@alyx Just drink the juice, it's as simple as that.

I'm laughing my ass off reading the thread of various degrees of socialists and nationalists trying to justify why their ideology is the best to fight the juice threat.

The funniest bit is when they go "you need to be an ideologue slave or else you're useless in the fight against muh juice". You know why it's funny? Because religiously following an ideology, no matter the ideology or how well you think it's conceived, is pointless and stupid. Humanity is a diverse pile of morons (and I don't mean skin color diversity). There is no single ideology that will work for everyone. Ever.

You're better off being a moderate fence sitter that can adapt, cooperate and accept policies from multiple political frameworks depending on current needs and context, than being an unmovable stone locked in your little "perfect" ideological circle.

Have a few key principles you care about, like certain freedoms and the well being of people, then be able to adjust the policies you put in place to best satisfy them continuously as the national and international contexts change.

@alyx@gameliberty.club they trick you into paying them a handsome amount of money, they trick you into installing 3rd party software. When you find it and try to cancel subscription, they charge you even more for it

It's hard for me to think of something more evil than murder or spying, which is what the tools are used for.

Facebook, Google, et al. fall into that as well, cause I'm pretty sure they take plenty govt funds.

The tools themselves aren't evil IMO, but I don't think think the distinction matters much here.
@alyx

man it's a hard choice between NSA shit and military shit
@alyx I was going to say Windows after I read the first line lol

Hmm I guess it could be the Microsoft office suite, but maybe thats cheating since it is Windows kinda.

Personally I despise whatsapp because I am forced to use it at work and in normal life in order to get things done.

Discord could also be it, they refuse to allow people to hide blocked messages, and they give excuses like "the way discord is built doesnt allow for that" which is complete bullshit, so for some reason they have a secret agenda to force people to be annoyed constantly by those they have blocked, and then you realize the word "discord" means disharmony, conflict. Something to think about.

Which is the worst, most corrupt, most despicable, most [insert bad thing here] piece of proprietary software you can think of? Let's exclude operating systems, cause it would be too easy for everyone to just say Windows.

The problem in allying with socialists is that they have lefty instincts, and one of those instincts makes them expert entryists. They infiltrate, subvert, and destroy anything that sits to the right of themselves. They often wind up pulling the trigger against their allies before victory against a common enemy can be achieved.

Did you know that most Romanian children will study economics in highschool?
I thought I'd mention that because I absolutely love when 'muricans tell me I don't understand economic theory.

I've been humming a song in my head for a few minutes now, and I couldn't really figure out what it was, until it hit me: it was the end credits song from HL:Alyx.

Who here knows what a quince is or has eaten one?

They're one of my favorite fruit, but recently I realized I've never learned their English name, because I've never seen them being portrayed or talked about in any kind of media, movie, shows etc.

So now I'm curious, if it's really that rare in other places.
