The real reason is the bass frequencies perturb their flight causing them to be too disoriented to mate or eat.

Apologies, I often forget I'm an extremely poor communicator in a community filled with intelligent neurodivergent people, and I need to contextualize better.

China had built its entire country from a peasant-tiddled backwater shithole to the manufacturing powerhouse of the world, from two simple steps:
1) Steal as much of the Westerners' intellectual property as one is capable of. Fuck you and your copyright laws, but if you steal China's IP ideas, that's unacceptable.
2) Exploit the peasants like slave labor and try your best to pay them as such.

- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 2 weeks ago:
How would one working at said company who wants to work NOT get laid off? Is it simply luck, or does one need to manually suck every dick that exists in the company to remain an employee? Like, what's the point of ever doing a competent job if they plan to cut you anyways?

I agree with you but: What incentive do they have to reveal the thing that makes their product competitive to other brands for those others to steal their idea just because you want to know about it?

It feels like they tried to make a PG/kids version of Red Dead Redemption with aliens, poorly written characters and a glitch-infested game engine as cheap as legally possible without being called slave labor.

That's what a single-party government, where NIMBYs have no power, can do.

- Comment on Perspective 5 weeks ago:
Reading the threads on this post of people convinced the mattress is at the top of the stairs makes me understand why people can't recognize AI generated fake images and fall for propaganda so easily.
It's clearly at the bottom of a stairwell, but the amount of people convinced it's not really bothers me for some reason, enough to feel extremely apathetic of other people on the internet and assures me most people in real life lack sense to put trust in society eventually being healthy again, and I can't elaborate further why because I don't understand why.
