Taiwanese cultural exports all go to mainland China

Music dominates there because there's too much bureaucracy with censorship and filtering from the CPC for mainlanders to compete

Although whiteness has expanded over time, it's been like 100 years since the last time someone was let in

Weren't Italians and Greeks not white until like the 90s when Muslims started being really feared and racism shifted away from those 2 groups long enough that they overtime just became white

but still racism

Jewish people have lots of racism along the same lines. Italians have racism, Greeks have racism

outsourced work in India

I mean it's the same with other white people isn't it. People hate the French more than French Americans. People hate Greeks more than Greco Americans

it is still tied to skin color

I feel like specifically in America whiteness has taken on a more xenophobic and national chauvinistic form, but I can totally see it still being too strongly tied to skin tone

This is such a dishonest attempt of an answer, lots of Indians are whiter than Southern Europeans

Not to mention tons of people with white skin are not white

Indigenous peoples from northern areas, Central Asians, lots of arabs

Depending on where you live, it may be worth the investment to may it look really shitty to discourage thefts

Ebikes are too valuable to pass up stealing even if it has a good ulock

Using MIC software engineers as the bar is not accurate, those guys are some of the most bigoted and evil people in this country

If their opinions was the standard to compare, you'd think women still couldn't vote or work a job

Very healthy representation in the highest levels of government and corporate leadership

Highest income level, even higher than Jewish and Chinese people

High levels of capital ownership

All stereotypes against Indian Americans are similar to the ones against white Americans, not really that bad (rich, smart, business savvy)

Less hate crimes than POC, probably less than Jewish people too

Racism against Indian Americans specifically is pretty low, lower than Jewish people. Obviously the attitude towards those from the motherland and commonwealth countries are a different matter

Identity very homogenized and white Americanized like Irish, Italians, Jewish people, east Asians to an extent

Being fashionable and wearing thin sneakers and boots all the time literally gave me chronic foot issues, fuck the shoe fashion industry

"The US army would be so low moral!" "The US would erupt into a civil war" "They would find it so hard to fight against people that look and sound like them!"

Yea because Americans Brits Frenchmen and Soviets weren't opposing sides in the world's biggest war last century. Like Europe wasn't centuries of constant wars between Anglos and Germanics and Norsemen. Like East Asia wasn't constant wars and colonization between people that all originated from the China area

Not to mention Canada's military is like 90% white while America's is like 30% black and hispanic, definitely looks way more different than lots of wars in recent history tbh

Just ask it to rewrite the shitty code you wrote in a language you barely understand to "follow standard best practices in " or something like that and it will add advanced typing features, functional programming for iterables, advanced exception handling, proper concurrency handling, optimize control flows, use better equivalent functions, etc.

As long as you understand the foundations of these concepts in at least one language anybody can become pretty close to an expert in most languages instantly. Especially since most of them are C based and pretty similar

The output will sometimes change the logic but I mean that's pretty easy to catch and fix

Rip C++ nerds that memorize the entirety of each releases manual to shave off 3ms in every single function

My desire to leave has recently rapidly increased but I have a partner here and really close friends I want to be with as long as possible. I wish I could stay and establish roots but that was never an option given healthcare and the inevitably of the current downturn though I expected to have a lot more time before it got this bad tbh

Weatherday

Observations: The average man at the show that looked to be age 20+ had an estimated height of 5' 6". Almost every person at the show was also white. n=50+

The average height of a white man in the USA is 5' 10"

Hypothesis #1: Shorter men are more likely to be bullied and have worse dating prospects -> more likely to be sad -> more likely to listen to sad music like Weatherday (I'm not citing any sources for these but I've read supporting studies/research for all claims)

Hypothesis #2: I've also observed a disproportionately high percentage of trans women at the show. I can't really estimate what the percentage was because I'm sure there were also many non-visible trans women. This may be explained by a reason similar to Hypothesis #1 in that the average trans woman seems pretty fucking sad, for many good reasons. If that's the case, then there is no Hypothesis #2. However, another plausible explanation is that since Weatherday is non-binary, there may be some trans solidarity or shared culture that makes it more likely for trans women to discover and enjoy their music. If that's the case, then this may also apply to trans man, as Weatherday's music isn't written for a female (or any gendered) audience. The average height of trans men in the USA is 5' 5", which is close to my observed average height of men at the show

Americans were mostly against Vietnam because a bunch of their family and friends were coming back in bodybags

I don't think any amount of Ukrainian casualties would make any big difference in American perception

Hexbear at this point is almost all of my internet time because everywhere else is liberalism. I imagine this would hold true for a lot of others as well

I'm not even that online, it's just that my time online is so concentrated on this single forum

Everybody posting from a Hexbear account can instantly be disregarded as a Russian bot. They need to read more Wikipedia pages about China and North Korea instead of fairy tales about make believe economics
