On the other side stand the millions of the disinherited. They are forced to beg the moneybags for permission to work for them. By their labour they create all wealth; yet…they…struggle for a crust of bread, beg for work as for charity, sap their strength and health by back-breaking toil

We just got off the bus, and thought this would be a safer option!

Can confirm, as others have stated, it’s a regional thing. I pronounce it “booey" (grew up near/in Philly).

When I briefly lived in the mid-west people attempted to correct me and said it was pronounced “boy.”

Is this not the case with most companies?

AI in particular, but I assume that the vast majority of companies take things without paying until they get caught.

What’s described would be a European/US war that would likely bring in Canada and Australia, but that’s _not_ the world in the way it was in prior world wars.

Which is why I used the “white people problem” framing in my first comment.

I went back to specifically read the non-Europe implications, and the only things mentioned were:
1. Taiwan and the possibility of China taking advantage of a distracted US.
2. North Korea maybe doing _something_
3. Japan and South Korea potentially developing nukes

I may very well need to read it again, but I think some of the premises are flawed.

I’m not generally of this mindset, but the whole World War III angle sounds very “white people problem” to me.

Like outside of the US attacking other countries, why would any other country join in?

China isn’t Imperial Japan and there aren’t colonies for Europe to drag into this.

Part 2

I once absentmindedly clicked on a an auto-dubbed Hololive clip. Expected to hear Rindo Chihaya’s voice, and then heard “something” else instead. Q_Q

Youtube is just full of AI landmines now. >_>

Also, very American to believe that people only want to experience things in one language.

“…a resistance wing dominated by Gavin [Newsome].”

The fuck? On what planet?
