Hey, if you trust them, that’s on you. I verify my sources, and when I put my trust in someone I don’t do it lightly. But if your source is talking about stamping kids, then I guess that’s on you to verify.

Edit: Awww, you got banned. Well, I guess I’ll see you around, though I doubt you’ll have learned your lesson.

How do you know dog shit tastes bad? Report back with your findings.

Don’t need to personally experience everything, just have people you trust.

You don’t have to criticize them to be under their thumb. China is consistently rated one of the least free countries in the world. People tend to think that America is a bad place to live, but that’s the double-edged sword of media being US-centric. China is an oppressive regime. It’s not even close. I won’t say that everyone that lives in China has it bad, he might do just fine, but on the whole, it’s not a great place to be, and even if you aren’t on their bad side now, one slip up can land you on the shitlist for life.

Surely this won’t come back to bite him or his family…

Same for me. The only thing that’s awkward is when I try to explain something I saw “on the Reddit alternative I use.” I still can’t get my friends to understand Lemmy.

Yeah, when the two immortal robbers try to steal Wall-E’s treasures and he deals gross bodily slapstick horrors to them for the sake of a gag.

Not again!

Hell yeah! Let’s go!

Dude has to have enough money to afford a fucking Uber…

I’m not sure what your argument is here.

You just described the exact problem. Corporations chasing cheap supply, consumers following because they have no choice, and somehow ethics never gets to be anyone’s department. That’s not a counterargument, that’s the mechanism.

Yeah, we should definitely start buying Chinese…

Edit: Everyone wants to boycott Microsoft, or the entirety of the US because of the reason du jour, but when China comes up, it’s all dickriding Emperor Pooh Bear. Do you all have any idea the atrocities that China carries out on a daily basis? I’m not talking about surveillance and sweatshops. I’m talking about genocides. Plural. Ongoing. No one likes to talk about it because we rely on Chinese goods for all our cheap Temu products or what the fuck ever, but every tiktok you scroll is another penny into the death machine. So, yeah, give them another area of commercial dominance. Surely that won’t fund the death of another ethnic group.

Didn’t have Cucumber Futures on my 2026 bingo card, but sure, I’ll take it.

I need someone to discover a deep love for Jodie Foster.

I literally said this as soon as I heard about Venezuela. He’s gonna go after Columbia, and then he’s going for the Panama Canal. If anyone is surprised by this, they haven’t been paying attention.

So, when we gonna look at Congressional stock records and see who bought Chevron shortly before this went down?

Don’t argue with the the religious zealots. The believe an invisible man in the sky made everything, but won’t bother to wonder why he isn’t putting a stop to all of the atrocities carried out around the world.

Yeesh, the bots are out in force over this one. Gonna be a bumpy ride.

I’d love to give it another chance, but the kernel doesn’t have support for my network card, so I just have to wait…
