Close, but that metaphor was not equating either country with a serial killer, I was merely pointing out that one party’s use of bombs does not necessarily make them worse than another party who does not use bombs. Sorry you’re bad at reading

And also, it’s not the infrastructure or clean energy that gets people to not like china, it’s all the censorship and oppression

I haven’t actually met or talked to a lot of Chinese people, on account of not speaking the language, and the Great Firewall. I wonder why that’s there

You’ve acknowledged that I’m allowed to say things that don’t actually threaten the US government. Does comparing Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh actually threaten the Chinese government?

Lmao “free speech that doesn’t threaten the government is tolerated everywhere”

This statement would still be true if you were talking about Oceania. It’s totally meaningless. Who decides what speech threatens the government? The government. I can say fuck Joe Biden, fuck Donald Trump, and fuck every member of Congress and the Supreme Court. Can you point me towards someone living in China who’s comfortable openly saying “fuck Xi Jinping?”

Ted Kaczinsky dropped sixteen bombs, while Ted Bundy didn’t drop a single one. I guess that means Kaczinsky is worse?

Here’s the article. Imagine losing access to everything that your physical driver’s license can’t help you get back. I would be in jail for one reason or another if google fucked my life over that bad

As for Mark, Ms. Lilley, at Google, said that reviewers had not detected a rash or redness in the photos he took and that the subsequent review of his account turned up a video from six months earlier that Google also considered problematic, of a young child lying in bed with an unclothed woman.

Mark did not remember this video and no longer had access to it, but he said it sounded like a private moment he would have been inspired to capture, not realizing it would ever be viewed or judged by anyone else.

They could have just made this up wholesale. What is Mark gonna do about it? He literally doesn’t have access to the video they claim incriminates him, and the police department has already cleared him of any wrongdoing. Google is just being malicious at this point.

I guess I should have said we don’t make friends with them. I could have also drawn attention to the awful living conditions, but getting all Dominion-y wouldn’t have the pizzazzy oomph that I was going for

It definitely only got popular because of the hype re: “Pokemon with guns,” but it’s legitimately better than the game it actually copied, which is Ark. You know what’s cool about Palworld? Me and my coplayer were able to stop playing without losing everything we’ve built

Anyone who thinks Palworld is actually a Pokemon ripoff either hasn’t played Palworld or hasn’t played Pokemon

I don’t need to come up with any revolutionary ideas, the open source folks are already creating without patenting their creations

Here’s a revolutionary idea: universal basic income. No need to prevent other people from monetizing your idea if you don’t need to monetize your idea in the first place

legally not Pokemon

You mean Digimon? Or Monster Rancher? Or Cassette Beasts? Or Temtem? Or Shin Megami Tensei? Or Kingdom Hearts DDD? Or Ark? Or Yo-kai Watch? Or Telefang?

A shitty solution for a shitty situation is not a good solution

The butchering thing always bugged me. Where tf do you think your chicken nuggies come from? The only difference is that we don’t let real animals have friends before we kill em

If it had as many 2 minute long tutorials on youtube explaining exactly the feature I was looking for as F360 does, FreeCAD would be the best case software

here a mislabeled “security update” was auto-installed.

To be fair, you would have to read all the way to the first paragraph to get this information from the article. Hard to blame people for not knowing this critical bit of information when it was buried so deep

Edit: removed implied support for Hamas. Both militaries should burn. Hope for a quick end to the conflict for the sake of the civilians affected.
