So it's just the browbeating for me today then?

Pretend all you want that you're "just asking questions"
That's pretty much exactly the same as the Israeli line

vibes of a genocide denier

doesn't change facts.

What facts! I'm still waiting for one. We can go round and round all day but until you show me something to center this on it'll be a waste of time. In 30 years even your ABC will quietly walk back their claims of genocide and I hope when that happens you will tell the people around you not to trust the same sources that lied to you.

There's no racial component to it at all

That's a pretty bold statement to make. Have you seen the west?

Are you or are you not genociding the people of mars right now? debatebro-l

You see that's kind of where the problem is. You can say there's a genocide and I can say "where" and that gives me the vibe of a genocide denier. I've looked for evidence, I've asked for evidence, but the best I've ever gotten is a satellite image of some prison in China, some (AI padded) mugshots with no context, and some thorough browbeating by very serious liberals.

Let me put this another way. I'm of Jewish descent. My great aunt was in a camp. I'm not trying to "deny" any genocides, but what should my standard of evidence be? Particularly when there is a clear incentive for western media to create false narratives about their enemies, and have done so before?

If you have something to present that I haven't seen, I and the other "tankies" are wide open to engage with it.

Wouldn't say "dead" just put on the back burner. They'll get their way eventually just like they did with net neutrality. (Responding to the article headline not you exactly)

Google is pushing for websites to implement this software that talks to your TPM (trusted platform) chip on your computer and has it attest to the state of your web stack. Then, the website gets to decide if that's okay and can deny you access if there's any "funny business" such as ad blockers installed, or you're using a browser they don't like, or maybe even running an os they don't like. We'll almost certainly find ways around it for a while, but it's going to get better (for them, worse for you)

I think this is on their eventual roadmap, somewhere just after not allowing anyone to log in without a verified WEI check for """"security"""" yea

Then you can stop all the YouTube rehosting sites like piped by baking in little 1 pixel changes that uniquely identify the account that ripped the video. Netflix and others will do this as well too try to stop piracy.

They're going to go scorched earth on this, I just know it. The Internet will become as bad as cable was and this is the turning point.

I'm coming into my 30s now sort of going the opposite direction you are. From my perspective I'm realizing that I missed out on creative expression until now because I subconsciously realized it wasn't a "practical option" that I couldn't afford, so I'm waking up to the fact that I've lived my life up to this point as a STEM bro type missing out on a huge spectrum of experiences, and it makes me feel robbed.

I want to live in a fucking treehouse for a month, with a rope ladder, and a Zipline.

Oh really? I didn't know they made it without. I just checked mine and it says it has >100% of all the b complex vitamins in a serving (2 tbsp). I do live in the US but I got mine online.
