Poland is a legal fiction invented by Russians, Germans, Poles and Lithuanians to disguise the true and righteous destiny of East Dakota.

These are actually two slightly different options. Mouse sensitivity is how far the cursor or camera moves based on how far the mouse moves. More sensitivity means that the camera moves more if you move the mouse the same distance.

Mouse acceleration tracks how fast the mouse moves over that distance and extends the amount the camera or cursor moves if it moves faster or decreases it if it moves slower. In some cases this can feel more natural, but in others it can make it harder to be both fast and precise in your movements, since moving faster can make you overshoot compared to making the same movement more slowly.

Yeah, though in his (incredibly lukewarm) defense he seemed more interested in the batshit crazy aliens-control-the-government theories than the more pedestrian conservative stuff, although the line between the two has greatly narrowed over the years.

Right, because the alternative somehow isn't "genocide, but also you lose even more of what little power you still have over this supposed democracy."

Even if this election doesn't let us end the genocide, one option is actively threatening to use military force against political dissidents, which tends to make it even harder to push for a change in foreign policy.

Damn, I can't wait to hear about all the things you're doing to try and actually end the abominable genocide against the people of Palestine. Meanwhile the rest of us are looking for ways to do that and also voting against the guy who promised to double-down and bring the violence home against immigrants.

Pretending Trump's presidency wouldn't be objectively worse for all the causes leftists care about, even the ones (like Palestine) Harris isn't going to do shit about isn't taking a principled stand. It's hiding from what little power you have in the electoral system in order to keep whatever happens next off your conscience. And frankly, the Palestinians don't care about your conscience any more than the Hispanic Americans or trans kids.

So when Ukrainians try to push for closer alignment with the EU it's a Washington-backed color revolution and thus is no different than Russia rolling into the literal tanks.

Like, even if you're not a Russian troll you're still adopting a conspiracy theory that completely ignores any agency the Ukrainian people have.

That's a pretty good presentation summary. I'd be interested in watching a vid of the full presentation just to see where the details get filled in.

Of course the original resource that gets into this in real depth, especially the scams that are at the heart of it, is probably the Meads v Meads reasons written by Justice JD Rooke of Alberta.

That part almost makes sense. Like, from the Bank's perspective your deposit is a liability, not an asset. But the mortgage on your house that they very much can give you is an asset for them and a liability for you. Two-column accounting works like that; everything in my asset column is going to be in someone's liability column.

But none of the other nonsense follows from that at all. It's the few sentences bordering on lucidity to make you forget how insane all the promises from earlier were.

It's true. Also notably the scam isn't on the car dealerships or the family court or, it's on the guy who buys a course in sovcitery, or the books, or the document templates, or whatever else they're selling.

I mean, of course they didn't carve "this" - they didn't speak English, so "this" would have just been a random assortment of squiggles!

I wouldn't say there's no mysticism in the singularity, at least not in the sense you're implying here. While it uses secular and scientific aesthetics rather than being overtly religious the roadmap it presents relies on specific assumptions about the nature of consciousness, intelligence, and identity that may sound plausible but aren't really more rational than having an immortal soul that gets judged at the end of days.

And it doesn't help that when confronted by any kind of questioning of how plausible any of this is there's a tendency to assume a sufficiently powerful AI can solve the problem and assume that's the end of it. It's not less of a Deus ex Machina if you call it an AI instead of a God to focus on the Machina instead of the Deus.

Except their magic money machine is fake, but their need to buy food and housing and whatever else is very real. In order to sustain themselves they're either also grinding away at a 9-5 in addition to trying to make the magic happen or else they're straight-up grifting other sovcits and aspiring sovcits into giving them money.

There's a reason why the C in OPCA stands for "commercial".
