IKR. I want to know what kind of spicy take got it blocked.

I went to Mander, since .ml is blocked in China.

Liberals must believe the free market is socially just.

NATOpedia is a great resource if you go in with an assumption of a pro-western bias, but a source of truth lmao.

No, because the lowest-level voter typically has less direct knowledge of higher level politician or policy than the guy who has to work with them.

I don’t think tiered representation is bad if 1: every person’s vote is equal regardless of zip code 2: you have instant recall and can just have a representative replaced if they vote against their constituency wishes.

Holder+video call. Seeing Hanoi traffic or w/e makes people so much more appreciative of why I cant talk.

Just make sure you’ve got a good phone protector and really wrench that thing tight.

Same with my dad and sister, except she would only call if he was on a ladder or in heavy traffic or on hold, or otherwise unable to safely take a call.

The bath tub has a tray with fancy chocolate and a glass of wine. Lavender petals sit atop the ice.

Taiwan’s official name, that their government calls itself, is “the republic of china”, “china” covers both places just fine.

That’s what they said

TikTok IS spying on you.

1. No more so than any other social media app, and as someone who lived in America at the time, China having my data was far less threatening than America having my data.

2. Tiktok duplicated their server infrastructure just for America so no American data would leave the country.

3. See the thing about boosting what the state department wanted boosted and censoring what they told them to censo. Tiktok isn’t Chinese propaganda, it’s American propaganda.

But it’s true that the evil CCP is no longer communist: just totalitarian crony capitalist.

The CPC’s tendency to favor the working class over capital suggests otherwise; they’ve raised a billion people out of poverty, while India is a net exporter of food but still has children dying of hunger-related diseases. When a baby formula factory in China killed or sickened a dozen babies due to greed and gross negligence, they took the executives out back and shot them, and opened the market up to foreign imports. When the same thing happened in the US, nobody went to jail and the US didn’t even approve EU imports of formula because that would hurt the profits of the company that had just murdered literal babies.

I would never call China a utopia, but you have to actually understand a thing if you want to make meaningful criticisms of it.

Alright, that’s a start, but maybe we workshop the name a bit.

This is the natural progression.

They started hiring a bunch of natsec ghouls when Trump tried to ban them in 2020, and increased it under Biden when the dems jumped on the “tiktik is spying on you! Evil CCP is turning the youth into communists!” Bandwagon, and started algo boosting right-wing content under Trump pt II.

196 is that way.

steaming hot cups of milk and sugar without any bitter, nasty coffee

OK, but what about the opposite, like a shot of coldbrew coffee, served almost frozen, with 300 mg of powdered caffeine?

So you need all the parm to soak up the butter.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

So communal baths are right out?

Between high rent and low wages, 99% of americans do not and could never have the funds to go 4 years without income. Are you really that disconnected?
