What moral authority does any western country have to lecture China on anything?

i think peoples politics would become very different if they stopped seeing the global south as a collection of humanitarian crises and started seeing it as the majority of humanity

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

Should probably get a screenshot of this and include it in applications going forward.

Because real AF.

Job interviews are always like, “What can you do?”

Sir, I’m a millennial born in the ‘90s. Just tell me what I need to know, and I’ll master it in three days.

Tell me, unless your mind is clouded by stupidity, your eyes blinded by naivety, or your soul struck by brain-dead syndrome… why would anyone hate a man lifting his people out of poverty, and giving his country a sense of pride?

You’ve probably seen Africa’s Indigenous Maasai community used as props for famous white people from the West. But this upcoming Kenyan action game is flipping the script and making the Maasai the main character.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

On this day in 1919, a Black teenager drifted across an invisible line in Lake Michigan. White beachgoers stoned him until he drowned. He was 17.

His name was Eugene Williams. The "line" was the unofficial boundary between the white and Black sections of a Chicago beach. A line drawn on WATER.

Police arrived. Black witnesses pointed out the man who had thrown the stones. The officer refused to arrest him and arrested a Black man from the crowd instead.

That refusal lit Chicago on fire. Thirteen days of white mobs raiding Black neighborhoods, and Black veterans fighting back: 38 dead, 537 injured, roughly 1,000 Black families burned out of their homes.

It began because a child couldn't see a border that existed only in white minds.

This is why we have documented 150 crimes against Black people that remain unanswered for https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

“duress” password is incorrectly designed—it shouldn’t be apparent to the attacker that it was triggered and should instead open to an innocuous and data free home screen while nuking everything in the background

Nobody voted for this.

The OP_RETURN data limit sat at 83 bytes for years. That is 80 bytes of data plus three for the opcode. Nobody has ever named one payment it blocked. Not one.

The pull request to remove it, #32359, drew 418 thumbs down against 105 thumbs up in Core's own repository. Four to one against.

Peter Todd filed it. Then, on 4 May 2025, he said this in public:

"For the record, this pull-req wasn't my idea. I was asked to open it by an active Core dev because entities like Citrea are using unprunable outputs instead of OP_Return, due to the size limits."

Citrea is a company. It raised 14 million dollars in October 2024, led by Founders Fund. One of the investors in that round is Jameson Lopp, who posted "Concept ACK" on that pull request the day it opened.

Five days later the same change was filed again under a different number, #32406. The first one was closed. The second was merged on 9 June 2025, by a maintainer funded by Brink until 2024 and by Chaincode Labs in 2025.

@hodlonaut documents that Core development runs on roughly ten to fourteen million dollars a year, from Chaincode, Brink and Spiral, and that Brink alone funds three maintainers.

And now a corporate Consortium offers to look after ₿itcoin's security.

Do not take my word for any of it. Every number here is public. @ctdl21 published the whole investigation.

Satoshi built this to get us out from under that money system. Not to sell it a seat at the table. ₿itcoin was the exit. They are turning it into another wing of the same building.

BIP-110 is the plebs refusing, because Plebs want Bitcoin to be Bitcoin as Satoshi Nakamoto described it in his White Paper.

Some folks don’t believe that a “principled AI company” would destroy books after they suck out all the information for their models, even one-of-a-kind books and manuscripts.

Here it is admitted in open court.

After watching Oppenheimer and The Odyssey you can tell Nolan has a lot of existential dread about the state of humanity and how we treat each other. Real.
