Thanks, I’ll look at it

For curiosity’s sake, I am still wondering how a more complicated swipe gesture would be possible.

You don’t need to know another language, but I always recommend learning another language. I’d join a group for comradely language learning

Has nothing to do with Israel’s continued effort to hide the fact that lots of dead Israelis were killed by the IDF bombing even their own people indiscriminately

An Israeli social media liar recently told me that Israel has no interest in Gaza and that they would never do a land grab there lmao

It means Netanyahu will never be welcome in Colombia and that he would be subject to arrest if he ever sets foot there. It’s a terrific thing, don’t be a bummer.

It’s not apathy, we literally fucking hate it lol

For the record, death with reprieve isn’t death. It’s “we could have killed you but we’re gonna let you live. If you fuck up during the reprieve period, you’re a goner”

It certainly feels true that Palestinians are very pious, “religion is the opiate of the masses”, and if any people need an opiate like religion, it’s the Palestinians.

I gotta be honest, if any country could vote itself into actual socialism, it feels like it would be Ireland lol

They’re lying, friend lol This is just your standard European settler colonialism

I just think seeing a person use a word then jumping to the conclusion that they are the only one to use the word is weird, that’s all lol

What on earth made you think that?

My wife’s grandma is in her 90s, and she remembers the famines before and after the revolution. She’s not a party member, but she’ll slap your shit if you trash the Party in her presence. She said she remembers being sent to forage for food and finding dead people with their fingers missing because finger meat stays when you starve to death. She remembers how a neighbor would die and then they’d smell meat cooking and everyone knew but nobody said anything.

She also remembers when the Party brought the Revolution to her town and requisitioned all the grain to distribute it and end the famine. The Party saved her life, and she is an avid supporter of it. There’s a reason that so many of the generation of Chinese people born to the ones who experienced the famines have super patriotic names.

In summary, yes, there have been horrible famines in China, and yes, the Party’s decisions exacerbated one of the worst famines, but the Party still ended famine in a famine-ridden country and that’s why the Chinese people support the Chinese government.

what are the numbers supposed to represent in that video?

“Everything I do like is communism: An adult’s guide to hyperfixation on objectively correct political analysis” lol

guix pull updates package definitions. guix package -u upgrades packages.

I believe the Ubuntu equivalent is apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

True

I think this isn’t always true because they do mean different things. You’re not an “immigrant” unless you’re trying to stay there permanently, whereas “expats” can be sort of transient

One very memorable thing about living in China was dealing with idiots who thought that your copy-pasted gibberish did anything at all to me. It’s like y’all actually think you’re god damn wizards with a magic spell that will get the seeseepee breathing down my neck lmao

Perhaps, and I know I sound like I’m the crazy one here, but just maybe, if you would put on your thinking cap and go out on a limb, you would realize that that’s a string of text that

1. I obviously didn’t send
2. Isn’t even censored like that, the censorship doesn’t happen on an individual level, it happens on a platform level, generally
3. some of that stuff isn’t even censored, y’all just made up a bunch of nonsense and repeated it to each other ad nauseam until all the “freethinkers” believed it lol

Winnie the Pooh? Very popular in China. Not banned. You can literally just go to baidu.com, search for Winnie the Pooh, and find that it’s everywhere lol This is the caliber of the lies about China that y’all are on

lmao they can’t parade around refugees and trafficking victims anymore so they say they can’t escape anymore, genius.
