  germany used to buy their uranium from France but also from Russia and China.

  Kazakhstan is going to remain neutral in any conflicts, and they produce shittons of uranium, so does Canada IIRC.

  There’s also a certain former French colonies looking to sell uranium at market rates, instead of the pennies the French were getting it for.

  Why?

  Glass houses. I don’t see you flying up the stairs.

  How have they affected government policy, beyond Roblox probably causing some laws being passed about exploitation and protection of minors?

  You have a point, I think the big thing FB failed to capitalize on is that someone who wants to use ChatVR or Roblox has to go into chatVR or roblox. FB had an opportunity to build an entire ecosystem they control, and they failed to get anyone inside of it.

  I genuinely have no idea how they managed to spend that much money and not get a single decent app. Horizons literally looked like a tech demo someone slapped together for a gamejam or something.

  there are other versions of the metaverse that work very well and are making money.

  What do you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The real selling point would be that everyone else is using it and you need to use it to interact with them, same with FB. How many people are still forced to maintain a FB account to talk to their boomer relatives?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  completely predictable outcome of an obviously stupid fucking idea

  Nah, it could have worked if Meta started by

  1. sell the hardware to businesses and schools at a loss, with a requirement users be able to take the sets home.

  2. Publish standards to allow all apps to have multiplayer and compatible full body avatars, same control scheme, movement, etc.

  3. buying up VRChat and any other apps with a large user base, refactoring them for compatibility.

  4. Develop and release free multiuser apps, from virtual office/meetings to virtual movies to home decor.

  Somehow FB didn’t even try to exploit the same effects that forced everyone into Apple, MS, and FB.

  The only problem I see is different slices have different numbers of pepperoni and different lengths of crust.

  Juipiter’s orbit wobbles it, as others said, the barycenter of the system is outside the sun’s radius, but the scale of the planets vs their orbits is so great such a small wobble is imperceptable if you can see multiple orbits.

  Don’t worry, you’ll learn more about those places during the war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  NATO is bad tho, because it allows the US to draw other countries into our imperialist wars and allows its members to threaten non-members with reletive impunity.

  To quote Blinken “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu”. A NATO without America could be benign tho.

  Any idea how Korea ended up with spicier food than Japan or 80% of China?

  dictator

  You can just say president, you don’t have to carry water for Trump.

  Voting is a 5 minute activity once every few years

  Local races>general primary>midterm primary>midterm election>general.

  Its genuinely more important you make sure another Biden doesn’t win the primary than to vote in the general. If a Biden or Harris does win, your vote in the general is useless since they’re unelectable, and if they still somehow win, they’re going to betray the base by continuing and expanding republican policies until the republicans are back in power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its literarary shorthand for “this comic is bad at their job.” No comedians actually say that, unless they’re referencing a hack comedian.

  Well then post some articles about whats been going on in tge Balkins, I’ve got a buddy in Belegrade

  Nah, preppers don’t grow their on food and do the community organizing required for security, they buy a months worth of food and 13 guns as a form of consumption. 2020 literally had those privileged fucks rioting to go to Applebee’s and get professional haircuts.

  Who? This isn’t happening to the fascists in control of Ukraine, most of the randos who got conscripted by force and are now getting got by drones and missiles while trying to hide in a swamp are just normal ass people who didn’t ask for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Theres no images of human bodies crushed by tanks in tiananmen square. Theres some who were shot on their bikes, in the surrounding streets, probably by police.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen the full video? Tank man climbs on top of the tank and starts yelling at the commander

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad Ganymede noises⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like tankie nonsense.

  Are you sure Taiwan hasn’t been an independent state with nothing to do with China forever, and China just wants to invade because its an evil dictatorship?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans are part of the ecosystem.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because thats where the most people are.

  No, they’re often less dense and smaller than residential areas, and more walkable, but they attract people who don’t give a shit because they’re in a mindset where they don’t give a shit. They require a lot more cleaning too.

  When you go to Asia

  Already there. Also you should be more specific, EA and even Central Asian countries are reasonably clean. When you’re talking about places with monumental amounts of trash, you mean SEA and India, and even there, lots of places aren’t like that.

  Places that are a bit more affluent tend to have the resources to dedicate to keeping the streets clean. Westerners on vacation don’t have an excuse.

  The Japanese are better than the westerners

  Maybe, in cities, but there’s a bit of a littering problem in more rural areas and in rivers. Also in the poorer areas of cities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans are part of the ecosystem.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  no littering sign. Only in Indonesian

  Not really related, but in Japan, I came across a monolingual sign that said: “In Japanese culture, it is considered impolite to piss in public”.

  Westerners don’t litter but the locals do

  Have you not seen how westerners behave on vacation? Maybe you got lucky, but there’s a reason the tourist part of nearly every city has the most litter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad Ganymede noises⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t semantics, the “China” they’re referring to is the same place, both governments claim to be the legitimate ruler of all of China, It’s not “The republic of one little island off China” and “The People’s Republic of all of China except that one little island”
