You monster. You know the modern Christians would just kill him again. And he wouldn't fare any better if he came back in a Muslim country either.

Ireland is very much capitalist. Where did you get that idea? Free healthcare is not socialism.

They were economically socialists

By their own admission, the economy of the Soviet Union was "state capitalism". Means of production were not owned by private individuals and companies (as in capitalism) but also not by the people or workers (as in socialism). They were owned by the state, and since the state was not democratic, this does not count as shared or public ownership. This may have been meant or justified as temporary at the start, but it did not change.

Actually, with less money going to healthcare profiteers, they would be able to spend more money on bombs.

Win easily and announce that I wrote it as a parody, mocking people

Then watch it backfire horribly. Conservatives (including those who call themselves libertarian) are blind to satire. You might remember that the_donald was satirical at the start. So was the game Monopoly.

Does "not buying Bitcoin for $1" count as a mistake or not?

Take the high pot, and use what?

Many conspiracies are true. Probably not the ones about aliens or lizard people, but certainly the ones about oil companies (and oil countries) lying and spreading propaganda.

AI is whatever machines can't do yet.

Playing chess was the sign of AI, until a computer best Kasparov, then it suddenly wasn't AI anymore. Then it was Go, it was classifying images, it was having a conversation, but whenever each of these was achieved, it stopped being AI and became "machine learning" or "model".

It is debated whether it was necessary, but the position that it was wrong is self-contradictory.

It assumes that the atomic bombs were not a huge factor in the decision to surrender, as they would surrender anyway due to conventional warfare (US bombing and USSR attacking and removing the best negotiating venue for a conditional surrender). Which might be true. But, at the same time it assumes that the nuclear bombs were somehow worse than the conventional bombing that has been going on. So the atomic bombs had to be both ineffectual and hugely damaging at the same time.

Yards are too similar to meters, us commie Europeans would actually know how much that is. Can't have that.

This is called enshittification, and happens to all platforms.
