I think criticizing Russia, China, or North Korea is only bannable if you're also annoying.

“There is no fair competition with the Chinese automotive industry. They massively subsidized this sector and they are now dumping vehicles around the world. Europe was soft on China. Look at what the outcome has been: 90,000 auto jobs lost last year because they’ve allowed dumped Chinese vehicles into their market,” he said.

There surely is no way to counter Xi's evil economy magic... They're materializing the EVs out of thin air!

Existing is difficult. What are your favorite ways to unwind / chill out?

I personally have gotten really into crafting. Doesn't take much in terms of tools and it feels good to get good at something without thinking about making money. My family also loves the gifts :)

I think it's really hard to balance single player shooters to feel "fair" while still being difficult. Especially since if you make it hard, no amount of difficulty sliders will make it accessible to your average gamer.

For hard SP shooters I'd recommend Ultrakill & Neon White

If you are not humbled by either you are God's chosen gamer and should go pro

I have never had the opportunity to cook with gas at home, but I have cooked a lot with induction and the difference between that and a heating element are night and day.

I think framing it as "american media is afraid of Israel's wrath" is getting things a bit backwards.

Yes, the whole US media ecosystem runs cover for Israel. However it's not because Israel has any real power over western media, it's because the US government supports Israel.

Israel only has power because they're a proxy of the US.

I am legitimately having some trouble breaking the habit of smoking every day.

IDK if it's because I've formed a dependency or because I feel incredibly stuck in life and it's good escapism.

Either way it's probably a good idea to stop for a little bit and then see how I'm feeling later.

Being good at anything is completely unrelated to being a good person. If every person in the world was brilliant but a selfish piece of shit, we'd go extinct.

Take pride in your abilities, and be kind to yourself. You have value outside of your ability to generate revenue for shareholders. Compassion, Empathy, and emotional intelligence are separate skills you've invested time into that those people clearly haven't.

Also nurture yourself! I cannot overstate how helpful it is to be kind to yourself when trying to learn something new. The only way to get good at something is to first be bad at it.

Isn't it like, the entire job of politicians to convince people to vote for them?

Do you really think that the intersection of 40s racism and FDR ideals (for white people) is a complete coincidence? That there was absolutely nothing else happening at that time related to the US being able to sustain higher living standards for the working class?

You clearly are not educated enough on this topic to have an in-depth conversation. That's not an attack on your character, but you really should consider learning more.

And before you say I haven't provided solutions, real solutions & real change require theory and practice. It's not easy and you will have a gut reaction to reject it because you are kept comfortable by the spoils of imperialism. This is why most people choose to not waste their time engaging with you and instead post memes. I have spent 30 minutes of my real life typing out a message that will likely not convince you of anything given what I've seen of your other responses.

If you actually want to fight for a better future then I'd be happy to provide you resources to learn more.

  • promotes fad diets that are proven to be harmful for your health
  • flies overseas to take experimental treatment for benzo addiction
  • gets sick

This must be spiritual warfare!!!!!

I think some people feel the need to organize these things as "good team vs bad team," and when there's more to it than that, it all becomes confusing and they get all pissy and throw around jokey shit like that lol

If it's not a 70's Star Wars "Evil Empire vs Plucky Underdogs with God on their side" it's easier to just be sarcastic and callous about it than to actually read stuff and form a informed opinion.

I'm really struggling to decipher whether or not this person knows that the main inspiration for star wars was vietnam. Are they trying to say that star wars was a bad representation of the vietnam war?

I'm probably giving redditors too much credit.
