IKR. I want to know what kind of spicy take got it blocked.
I went to Mander, since .ml is blocked in China.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•Trump admin warns states: Don’t try to lower broadband prices34·1 day agoHarris did repeatedly speak out
Harris represented the democratic party. When you speak out against they very thing you’re facilitating, you just show your constituents that your words are worthless. Same deal with dems speaking out against ICE in trump pt I and then voting to fund it under Trump and again under Biden.
claimed a 2 state solution was the only way forward.
A 2 state solution has been dead on arrival for decades.

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•Trump admin warns states: Don’t try to lower broadband prices106·2 days agoShame genocide is so unpopular with anyone who might vote democrat. If only someone tried to tell the dems that doing fuckall to improve the material conditions of your constituents, expanding republican policies we all agreed were bad when Trump did it, and sending the cops to kick the shit out of the politically activated and organized youth would decrease voter turnout.

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States71·2 days agoNo, because the lowest-level voter typically has less direct knowledge of higher level politician or policy than the guy who has to work with them.

Holder+video call. Seeing Hanoi traffic or w/e makes people so much more appreciative of why I cant talk.
Just make sure you’ve got a good phone protector and really wrench that thing tight.
Same with my dad and sister, except she would only call if he was on a ladder or in heavy traffic or on hold, or otherwise unable to safely take a call.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•A 19-year old Albuquerque woman became the third employee of the city’s bicycle safety center to be killed by drivers in the last two yearsEnglish2·3 days agoThe equivalent would be downvoting a SA survivor for telling other women to be more aware and not to put themselves in a vulnerable position. The poster in question isnt pro-bikers-getting-murdered-by-cars, theyre living in the real world where we must take precautions at an individual level because society fails to protect us.
The bath tub has a tray with fancy chocolate and a glass of wine. Lavender petals sit atop the ice.

Which is awful because it forces bikes to stay in the blob of drivers who you’re basically invisible to.
E:Who the hell is downvoting you? People who think non-cars just have to follow the rules and we’ll be safe?

Assume everyone else on the road are idiots or you will get hurt.
Taiwan’s official name, that their government calls itself, is “the republic of china”, “china” covers both places just fine.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok appoints ex-IDF solider as its 'hate speech manager'English5·4 days agoTikTok IS spying on you.
-
No more so than any other social media app, and as someone who lived in America at the time, China having my data was far less threatening than America having my data.
-
Tiktok duplicated their server infrastructure just for America so no American data would leave the country.

See the thing about boosting what the state department wanted boosted and censoring what they told them to censo. Tiktok isn’t Chinese propaganda, it’s American propaganda.
But it’s true that the evil CCP is no longer communist: just totalitarian crony capitalist.
The CPC’s tendency to favor the working class over capital suggests otherwise; they’ve raised a billion people out of poverty, while India is a net exporter of food but still has children dying of hunger-related diseases. When a baby formula factory in China killed or sickened a dozen babies due to greed and gross negligence, they took the executives out back and shot them, and opened the market up to foreign imports. When the same thing happened in the US, nobody went to jail and the US didn’t even approve EU imports of formula because that would hurt the profits of the company that had just murdered literal babies.
I would never call China a utopia, but you have to actually understand a thing if you want to make meaningful criticisms of it.
