The internet in the 2000s was like a WW1 Trenchline. Noise and graphic content everywhere and one wrong move could cost you life or limb.

I dont exactly remember when it started getting “safer” because I think the same time the internet was getting safer to browse, a lot of Millenial and Zillenial kids were getting smarter and otherwise learning how to not get malware and worms on their PC

yeah cause you cant get one at your local best buy anymore, but someone will certainly harrass you into trying to buy a smart TV

Likely because those sites are built by the same provider.

I work for a car dealership and all of the other dealerships of the same brand in our region use the same family of providers, We -used- to have the faces of real employees pop up on the chat thing until they got too busy to handle it

now its the same stock photo of a person who likely doesnt even exist

Rose tinted glasses. Shopping online in 2005 was absolutely not as simple as 3 clicks.

you missed the part about broken links, pages that wouldnt load because of some random HTML error, oh, and the payment itself either getting rejected or otherwise not working for a long time.

You’re right, I Unintenitonally used a straw man argument. and what did you do, turn around and you used one right back, insenuiating that I think I get to decide who can reproduce.

give me a fucking break.

First mistake was assuming I was looking for respect from a comment section on the internet.

the countries that are panicking about birth rates are also the countries that think they’re going to be at war in the next generation or two. And the demographic situation is already bad in the countries that aren’t already shooting.

Look at how bad things were before it started, and what 3 years of full scale war has done to Ukraine and Russia, they have more or less succeeded in signing each others death warrants as nations

Im sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but that Trailer park welfare mom with 6 kids and her 4 baby daddies that have 2 kids each of their own are a problem.

and there’s plenty of other cultures with a similar problem of having too many kids and not being able to provide for any of them.

*those are real problems, and people arent insane for criticising them. *

not to mention more of then than not, those kids grow up poor and have miserable lives, who go on to repeat what their parents did. starting the cycle all over again.

Nobody is saying people cant have kids, but there’s a line of whats reasonable. This isn’t the middle ages where you have a gaggle of kids because you need manual labor for the farm and you expect half of them to die before they reach 20.

the kind of scum that the mobsters in government choose as allies.

Not sovereign countries that were attacked because another Mob state unilaterally decided they dont get to exist anymore, like Ukraine , Not oppressed people who’ve been systematically denied representation and genocided for centuries, Like the Kurds

Instead, We cosy up with Regimes with abhorrent human rights abuses who win favor in the west with bribery.

Countries that wage war against us from the inside, trying to convince us they’re friends whilst having no intentions other then destroying us, like Russia,

Wasting money trying to prop up regimes that want nothing to do with us other than our money, like Afghanistan and Iraq.

or the never ending blank check to Israel who freaks out every time someone sneezes, Who will never run out of enemies, and make new ones when they do. citing the Holocaust as an excuse to butcher 80,000 people in a month all while threatening to use nukes if they fail.

the lifespan of the computer is 3 times faster. build in 2025, get a new one in 2027

Its not just China and Russia doing it anymore. Russia has the considerable might of the legitimate assets of the USA. Not to mention its unofficial ones, firehose of falsehood from the Russian internet troll farms, American troll farms, and every Bubba, Jed, and White nationalist WASP with affluent sounding names with access to wi-fi

Europe is Russia’s domain, The Americas is Trump’s, Southeast Asia is Xi.

if you aren’t at the table , you’re on the menu

Europe is going to be a nuclear wasteland, unlike the other two, Russia doesnt have the numbers or equipment for any more war, and they’re also facing against the nuclear armed NATO forces.

North America will be a wasteland of warlord states as America dissolves into civil war, and odds are, China will sit back, do nothing, and win everything by being the only seat left at the table.

it did in the movies, in here lies the problem.

I dont go on 4chan though, the only exposure I have to it is occasionally reading greentext vids/stories on other sites.

I was just on a random rabbit hole that Briefly involved templeOS and somehow ended up on the “hit CIA with your car they arent humans” video

It’s fucking weird that not 3 or 4 days ago… I was literally reading about Davis. And the glowing CIA ranting that he was doing. Total coincidence

reddit permabans you for vague interpretations of things they consider “threatening”

its already a thought crime zone.

Sounds like thats the Ukrainian SBU’s business, and no one elses.

you’re asking the location of a world leader who has had countless attempts on his life and is actively at war. Do you normally ask stupid rhetorical questions?

I cant wait until the European/Mexican/Chinese parts that I order from the USA that always arrive with a customs declaration of Origin:USA … starts biting me in the ass because of their ignorance and Canadian Customs tries to hit me with Tariffs that shouldnt apply.

the better option is to just stop doing business with American shops. and thats what I’ve chosen, the USPS and Canadian Postal service are both such shitholes, that I have legitimatley recieved stuff from the UK, Poland and Denmark faster than I’ve recieved stuff fom Illinois and Iowa , in the orders I’ve made this year. For small things too.

There is no mechanism to removing someone from NATO, or the UN, especially the UN Security council. literally meaning, there is no way it will be done that will be recognized

a far more effective method would be for protesting nations to leave those orgs themselves. UNSC members could literally drop nuclear weapons on half the world, and still be untouchable in the UN. its a broken system that aimed to add permanent power to the victors of WW2. except, all countries are corruptable.

the UN is just a clubhouse where people agree to talk. nothing more

No country with nuclear weapons gives a flying fuck about what anyone at the UN says, coincidentally, many of them are permanent security council members.
