@NoContextBrits halfway woke up with AI generated megachurch 'christian' slop blaring into my headphones and it was like this. for the sake of your soul turn autoplay off before you go to sleep
@zhangzhenn64607@Ricky_Molnar@Bills_gallery@thecyrusjanssen oh 100%. forex is extremely important for chinese exports, it's why china has such a massive foreign treasury reserve (buy dollars with RMB, dollar becomes stronger, chinese exports become more price competitive)
@zhangzhenn64607@Ricky_Molnar@Bills_gallery@thecyrusjanssen nahnahnah i'm not saying you can walk into school and they hand you a macbook pro, i mean that we have schools in major cities that don't even have usable computer labs or technology programs. most kids born after 2007 here can barely use a goddamn computer
@Ricky_Molnar@zhangzhenn64607@Bills_gallery@thecyrusjanssen i was trying to go off of his assumptions without making the argument too long. i know lots of chinese people have computers, you guys make them for us🤣. by the government providing i mean that china has prioritised students' access to technology way more than we westerners have
@KoAtti77@Combat_Archive_ if you try to do tacticool shit and peek corners instead of prefiring around them, the second a defender sees movement coming around that corner he will shoot you will die. trench combat is tons of blind fire and grenades, there's no other realistic way to do it
@Bills_gallery@Ricky_Molnar@thecyrusjanssen we used to be able to make the work-life balance argument but really it's a matter of demographics on both sides. we have aging populations - younger people have to work harder and longer to the point there's basically nothing else left in life. 9/9/6 has already taken hold here
@Bills_gallery@Ricky_Molnar@thecyrusjanssen question is do you want trinkets and baubles (travel, laptops) or would you prefer to have food and a place to live with access to public goods and utilities? besides the point that if you need a computer for work or school the immensely wealthy chinese government provides one
@ItsMeMsTrish@MainA11650083@BlackAndNative1 if you're taking your business to black-owned establishments that makes sense but if you're just gonna drive to the walmart 20 minutes down the road it's even worse
@ItsMeMsTrish@MainA11650083@BlackAndNative1 they don't have to appeal or beg for anything, they do/make things cheaper and more consistently than the competition. why should a seller thank the buyer?
@ESBlofeld99@denslife1990@colinrtalbot it's a matter of how tuned in you are to how these people think - as they say: what wass would the mandem chat about you if man got poked by a civilian?
prison is fetishised, getting stabbed is humiliating and would be an actual deterrent
