  • I prefer cooking meals over food delivery and I don’t think it’s fair to scoff at those who do the latter. Time constraints and exhaustion-from-a-9-to-5 and all that.

    I decided to work on a cookbook not too long ago that specifically attempts to address this, one which is focused on spending as MINIMAL time on cooking as possible whilst being somewhat “affordable” and “easy to remember”, if that makes sense…

    It’s regrettable to say the least when this happens, arguably one of their biggest (if not THE biggest) blindspot… Doesn’t help their case that they’re the biggest exporter to the Euroanglo-Zionazi settler-colony…

    The “critical” in critical support stays critical for a reason.



  • Developing countries, especially China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the US and EU relied more than before on planet-warming fossil fuels for electricity generation.

    China remains way ahead in clean energy growth […]

    India experienced slower electricity demand growth and also added significant new solar and wind capacity, meaning it too cut back on coal and gas.

    In contrast, developed nations like the US, and also the EU, saw the opposite trend.

    I’ve not read a single BBC rag article for a while now, are they usually this sloppy nowadays with how they portray the West in the best light LOL… Looks like they gave up trying mid-way. Very poetic.


  • Landback is part of the fine variety of solutions that can be effectuated. Also, is there any doubt that the US, Australia and New Zealand are settler-colonies that it prompts enclosing with quotation marks? Could you expand on that?

    And sure, yeah human rights violations happening in one place or the other is “all bad”, then pray tell, why is it that the manufactured outrage is reserved specifically for WANA countries, but not for the imperial West that don’t exactly have a great track record on human rights, even worse than WANA combined?


  • I find it funny when Westerners suddenly pretend to care about human rights when bougies visit a Western client state but crickets will chirp when they visit literal settler-colonies like the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or when they visit countries that continue to have colonies today like Denmark, France, the U.K., or when they visit countries that gave birth or provided/continue to provide human capital to the Euroanglo-Zionazi Entity like… basically the entirety of the Global North.



  • Great vid, but did the reviewer really have to rub the “European” aspect of it throughout? smh…

    Anyways, she mentions that there’s the option of using Aurora Store + F-Droid, I wonder if govt. apps that are basically required for day-to-day services (e.g. Absher, Sehaty) would work with or without microG… I might try and find out for science, once I have the means to do so :).

    Otherwise, compartmentalizing by having two phones, one Android for the govt apps and one Linux, would basically be meta until something changes.




  • Personally, I would’ve preferred you responded with xenophobic slurs targeted at Arabs like me than with whatever LLM answer this is supposed to be, but you do you I guess. I would’ve almost taken you seriously… almost.

    So here, let me throw a random ass quote at you:

    And so, indeed, is the Orientalist attitude in general [referring to a quote by shitlib Isaiah Berlin]. It shares with magic and with mythology the self-containing, self-reinforcing character of a closed system, in which objects are what they are because they are what they are, for once, for all time, for ontological reasons that no empirical material can either dislodge or alter. The European encounter with the Orient, and specifically with Islam, strengthened this system of representing the Orient and, as has been suggested by Henri Pirenne, turned Islam into the very epitome of an outsider against which the whole of European civilization from the Middle Ages on was founded. The decline of the Roman Empire as a result of the barbarian invasions had the paradoxical effect of incorporating barbarian ways into Roman and Mediterranean culture, Romania; whereas, Pirenne argues, the consequence of the Islamic invasions beginning in the seventh century was to move the center of European culture away from the Mediterranean, which was then an Arab province, and towards the North.


  • It’s not hard to see why the post was deleted on the other comm, the mods there take editorializing very seriously, you especially crossed that line with the FUD headline and post.

    The updated rootkit will be uploaded and installed to your computer kernel automatically upon closure of the deal.

    This isn’t in defense of EA, and I’m aware of their anti-cheats and many like it having kernel-level access, but how do you know this? Where is this coming from? How will it be magically installed once the deal is closed? When will it be installed? Who’s to say it hasn’t been “installed” already, years long before any of this deal thing came up? Would you have come up with that conclusion if Saudi Arabia’s PIF wasn’t part of the deal/mentioned in the article? Does this apply to every single EA game from their catalogue (IIRC some games aren’t locked-in to the Origin client)?

    If these questions are difficult to answer, then there’s your problem.
