We need no enemies with allies like that

The Swedish prime minister kept repeating the word “övning” (“exercise”, as in training) in interviews yesterday.

But is ok. It is called diplomacy. Everybody knows exactly what all of this is and why.

It is difficult and fucking weird that we have to deploy troops to defend our allies from our other supposed allies.

What sizes are they in?

If you have control of the national uplinks to the rest of the world, it’s quite the simple affair to turn off traffic for ISPs. If you are a telecom provider and you are visited by military with authority to shoot you on the spot, you are quite inclined to obey and shut down the network as it will happen regardless you are alive or not.

Whatever wired local city networks may still function or not, depending on circumstances and the phase of the moon. Likely they will not be able to communicate with anybody else though.

Then there is nothing much to do for any opposition but to use covert satellite communications and those are much too important and slow and expensive for sharing with memes and porn.

Lite mer seriösa sidor har en liten presentation av recensenten, det har slopparna inte kommit på än, så det är första uppenbara tecknet. Sedan är det något med strukturen på texten och att alla bilderna är officiella produktfoton som är nästa uppenbara avslöjande när jag bara scrollar utan att läsa. Slutligen om det bara är generiskt positivt ordbajs och pushar affiliate-länkar så är det sista utposten.

Hur som helst uppmuntrar jag alla andra att också anmäla dem som AI slop i DDG så att den lär sig att filtrera bort vartefter.

Jag försöker ta som vana när jag söker recensioner på produkter att uppmärksamma om det finns en skribent presenterad eller inte och om det är uppenbart AI så anmäler jag sidan på duckduckgo.

Your grandparents nude and getting at it might do the trick.

Visualize this. Where did your mum and dad originate?

Psst. Nearly every human child and adult are the result of a hot stonking genitalia involving mess.

I agree that moderators need to keep American politics out of unrelated communities, seeing how it takes over all of Reddit if allowed. There are plenty of appropriate places on the Fediverse for trump talk, no need for anyone to whine about censorship.

Fuck it, I’m going to order me a Hawaii today. I don’t think I’ve had one for twenty odd years.

Ask her which christian god she identifies with and ask her if she’d apologize to the other christian gods for picking the wrong one. Then she can move on to the other abrahamic religions with related but different gods that are apparently worth killing each other over. Then it is time to do a polite check in with the other non-abrahamic world religion gods and pay her respects because I mean what if. And after that it is worth mentioning that the abandoned religions that were the precursors to all variants of christianity might actually be the right one, unless she is prepared to admit that the current one she believes in might also be wrong because it is actually a future evolution that finally got it right…

Of course this is just a smug elaboration to point out the absurdity of the situation.

Personally I’d probably just quietly drop them from my social circle.

Flashbacks of flipping around a 5¼" floppy disks that were actually floppy and manually spinning the cassette tape wheels while something is loading.

This is my dog. He is sitting on the bed looking out through the window.

I’m saying that they marketed themselves as a new exciting Swedish tech disruptor while doing funding rounds here in Sweden. Then swiftly left anything Sweden behind and avoiding taxes doing it.

It does seem Swedish press and even tech press still think they are Swedish though.

Here in Sweden they started with fishing for funding and making press about being a Swedish company. It worked and they got hype. Then they moved to some UK tax haven and now they are apparently based on London.

I’m not very supportive of Nothing.

A long time ago someone was arguing that you only do what you do if it brings in the money to support yourself. I told her that most artists regardless of their career can not support themselves solely on making art. She maintained her position.

I know she’s had a very successful career and she loves what she is doing. I wish everybody could support themselves on what they love doing. Or find something to support themselves that they love doing.

No, but you are attempting to critique it as if it was.

Being transgender is not an ideology, dude.

Ask mum if she’d prefer to drown or survive but you drown while saving her.
