I’m saying education doesn’t always equal a degree.Yes, some fields should have formal education, but what people pay is not for the education, it’s the experience of the instuctors, tools, class material, ect. Those are what we are paying for

Tl;dr: you posted a banal platitude with a definite implication, and are now being made to walk back and diminish the scope of the intellectual turd you dropped.

Both you, and everyone else reading this understands that my summary is accurate.

We all know this to be true, as you literally invited it with your first message:

I’m ready for those downvotes, but it’s just a hardpill to swollow

What a fucking lame way to get your dopamine.

It’s still free. You’re not paying for the education, you are paying teachers and university buildings/materials. No one is stopping you from going to the library and learning. The internet hosts a large wealth of knowledge.I’m ready for those downvotes, but it’s just a hardpill to swollow

You’re not actually saying anything useful here.

While it is true that the desire to acquire knowledge comes from within, you’re utterly disregarding how lack of access to educators, equipment, facilities, etc., can slow down or halt individual progress.

You’ve also disregarded some rather serious regulatory issues; I don’t go to self-taught doctors, and don’t want self-taught engineers designing my bridges and airplanes.

Real recognizes Real.

This can be put to rest quite decisively:

Get fingerprints.

Or would that undermine the prank theory?

Cunt.

Probably depends on the technical definition of “disease” cus obviously stuff like cancer or vitamin deficiency (scurvy) are not infections, but I’m not sure if they’re considered diseases. Do you have a demonstration of the falsehood?

You just demonstrated the falsehood in your first paragraph; playing loosely with the definition of the word disease is precisely why the statement is flat out wrong.

but I’m not sure if they’re considered diseases.

Which highlights the problem of just taking the platitude at face value. If you are not sure what is considered a disease, and what is not, then it is not reasonable to make claims about the platitude that All diseases are caused by infections.

These are the results of collectively deciding to never hold Trump accountable for anything, for the duration of his life.

But, maybe it will turn out he was right, someday

Doubtful, as it’s demonstrably false.

Cool! And since “sabotage and treachery” are perfectly capable of dealing great damage to Ukraine and other European nations alike, we should not be gung ho about Russia.

Conversely, we can watch them hemorrhage abroad, while all their domestic refineries burn.

This feels like a …

turning point?

You still haven’t replied to the points about European preparedness potential future russian aggression, and have now to top it all conflated casualties and deaths.Lmao indeed.

Russians have treachery going for them, and that’s about it. As far as military might is concerned, you can watch Russian soldiers, pilots, operators, drivers, vehicles explode in Ukraine. Up close and personal footage.

But I’m guessing you won’t be laughing the next time a cargo ship registered conveniently in the Caribbean “accidentally” causes damage to Western interests. Will you then connect your complacency to what’s happening?

Sabotage and treachery. This is what you do when you don’t have the Might. Whatever master plan you’re trying to spell out is an increasingly lame Hail Mary. If you want an accurate assessment of what they’re capable of militarily, land, air, or sea, watch them bleed during the Special Military Operation.

All casualties that Putin doesn’t give a shit about, so why is that important, really?

The Russians should put you in charge of signing up new recruits. LMAO

There may come a point where Russia’s high casualty rate has significant domestic impact, but it is not yet.

Definitely put you in charge of the enlistment PR team. LMAO

With control of the media, Putin is able to paint a much rosier picture at home, and when his military’s ranks are swollen with convicts and North Koreans, the actual losses are of lower impact to begin with.

That explains all the state controlled media encouraging all Russians to take lots of road trips. LMAO

To put it another way: if Russia is currently losing, what would you call a state in which Russia stops advancing? What would you call a state in which Ukraine were able to take back - and then hold - territory?People who talk shit about how Russia is losing, is idiotic and so on, I think still have the mentality most people did in the first months of the invasion, when Russia had just been shown to be a complete paper tiger relative to prior expectations. A war they were supposed to win in a few days is still going, and they haven’t won it yet - a terrible humiliation for Russia.

At least you’ve correctly identified Russia’s terrible humiliation. Special Military Operation. LMAO

But the fact that they suffered a terrible humiliation, were ridiculously less powerful than most people believed, doesn’t mean they’re losing.

Make that your first recruiting slogan. LMAO

“Slowly gaining territory at great cost” is not losing.

To learn more, contact your local Recriting Officer. LMAO

Achieving a victory for Ukraine means a change from the current state of affairs; they need more weapons and support than they are currently receiving.

Yeah, they’ve only been able to kill a smidgen over a million Russians with their meager resources. Thankfully, the Russians haven’t sustained any serious equipment losses. LMAO

You haven’t actually disagreed with any of the potential things I pointed at Russia being able to do, or at Europe’s slow rearmament.

Sorry, I wasn’t able to see any of your points through the field of one point one million sunflowers. LMAO

Those were the substantive things.

Of course they were. LMAO

Their state of being unable to handle their neighbour is that they are winning incredibly slowly.

And it’s only cost them one point one million casualties so far.

Bleeding out is an idiotic way to “win incredibly slowly”.

But I suppose the ends justify the means. In this case, ends refers to territory captured and held, and domestic oil production.

Winning incredibly slowly. LMAO

not only that, but then your pet attack dog comes along and somehow twists that into me defending pedophiles

I should actually pop back in and look at the thread, instead of just replying to my inbox. I have a pet attack dog? That’s kinda neat. I wasn’t aware, but neat nonetheless.

My point stands: when called upon to boycott Tesla, no resistance. When called upon to boycott Apple, blow up the conversation into anything but generating momentum for an Apple boycott.

It really is that reductionistic.

Why did you assume I was “nullifying action”?

Mostly your action nullifying attitude.

I shit on Tesla on a routine basis, and get zero pushback. No bitching about other vehicle producers who also are Trumpdy Dumptys…, zero.

I say don’t buy naziPhones, and people come out of the woodwork with every conceivable devil’s advocate angle, and basically maximize tangentiality.

Anything other than reinforcing the message of not buying apple:

Be mad at everyone, such that you apply pressure to no one.

You know, nullifying action.

You’re made of spare parts, aren’t ya, bud? No, therefore you should punish both, and get a phone with GrapheneOS or Linux.

So why didn’t you just say something like Look into Graphene OS or Linux in the first place?

FYI, Google is also going after ICE-spotting apps.

And therefore, ill punish neither.

Can you add anything else to nullify action, and foster an attitude of placid obedience?

Please, share more ideas to help entrench the status quo.

Thus solidifying my scorched earth policy with apple.

I don’t want your naziPhone.

Russian regions are massively boosting military sign-up bonuses to lure more people to die in Ukraine

This would be the actual jack-booted thuggery that the NRA used to bleat about.

Surely, the NRA is raising holy hell about tyranny, now that it’s here.
