  • FriendBesto from the future here. Dev, decided to call it quits. He thought it was time to move on with his life. No discord, it was just time. He will continue to support a few selected projects.

    This post is just for people even more in the future who may wonder what happened. and want to look it up.





  • Yeah, saw him making the point at his presentation at the WEF’s Davos a little while ago. WEF doing WEF things. It blows my mind that despite so many people who think the WEF’s weird technocratic dystopia wetdreams are some weird conspiracy, all you have to do to see what they are all about and how true it all is, is to go through their site, reading between the lines of their white papers and past their creep, overly positive marketing and slogans, or watch their YT channel.


  • That’s the point. But when Israel demands the Palestinians to be forcefully removed, they will exclaim that the pier can be used to have them ported out. To say, the EU or USA. Since removing them has always been the point. Thatich has been clear since the beginning of their invasion of Gaza, killing 35,000+ and herding them into that direction. The issue is if they will get away with it and the rest of the West will allow it. Or they will demand that Egypt takes them, which they won’t unless maybe they get we debt forgiven plus cash. Which I still doubt they will, Egypt is financially broke and has crazy debt anday not want to take millions of refugees.



  • If we follow Trudeau’s trend as of late, he is likely to blame this on Russia. He seems to blame external and internal threats and simple fuck ups of his administration all on Russia. He would blame China but he is currently embroiled in an ineptitude scandal where China helpep manipulate elections, seemingly mostly in his party’s favour. Despite the point of it was to seemingly vote CCP friendly MP’s/politcians from differents parties, details are skerchy. Investigations on it continue, but the Liberals are stalling, for exact cause unknown.

    Point is that it would be good if he stated that Israel doing this is not alright at all, but he won’t. Even if an activation of Article 5 was never on the table. Which is understandable.


  • Really? Name a single policy change that was drafted by BLM that went on beyond chants or slogans? There were none, 0, zip. I checked. Screaming loudly is not really useful in this regard.

    By that I mean an actual bill or proposal with actual numbers or data that backed it up, that could have been submitted to a vote by say a city council or State goverment. There were none. BLM, outside chants and causing $2 billion dollars worth of damage, dozens if not hundreds of dead people and making some BLM founders wealthy, did not achieve anything in terms of smart policy changes. Last time I checked out of the $90+ millions in donations, BLM staff could not fully account for about $30-$40 million. And that was like two years I go that I checked. BLM was an idealistic grift, at its core. Some mansions had been bought and some of the founders had hired lovers and family as their staff, with paid travel and food expenses. Who knows what else. One had hired her baby’s dady as head of security because, why not? Most people never bother to look up this up because unless the way BLM presented itself, either you were a sycophant or you were a biggoted racist if you questioned or criticised them on anything. Whether criticism was valid or not, did not matter, until recently, when people sems more even minded about discussing it.

    NYC and other cities briefly dropped some cop funding and all that did in the end was for crime to go up. NYC subway now needs metal detectors and the national guard was called in recently due to the uptick in violent crime.

    At best some shallow, meaningless changes like a mural or a rainbow or BLM flag painted on a street, hell, maybe even a street name change or something akin to that, and in some cases, it just increased crime and looting statistics in the aggregate in numerous cities. Sorry bro, this is reality.

    It also increase social tension and some distrust between races, which ain’t good, either. I dare say that racism, from all races went up since 2016. Won’t fully blame BLM for this but the movement sure did not help.











  • It is not stupid, it is removed. Tree roots, with time, will dig through/break concrete. Unless the trees are heavily hindered from the get go. Either way it will lead to leaks unless heavily controlled since even small roots with enough time can damage the building structure if allowed. This is a well known issue and not one you want 20 stories up at this scale.

    The soil will lose nutrients, so unless everyone there how to compost constantly, then fertilisers will be needed to keep them alive, do you want that in your balcony?

    The whole notion of doing this is outright irresponsible from an architecture and lifestyle perspective outside saying, "Look it has green on it, and hoping people are stupid enough to fall for it.
