  • Because the world Bank and IMF fucked them when they resisted selling off their country through outside investments, leading to their currency being debased and ultimately giving them weak footing for international trade

    They’ve never really recovered from that, and they’ve also flitted back and forth between wildly different economic interventions desperately trying to fix things




  • And that’s why I left the church. Priest kept drumming up hatred for little zero reason

    Been getting more involved with a small non-denominational church over the last few months though. The pastor really steps back when to earth when he gets off the little stage, just back to being a normal guy

    I love community and hate hate… There’s no room for hate within me, I won’t let that poison taint me

    A domain is a url, like oaksprout.com. A provider is a server/computer that the domain points at. Many services sell both together at an upcharge, but a domain itself usually costs like ~$15 a year

    If an IP address is a mailing address, imagine a domain as a way to pay the post office so people can just address it to oaksprout. You could have them forward your mail to your house, or you could send it to a PO box or business address, and change it whenever you want

    The provider is like the mailbox in this metaphor… It receives the mail and holds it for you







  • Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

    The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

    Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper
