Waging a war against a sadistic oppressor is not exactly a lucrative business, military industry complexes nonwithstanding.

The Armenian genocide happened in early 1900s, in World War 1. Turkey murdered roughly a million armenians. Some historians argue that the Holocaust by Nazis was inspired by and modeled after that genocide.

Good choice.

Belarussia needs a revolution. Couldn't CIA pull that off?

Even in Stallman's visions open source was not hostile to making money at all, as long as the tenets are followed. Also, you might wanna read economics.

West was scared of Russia. Their poker game was good for a long time, but we finally called.

Drink me!

Why?

So I can save you.

From what?

From what I'm going to do to you if you don't drink me.

Your argument would be valid if this phenomenon was specific to USA, but it's not. It's happening (to my knowledge) everywhere where kids were given unrestricted access to the Internet. That's the common denominator, not political or social issues.

That we also have political and social issues is not making the situation easier, but I don't believe that's the root cause for kids' increased mental issues. The previous generations had their part of alarmism and issues as well -- e.g. world wars, nukes, oil crises, cold war, smaller wars everywhere all the time (Korea and Vietnam even constituted a general draft in the US, which must have not been a great time), satanism panic/red scare/gay scare.

Gen Z's biggest problem (which spawns all the other problems) is being constantly online, but it's hardly their fault. The older generations (which I'm part of) founded the internet, molded it into digital heroin, and then went ahead and purchased the kids their devices that had mostly no restrictions or protections.

It perfectly fits the Who Killed Hannibal meme.

Also in a time of moving everything to cheapo countries, Musk founded new car factories in the US and Europe. Also a couple in China, but those were as late as 2019 and 2021.

Heh, that's a fun theory. The design is so similar that I wouldn't be surprised if Toby Fox read the Angry Flower at some point.

I got the model that's on the picture there, open model. They're not bad, pretty decent soundstage and the microphone is decent (and detachable). Doesn't really matter to me that they stopped making these, I wouldn't have bought the same model again anyway.

I saw that setting and switched it off, and now reading through others' and my own comments is like walking on clouds. It's great!

Should this be the default and make everyone's lives here a tiny bit better?
