Unfortunately Germans tend to get very dense when it gets to some political stuff. 🌝

Some simply don’t get what is so controversial about building Nordstream in the first place and how it undermines their independence (and I don’t just mean energy independence).

They have Gerhard Schröder as a clearest example of someone given a share in Russian gas sales, but Nordstream is just “two countries doing business, is buying energy from France also undermining our independence?”.

Yeah, fuck off Sammy. I was playing with Markov chains on my Core 2 Duo PC before OpenAI was even a thing, it’s my God given right to keep stochastic parrots at home, and weird cryptofascists won’t take it off me!

I’m so tired of people talking about “provoking Russia”. That is such a disgusting rhetorical maneuver to lift any responsibility from Russia, making it seem like Russia just reacts to actions of neighbours rather than contemplates invading neighbours for the crime of being neighbours of Russia. The only way to not provoke Russia is to be far enough from it, otherwise one will be living in “primordially Russian land”.

Actually what Russian propaganda was going for in early weeks of war - claiming that killing their panty boys was illegal because nobody declared a war.

My place has this thing where most phishing test emails are obvious but every once in a while they’ll drop a really good one, sometimes these even pose as our managers.
