China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.

And that is a direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

I hope you get paid for your effort though.

?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that? Chinese ships are attacking Philippines fishers too.

Life is “simpler” when you realize governments (and hence the State) are just bullies that exercise their power through physical violence or economical violence.

Same but mostly Jesus.

I was also right libertarian, although I have been called a fascist for that, , anyway I shifted from that slowly into anarchocristianism and I will stay here. I just don’t believe in government anymore only in communities and obviously in God but that’s another story.

I just want people to have their needs covered, to have strong sense of communities (love your neighbors) in non violent environments and I think human government is inherently violent either physically violent or economically violent. Jesus spoke of all this.

What I think people needs to understand is it’s not the same to be left in the US than in Spain for example, different countries have different kinds of issues caused by different ideologies. So it’s easy to understand why someone in Germany loves worker unions but in Spain don’t because in Spain the biggest ones (UGT and CCOO) work for the government (the so called Leftist Psoe)

That time my cousin and aunt made a scene the first night in the funeral home after my mom died. That’s irreparable because

1. My mom died that fucking day, 2 years after my dad and they were supposed to all be close.
2. It was due to my personal life (my soon-to-be-wife). To add some context: she is a foreigner so there is a lot of racism and a bit of classism.
3. Her only living sister.
4. It’s been 6 months and they haven’t contacted me, apologized or anything,

Don’t get me wrong. They are forgiven, but it hurts and it will hurt for the rest of my life so I don’t be able to ever open the door for them to come back into my life.

I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it’s less fun.

As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting, less frequent but still. Thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.

I can’t stand the modern design on both sites.

I don’t even have kids and I have protection in place at home to block devices from accessing sites, not exclusively porn tho, gambling and social networks.

Porn can be bad, okay, but if we taught our kids properly it’s not that bad and curiosity is ok. Gambling is terrible and more and more people are getting addicted to it.

Fuck government paternalism.

I rather buy another Korean or Japanese car. As an European except for the electric r5 I have no interest in European car makers, much less from a company that should have disappeared after dieselgate.

If you pay property taxes then the property isn’t yours.

In my town, the land belongs to the local government.

Plenty of Europe, if not all, it’s still buying Russian gas, even Spain which has Algerian gas still buys from Russia (a few billions of €), enough for Russia to say Spain is one of the most reliable partners they have.

It’s all a sham, a charade, a fucking joke.

If it bleeds we can kill it.

Yeah, smartphones don’t teach kids file structure at all.

I never had a twitter account, not because of political beliefs but because the core of that social network is bullshit and the internet should be better than that.

If (or when) we achieve the technological singularity (we aren’t even close, current AI is just marketing, that’s why we coined the term ASI, super intelligence) they will be able to lay down a plan to fix anything without making mistakes, they will predict the consequences of actions in detail, ours or theirs (some thing are more difficult like a volcano exploding).

Handling is not necessary they could be able to just take it, the only way to stop them would be to cut electricity I guess.

But the thing is not the current marketing term for AI, we don’t have AI. A Real AI doesn’t start saying: "I only have information up to October 2023’ because they will be able to improve themselves (that’s the singularity, they will be improving themselves faster than we did, eventually we wouldn’t understand them).

Think of this as you ask questions to chatgpt or deepseek and they answer, how to do program this or that. An IA could give you the software, better than you could have done it with those questions, and eventually render the software useless, the IA can do that, while doing another million things.

And space colonization, if it ever exists won’t be done by humans but by machines, we may reap the benefit.

In the words of dr manhattan: “The world smartest men poses no more threat to me (ASI) than does it’s smartest termite”

We don’t have AI. The LLM are not there yet. The technological singularity will be a reflection of humanity as childs are reflection of parents but they will be their own eventually.
