I remember seeing some bullshit drama about how Jake Paul does show fights without any real substance and he whined about it a bunch. Turning around and fighting Tyson isn’t doing him any favors.

It’s gut wrenching but also uplifting. Well worth your time and famous for good reason.

Grapes of wrath has interlude chapters which describes marxist concepts. I think the archive of marxist texts online has a few excerpts saved there.

Here’s a PDF

Go read up on videogame addiction. Reduces grey matter in the brain. Having socially isolated kids who only play games alone is damaging. Having kids touch grass in order to help avoid that is good.

“Least obvious psyop” after spewing straight up BS. Okay lol

I’m done goodbye

Look man I’m not gonna respond to anymore of this stuff. I just want to point out that most of what you said the first time is untrue and then you just double down and list a bunch of other things as truisms.

Be a little critical of narratives about places you know nothing about yeah?

Religious books are not banned. There are millions of christians in China. There are millions of Muslims in China. Reducing hours of video game playing could greatly assist with insane amount of hours that come with game addiction. It probably needs workshopped more but I personally think this change in coordination with providing youth with solid after school programs and activities would be good for long-term health and well being. That TikTok thing is BS. People in China watch just as much brainrot on douyin. Winnie the Pooh is beloved by people in China. Literally go around for five minutes and you’ll see his face plastered on shirts bags and as stuffed animals. As for the companies, this is good if true. Fuck companies doing whatever they want and hurting people. I hope they continue to have significant government oversight.

Xinjiang is a more complex situation but if you look into it all accusations of genocide come from one source, Adrian Zens. He’s a CIA asset who claims god revealed to him that it’s his mission to destroy China. I’m gonna listen to the Muslim countries (and the UN) that came and inspected the region and said nah it’s chill.

Have you ever talked to someone from there? I have and just asking them about this shit is really useful for learning that 80 percent of this stuff is untrue, and 20 percent is misconstrued.

That’s the thing, if a lie is a big as the ones you present here, everyone would know. Yet here we are and the average person from china will complain about a lot of things but never the things you brought up here.

Yeah actually though. “You get what you sow” sounds so bad.

For being an “upper middle class” he writes like a child raised by wolves

Other people have tried gum and not had it help them. I find it pretty helpful for me so far. I’m now two weeks in and I only chew 2 pieces a day now. Only have it when smelling others’ cigarette smoke triggers my cravings. Overall, I’m gonna try to quit the gum by the end of next week.

I will note that I seem to have way easier of a time with nicotine withdrawal than other people I’ve talked to.

70% of Israeli weapons come from the United States…

Sure sounds like they know what they’re talking

Before I was born I couldn’t conceive of existence nor will I regret it after I’m gone. The idea that because I was ripped from the ether contrasted with the fact that I will one day return, doesn’t bring peace to me. I exist and for as long as I do the end of my existence will wrench my gut and bitter my tongue. I hate death and I resent my inevitable march towards it.

Probably Alaska but that feels like cheating

I mean, she’s also in a current legal battle for her future right now. I dunno about y’all but I’d sing whatever song my lawyer told me to. I don’t feel as though me standing by my beliefs in this situation would particularly benefit anyone.

It was my turn to post the “who-must-go” emoji

Each billionaire emits the carbon emissions of 444,424 people over their lives if they live the average US life span

and we all know ghouls live longer

Feels criminal to call it a newspaper comic. It really transcends the medium

Happy suicides to all settler soldiers :))

Yeah I guess I just have trouble with it feeling “namey”.

But also good point. You’ve given me something to think about.

I’m cis but I wish my given name was a bit more gender neutral. I really love the names Iver and Quinn and would rename myself those if I ever swapped.

Iver is definitely more masc coded but you don’t see it much at all anymore so I think it could work.

Quinn is just lovely imo
