donbass for years now.

The entire function of Crimea is to help form a land bridge to grab those resources.

Edit: It’s obvious by the removed comments that Russian Nazis are in control of this sub. I have as much proof of that as that Kremlin shill does that we are replying to.
