Police in the North of Ireland definitely aren’t unarmed

The fuck are you on about? Easily one of the most popular rally cars and belongs in a class of popular classics: eg. Mk2 escorts, evos, classic minis, etc. This is in Ireland at least… don’t know about rest of the world

Or at least a method of suspension until they start behaving themeselves again

Also thought this when reading the article, multiple times I’ve had entire journies turn into a nightmare because of train not coming, 2/3/more hour late trains, and yeah local transport is a joke sometimes. The worst is the state of some the stations, Bonn is like a fucking drug camp sometimes and it seems that police and transport staff won’t do anything to make it safer or better

Had the cheek to claim that what the Tories is have “meaningful democratic debate”

Something I love about that post is that that this is the kind of thing a shiteating bootlicker posts, who the fuck tries to impress some leader like this?? A problem with modern society is focusing power and holding up people in power as better or perfect. Thats not very communist or socialist if you ask me, in fact it implies the existence of a ruling class still.

I remember reading this and hoped it got posted here, I was pissing myself laughing at it like, the arseholes in those communities are absolute fucking morons.

The point is right in front of their face and they still can’t see it (so the my can’t screenshot this comment for a post, the point is that those regimes were authoritarian nightmares to live in as an ordinary person). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they’re not tankies they’re idiots who for some reason love any auth regime and then pretend that life there is so good.

And everytime I post some shit like this I have to say at the end, I do not like capitalism or the US (also I’m Irish and I live in Austria currently) I would much rather see a socialist state or proper commune style communism, what they admire is basically horrible shit which should be callef Maoism/Stalism/etc.

I watched the vid, what is up with the journalists’ responses. Some guy is in prison in iran (the important story) and they’re getting offended about their professionalism being attacked?? What do the want the guy to say? That we’re dispatching seal team six? If the guy wasn’t there on official EU business then of course Swedish government should be the lead?

It’s definitely creating more of a case to defederate from it if it ever tries to federate

Very tasteful art. Who is the artist? For academic and art appreciation purposes, of course.

Why is this news, from the article this looks to be a fairly “routine” event? Not that I support Russia, but I imagine NATO forces are also engaging in similar behaviour somewhere else?

The worst part of this for me is that none of them are even communist really, they just hate NATO and love modern day Russia for some weird reason?

Like I actually like the idea of proper commune style communism, being a fairly far left socialist (and also wanting to see the capitalist/imperial American system fall and/or replaced with something better). But none of these lot are actually communist in the slightest (as I said) they are literally just anti-west / pro-auth / pro-Russia people…

This “yogihos” cunt is the worst tankie of the lot ironically. And the lot of them are russian apologist morons or bots/agents. I would say defederate from them but I like to sometimes here this stupid views to give me some perspective

Yes, all because of western hatred, fuck all to do with the people who invaded in the first place. They’re all imperalist fucks but takes like this on the situation are just completely braindead.

That shit pisses me off cause I named my home machines after them and now I can’t do it cause I expect people to ask if I’m copying him ffs

I also wonder this but would like to also add a caveat; has any world leader or politician been a trekkie?

Close on the values of trek (humanism) would certainly be the Irish president for me (Michael D. Higgins). Unfortunately though the Irish president doesn’t hold much legal power

Why, because you say so?

This is just being obtuse and a bit of a cunt. You can’t expect not to have negative reprecusions as an affect of companies being allowed to just churn out as much AI generated shit as they can. Especially since you also say:

companies are already bound by lots of laws governing their behaviour and ultimately it’s their behaviour that is what’s important to control.

Please read what you’ve again but slowly this time. You’re saying you’re fine with all the other regulation, but it shouldn’t be done here cause of individual liberties when i’ve clearly stated free use can be specifically allowed for here…

Yes, because that means I can also use it without limit.

You’ve again stated your problem when i’ve given a more than sensible solution. Individual free use is fine, why would anyone want to stop you, individually or even with your friends, being creative? The problems comes when companies with huge resources, influence, and nefarious motives decide to use it. How about this time we get ahead of it instead of letting things get out of control then trying to do something about it?

I mean there has to be a price to pay here, we can’t have our cake and eat it unfortunately. Caveats like “individual use” could allow this type of use while prevent companies taking the piss.

You seem to be implying that the government is the ruling class too, which (I grant you) may at least in part be the case but at least they’re voted into place. Would you rather have companies that we have no control over realistically use it without limit?

Honest question, what would you see as a fair way to handle the situation?

I don’t think it should be allowed to be trained off any of this stuff for entertainment/art/etc. at all. Like the dream future of AI was all the shitty boring stuff handled for us so we could sit back, chill and focus on arts, real scientific research, general individual betterment etc.

Instead we have these companies trying to get them doing all the art and interesting things whilst we all either have no job, money, or good standard of living, or the dangerous / shitty jobs.
