I’m guessing it won’t, but it’s good to see the discussion happening. KPRF has also been seeing a lot of gains of late, and these kinds of moves will only help them going forward.

That’s right China is constructing robot internment camps!

Not so pointless when the burger reich is surrounding you with military bases.

Exactly, it’s far more likely that the US dumps Europe than the other way around. I think the US would be very happy if the EU fell apart because then they’d be negotiating with individual countries from a position of absolute power. And the recent policy paper kinds of spells this out https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf

Yup, you made it clear that you see your property rights as being more important than the rights of the people whom Canada conducted a genocide against. I understand you perfectly fine. Bye.

oh I was on a laptop, so not sure if there’s a banner on mobile

you trolls really need to get some new material

seems to load for me with the same setup

key trick is that it uses edge detection to make a smooth pixel art image

here’s an example without edge detection

and here’s with it enabled

edit: I spent way too much time on this, but figured out how to make the edge detection method produce sharp images

Seconded, I should’ve just said Racket really.

it’s pretty clear what you were insinuating here bro

It’s very frustrating to be in a situation where you know how to do something one way, but you can’t do it like that and you have to learn a completely different way to do it. Feeling like a beginner again makes people feel stupid, and most people don’t like that. But it really just means you’re learning a new way to approach problems.

That’s right, absolutely impossible to come up with any safety measures aside from physically tethering train carts to each other.

no shame in admitting that Chinese engineers are superior

such a great case study on what happens when you split a society with one part being run by communists and the other by capitalist

How much gas did you huff before writing that comment?

I highly doubt this would actually happen, but would be hilarious to watch.

What gets lost in the Poland success story is the scale of the Western financial intervention in the early 90s. It wasn’t just a few loans. The US alone kicked in nearly a billion dollars in grants and aid right out of the gate to stop the economy from collapsing. Then 200 million for the Polish Stabilization Fund in 1990 that made their new currency actually work. But the really big one, the thing no other post-communist country got on that level, was the debt forgiveness. The Paris Club, with the US leading the charge, straight up cancelled half of Poland’s official government debt. We’re talking about wiping clean 50% of a 30 billion dollar tab. The US forgave about 2.4 billion of the 3 billion Poland owed it. That was a massive, deliberate financial reset button.

So when people talk about Poland’s climb from low to high income, the real story is that the climb started on a foundation built with hundreds of millions in direct grants and one of a kind debt haircut orchestrated by the West. They did the hard work, for sure, but they were able to do it standing on a mountain of forgiven debt and direct cash that simply wasn’t available to others in the same way.
