Come on! Don’t insult pigs. They are lovely tasty animals.

Should be the other way around. It’s the kings who want war. Not the soldiers.

I was thinking more about the weapon suppliers maximising profits at the expense of human lives.

There’s a case to be made for defensive wars as well.

Eventually it will when enough people die.

So you’ve never heard of the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, known informally as the Hague Invasion Act enacted in 2002. Which protects American war criminals by invading the Hague if necessary.

Hardly. US has been meddling in our elections for a long time. The meddling just hasn’t been as direct or as kinetic as in your cases.

It is a question of authorship. What I don’t approve of is zero effort AI slop. But the use of CGI in movies is OK because it serves the vision of the director. The usage of samples in music is OK if the use is transformative. Autotuning is pushing it but can be OK if use is limited or transformative. Even AI tools can be OK if authorship remains human. But an end-to-end pipeline of endless soulless AI generated slop is not OK. So it is very a question of degrees. AI generated/authored works should be labelled as such. Also the label should contain the degree to which AI was used. Not simply an either/or tag.

So you’re happy that you are being sold a lie?

Thanks for this. I also learned more of the context of the conflict.

Effectively Ukraine is doing more to lessen the production of petrol than any other country.

Also the Louvre. And many other mainly European museums.

How about none?

This. The US seems incapable of understanding that others don’t see the US as the greatest, bestest country ever. And that there’s no way in hell that they want to be a part of that clusterflop.

This is what I was referencing in my post.

Thanks America for exporting your hate!

Too bad the US is not a signatory to great many of those treaties.

Another baby saved from the glorious baby killing machine.

Yasser Arafat too?
