  Not a woman but- No that actually makes a lot of sense :)

  I’m from neither the US nor Canada, and in my case it certainly isn’t a matter of projection. I’m sure things have been getting a lot better for many people in China. However, it is still the case that China has a lot of human rights issues which are simply not as widespread in a lot of Western countries, the US included. And due to nation wide systems, such as hukou, it is very difficult for the population in poorer, rural areas to work legally in more affluent areas where the pay is higher. My understanding is that this has led to large scale “illegal migration” within the country’s borders, where workers are paid far less (sometimes not getting paid at all), work under poor conditions, and suffer abuses at the hands of their employers with little to no legal recourse due to their illegal status. China is a very inequitable society, and a lot of the misery that its less rich and powerful citizens have to deal with goes unnoticed by the rest of the world (and indeed the rest of its population), because we see stuff like this and are impressed by China’s progress. And no doubt that there’s actually been progress in a lot of areas, but the somewhat tired “at what cost?” question is still as pertinent as ever.

  None of this is a defense of the US or Canada. Just saying that for the average person, China is probably a worse place to live and to work in.

  Tbf South Korea has plenty of economic, demographic, and social problems as well. Still miles better than North, but saying that only the North doesn’t work is not really accurate.

  What’s up with all the China hype on Lemmy? These projects are impressive, no doubt, but their cost in terms of human rights violations are pretty high. I’m speaking generally, I don’t have the specifics with regards to this subway system. Either way it’s not really comparable to a project like this in a country like Canada imo.

  I think I will switch to Linux, possibly dual boot with Win 11 just in case there are games I can’t play on Linux.

  Or, you know, if you read the prompt before sending, look at the question after you’ve selected it, or just read your own work once. This method will only work if students are being really stupid about cheating.

  Tbh my only gripe with this post is the assumption that because a man is explaining something to a group of women, it’s automatically mansplaining. Although I guess it’s a joke so whatever.

  I don’t think etiher is implied here, but sure, I suppose it can be a conversation starter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, that’s one of my main goals in life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can definitely see the point if it’s literally all there is in the feed, but if you just watch things from people you disagree with from time to time, and the algorithm picks up on it, there’s bound to be a few things in your feed that might “look bad” if they are used to draw conclusions about your worldview from someone who doesn’t know you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I’m gonna ask to see her browser history “because it’s a good test for red flags.” Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.

  I’m genuinely curious about how the average interaction went, given that you weren’t immediately turned away.

  People have to be able to question the motive of content without being accused of “stirring the pot”. Personally I really appreciated that the comment you replied to was posted, as it led you to reply to it, so that I could get more context and information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon practices time management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  True. I have a tendency to behave like this when it comes to work like this, and whenever I do it almost always leads to a bunch of unnecessary stress. It has genuinely made me better at solving problems on the fly, but I don’t need that skill as much when I just plan a little better and actually stick to it.

  What is that?

  The past tense of yeet is yöted

  Maybe a word which likens it to how water flows in a river? How about rivering?
