Condemning illegal Israeli settlements is becoming worthless, because even the Israeli government itself is condemning them lately.

Even IDF internallly recognizes that 80% of terror attacks in the West Bank are perpetrated by Israeli ‘settlers’.

The ‘settlers’ received a free pass so many times, now they got cocky enough to attack their own police officers.

So publicly condemning illegal Israeli settlements isn’t necessarily anti-Israel anymore. It’s still the extremely obvious right stance, but one that should have been taken 10 years ago, and not today, when the Israeli government itself is turning against the so-called settlers.

Sony threatens to pursue legal action?

Legal action has already been pursued, against them. And threats like these suggest it isn’t going too well for them.

To be fair, I couldn’t name even one serious country.

Huh, I didn’t even notice that.

Weird, considering the UN officially recognizes all of Ukraine as… Ukraine.

Also weird that, knowing this, Ukraine abstained and not voted against. Although this is probably because politics and international affairs.

I sure hope Canada has a decent military that doesn’t rely on American equipment.

The cheapest EV where I live costs about 30x more than the cheapest ICE car, and about 5x more than the average ICE car.

At the same time, it has half (or not even that) the range and most of the controls inside the touchscreen.

Almost everybody lives in apartments. No chargers in the underground garages or near outside parking spaces. I only know of 4 EV chargers in a radius of 2km around my home, and I live in my country’s capital.

I think I’ll stick to public transport and cycling. EVs are not the answer to any problem. All that work just to have marginally less ecologically destructive vehicles.

To me it just looks like smoking vs vaping. Improvement? I guess. Worth investing insane amounts of resources into? Yeah, probably not.

Genuinely how hard is it to at least pretend you’re not a nazi pedophile while being a nazi pedophile?

Not that I’m complaining necessarily. At least they’re making it easy to know which companies to avoid.

So a serial killer can freely criticize and make judgments about other killers, because bringing up his crimes would be whataboutism? Is that where we are?

“Whataboutism” or “whataboutery” (as in, “but what about X?”) refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation.

Which part of my comments fits this definition? I’m not defending anyone or redirecting the argument in any direction.

It’s a basic fucking concept that you don’t get to claim moral high ground or make judgments when you’re guilty of incomparably worse crimes. Simple as that.

If you want to call others evil, how about first trying and being less evil than them? Is it really so much to ask? Or do we just not care, because moral superiority was promised to Europe 3000 years ago?

It’s blatant misinformation based on false data.

You can also read Kurzgesagt’s ‘response’, which cherry picks two arguments, twists them, doesn’t even properly respond to them, and ignores all other points made. In perfect, corporate PR fashion.

You just posted 3 sources for the same thing, that was never questioned by anybody in this thread.

This is Chinese-Russian propaganda whataboutism.

What are you even talking about?

I’m stating clear, objective facts. How many people died in Ukraine, invasion of which China supports? And how many people have died in Palestine, Iran, and Venezuela, invasions of which most of Europe supports? Not to mention the previous 50+ invasions.

There’s nothing ‘whataboutism’ about this. The main issue here is European entitlement. How can you look at all the atrocities we’ve openly supported and continue happily supporting, and say: “Yeah, that’s fine.”

If pointing out the biggest atrocities ever committed by mankind is whataboutism, then I guess human lives really are worthless, and all we can do is continue slaughtering children.

The simple fact is - as long as the EU continues supporting the US and Israel, it has absolutely no business acting like it’s morally superior.

If it really wants to have a moral high ground, then it’s simple. Cut all ties with the US and Israel, unilaterally condemn both, send aid to Palestine, and there you go. Unless priorities are different and genocide is permissible if it provides benefits. Surely that’s not the case?

Sweeney noted the industry faces “internal dysfunctions,” such as the high cost of AAA game development, and outside challenges including the ongoing component shortage.

All of these channels are owned by private equity companies, which honestly is all you need to know.

Veritasium isn’t just misinformation and propaganda, but the guy is also an adult baby that throws a tantrum and gaslights you when you mention errors in his videos. In case you needed another reason to avoid that garbage.

Fern seems to be the single one that actually read the contract and negotiated terms, since even a while after being purchased, they still make high quality videos. Let’s see if it lasts.

Which doesn’t make it any less shitty of a channel

Personally I can’t wait for Switch 2 CFW. And ideally a Switch 2 Lite/OLED/just V2, because Jesus Christ the battery life in current Switch 2 is abysmal.

The Switch 1 is already a very cool console once you mod it. Now imagine what it could do with more modern hardware, and not that 10+ years old discount chip from nvidia that they dug up somewhere in Iraq.

Might still be a while, but I’m in no rush. Still plenty of games to play on Switch 1, and even more older games, most of which can be emulated on a Switch as well.

True, but don’t forget European countries aren’t innocent either. They have supported all of, and continue to happily support USA’s and Israel’s unprovoked invasions and genocides.

Not necessarily saying one side is worse - although tbh we kinda are - but mainly highlighting that Europe is in no position to claim moral high ground.

Sony hard at work to be the next Nintendo.

Pirate all of their shit. Jailbreak your PS if you can. Do not give them a single penny.

Unfortunately, the US, and some other Western democracies, operate based on capital. Bottom 60% owns nothing, so it’s the minority. Top 0.1% owns everything, so it’s the majority.

Don’t worry. It gets much worse inside.

A bit outdated. In 2026 you need a PhD and 7 years of experience to operate those machines. Alternatively, family members in big corporations.
