Propaganda is usually truthful or exaggerated truth. It’s the framing that is important. Some facts are focused on. Some facts are omitted.
I acknowledge that Russia, China and the DPRK have made mistakes and even done things that are deeply questionable. But I’m interested in comparing their mistakes or misguided actions to those of the most powerful military empire on earth. The one involved in hundreds of military actions and dozens of coups since its inception. The one with the largest per capita prison population on earth. The one which controls many of the world’s financial levers.
There is a difference in the scale of their mistakes or bad actions. Propaganda distorts that difference of scale. It focuses on the crimes of the “enemies” / “axis of evil” / “rogue states” but doesn’t examine context or culpability of the empire. They’ll choose one conflict, downplay 9 others, and give a one-sided view of that one conflict.
That’s how propaganda works. Every state produces propaganda. One state produces billions of dollars of propaganda each year.
I use Keepass2Android. Is there some reason Keepassxc is better, or just an alternative?
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is straight up State department propaganda.
Don’t eat between meals to re-establish your saliva microbiome and pH. This will do a lot for prevention of carie growth.
Calculator?! Those thieving, energy-sucking piles of garbage! Abacus till I die!
But seriously, AI is insidious in how it data mines us to give us answers, and data mines our questions to build profiles of users. I distrust assurances of anonymity by big data corpos.
They have noses worthy of being our successor species. Something you’d see on the cover of a sci-fi novel called “Children of Earth” or something…
Would be funny if Boeing started cutting corners with their hitmen, too.

Someone could build an army of clones of you, launch galactic war, and then you’d be hated all over the galaxy. Assuming you have good genes. Probably they made a bad movie about this.
Went downstairs and had a cup
Municipal drinking water is tested multiple times per day in Toronto, as it should be. Testing once and assuming the complex machinery and chemical levels are the same a week later is pure folly.
Note that this is different from testing well water, which shouldn’t change much. Testing well water once a year is a good idea though.
Judas Unchained by Peter F Hamilton, which is book 2. Book 1 in the series is Pandora’s Star.
Space opera.
I’m listening to a 44 hour audio book on YouTube.
Jelly beans. The fancy ones with many flavours like butter, apple, and cinnamon.
You’ll surely have those bean flavours to talk about, if nothing else.
