It’s crazy to me to see so many people recommending these. I remember thinking ed2k was old when Kazaa and Morpheus came out.

I was looking at this page and it brought so much nostalgia. The days of viruses, “proggys” in Yahoo chat (I missed the AOL train), being a young teenage script kiddy on the Internet… That was the best time of the Internet for me. You could do and say anything and never felt like there was a panopticon watching you to slip up at any time.

Obviously anecdotes

That’s the understatement of the cenozoic era.

That’s my point. Neither is Putin. Netanyahu’s approval ratings are rock bottom.

It’s the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.

Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.

Pitchforks at the ready everyone.

Funny how everyone picked up on and quotes the single instance news story. Like litter boxes in school bathrooms, left-leaning edition. Let the hate flow through you

It may be a conversation worth having in a 1 to 1, but internet denizens crave hate and hate as much as they can when they can.

Usually I get downvoted for “let’s come together” comments that say things like all Israelis and Russians shouldn’t die in a fire, because they are not all bad, when people are calling for culling them. The internet is weird.

She used her car wreck claim from the year prior as a way to get disability payments. It’s right there in the short article.

Car wreck in 2017. Tree throwing contest in 2018.

The court had previously been told that the married mother-of-two, from Ennis in Co Clare, had spoken to doctors days after winning the Christmas tree-throwing contest.

She had claimed that she could no longer lift a heavy bag without suffering a shooting pain. Grabska quit her job and received disability payments, the court heard.

Thank you for that tip! I’ll scratch out my Tesla battery idea, this seems much cheaper than that, and much easier ignition than my nanothermite FireSuit™ idea. Much easier to obtain raw components from AliExpress as well.

Also various source confirmed that he is no more.

Thank all the Gods. I can’t imagine self-immolating for a cause, only to be extinguished.

I don’t need to read someone’s both-sides (or single-sided anger baiting) comment history to see the propa glow (or the drunken red chubby cheeks of useful idiocy).

Edit: but now that I have, it’s random American pop culture with vile hatefilth every few posts. I always should give the usual idiots the benefit of the doubt, because it turns out it was you that was posting “traitorous Republican filth” all over which prompted my original comment. How nice.

Republican traitor filth - 1 result, on a site that looks like it belongs shelved away in an astroturf network. I’ll check that search result again in a week.

Edit:

Russia saves the day, for once! Thanks Yandex. Astroturfing campaign confirmed.

90% of Republicans are “Republican” in the same way that 90% of people who celebrate Christmas are Christian.

There was a minority (as far as total number of Republicans) of extremists at the capital as there are extremists in every group. But it’s funny that every one of those people seemed to be consuming and sharing Russian propaganda on social media. And Fox/Tucker Carlson and other complicit news agencies with the buildup.

It’s laughable the older I get seeing how many useful idiots there are. Including comrade cabron up there ^ either working for them, or chasing their carrot.

I say we execute all extremists in Minecraft. Problem solved for at least one generation.

I kid, violence against extremists creates even bigger violence. But soon the internet will be sectioned off by country or countries. Russia, China, Iran and many other middle eastern countries are already doing it. And everyone will be happier… for a while.

Or something comrade, or something.

Where can you see the upvotes/downvote userlist of a comment on Lemmy? This comment has 21 upvotes as I write this.

Did you just comment basically the same thing in another thread? “republican traitor filfth”? or is that some new talking point when it comes to Russia? To automatically make anyone think everyone who votes Republican is a horrible traitor (I’m not, many fine people around me are)?

Oh man I miss the calm of non US-election-season internet. No astroturfing.

So this is me coming up with the perfect comeback 3 weeks later in the shower, and Still going along with saying it.

Once they do? Stuxnet was what, 2010? And because of the coding error that caused it to spread outside the enrichment plant it was found out and only set them back something like 2 years.

From AP:

Iran, after the collapse of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, has pursued nuclear enrichment just below weapons-grade levels. Tehran has accumulated enough enriched uranium to build several weapons if it chooses. However, U.S. intelligence agencies and others assess that Iran has yet to begin a weapons program.

Iran is “presenting a face which is not entirely transparent when it comes to its nuclear activities. Of course this increases dangers,” Grossi said. “There’s loose talk about nuclear weapons more and more, including in Iran recently.

Since 2022, Iranian officials have spoken openly about something long denied by Tehran as it enriches uranium at its closest-ever levels to weapons-grade material: the Islamic Republic is ready to build an atomic weapon at will. That includes Kamal Kharrazi, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who told Al Jazeera that Tehran has the ability to build nuclear weapons but does not intend to do so.

80% chance of landing leaves 20% chance of failure. That’s a big number. They probably didn’t want to advertise a big failure so they waited until the success. Possibly a NASA condition since they put $180MM on it.

I downloaded the original archive as a zip file, let me know if anyone wants it to create a torrent.

Let’s say that’s true and only a few USSR era nukes are maybe working, there’s no refinery happening, and China and North Korea are only willing to give them 3 nukes each for a total of 8 ICMBs (surprise, 2 were newly refined and functioning perfectly). Now they have 8 ICBMs with nuclear payloads and the backing of China, Iran, and North Korean nuclear satellite capabilities.

Which major city or strategic military post would you prefer they hit with the one that gets past defenses?

Which one does it take to start WWIII?
