Large Bullfrog

This is a smart move, as the US was trying position China into middling complacency by allowing them to access Nvidia chips but banning China from accessing the leading edge ones. Banning Nvidia all together prevents this and forces domestic Chinese chip makers to go full throttle on their own innovation.

“With or without gang violence?”

“Yes.”

I used to work in a tech store and I can confirm the shift. The stuff that says “Made in China” now are things like laptops, hard drives, drones, TVs, game consoles etc. while basic and cheap products like toys and clothes are now made in other countries.

China and Vietnam mending ties, India and China mending ties, thank you orange man.

I’m even seeing some Redditors on non-political subreddits praising China’s handling of AI compared to the US. Not long ago it would have been a very tall order to find anyone saying anything pro-China whatsoever on Reddit outside of very specific places like r/sino.

This is why I keep saying that electricity generation is a much more reliable measure of a country’s overall economic strength then GDP, countries will naturally find ways to consume as much electricity as they can and there is much less room for voodoo in the calculations. That would place China at already being over 2x the size of the US economy and place Russia as the 4th largest economy rather then the 11th behind countries like Canada and Italy which is just plain absurd.

A full and comprehensive film about Unit 731 would be up there with movies like Human Centipede 2 in terms of being dark and disturbing. The shit they did was cruel even by Axis standards.

Not surprising to me in the least, Spotify has been consistently showing their colors and all you need to do is look how big they were in being pro-ukraine in 2022. A complete no go for me.

Yes but I think most libs would superficially agree that the Vietnam war was a mistake. Praising the Vietnam war as something good is more of a hard right chud thing.

Appropriate- Condemning past wars

Inappropriate- Condemning present wars

You are free to go wherever you wish in the maze we carefully engineered.

Don’t forget about bullshit like scalping. I worked in retail during the release of the ps5 and I got to witness it first hand, the same few names would keep coming up on the orders.

Georgia? Tell me again who is sanctioning them and trying to encourage insurrection because their government isn’t playing ball?

Yeah, it’s like their transitioning from a commodity backed currency to a fiat currency instead except with social compliance instead. Instead of having people’s loyalty be backed by tangible material benefits, now their saying fuck it, we will rely purely on psychological manipulation instead.

A liberal by my simple definition is someone who doesn’t recognize class at any meaningful level, which inevitably translates dictatorship of the bourgeois since wealth and capital will naturally translate to political power without a dictatorship of the proletariat in place to counter it. A fascist likewise does recognize class dynamics, but thinks it’s a good thing that certain minorities and sections of society are being exploited.

War, war has changed.

Older people in capitalist countries are more conservative because everyone that isn’t a beneficiary of the status quo is dead from having no healthcare by the time they get old.

When I played the Final Fantasy X remaster some time ago it honestly felt strange to play a “complete” out of the box game again. I got reminded of how it felt to actually organically discover secrets and challenge content.

The burden is less about being right or wrong, and more about having to hear the same generic anti-communist talking points be parroted over, and over, and over, and over and over again, day after day, everyday.

Reaper: It is time to go.

Israel: Do you condemn Hamas?
