Maybe if these arrogant techcunts tried to use it for the benefit of everybody instead of using it to spread lies and propaganda, and to enrich themselves by stealing other people’s work, I’d give them a second chance. I’m not holding my breath.
Talks like shit
Looks like shit

Athletes from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to compete as neutral athletes in qualification events for next year’s Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina following a vote by the sport’s governing body on Tuesday.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation’s (FIS) decision means that, unless a late change occurs, Russian and Belarusian skiers and snowboarders will not take part in the Games, which begin on 6 February.
In September, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it would allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete at the Winter Games under a neutral flag and strict conditions, as they did at the Paris Olympics, but the final decision would rest with individual sports federations.

The IOC said in a statement it was also cutting off all discussions about any potential Olympic Games bid by Indonesia until the government provided assurances that all athletes, irrespective of nationality, would be eligible to compete there in future.
And yet the IOC bans Russian athletes

And yet, the IOC bans Russian athletes
I hope the next person in line to run the company is more tech-oriented
I wouldn’t be too optimistic about that.
Why do you think that is? Has someone told them to back off? Who?
And because the media are amplifying it.

Mom, I said it again
Awww, you’ve been reading newspapers again.
How will he ever survive?
Nice shot. I love Chinese temples, so much atmosphere. Where is this one?
Foreign interests recognize the obvious weakness in our social fabric, and they have been taking advantage of it to great success.
First step is to learn to stop blaming other countries for America’s failure.
INCREDIBLY conservative
Is this American for “full of shit”?
I don’t hate all Americans, I’ve met some really cool ones over the years. But I do hate its fake democracy, its vulgar, parasitic oligarchs, its deceitful propaganda networks and the lust for war and global domination that drenches all three.
I can’t remember where I copied this from originally but it seems pertinent here
Americans are, of course, the most thoroughly and passively indoctrinated people on earth. they know next to nothing as a rule about their own history, or the histories of other nations, or the histories of the various social movements that have risen and fallen in the past, and they certainly know nothing of the complexities and contradictions comprised within words like ‘socialism’ and ‘capitalism.’
Chiefly, what they have been trained not to know or even suspect is that, in many ways, they enjoy far fewer freedoms, and suffer under a more intrusive centralized state, than do the citizens of countries with more vigorous social-democratic institutions.
This is is at once the most comic and most tragic aspect of the excitable alarm that talk of social democracy or democratic socialism can elicit on these shores.
An enormous number of Americans have been persuaded to believe that they are freer in the abstract than, say, Germans or Danes precisely because they possess far fewer freedoms in the concrete.
They are far more vulnerable to medical and financial crisis, far more likely to receive inadequate health coverage, far more prone too irreparable insolvency, far more unprotected against predatory creditors, far more subject to income inequality, and so forth, while effectively paying more in tax (when one figures in federal, state, local and sales taxes, and then compounds those by all the expenditures that in this country, as almost nowhere else, their taxes do not cover).
One might think that a people who once rebelled against the mightiest empire on earth on the principle of no taxation without representation would not meekly accept taxation without adequate government services.
But we accept what we have become used to, I suppose. Even so, one has to ask, what state apparatus in the “free” world could be more powerful and tyrannical than the one that taxes its citizens while providing no substantial civic benefits in return, solely in order to enrich a piratically overinflated military-industrial complex and to ease the tax burdens of the immensely wealthy.
China’s a nation that seems to believe that they can use their government to make things better.
Isn’t that what you pay taxes for?
But nowhere else on the planet invests as much money and effort into it as the US. $325 million a year on anti China propaganda alone:

You never saw that mentioned in the media did you? There is a reason for that:
It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris.
The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world.
I’m not one to defend American stupidity, life is too short, but it should be remembered that potatoes are vegetarian but chips, proper chips, are often cooked in beef dripping, which would make them non-vegetarian.
