No, but he does have a history of racism and supporting/promoting white supremacists.

He has a long history of incidents like, “Hey, why are you following those white supremacist accounts on Twitter and promoting their books?” or “Oops, I was wearing an iron cross just as a joke!” and “I paid a dude to yell, ‘I hate Jews!’ as a prank, bro.”

He did more than make fucked up jokes, though. He was pushing white supremacist accounts that he followed on social media at one point to his young and impressionable audience. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and he hasn’t done anything to rectify that situation one way or the other. Given the evidence we have, he could’ve simply started wearing his iron cross behind closed doors instead of on stream.

Having lived long enough to see the edgy teenagers making 4channer jokes grow up to and have those become their actual beliefs, I believe in Philosophical Inertia. You say something often enough, and it becomes what you truly believe. And until you prove otherwise, I am going to assume that your beliefs continue on that same course.

As an American, I can tell you it’s true, and we don’t realize it in large part because portion sizes in the US are crazy. A medium-sized beverage here would be a large in most other countries. Restaurants traditionally serve huge portions of food, supposedly originally so that no matter how big your appetite, everybody would get enough to eat and have leftovers to bring home. But now people just eat it all.

Add in all the sugar that’s in our food (thanks to a health propaganda campaign that convinced people fat was bad, most fat is replaced with sugar - especially high-fructose corn syrup), which is way more fattening than actual fat, and the lack of pedestrian access to most things, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for an obesity epidemic of people who eat too much, drink too many sugary drinks, and don’t exercise enough.

It’s part of the propaganda. Richest country in the world, they say, but you pay a lot more for basically everything because there’s few government regulations keeping prices in check, and a number of things that are done by the government in other countries are run by for profit corporations here (healthcare).

Although, $10.50 for the mail is pretty pricey. That’s no letter that they’re sending. I run an Etsy shop and frequently send stuff in padded envelopes through the post office, and those cost me like $4 to send across the country.

And guess which one gets paid more.

My favorite was how German spies in WW2 were easily caught because they’d just show up in beachside towns out of nowhere (right off the u-boat) in suits and carrying briefcases stuffed with cash.

I’m honestly surprised that cleaner and garbage collector are as high up there on the list as they are because those seem to be jobs that society generally looks down on.

At least the graphic has that going for it.

I don’t know about you, but this graphic inspires emotion in me. That emotion is anger at how little our society values art.

That said, be careful with that line of thinking. That’s exactly the sort of stuff people say about modern art.

God gave us grain but not bread so that we, too, could indulge in the joy of creation.

I want the hype bubble to burst because I want them to go back to making AI for useful stuff like cancer screening and stop trying to cram it into my fridge or figure out how to avoid paying their workers, and the hate bubble isn’t going to stop until that does.

This was my understanding as well - that miners often underclock their GPUs rather than overclock them.

One thing I forgot to mention is that there were tons of memes like this with Linux as the third as well (or other random stuff, of course), so this is kinda relevant on all fronts.

I’m not surprised, that picture is from 2009. It’s a play on an old Mac TV ad campaign and a long-standing stereotype in the furry fandom of fox fursonas being… very promiscuous.

I never thought I’d use this ever again…

Mutually assured destruction is still a thing. We may not be at Cold War levels of insanity, where between the US and Russia there were enough nukes to glass the planet like 150 times over, but plenty of nations have arsenals (especially in Europe), and the best way to make enemies of the entirety of the world would be to be the first one to launch a nuke. Dropping a nuke would signal to every leader in the world that no country is safe from becoming an irradiated wasteland.

I think if Putin dropped a nuke, his allies would drop him faster than it would take NATO to declare all out war with Russia.
