The merch looks nice but not 400$ nice.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 3 days ago:
All default subreddits are karma farms because bots need to farm certain karma level and account age before they can be used for propaganda and/or astroturfing.

With Apple right behind it.

This is not quite true because “dose makes the poison”. Foragers would have protocols to evaluate just by dosing. You can safely lick most berries and mushrooms and use that as a strong identifier.

Ah yes the classic trolley problem: 1,000 bees getting bullied or a dead cow. Very useful.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 2 weeks ago:
Thats not how world markets work though. 20% of meat eaters turning vegan would compound vegan movement more than 50% less meat consumed. The former grows vegan market explicitly while the latter just maybe shrinks the meat market only.
- Comment on I slander Java too lmao. I'm sure Java devs have the last laugh when their paychecks come in, tho 2 weeks ago:
Kinda dead language outside of corporate maintenance. There’s really no reason to use Java when Kotlin and all other flavors exist.

- Comment on German joke 3 weeks ago:
Honestly american humor has been on massive decline in the last 20 years despite increase of the overall comedy market. Particularly american standup is so bad these days despite bringing in stadiums of people. It’s so cringe.

If you actually care it’s a good time. It has never been as easy to learn and get into software engineering as it is today.

The thing is - you can have convenience without sacrificing all that.

I don’t care about bandwidth but it’s clearly worse technology. Pointing to a physical target and exchanging physical tokens is straight up better technology. This is functional regression.
I like how Japan solved the cash overhead with automatic cash change machines everywhere - this is the right solution for payment processing and updating menus is easy.

This is spreading to the rest of the world too. I just came back from Singapore and encountered this exact scenario several times. I just get up and leave- can’t be bothered would rather eat a mini mart sandwich then.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 month ago:
You didn’t even make a sound argument let alone a reasonable one.
Relaity is China got out of poverty in spite of CCP not because of it. If they had democracy like Taiwan they’d be more rich AND more free.

Again you move the goalpost. Sad that you spend so much effort just to boot lick. I hope you get paid at least 🙏

Lol keep moving the goal post boot licker

All I did is call you out that you can’t draw conclusions from n=1 of a policy so you can’t attribute chinese authoritarian policy for “getting people out of poverty”. So your glazing of Chinese autocrats is exactly that - glazing.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 1 month ago:
What?? Then why even discuss anything about anything?
I’m confused by your reply here. This is entirely limited to this scenario of false attribution. As we can’t verify this in any meaningful extend due to - as you yourself pointed out - every country and culture being invredibly different. So why are you OK with attributing success to chinese policy but not failure?
At the end of the day the historic justification magic doesn’t matter. I see today how unjust and miserable China is despite what tiktok might paint you. Not having internet is my litmus test and China fails this, I don’t understand how can people justify this. And please don’t try to diminish the great firewall of China - it’s really fucking bad.

Taiwan received substantial foreign aid from the US because of it’s strategic value against the mainland
And? China literally owns the 2nd largest land mass in the world. So which variables are allowed in this math and which aren’t? Maybe if you give us a list we can defeat your delusion more swiftly.

And lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty over the span of 40 years, can you name a more successful policy, ever, in all of history?
Democracy. I really hate this untestable argument as if we could go back in time and do A|B test to see which framework would have lifted people out of poverty the fastest. Taiwan is richer and more free than China despite being democratic, so is Japan, South Korea - what now? Which dicks do we measure and do we start at the balls or just the shaft?

Did you have covid? Long covid has made people lethargic and I have some friends who still only recently fully recovered.
Either way this is serious issue and you should see a doctor. This is not normal aging.

Nah so tired of incels and losers running the world. Yall need to start taking some responsibility

You have to remember the British rules over us for centuries and all our grandparents want to do is to imitate them.
is yours?
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
yes instead whine how you have no opportunities with one the most privileged passport in the world. Skill issue, no one can help you at this point if you can’t take advantage of all advantages you are given.

College is not only about a degree it’s part of our social culture and you’re making your child miss out on that due to fear.
- Comment on Anon is 23 1 month ago:
Anon is a loser and it shows. Instead of doing something with free rent and free time he “jerks off and watches tv”. He doesn’t even have any responsibilities so what stopping them from picking up and going there the job market is? You can get a low paying good job anywhere around the world just by the virtue of being a westerner. Sure you won’t be buying super cars but you’ll grow, experience life, do something rather than whine on racist boards like a little bitch.

Would rather live in a giant vase than contribute to prison industrial complex.

Nah man I understood your comment and you do defer responsibility to “british ruling us for centuries and old people trying to imitate them” as if rape was not a big problem in the region for hundreds of years. I hate colonizers as much as anyone else but when it comes to this issue it’s not that.
