  • I don’t feel compelled to argue an interpretation. The facts are well documented and their interpretations by experts available. What anyone chooses to do with these are of no real concern to me.

    but then

    It’s weird how many people in this thread are vaguely debating the validity of the historical research into this question when one person has posted a link to a well cited article on this very very heavily studied subject.

    Well cited article aren’t proof of existenceof a man. Is spiderman real if enough people cite the comics? A group of influential people could gather and make their own circle of these myths and present it as a fact. And it isn’t fucking new.

    Religions and all their influence could force a lot of heavily studied subject to be skewed for their benefit. Hell, there were studies that were treated as standard making sugar and alcohol heavily beneficial for human beings. And we’re talking about a person.




  • Yeah, thousands of tabs seems extreme. But “you should dedicate a larger amount of time and effort all day, every day to make the computer’s job easier” is a bad take.

    Computers don’t magically make things easier, it just does as it is told(as instructed by code). Computers don’t come out as a self-made human assistant that adapts to your personal needs and can magically do anything you want.

    If it’s so much of a burden that smarter people haven’t figured it out, go at it. You might just fix it.

    But “to make computer’s job easier” is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while.









  • It’s downloading an app off of an app store and turning it on. Stop trying to force your narrow perspective onto everyone else.

    People who are subject to censorship, in time find a workaround. Downloading a VPN app with a big green button to turn it on is not rocket science.

    There are probably lots of VPN companies targetting “tiktok” as a keyword to advertise and increase their user base. So they come up first on appstores and search results.

    Now, go ahead and call people searching google is not average tiktok user.

    But where that data goes after you turn the VPN on, is a different topic on its own. Maybe China itself is running a whole lot of VPN networks from shell companies.





  • The world could care less if it is Trump or Biden. But your supposition that stopping one genocide supporter is rooting for another fascists is not the worlds fault, but your own. Democracy as you still would call it.

    Stop trying to claim to be the police of the world, while at the same time also sell weapons to the half of the world including despotic regimes and genocidal ones. A very good business model, but the world is seeing through it.

    We all know where your priorities lie, and it isn’t Human Rights.

    You must not be paying enough attention because your first point can be easily disproven by visiting any major news source and viewing the stories about the mass protests on college campuses all over the county right now.

    Yes, the protests got more news time than the actual ethnic cleansing. Tells a lot about the populace.

    It’s fine that genocides are happening over other countries with your blessings, But hur dur… we… we don’t want what we do to other countries happening to us. 😭

    It’s about time you face consequences of your actions.
