The idea of letting kids make video games for other kids was great IMO. The idea that it had be financialized with micro transactions that resulted in a mass child labor scheme was that problem.

We're talking about poisoning a single person not a gas cloud. Poisoning a single person vs drone striking a wedding.

Nerve agents compared to drone strikes look humane and civilized.

The legal reasons was because the Linux Foundation is based in the USA and the targeted devs worked for companies explicitly sanctioned by the USA. Linus said he knew and trusted the devs he was forced to delist.

The Linux Foundation needs to relocate to some stable neutral country like Switzerland.

Calling the democratic party a "coalition" is extremely generous. It's historically been a corrupt patronage network since Van Buren and any attempt to make it represent the will of its voters is thwarted internally. Its history is a graveyard of progressive movements.

That's when you rotate the proxy. By default most residential proxies will give you a new proxy for each request unless you specify.

Pro-tip for webscrapers: using AI to solve captchas is a massive waste of effort and resources. Aim to not be presented with a captcha in the first place.

Worse is when its asking for crosswalks and its clearly a rumblestrip.

It is funny that involvement in Afghanistan has been passed back and forth between the US an Russia for half a century. Before that it was the UK and Russia. But thats not what the meme is about. The meme revels in its own ignorance of the situation.

Yes, ISKP is a direct consequence of US meddling in the region. Many of it's members were our collaborators. But I think you're being unfair here if you're going to equate Russia trying to stabilize the Taliban's rule with America's failure to replace it. Its possible that Russia's involvement can escalate like it did in the 80s but I doubt that'll happen. That would be like the America deciding to send troops to Vietnam again.

Finally anyone who has a grain’s worth of intuition about the world’s politics would know that what Russia calls “a partnership against terrorism” is a cover up for continuing to meddle in affairs of middle eastern countries

See that's just it. You're operating off you're preconceived notions instead of the facts on the ground. The fact is the ISKP is operating in northern Afghanistan and is a threat to literally everyone in the region. When you put that into perspective, the meme is not funny and is massively ignorant. Despite all the injustices the Taliban commits, the Islamic State is far far worse. They're the ones actively suicide bombing Hazari women and the only ones who can stop them are, regrettably the Taliban. Thats a grim and morbid reality, because the Taliban is racist as hell against Hazari's but they aren't genocidal like the Islamic State. We'd both like to seem some progressive secular democracy in the region but we spent two decades pissing any chances of that away.
