    What year do you think it is? Why would the Russian Federations President have a hammer and sickle on his hat? Do you think the United Soviet Socialist Republic still exists? Do you think the Russian Federation uses the Hammer and Sickle symbol? Or is your political literacy so poor that in your mind “Hammer and Sickle = Russia = bad” is the best you can come up with? Not to mention the fact that if you knew anything about the situation in Syria you would know that Iranian and Russian backed forces are being pushed out, and the new Syrian Government is aligned with US, Turkish, and Israeli interests. Not Iranian or Russian interests.

    Stop putting so much energy into defending a global empire that’s perfectly capable of defending itself, and get your geopolitical knowledge updated to this century.

    edit: As someone kindly pointed out USSR is Union of Soviet Socialist Republics oops on that lol. Doesnt really effect the point i was making at all but ya im a bit of a dumby for that one.





  • Do you absolutely require linux? If so something like a older microsoft surface would be best probably. Where its a full computer x86 based and has a detatchable keyboard, or a 2-in-1 that folds the keyboard back. Downside with this is worse battery life, and itll be a bit bulkier.

    If what you want is just a tablet that does not spy on you id actually reccomend just getting a pixel tablet and putting graphene OS on it. Its a custom android ROM that strips a lot out and sandboxes things to give you more control over the device while still being based on android and bringing the advantages that has (battery life, mobile optimization, etc). Down side is you dont get the full Linux OS youd want.


  • everything everyone else has said is correct about cost saving, but also sometimes they do sell things at a loss. If product needs to move or it will be thrown out to make room for new things theyll put it on sale at a loss so that they can atleast get something back for it. Its better than taking a complete loss when they have to throw it away, and it can act as a loss leader when you buy other things while there that arent as cheap. Loss leaders are also a way they take a loss on items. For example a grocery store may say milk for 25 cents for a week so people come to buy it and while they are there they get all their other groceries at a normal price which evens out the losses taken on the milk.




  • If you cant find anything i would like to point out that to contribute doesnt have to be an all or nothing affair. It’s basically impossible to exist in the imperial cores economy without your money going to something horrific. What you can do though is reduce your impact. Buy things when theyre on sale only, and try not to use them as often for example. In general just reducing the amount of money you spend reduces how much you contribute to bad things. Reduce consumption overall. Learn to make things yourself, grow a garden, herbs, etc. Repair old clothes instead of replacing them. There are hand sewing tutorials on youtube, and i find it relaxing personally.

    When you do shop maybe try going to local places, if theres a farmers market near you check them out this spring, and avoid big name stores. Its not just the products that support bad things, but the stores too. I don’t drink soft drinks so i can’t tell you an alternative tho. But don’t want you to fail to find one, and just give up on the idea. Even reducing helps.





  • Well “intelligence” is a pretty vague term. Different people are good at different things. Intelligence isnt like a CPU clock or whatever where you can give it some general score. One person might be really good with language, and another is really good at math, or another is musically gifted, etc. How do you decide who is more “intelligent” between them? When theyre all amazing at different things? I know a guy who can barely put a sentence together, and struggles to understand what im saying sometimes, but he can take a car apart and put it back together again from memory.

    Now as for if certain mental disabilities have a co-morbidity of trouble with speech im sure they do tho im no expert. Its very common for 1 condition to have a few other conditions that commonly accompany it. You can look up the specific diagnosis you have and check what the co-morbiditys are online.





  • A very small probe that emits an impossible to miss signal at random pretty long intervals and then adjusts its orbit to be very different. It would basically pretend to be various Aliens civilizations trying to contact us. Like every 45 days a new signal from a new part of the sky is picked up and then never repeats and if were just getting tons of messages at once. And since the probe is small and doesnt have a predictable orbit it would be very hard to figure out that its actually a probe and then find it.

    Alternatively. A plane full of snakes.
