Nice, bundling them together is also a great move. Evil, corrupt fucks, draining their nations, fueling violence.

Yes please. I dislike when cars explode on the road in a puff of toxic smoke. (Nothing against EVs, everything against Chinese ones)

The thing is that Steam doesn’t have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don’t criticize them.

Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don’t trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.

Also a worker that doesn’t have to waste time on bureaucracy and healthcare considerations has more time to be productive.

Going one step deeper, at the source, it’s oligarchy and companies owning the law and in consequence also its enforcement.

How about you address his logic instead of going full ad personum.

You likely see this as a ramblings because barely anyone thinks about confucianism in modern times.

But it was state enforced for a while in multiple countries and left it’s mark in strict social hierarchies, blind subservience to one’s parents and focus on collective and ignoring individual needs and problems. Those reverberate in modern times and make the countries what they are now.

Bribes with a noted demand to give them infinite duration patents and IP rights probably.

But they have the testicles of their soon to be born sons.

I would say whether it’s greater than 1 or lesser than 1 is inconclusive without accurate data .

You would need to find out whether amount of men with removed testicles is greater than amount of women pregnant with a boy (after the average week when testicles appear). Also men to women ratio in global population needs to be accounted for.

For the solar panels - was it reported by an independent organization or reported by China?

I am afraid it’s the same fake metric as with the electric scooters earlier. China subsidized them, so companies vastly overproduced dinky scooters to milk subsidies, inflate their numbers and inflate connected sharing businesses with a huge fleets. Those now sit in huge piles of electrowaste, which predictably explode in a beautiful toxic lithium fires 🔥.

Same happened earlier with cheap electric bikes and motorbikes.

Same happened earlier with cheap electric cars.

And we are talking here only about mountains of overproduction that cannot be hidden. God knows how much of the number was inflated along the chain of reporting, as is customary in China.

If they quit for another job it means that people are heavily underpaid for the amount of effort, stress, knowledge and experience they have. It’s not that those who quit are worth less. It’s those who are left that are undervaluing their hard work, but are too used to the frankly abnormal routine of hospital work (or have circumstances that make it difficult to leave).

Are we the baddies?

most Gen Z men are lack the social and communication skills to even enter a relationship

Interesting choice of words. I’d say it borders misandry.

I don’t think that decrease in social skills of the younger generation influenced solely boys.

That being said it’s definitely a greater issue for them, since they are expected to initiate and organize almost everything in the initial phase of relationship. Maybe that’s what you meant.

What I’ve seen (in admittably limited experience) is a decrease of skills all over the board combined with lack of patience and will to improve together.

Based on Exit Poll of TVN24 from that time (so not an official gov statistics, I’m not sure if they can release any) in 2019 60.8% of men voted. 61.5% of women.

I absolutely agree that they can (looking only at military capability) wipe the floor with Palestine with indiscriminate bombardment in a few days.

But saying that not using that ability means they do enough to avoid civilian casualties is a pretty big jump in logic.

Military ability isn’t everything, geopolitics and market dependance exist. if they actually did that immediately, the response from international community wouldn’t be as mild as it’s now. So they actually can’t.

What I am saying is that there’s a full gradient of effort when it comes to avoiding or encouraging civilian casualties (and not giving a damn about them is in the middle).

The voices of Israeli ruling politicians before and after the start of this year’s conflict doesn’t exactly inspire a confidence that enough is being done to prevent them. Some used strategies even increase them unnecessarily with doubtful military gains.

I don’t think that things are black and white here. But I have to agree a little.

Israel did become a nationalistic autocracy and has deeply corrupt leadership. Still, not doing anything when they were attacked on the scale Hamas recently did, would be just stupid.

The problem is that they should have kept the civilian casualties to minimum. Ideally under the amount of Israelis that died tho deflate grudges over time and show some degree of good will.

Then again Hamas has never shown such incentive. And differentiating between Palestine civilians and Hamas collaborators or members is not an easy binary task.

Exactly what I was going to say. If it’s anything like in Poland, a typical neo-natzi is either:

1. a politician doing it to find their niche
2. a paid actor that somehow despite promoting nationalism says that we should stop supporting Ukraine, it’s full of bad Nazis, and shouldn’t be a country
3. a complete moron that follows one of the above and can speak three quarters of a language.

1 Doesn’t give a fuck. 2 Does it mainly for money. 3 Can’t distinguish anything.

Though again, someone could have told the number 3. what to do.

He’s the owner. He won’t.

And US for profit shithole prison camps are 5 star hotels compared to Russian ones. Let’s just say that a good proportion of Russian prisoners have HIV. At the same time they don’t ask nicely when they forcefully pass it around.

Probably far less than it is. Number sheets coming from any non easily verifiable, complicated reporting made in China are an estimate in the favor of the reporter. Cheating one another and especially the system is a national sport.
