I think old mate is confused about you saying “my laptop” when it’s your laptop provided by your workplace. He’s then telling you it’s not your laptop if they control what you can download (which it isn’t yours, it’s the workplace) . I’ve got absolutely no idea how the fuck horses entered the equation.

I never said the dictatorship was good. Its not accurate to compare a capitalists who are purely for self enrichment to a country that is lifting people out of poverty. They’re not the same.

I don’t think anyone is spuiking how fantastic china is. They have serious flaws, but they have also had huge improvements in quality of life, poverty, engineering etc. Just to be clear also, China has taken such a staunch stance in nationalism since the bullfuckery of England, America and Japan.

But they’re capitalists and beholden to shareholders and profits? They’re not the same. I don’t condone China’s actions around privacy and control. But I also think it’s erroneous to compare them to China.

Except China does it to drive national interest, the above forementioned people do it for personal wealth or power growth

Id say the “bro” in techbros is more derogatory in this definition… like a techflog perhaps.

Seems like the military has already followed illegal orders (e.g. bombing the Venezuelan boats) . Don’t think they’re really interested in following the law.

As much as I appreciate the charger “nose”, that’s a bad place to have it if you park close to the wall

Chances are because that’s such a small car, there would be ample space to park away from a wall and still remain within a standard car footprint.

Entire political spectrum means people from the far left, left, centre, right and far right support it (entire spectrum)… not that every single person does.

That, quite frankly, is an absolutely ridiculous take and horrifically disrespecting to cultures and individuals who have been victims of actual genocide.

Support genocide or not these comments screech “I’m not responsible”

Hooold up. You’re not suggesting JK is committing genocide are you?

I’m a hack at IT but am self hosting forgejo. Just works.

That’s a wild fucking username.

Ive always seen this as white and gold. I just zoomed in on the shoulder to see the blue… it just transitioned before my eyes… I need to lay down

On eBay?

But I guess no one will ever admit any mistakes.

Do you mean outside of vaccine adverse event reporting system ? A system transparent and dedicated to reporting side effects ? https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety-systems/vaers/index.html

Id say there’s a fair chance he’s now blocked you 😅

If the doctor said “I’ll cure you” and proceeded to make an absolute fucking shamozzle of every attempt at helping people (Except maybe once??) then I would be pretty pissed at the doctor and prefer the doctor stay away in their own corner.

In case that analogy is lost on some, I’ll refer you to the illustrious leader invader zim

Zim: I put the fires out.

Almighty Tallest Red: You made them worse!

Zim: Worse… or better?

//Answer - it was definitely worse.

Yes, because America has an outstanding track record in making positive changes from meddeling in other countries affairs.

It was just a light hearted dig, no need to explain yourself .
