I saw bats. Like that guy from bat country. Hunter Gatherer.

“You keep your wives in cupboard.”

“It’s not a cupboard!”

I’m convinced the whole “your computer will instantly turn into a botnet that cripples children’s hospitals the moment you disable Windows Update” thing is part of Microsoft’s internet propaganda.

Like there are sysadmins for pretty big industries that schedule updates, sometimes once a month or even less frequently. Why aren’t they worried about all the 0-day remote code execution exploits that supposedly exist every single day?

Why doesn’t China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner, pressure them to be less authoritarian?

They’re definitely among the worst.

I’m really tired of people saying “both sides are the same” when it comes to western capitalist exploitation vs eastern totalitarian authoritarianism.

It’s ironically so privileged to even make the comparison because if it were the same, you wouldn’t have been allowed to make this comment.

BBC is a pretty reputable source.

“suggesting that NATO expansion was one of the causes of the war”

“We gave Putin just cause,”

Those are definitely Russian propaganda talking points.

This is how they get us. Infiltrate the groups that we already agree with, like pro-Palestine, anti-Israel, then flood those communities with “…and also we should all hate NATO!”, and people like this guy can’t tell the difference.
