Sincerely, what is China going to do with it? Open a Chinese bank account in my name? If any institution in the us accepts account openings from a chinese or vpn ip address then it cant be trustworthy enough to ever affect me.

How about now that tel Aviv has been hit through the dome and us assistance?

The us isn’t invincible and Iran has shown that the iron dome can be cheaply over powered. Ukraine showed military technology isn’t that important on modern battle fields, and I doubt Israel is really prepared for a 10+ front war. The us isnt.

Oh I’m in .world, zios are here. I forgor

Genuinely why? They’re one of the least aggressive governments in the region, and not for lack of military resources.

By starting a war it’s destined to lose?

It is when the play store is not the only store allowed on devices. Their play services, with this change, are again acting as a monopoly, and again will be again be sued by the eu for violating anti trust laws.

Suspension exist, and if horses had built in suspension systems we wouldn’t have stopped using them.

Oppression Olympics does not excuse racism nor sexism.

Men are not the problem, rapists are. Black people are not the problem, poverty is.

If you can understand one, you can understand the other. If you have a problem with one, you’re a bigot, not a victim.

Stop defending bigotry and attack the actual problem, or get lumped in with the rest of the literal nazis saying the same thing you are, just with a different immutable characteristic in its place.

‘mexicans are rapists’ is the literally exact same rhetoric as ‘men are rapists.’ there is no difference whatsoever. It is as equally as disgusting. It is as equally wrong.

Men are not the oppressors, they are a gender like any other. Until you understand that you will never change a single thing and will just make the world worse.

Most murderers are black in the US, how are black people not the problem?

No, I want them to say rapists, or sexual assaulters. Not some men or most men or whatever bigoted excuse they have.

They have a problem with the actions, not the gender of the people that specifically victimized them.

Its not about the oppression dynamics of shit, it’s about not prejudging people based on immutable characteristics. Period.

Again, if we’re going to include any single type of incident over the life of a person, and then start to discriminate on the common perpetrator, you end up with bigotry regardless of that incident Or intent.

Its not ‘not all men’ it’s ‘not even a third of men.’ more black people as a percentage of total black people have assaulted someone than the percentage of men that have sexually assaulted someone, so we should look into profiling black people for violence and work to correct the systemic issues that causes black people to be violent, right?

There’s a right way to go about solving the problems you’re discussing, and they are very real problems, but becoming a pathetic bigot is not the way to go.

Victimization does not give you the right of discrimination based on immutable characteristics, and you are objectively a bad person if you think otherwise. There aren’t any valid exceptions to this, and accepting this behavior leads to absolute pieces of shit like jk Rowling.

That’s nice and all, but given most men don’t sexually assault people it’s a little like treating all women as cheaters because you got cheated on, or all black people as thieves because you had an unfortunate encounter.

Sexism is sexism regardless of how you frame it.

There’s 9 billion people and 80% of them are on the internet. Anything you want to imagine is happening in large numbers on the internet, and if you search hard enough you’ll find it.

Confirmation bias is indeed a problem, but that’s all this problem is. Don’t go looking for rape roleplay if you don’t want that.

You’re thinking of Italians. While some ‘german’ ethnicities were indeed swarthy whites along side Nordic countries in the 1700s, nearly all were included in the white umbrella by the start of the 1800s. Italians, Irish, and Mediterranean whites took well into the 20th century to be white.

That would be wonderful if it were true, getting aipac out of the dem party would be one of the best things to have ever happened in US politics, that’s simply not the case.

Netanyahu’s favourite in France, Marine Le pen, is now permanently barred from government. The far right in France, in general, is failing. This is simply fascist consolidation of liberals. The same thing always happens as fascism approaches being accepted widely. Liberals are exclusively the ones with the will and power to hand over the keys of power to fascists.

No I’ve just been to countries that aren’t stupid enough to have overhead power lines anywhere near residential or commercial properties, even in rural communities. The amount of money you save by being lazy with overhead lines is eaten up by the constant repair and maintenance, and in a competent country, health costs that they inevitably cause.

Underground lines are the only sensible solution. I mean you should be generating power that far from its primary draw anyway.

Why would they fly into the deep rural country side where power lines exclusively are?

Whose going to arrest them?

US courts rarely deputize militias and even if they do the courts don’t run prisons or holding cells.

Without the consent of the executive the judicial has no power to arrest.

The gap has been getting smaller every year, and thanks to stagnation from amd and Intel, it’s nonexistent in the consumer and business market. Chinas consumer grade CPUs are on the same performance as five year old chips, roughly speaking. Most people don’t upgrade their CPUs that often and genuinely don’t need to these days.

The biggest difference is in cuda-like and similar chips, but thanks to ridiculous levels of foreign investment that gap is also narrowing.

The Linux kernel already supports them by the way.

China has been planning for a us led export ban on all computer components for three decades now, since Clinton originally started talking about it. There’s a reason Taiwan is still allowed to be an autonomous region, and it’s not because China thinks it would damage the chip fabs during an invasion.
