[The Palestinian] genocide is going to happen regardless of the two.

damn, citizens in western democracies don’t really have a say in what the state does? at least we’re not in AUTHORITARIAN communist china though am i right

i say this as a battery guy

holy shit stop putting batteries in stuff. they suck

I’ve managed to avoid learning about whatever the fuck this is

gamers are horrible

udon with cabbage and tofu mm tofu

that’s right folks, we’re hitting them where it won’t hurt, like at all

If I’m at home and not working, it’s no contest - I plug in some real headphones, open back over-ears preferably.

That said, I’ve been really liking these wireless Samsung things recently. They are in-ears, so maybe a bit off-topic. These days it seems all I do is eat hot chip, work with loud equipment, and ride the train - so, lots of background noise and over-ears are too cumbersome.

1. I’m getting lucky with this bluetooth stuff. They pair immediately when i open the little case, 100% of the time.
2. These samsung ones just sit in my outer ear and may be the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever tried. Definitely the most comfortable in-ears. They don’t even fall out when I’m running, and the normal silicone-tipped ones always did.
3. They don’t sound good, and this is no surprise because the driver is so small and the form factor is so weird. But they sound okay, and on the train no headphones are sounding that much better than these.
4. Cable doesn’t get in the way or get caught on things when I’m working, and also maybe it’s some sensory thing but I hate how the cable feels running under my shirt. For me this is huge.
5. The battery is not great. Needs charging every day.

At any rate, wired definitely shouldn’t be phased out. My new phone has no 3.5mm jack

chinese posting is unparalleled

they probably have like 5 drils for our one dril

:fidel-cool: i have no microphone on my gaming PC

shitty setup stays winning

life hack: I don’t have headphones and i have to use the shitty built in monitor speaker

The 18-to-25 set is annoyed about climate change, student loans, abortion bans and Gaza. Why on Earth would they think a Biden win would help?

on the topic of pandas everyone look at this one

the second season seems to have flown very much under most radars, which is a shame

It’s not like groundbreaking or anything, just really good stuff.

One time we had a guest lecturer come in who’d done a lot of work for the US Navy and NATO

Somebody asked about the ethics of building weapons for the US and he said “Well, the way I see it there are bad guys out in the world, and we have to protect the innocent people from them.” I probably turned 30% communister that day

OKAY OKAY

it’s done. the only thing missing is Chrome’s reading list, but that’s minor.

Putin says if NATO doesn’t back off from Russia’s borders, they’ll retaliate. “Of course we didn’t sign that.” ()

NATO doesn’t back off. Russia retaliates.

NATO boasts about how they’re doing even more not-backing-off by admitting more of Russia’s neighbours.

Your understanding of Chinese infrastructure isn’t rigorous if it’s entirely based on some sensationalist viral videos of some places which look bad. Yeah, it’s a massive country with a billion people, some of those places look bad in a video. I’m not happy about the bad construction you see there, nor the real estate speculation causing some of it (which isn’t a communist feature).

You can find lots of videos of places in the US and Canada looking bad too, only it’s like cops destroying the tents and property of unhoused people in the streets. But in response to those we might say “oh that’s terrible, they should fix that” and not the “we gotta overthrow the authoritarian government” when it’s about China.

Ah but they posted the Reuters article maliciously. In a scheming, tankie sort of way.

The US bombed and firebombed until there were “no more targets in Korea.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_North_Korea Examine the primary sources if you like, they’re decent. It was comparable to genocide.

And now we point and laugh at the DPRK for being less developed than the US-backed South?

Nearly half (46%) globally said that the European Union, United States and Nato were doing too little to assist Ukraine, while 11% said they are doing too much

I do think the paper is flawed but not useless. I wasn’t really the one who posted it though, it’s the primary source for this claim in the other article.
