- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 4 weeks ago:
A lot of nonsense apologia in these comments. Motivated reasoning and carefully cherry-picked sources. A fixation on the long history of western imperialist propaganda. Edgy contrarianism, ultimately.
What you won’t see much of:
Direct and lengthy criticism of China (the kind that isn’t just damage control)
Citations from respectable research journals
Teens and Chinese agents, it is late, go to bed, you’ve got TikTok tomorrow.

To the whippersnapper software devs: stop writing code, just pick a framework and colour in the lines! Makes me lol watching you create your artisanal spaghetti

There’s so much good music in this city. Unexpected for a place that is at the end of the world. Hell yeah Melbourne.

Valve is going to be a significant contributor to the death of Windows. Legit one man’s integrity is going to bring an end to a literal monopoly as adjudicated in the late 90’s. Hail gaben.

To me, this is the simplest and most plausible explanation.
Somewhat related but it’s odd to me how many people I’ve met that feel so strongly negatively about him. Maybe as a herd instinct to warn others?
He wasn’t exceptionally selfish as he had no serious responsibilities.

I recently left an Aussie company whose shot caller was someone who was massively in favour of the social media ban and kept close tabs on her teenage kids’ phones. Ran the company like that, and it’s going under.

What’s up with cashiers in coffee shops not listening when they ask for my order?
I wait for them to ask, I announce it loudly and clearly. They interrupt. I confirm. I go on to item two. They confirm. I confirm.
Then, they apologise and try to guess item one again. They get it wrong. I correct them. They’ve got it.
Oh yeah, what was item two? Yes, that’s right.
Also, what’s the deal with not waiting even for a split second between me saying “flat white” and “with two sugars”?
I understand that coffee shops are loud and hectic, and I might have to repeat myself once in a while, but damn Melbourne, every time?
