I said was.

It really is not appealing a mac air with 16gb RAM was $999 AUD and the NEO is $899 AUD. It’s a step backwards…

awwe did you favorite multi-billion dollar company get sued for platforming IP theft? You are so justifiably butthurt and you are a reasonable, thoughtful person worth engaging.

Good people can get guns but it takes effort and people who bother aren’t the social media butterfly type. The bondi shooting guns were legally obtained by one of the terrorist the laws have already been adjusted and are under continuous review. Basically everyone who owns cattle or other livestock has a gun for taking care of snakes and putting down injured animals. For suburban guns you can google your local gun club then go join if you jump through the hoops you can then start shooting and then work your way up to ownership. Most people that are in gun clubs are actually cops, military or in some other way work around weapons because the average person doesn’t care about owning or shooting guns. It’s really a general matter of the people with the temperament to own a gun in australia are also people with the temperament that doesn’t make social media posts about it.

So I should just take your terminally online ass as factual instead of using my own observations and personal relationships to make my own judgement?

To answer your questions:

Is that not online enough for ya?

Nope still too online.

Have I touched enough grass to be considered a legitimate data point for your bullshit scorecard?

Nope you can’t talk your way into this you are still on the outside.

Or are we still huffing selection bias fumes and dancing to the Dunning-Kruger Memorial waltz?

Selection bias fumes are you freaking kidding me? All I did was assume it was an online poll correct me if I am wrong. In the meantime: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2378023118791080 https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2020/02/18/assessing-the-risks-to-online-polls-from-bogus-respondents/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-access_poll

Jesus christ dude I’m just going to ignore that you brought up the dunning-kruger effect otherwise this is just going to be a verbal bashing.

This terminally online room? I should use it to gauge the legitimacy of the poll which I criticize for being irrelevant because it was entirely online? I only guessed buddy do you mean to tell me the poll was actually taken in the real world?!

As a Russian, I recognize the pattern. It is much easier to point out contradictions in others than to address the fact that our “superpower” status has devolved into being a global nuisance with an incompetent military.

You’re right—it is a strange position to be in: a gas station that can’t win its own war, yet insists on being a global player. We use the “What about America” script specifically so we don’t have to face how hollowed-out our war machine has actually become. It’s the essence of vranyo—we both know the “Great Power” image is a fiction, but we keep talking about the US to avoid the embarrassment of our own reality. I see you’ve adopted that tradition perfectly.

Stop hiding behind the US. It’s a pathetic shield for a country that’s currently a global laughingstock. Whether the US has problems doesn’t change the fact that Russia is a hollowed-out gas station with a museum-grade military. The ‘World’s Second Army’ is currently begging North Korea for ammo and losing its Black Sea Fleet to a nation without a navy. That’s the reality of Russia: an incompetent, corrupt mess that provides zero value to the world.

Yep sadge for them. Doesn’t change what russia is tho.

The US being a ‘threat’ is a separate conversation for people who care. The conversation here is that Russia is a global parasite. Their only exports are corruption, destabilization, and dashcam footage of their own tanks exploding. Even if they weren’t an incompetent mess—which they are—they’d still be a negative force that adds zero value to the modern world. They aren’t a ‘Great Power’; they’re a gas station with a failing army and an identity crisis.

Putin’s goals are irrelevant because the entire Russian state is paralyzed by vranyo. From the generals faking reports to the shills faking ‘victories’ online, you’ve lied to yourselves so much that you’ve accidentally built a military that only works on paper. It’s not a war machine; it’s a theater troupe that’s currently being exposed as incompetent on a global stage.

–gonna be using AI to respond to russian shills from hereon

After they are legally mandated to use it because selling spoiled meat is profitable.

Gonna go ahead guess this is an online poll for the terminally online and not an actual indicator of the real world.

Arguably the extreme weather could have altered his mind and he made irrational decisions because of hypoxia. But you take responsibility of the actions you take after you chose to drink alcohol, so I presume atleast to some extent for known and consistent conditions that should have been accounted for you take responsibility for the potential altered mind state.

Probably don’t treat social media as a last front for free speech and let it be curated and safe for children.

Observe the use of the term radical in the US after the civil rights movement. It’s really not as easy as your personal opinion there is more going to this.

E: And if it’s progressive to be more left than right in america, I think it tracks that radical is more left than left in america.

You ignored my points you just want to be agreed with you never engaged my points which actually contradicted you. Your point is that progressives in america aren’t progressives because progressives in other countries are more progressive? But they are still progressive, you are still progressive. But because I don’t immediate agree with you, you say I am ignoring your points, I would say that you aren’t progressive at all. Because that isn’t how discussion works, that’s hmmm. Maybe there is a name for “agree with me or else” ??

You have this negative association with the word that is entirely adopted from the right. The civil rights movement was radical, dude.

That’s radical dude. That’s rad.

Radical has always been progressive in america. Right out of the civil rights movement co-opted by hippies.

If you are backing down to the nazis and letting them change the meaning of words I am going to call you a weak dog.
