Can we move past identity as the basis of literally everything already? Its super shallow and boring :(

@elonmusk @KonstantinKisin And now we're coming full circle building our robot overlords. 🤣

Exactly.
The West, particularly Britain, ended the majority of global slavery that had existed for thousands of years in all cultures and did so at great expense in blood & treasure.
That a minority in America and Britain wanted to continue slavery is overshadowed by the fact that a supermajority within the West fought and many died to end slavery.
English
Very good example of the lies anti-Western activists love to tell:
The claim that Britain only paid off slavery compensation in 2015 is false — and the person who spread it has admitted it.
The claim that "British taxpayers were paying off slavery compensation until 2015" went viral in 2018 when the UK National Debt Management Office tweeted it. It was retracted almost immediately because it was wrong. The 1835 government loan used to pay slave owner compensation was fully redeemed in 1938. What continued beyond that were small residual government consolidated bonds — routine Victorian-era debt instruments bundled together with hundreds of other government expenditures from the same period, including the Napoleonic Wars and Irish Famine relief. This lie spread because it was emotionally compelling. It was not true.
Yes, slavery compensation was paid to the owners because that was the only way to achieve abolition. And yes, abolition was the result of campaigning and technological changes but it nonetheless represents a unique achievement of the West: everywhere else, including the Far East, the Middle East and Africa slavery continued for decades, if not centuries, and into the present time.
Note how, as usual, anti-Western narratives deliberately fail to engage in a fair comparison with OTHER empires and civilisations in the world and their conduct during the same time period.
I refuse to hold our civilisation to a fake, utopian standard of perfection while letting everyone else off the hook.

Konstantin, you asked a Black woman where she'd rather live than Britain or America or Canada. Let's take Britain as your example of tolerant, slavery-ending Western excellence. Britain did not end slavery voluntarily. Britain ended the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 after decades of organized abolitionist pressure, slave rebellions across the Caribbean, most consequentially Haiti in 1791, and the growing calculation that wage labor was becoming more economically efficient than chattel slavery in certain contexts. When Britain "abolished" slavery in its colonies in 1833, it paid £20 million in compensation. Not to the enslaved. To the enslavers. The people who had been worked and beaten and raped and bred like livestock for generations received nothing. Their enslavers received the equivalent of £17 billion in today's money, funded by British taxpayers. A debt so large that British citizens were still paying it off in 2015. You read that correctly. British taxpayers were paying off the debt incurred compensating slave owners until 2015. So when you ask a Black woman where she would rather live, the answer she gives, if she says Britain, is not an endorsement of British moral superiority. It is a statement about which available option causes her the least harm. Those are not the same thing. And you know the difference. You just find it more comfortable not to say it.

The odds of jews randomly filling 18/18 leadership positions are roughly 1 in 3.8 octillion.
If you bet a penny on that outcome you would win:
$38,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
— tens of TRILLIONS of times more than ALL the wealth on Earth combined.

Mass Production of Humanoids Underway
EngineAI has built a smart manufacturing facility for the T800 in Shenzheng.
Capable of delivering tens of thousands of units, this impressive humanoid robot is poised to enter the real world on a massive scale.

When someone said it was CGI, EngineAI CEO Zhao Tongyang took a kick from the T800 head-on 🦶 A first in history.📷

Can we start replacing people already? Its about time my cheeseburger is made by a robot instead.

The gyroscopic muzzle brake reduces muzzle rise during long strings of fire and in super slow motion you can see the affect it has on barrel harmonics. Almost completely eliminating barrel whip.

@SlicinHammer @gunjunky Your gun get jerked around or the end flies off lol

@leo1682652 @gunjunky Let's say it does malfunction- what's the negative? You lose the benefit, but it is not otherwise affecting the performance of the weapon, is it? That said, we're pretty good at making bearings that perform in harsh environments and don't get jammed, it's old tech.

@SlicinHammer @gunjunky What happens when a liquid enters a spinning part exposed to air? What about sand, dirt or other particulates? What about when it comes into physical contact with something?
English
@leo1682652 @gunjunky Complex mechanisms?? It's a wheel. There's no motor, electronics, gears, linkages, just a bearing or two (I'm guessing). I have to think reliability is awfully high.
