What a load of crap.
Anyone who thinks a hunter gathererer society doesn't stigmatize drug use (or at least unmanaged drug use with negative externalities) is an idiot.
A member of a small society like that would be given a few chances to reform, but eventually they would be kicked out, and they'd die as an outcast, lacking the support of their tribe. That's because there isn't that much to go around, and someone who isn't carrying their weight will eventually need to go because everyone else was fighting to survive. That's written into our DNA, in our extreme, today irrational fear of social rejection. In our shared past, it wasn't just uncomfortable, it was life or death.
Anthropologically, you can even see this in agrarian societies, where individuals live only a few miles from where their ancestors lived a millennium ago. In non western societies, getting kicked out of your village was a similar sort of death sentence, and only very recently has high technology made such events less fatal. Before you hit banishment, you'd better believe milder social stigmas kick in.
What's colonialist is the Rousseauian noble savage archetype that assumes the people in the lands not yet tamed by Europeans were living like advanced space aliens with no want nor judgement of any kind.
Many successful native tribes in North America heavily stigmatize drug and alcohol use, because of course they do. Also, many non western countries heavily stigmatize drug and alcohol use because the colonial history of the west is feeding drugs to them to get them addicted to take all their stuff. Far from demanding a stigma around these things, colonialism took advantage of the lack of stigma around drugs and alcohol to take advantage of communities. In that way, stigmatizing drug and alcohol use isn't colonialist, it's anti-colonialist.
Maybe these idiots should read about the history of colonialism instead of just saying whatever they dont like is colonialism? This argument borders on offensively historically illiterate.

Thank goodness for that. It's the only way the internet is actually robust in its original concept.
I've got one machine where I do a lot of my routine stuff in a VM running Linux on top of windows 11. Media can be a little dodgy since it needs to pass sound through but besides that it's perfect.
With some of the huge outages lately I have to laugh.

Big problem is, what do you even do with that much power?
Considering how few good games have been released in the past 5 years, I'm still rocking a 2060 mobile and most games play perfectly.

A bear with a bluetooth speaker I'm ok with, but I agree with you that an AI toy for a little child is really concerning. In fact, most technology given to young children without parental guidance is really concerning.
I've heard reports of kids who go to kindergarten not knowing their own name. That seems stupid until you remember there's kids who are on tablets for hours and hours a day -- they're never referred to by their own name!
Manmade horrors beyond our comprehension? ✅

German word for the day:
Bandwurmwort
Literally "tapeworm word", a word for those huge german compound words.
In college, I used yahoo translate to give me "deuschegagenstandstarkaussprechen" as "long hard to say german word" with no spaces, but apparently it's just gibberish. So Bandwurmwort it is!

My mom got an "AI teddy bear", but it turns out it's just a Bluetooth speaker that uses a shitty app to produce shitty ai stories.
So you can just use other apps using Bluetooth!

I feel like this is a move straight out of professional wrestling.
"Oh, you don't wanna see it, there's nothing in there, nobody cares"
Crowd screams
"Oh? I mean, I could but it really doesn't matter
Crowd howls
"Well, I guess I'll just have to do it."

There are these driver packs you can get. You don't need to download the whole thing, it can just download the drivers you need, but you can also get the whole thing and just have all of the drivers. One of those life changing pieces of software tbh

I think the bigger question for him is: "how much higher can it go?"
Early on there's an asymmetric reward: lose a small investment or make huge gains. But Nvidia is already the largest company in history by market cap. Is it realistically going to double? Probably not, but it could half easily. So pull the plug and try to find something that's going to grow and isn't likely to drop.

Kind of really weird that people are calling trump a Nazi for eliminating state funded media.
The Nazis loved that shit.

Nationalism is a product of modernism. It is not the way that people have thought for the majority of human history. It is one of the ideas that came out of the Jacobin revolution in France.
This is important because the ruling class which is globalist today wasn't even nationalist in the past. The ruling classes existed through nobilitys loyalty to the monarch, and the nobility lived in the same regions that they ruled. Rather than being highly concerned about universal loyalty to the empire, individuals were loyal to their local Lord, who in turn had relationships with other Lords and the monarch they pledge allegiance to. Such a thing was nothing like the modern nation state. If you were the head of a principality for example, you and your people would identify yourselves through your principality.
The early United States were similar to an extent. States existed, under the United States. Someone from Texas would identify as a Texan before they identified as an American.
The reason this matters is it shows the difference between the ruling class of the past who may have been disconnected from the people that they ruled in some ways but still lived and worked in are those regions and identify themselves with those regions, and the current globalist ruling class who thinks that any empathy for the people that they directly rule is inherently immoral.

I mean, it is literally an "energy drink", composed of nearly nothing but sucrose...
"In defence, Daniel Wood told the court he'd been battling with his gender identity for some time"
I hate to be the one to point this out, but neither male nor female gender identity, but especially not female gender identity, suggests that you should expose your genitals to little children. Not once have I been out with my wife, and hear her go "oh no! It's my feminine urge to show people my genitals in public!" -- not even once!
In fact, most men will admit -- if only in private -- that it's actually quite difficult to convince most women to show you their genitals.

Wouldn't be a problem if people could be financially responsible. A 50-year mortgage could end up being something you take out, then you pay minimum payments for a few years while getting established, then you pay it down in a highly accelerated manner once you're solid.
Instead, people go "Oh, I can take out a 50 year mortgage, so instead of borrowing 1 million, I can borrow 1.3 million! it's only a 6000/mo payment!" and then they just run out the clock on a 50 year mortgage. End result is just higher prices period.
Take out a 50 year mortgage at a low rate then pay it off in 15-20, and it's just cheap insurance.
The really great thing for household affordability would be to limit mortgages to the golden ratio of 3 years wages. But nobody would allow that.

Progs electing a goldman sachs investment banker is the most hilarious self-own I've ever seen. They don't believe a thing that comes out of their mouths either, obviously.
Whatever do you mean? The boomers are so nice and respectful, always thinking of the future!
