hmm actually i don’t disagree with you either, i’ve been in many fights over this hyper normalization of AI and while i don’t really consider memes to be relevant enough, it’s something i’ll think about

yeah i’m front row on the AI hate train and absolutely despise seeing it everywhere. but from the very start, i’ve let it slide for memes and brain rot. no one makes money out of this and the dogshit art makes it even more absurd.

the only acceptable use for AI

nothing of note has happened yet. just clashes in Islamabad and Lahore and party workers are being arrested from everywhere. the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit is on the 15th and it seems the state is gonna clean up everything before then. i don’t see the protestors gaining anything from this and it’s pointless to expect some serious revolutionary strategy from Imran Khan’s party since they are essentially just libs.

but then again, as daddy US crumbles so has the cognitive ability of the puppet state in PK. so you never know

this is so disappointing

thanks, that’s reassuring :)

i’m crying who came up with King Bazinga

the only connection i made up till now was that before covid i used to get a cold or flu like once a year and it was always a very similar pattern where you would be back up in a couple days. post covid tho it just feels like i’m sick all the time, i think i’ve been out with a cold/flu like 4 times this year already and there’s a quarter left.

but for the past couple years my ADHD has also been incredibly difficult. it hasn’t been this bad my whole life and i assumed that it was just because of circumstances. but it would be useful to see if this is a common experience post covid

oh thank god this is back! great work comrades!!

also if there’s any need for devs then i can contribute

this is a tough one because South Asia’s history is mixed with tons of propaganda. in fact, it’s a coming-of-age type thing here when one has read enough history to understand the real version. basically there are hundreds of incidents that took place in gaining independence from the british (early 1900s), to the partition (1947), and the separate histories of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (post 1947) which are even more messy due to events like the Cold War and atomic race. This means there are three versions of history: colonial british, Indian and Pakistani. there are resources by leftists and communists but i haven’t seen anything in English or new because leftists were heavily persecuted in the 80s and have basically not produced literature since.

i’ll try to find if there’s something short and accurate enough, but if not you can use the wiki article on the partition to get an idea of the timeline.
