if I were in a room with Hitler and Lunduke etc

people who add AI features to shit like this are always the dumbest fucking people alive

you’re not some big tech company actually developing an AI assistant for your browser or OS it’s just a fake feature every time lol

if they’re already trying to pass off AI imagery as proof their project is robust, they will do the same with copypasted AI features every time

inhaled very deeply about to talk about activitypub and techrights idealism then noticed this is star trek dot website

I don’t trust any of these apps that are used by the DEA and trying to get a phone number out of me one bit

considering a lot of the slop people really want to watch is focused on hi def production and special effects I don’t even understand how it still exists

😮‍💨🌫️🌫️😶‍🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️🥵🌫️

If you’re doing leg days so much that you’re concerned about having an ass that is really just too big then honestly good for you

As a big ball haver yeah you gotta watch out doing pretty much everything I’m assuming you are wearing something to keep them from going all over the damn place

Besides, it was a joke. Baidu and Billibilli have completely different content. It’s like replacing candy with a tomato in a child’s meal. Of course you’re going to get mad at me.

Odysee in this analogy would be like replacing candy with shitty off brand candy.

Odysee is not a foreign thriving streaming service it’s a venture capital funded mess that’s never going to do well compared to YT, same with Bitchute and others.

You’re going to want https://invidious.privacy.dev/ for an easy way to get your fix. Or Youtube DL.

I just don’t really use youtube for much of anything unless I randomly look stuff up. Odysee is certainly not going to provide me with tutorials or music albums!

Peertube is also not a replacement and more a way for people to self-host their channels free of censorship and then federate (like here on Lemmy) but it’s going to be much bigger than Odysee or Bitchute because it’s an open source software platform, not a shitty youtube knockoff.

What does privacy even mean to you? Google is literally a US military contractor. Who do you think stands a chance of prosecuting you? This is flat out racist and uninformed. You haven’t provided any evidence other than it being Chinese.

try baidu

That just shows how much air defense they have working contrary to Russian disinformatziya

Discord broadcasts everything including direct messages to the world (in such an invasive and incompetent fashion that somehow completely random people have been able to hack into your shit with tools they can get off the internet at various points and probably still can) and makes you jump through hoops and dead links to access it

Plus they’ll try to ransom your account and demand a phone number (not a secure method of communication btw) to deanonymize you if you sign up with an email alone

Economics departments are not real bro

Most economics degrees expose people to the toxic neoliberalism I’m joking about in the intial reply though. It’s been weaponized against the third world to horrible effect.

Dude you are not going to get better results by looking at further cherry-picked statistics from first world countries. The standard of living in the first world is collapsing because of finance capital and economics as a science there exists to cope about it.

I’ve studied economics as a discipline too much not to acknowledge its institutional biases. The statement “economics isn’t real bro” is a joke, but it’s a joke about how bad the state of the academy is in promoting neoliberal economics.

If that weren’t true it wouldn’t be powerful enough to turn Argentina into a fourth world nation. Milei is a product of these academic institutions.

If you actually went to or taught at a university that eludes these biases like the Braudel fans at Binghampton, you wouldn’t be scolding me for making a joke about how stupid most economics degrees render people.

If you follow the flowchart and dive into most economics departments you will encounter what I’m talking about.

What are you talking about Keynesian liberals or something? I do like to read Adam Tooze to see him close in on an interesting point only to veer wildly. Foreign Policy in general has some interesting writers if you want to mine the most advanced liberal cope.

The model of economics I’m describing is the one which has been most heavily promoted by the west, neoliberalism, it has been used to dissolve the social welfare state which was set up to compete with the socialist bloc since defeating its chief rival and counterbalance in the USSR. It’s an ideological persuasion that works along with coercion and subterfuge to eliminate capital controls and suppress the masses with starvation and crackdowns, especially in peripheral countries which are starting to establish socialistic policies or nationalize natural resources. Look at Chile for a perfect example of liberal economics in practice.

I am aware of plenty of different non-Marxist models of economics and none of them are great because they treat various sectors of production wrong. China and Vietnam have their shit all figured out that’s why finance capital and food aid can’t decimate their agricultural production and then extort them into unfavorable IMF deals.

My mindset is when you get a physical movement or very large messaging campaign or online organization going that’s inevitably the point you will encounter law enforcement in some form. So this tracks. Probably a lot of people on the old man yells at cloud list no offense. Ideally everyone in the entire country could pen a furious letter daily.

I’m kind of joking, if you want legit economics check out Mike Hudson and other MMT authors or preferably become a communist. Mainstream economists live to justify rent seeking by the ruling class. They don’t distinguish between production and rents and debts etc

See this is what I want to get a read on, because they’re also having cops visit people over inane comments. Are you using name and return address lmao?
