Ask this to the USA, to Canada or to the UK, not to me or Venezuela.

Nobody. In fact Venezuela gained independence from the colonizers in 1811. The Spanish and the German originally stole that land from the native populations. Venezuelans are neither Spanish or German.

I wonder what kind of logic is that where the wronged party has to "deal with it" and not the thieves.

If the goal is to avoid war of all against all, can't the US suck it up for once?

In fact often they do not call, as reported by sources on the ground. But even if they called always, tell me, would it be ok for you to receive a call ordering you to abandon your home and belongings within an hour, pending its destruction? Does that make it humane?

"I just follow my orders"

How is it different from setInterval in JS?

USA and UK performing/supporting ethnic cleansing, nothing new here. Still the story is truly heart breaking to read.

> he is

Was. He died years ago. Show some respect and at least learn that before going on finding evidence to support your claim that "his behavior is petty and entitled". You clearly don't know who you're talking about

We're talking about killing people in a country on the other side of the world.

If not omniscience at least clear evidence that there is no other course of action and that this is absolutely required (spoiler, it wasn't). Reacting irrationally is just what animals do.

If its impossible to say, then why intervene? If you can't prove that bombing will have net positive effects then why do it?

War or not, that doesn't justify you being a racist. Otherwise anyone could say that Ukrainians are all nostalgic of nazism.

Nice display of unwarranted racism on a completely unrelated thread.

It does render epubs and PDFs flawlessly indeed and the reading experience is great. I don't know what OP is talking about.

Bonus: reading black and white comics on a remarkable feels even better than on paper.

I mean, fuck Churchill and that quote, constantly abused to protect a horrible system by people who are too deep in it to even conceive an alternative.

Navalny is not a political prisoner.

Navalny is a corrupt racist, politically a Russian Guaidó. If he's all the opposition to be found in Russia, then there is no opposition.

Winning a debate doesnt make your argument truer. It just means your opponent was weaker than you at making his argument. Agree or not with that judge but he makes a good point about favouring the validity of an argument over the ability of the debater.

Smells like colored revolution.

This was downvoted but Is correct, relative amounts mean nothing.

With bacon you know what you get, so you can dose it and take your risks. Aspartame has been sold to us as the healthy alternative to sugar. People literally use aspartame as an excuse to chug liters of soda every day.

What about the mass of people who in order to drink liters of soda every day ingest large amounts of aspartame? Is it about "circumstances" or concentration?

Considering 1 patriot missile costs several millions, it would be pocket change.

What you're doing is a public service and society would benefit from it being freely accessibile to everyone. Sounds like you should be compensate by the state.

I'm interested in the potential uses of WebGPU for gaming. WebGL is a pretty limited API compared to what you have when using opengl, DirectX, etc. WebGPU should help fill that gap.

Most anti-piracy software is undistinguishable from malware. In addition to that I've never got malware in years of occasional pirate playing. I might as well pay to support the devs and still play the cracked version at this point.

What's the point of keeping track of debt if you can keep raising it indefinitely? Why not just forget about it and use the available resources as needed.

China is the one country that doesn't allow a concentration of the wealth in the top 1%.

Look at India, they don't come close to China if you compare how the standard of life improved for the masses.

If you didnt get it I am playing the idiot. It's the only way I can criticize the holy free market without being insta-flagged. If I openly joke on it I'm flagged for causing a flamewar. If I argue against it in honesty I get downvoted to hell. The only way left to speak about the free market as someone who doesn't believe in it is to play the idiot, so that I can prove the absurdity of the argument.

I don't know specifically, I was told that the free market is able to solve any problem when left alone.

Whenever there is a discussion about the lack of affordable housing I am told that what we need is less regulations so that the free market can take care of it. I wonder why it shouldn't be the same for environmental issues since the free market is so powerful.

> I worked for Olivetti in Milan and Ivrea the mid/late 80s.

Really interesting, you're the first I meet that has. Olivetti still has a stellar reputation in Italy, disliked by other enterpreneurs and (so they say) loved by his employees. What's sure is that the work conditions were really progressive and I think still unparalleled today, at least in Italy.

Do you have any anecdote or interesting fact to share about your time there?
