SailorMoss@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•The NYT hates peaceful protestEnglish2·18 days agoMen make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
I would agree no country is perfect with regards to being completely anti-imperialist. All nation-states have an interest in building empire.
Having said that just because we live in a world that incentives competition between nation-states, that does not mean the world as is, is inevitable or eternal. Just because an ideal doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean it’s not an ideal worth striving for. Things can change and it is worth striving towards a world with better human relations.
Having said that, some examples of more positive relations do exist.
One could point to the international healthcare initiatives from Cuba as a positive example of non-imperialist relations to aspire towards.
While China is far from perfect, they have made small positive steps with the Belt and Road Initiative by offering better terms to developing countries than historical international investments initiatives such as the IMF and the World Bank. If leaders in western liberal democracies want to compete with China and offer developing countries terms with even better environmental and labor standards for mining operations or otherwise; I view that as an unmitigated win for human relations.
Unfortunately, from where I’m sitting, it seems like leaders in western liberal democracies are more interested in competing with China in military terms rather than in labor or environmental terms.
The secret is you gotta get ‘em in the freezer before they go soggy.

Counter-counter-point: Greta is a story of violence against a pretty white girl which all else being equal would normally mean big media attention in western media. But it isn’t getting much attention because it doesn’t play into the interests of the western corpo-state.
Contrast the coverage of what happened to Greta to the recent shooting of the Israeli diplomats.

Economist 1 says to economists 2: I’ll give you $100 if you let me kick you in the balls.
Economist 2 says “sure”
Then economist 1 kicks economists 2 in the balls and gives him $100.
They continue walking and see a big pile of shit.
Economist 2 says to economist 1: I’ll give you $100 if you eat that pile of shit.
Economist 1 says “sure”, eats the pile of shit and economists 2 gives economists 1 his $100 back.
They continue walking, eventually economist 2 asks “What was the point of what we just did?”
Economist 1 responds “We just increased GDP by $200.”
That does sound like Luigi, always willing to lend a helping hand.

SailorMoss@sh.itjust.worksto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Soon, You May Be Able To Play Diddy Kong Racing Natively On Your PC | Time ExtensionEnglish3·2 months agoI’m surprised no one ever tried to compile all the hacks into a single open source plugin or emulator. There are only around 400 retail games for the N64 which seems pretty manageable to have some sort of game detection ruleset for various hacks.
It seems like in recent years N64 emulation is finally improving somewhat with lower level emulation like the parallel64 core in retroarch.
Long term decompilation is the better solution regardless but it’s going to take a good amount of time to decompile all the games of significance for the N64.

Wow, I was wrong I thought people changed their minds based on evidence. But based on this evidence, I don’t believe people change their minds based on evidence.
