  • When I’m driving, it’s actually unsafe for my car to be operated in that way

    being able to consistently and reliably operate the thing without taking your eyes off the road

    The generalizations are about completely different devices. They talk about CT machines & automatic defibrillators later.


  • The funniest part is that in one of his dialogue trees, he reveals that he’s never actually been to the Semenine islands and his whole understanding of Semenese culture is based on stuff he’s read and heard on the radio. He legitimately has no real understanding of the culture he presents as superior, and no place in it.













  • So, a lot of the time with nut jobs like this, globalists is just a code word for Jews.

    However, there is a legitimate dark side to globalism as it’s conventionally defined outside of neonazi talking points. Globalism is often used as cover for neocolonialism, where poor countries are “better” for resource extraction because the salaries are low and nobody cares about the environmental costs. Meanwhile, rich countries are “better” for design, financial work, technical jobs, etc because the wealth of the populace means people are better educated.

    This traps poorer countries in poverty as the only investments are in low-skill manual labour in an environmentally degraded landscape, while the bulk of the profits go into corporations headquartered in wealthier countries. In other words, systemic wealth extraction.
