Alternatively, just extend China to all of Earth for the same effect. mao-aggro-shining

I clicked the link and got jumpscared because I misread Jason Hickel as Jackson Hinkle scared

Yeah, the only proper way of fighting a fascist regime is doing what they explicitly allow you to do because they think it's pointless and only serves as a distraction from any meaningful resistance. While making sure to swear allegiance to it at least every 5 minutes, of course! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Like Disney putting out shitty movies to keep their IP rights, we now get to use the brunch liberal meme for at least another 10 years

Playing Horizon Forbidden West but the camera gets close enough to Aloy's face to show a skin imperfection and my dove just falls dead off its perch

Combine this with that other AI story from earlier this year and we've got something going here:

You don't get it tankies, every Ukrainian soldier actually takes out at least 100 Russian ones, the problem is North Korea has sent them a squad of the most powerful Juche necromancers

What level of American politician are you on when you reframe your own policies as

  • something that voters hate you for
  • a war
  • removing people's existential needs

As most aspects of life in America, the title of this post would be greatly improved if it didn't have cars.

I joined the Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta.

Essentially a charity fundraiser event + community challenge run for Final Fantasy 5 in which you are only allowed to (and have to) use four jobs to find a way to beat the game (with different rule variants available if you feel like doing that).

This year the charity that money is being raised for is the Palestine Children's Relief Fund waow-based

I realize this comment is too late for a lot of people to still see, but I have to add something about reddit, unless we fall into the trap of erasing some of its terrible history because they have been trying to memoryhole it as hard as possible.

CW: Pedophiles, sexual violence

It wasn't a website with a particular politics beyond the mainstream (biased towards white computer touchers obviously).

I don't think this is entirely true. In the early stages of reddit it was already more aligned with the kind of libertarian freeze-peach brainworms to the point that I remember normie liberals and people on older sites (including fucking 4chan) were oftentimes repulsed by it.

Initially the main thing reddit was doing to set itself apart from other sites was to not "censor" communities like r/jailbait and various reddits dedicated to taking upskirt creepshots. The former was a community dedicated to sexualising actual, real-life, children and to post images and videos of them for people to masturbate to.

Reddit did eventually cave and remove the very fucking worst shit on it and then pivoted hard to being the inoffensive. investor-friendly site for white keyboard touchers as you said, but I don't think the truly awful shit they started out with should be forgotten either.

I was curious about the applications shown in the video so I tried looking up their names. I found some info about Gionee phones and Hoozo tablets at the very least, but of course all of it comes directly from Western propaganda sources. This is one of the more interesting pieces since it actually goes into technical specifics a little bit.

Apparently there's even a product line of domestically manufactured phones called Arirang, but ""some analysts"" believe they are secretly made in China. Some of the info also just contradicts itself, like how supposedly tablets and phones have the communication hardware components removed but also Arirang phones are apparently just equipped with full 3G capability, so a lot of this is probably just anti-communist fanfiction
