Previously, the South Koreans did not supply anything to Ukraine

That's a lie, isn't it?

The feed still works (probably), there just hasn't been any new bulletins since April 20th: https://bulletins.hexbear.net/

Egypt to back South Africa genocide case against Israel at world court ^[SCMP]^

From what I've heard Egypt cracked down pretty hard on the protests and I'm under the impression no one expects the government to do the right thing unprompted so this was kind of surprising.

I somehow completely missed that Ukraine is now using civilian planes to bomb Russia. You'd think the international "rules based" order people would have something against this but they predictably do not.

Presumably nothing will come from this (because nothing good ever happens) but it would be great if China could start prying Europe away from the US.

Decided to check the google trends for this "overcapacity" the news has been trying to push and the region stats really reflect the target demographic.

Did users of other subreddit-logos also get hit with these or were we privileged?

I feel like it was just an excuse to hamper activity on the sub or they would have told you what the rule-breaking post was.

Some choice comments:

It's only logical to put those people who can't control themselves in an institution or jail.

"Real capitalism has never been tried":

Capitalism is okay, aggressive colonial plutocracy isn't.

On rehabilitation being better than punishment:

I doesn't feel right.

Casual sinophobia:

Lol, Chinese people don't even help other Chinese people when they're hurt/injured.

Arm robots? Sounds like a great idea!

A lady ridding a robot. They should be able to eletroshock anyone trying to harass them

Empathy? What is that?:

I feel bad for these people. 😔

...why?

"Design effort" > human lives

There should be a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years for anyone who vandalizes these robots. There's a great deal of design effort that goes into achieving compliance with existing regulations and society in order to make sure it behaves appropriately. People vandalizing them is no different than vandalizing other public infrastructure and should be punished accordingly.

Lifetime imprisonment for stealing food:

Lock the people up and throw away the key. Far too many people fetishize mental disorders and use that as an excuse for bad actions. I firmly believe the amount of people you think have mental illnesses are actually pretty low, and these people here are just using that as an excuse to cause disorder and chaos.

Eugenics enjoyer:

Personally, I think the death punishment or at the very minimum sterilization should be handed out to people that commit such crimes so that they can't pass on their lowlife genes. Give me a single reason why the existence of the disgusting old skank riding the robot in the video or the man kicking over the robot at the beginning somehow contributes to humanity and why people like them should have the liberty of having children.

This is another issue of UBI in my opinion as well. Our current job market is a gene-filtering system of sorts, where the more intelligent, hardworking, and cooperative you are, the more likely you are to earn more money, giving you the option to have children. What happens when you give even the dregs of society like those in the video who contribute nothing the resources to have kids? Lower intelligence is already positively correlated with fertility. If you completely remove the bottleneck of finances by implementing UBI, its pretty easy to guess what is to come.

There's soup kitchens, social markets, etc. etc. Doubt anyone in America or the EU literally has to steal or starve.

so are we ignoring the fact it's the basketball americans


There are some comments that are more reasonable to be fair.
