Sad, but true.

Not Just Bikes informed many about city planning.

By forcing your citizens to die for profit?

These endless wars will continue, since money has to be made, and corporations and oligarchs have a lot of sway when it comes to foreign policy.

The next war my country’s oligarchs and corporations are pushing for is with Iran and China; the duopoly is owned and funded by these corporations and oligarchs.

I am against conscripts.

We must always be highly critical of those with power, money, and influence; especially governments and politicians (and the oligarchs that control/sway them).

I have known about those videos being posted on twitter.

I shared some of them last year, it is great that people are escaping the echo cambers we created for ourselves!

Awesome, what a great relationship to have with your dad and his willingness to learn more about what makes you laugh!

Thank you for the energy you bring to Lemmy; I will continue to try to grow and learn from many like you!

Wow, thanks for the additional context!

Thanks for the information about Operation Bloodstone!

Thanks for the song!

TIL

To make this song even more spot on, Lehrer used eight bars from the well-known German national anthem “Das Lied der Deutschen” as a song intro :-)

For those interested in learning about Operation Paperclip:

Although he officially sanctioned the operation, President Harry Truman forbade the agency from recruiting any Nazi members or active Nazi supporters. Nevertheless, officials within the JIOA and Office of Strategic Services (OSS)—the forerunner to the CIA—bypassed this directive by eliminating or whitewashing incriminating evidence of possible war crimes from the scientists’ records, believing their intelligence to be crucial to the country’s postwar efforts.

Although defenders of the clandestine operation argue that the balance of power could have easily shifted to the Soviet Union during the Cold War if these Nazi scientists were not brought to the United States, opponents point to the ethical cost of ignoring their abhorrent war crimes without punishment or accountability.^[1]

I just posted a video of Annie Jacobsen talking about Nuclear War, she also wrote a book about Operation Paperclip.^[2]

In the days and weeks after Germany’s surrender, American troops combed the European countryside in search of hidden caches of weaponry to collect. They came across facets of the Nazi war machine that the top brass were shocked to see, writer Annie Jacobsen told NPR’s All Things Considered in 2014. Jacobson wrote about both the mission and the scientists in her book, Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists To America.

“One example was they had no idea that Hitler had created this whole arsenal of nerve agents,” Jacobsen says. “They had no idea that Hitler was working on a bubonic plague weapon. That is really where Paperclip began, which was suddenly the Pentagon realizing, ‘Wait a minute, we need these weapons for ourselves.’"^[3]

Oh…

Well, thanks for being honest about how you came to that conclusion!

How did you come to that conclusion from watching this video?

Please elaborate; thank you.

In his own words:

Independent, Unencumbered Analysis and Investigative Reporting, Captive to No Dogma or Faction.

He criticizes the duopoly and the oligarchy, but I know those loyal to the duopoly tend to become tribal if people don’t outright support one side and hate the other.

Glenn has proven himself as a journalist with his reporting of Edward Snowden and much more.

He does not fall into simplistic political groups, so I understand the frustration some political factions have with people like him.

Which people do you recommend if Glenn Greenwald does not meet your standards?

“The ultimate test of a society’s freedom is not how it treats its good, obedient, compliant citizens; it’s how it treats its dissidents.” - Glenn Greenwald

A quick search, and I was able to find a couple of AI sites that can create songs.

Trial and error, go for it!

Nicely done, AI-generated response!

Which did you use?

I also think it is a tool being used to help push out whatever content the person using it wants.

It may be seen in the history books as akin to the Industrial Revolution.

The Industrial Revolution, sometimes divided into the First Industrial Revolution and Second Industrial Revolution, was a period of global transition of the human economy towards more widespread, efficient and stable manufacturing processes that succeeded the Agricultural Revolution. Beginning in Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution spread to continental Europe and the United States, from around 1760 to about 1820–1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines; new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes; the increasing use of water power and steam power; the development of machine tools; and the rise of the mechanised factory system. Output greatly increased, and the result was an unprecedented rise in population and the rate of population growth. The textile industry was the first to use modern production methods, and textiles became the dominant industry in terms of employment, value of output, and capital invested.

I think it is the future of media and content sharing for those that can afford it or know how to use it.

It is just another tool being used to create the content you desire.

Improvements are needed, but I have seen really well-done ones where a general introductory topic is discussed.

Interesting; most of the ones I have seen are portraying Mangione as Luigi from Nintendo.

My attempt using deepai:

Apologetics and celebrity worshippers: people that defend politicians instead of being critical and forcing them to bend to the will of the working class.

Key Points:

1. AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D Dominance: This CPU excels in both overall performance and gaming, making it the clear favorite for high-end builds. Its competitive pricing further enhances its appeal.
2. Gaming Performance Over Everything: The focus on pure gaming metrics reveals AMD’s continued lead in the gaming CPU market, especially with the 9800 X3D outperforming rivals by significant margins.
3. Balanced Workstation Gaming: The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X provides a solid compromise for users needing both gaming and productivity capabilities, emphasizing the importance of versatility in CPU choice.
4. Budget Options Are Limited: The sub-$100 CPU market is aging, with few new entries, highlighting the need for better budget offerings to cater to entry-level gamers.
5. Upgrade Potential: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 X3D stands out for its compatibility with existing AM4 motherboards, promoting sustainability and cost-effectiveness in upgrades.
6. Efficiency Gains: The Ryzen 5 7600 X3D showcases impressive efficiency, demonstrating that high performance does not have to come at the cost of high power consumption.
7. Intel’s Ongoing Struggles: Intel’s recent generations faced significant stability issues, which have eroded consumer confidence, emphasizing the need for reliable product launches in a competitive market.

Notable comments:

1. @Loxly-ti4sq | 1 hour ago | The fact that I can use a motherboard from 2017 to run a R7 5700X3D is crazy. Going from R5 3600 to this CPU doubles the framerate on some games, and not to mention the skyrocketing 1% low. As someone who isn’t playing at 2k/4k monitor and is rocking a 6700XT for 1080p, I might just wait for AM6 for my next upgrade lol.
2. @jeffb.6642 | 1 hour ago | It’s to the point now that “Stability” needs to be considered when making a CPU purchase, too.
3. @Kendog | 1 hour ago | I know the best overall gaming CPU is the 9800X3D and the 7800X3D and I haven’t even watched the whole video yet
