Where do you donate to help the people of Gaza? UN relief or somewhere else?

It seems to me US wants to “transfer knowledge” from TSMC, and they know it, so they are intentionally talking Chinese and bullying them with no intention of giving up their trade secrets to Americans.

What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

Singaporean ex-diplomat said in one video…paraphrase: “The US is famous for 2 things, hating the Chinese and the Muslims. Now you expect us to believe they care so much about Chinese Muslims???” (laugh)

Frankly, that sounds terrifying.

I believe that’s perfectly normal.

I’ve read a scientific piece which claimed that actually everyone has dreams regularly. It’s just that you normally don’t remember them. Sometimes, if you are waken up at a particular moment, you might remember them, but otherwise you would not. So it’s nothing to worry about at least…

On the other hand, I had a date once, who claimed she actually lives an actual 2nd life in her dream world, every single night, and remembers absolutely everything about it. Now that is something unusual…but she was also…let’s just say “unusual” in her 1st life, so who knows what was going on there…

My family lives nearby and I was also there 30+ years ago in socialism. The run down look is a result of capitalism. Thanks to capitalism, people just don’t have enough money to maintain their buildings properly. This hasn’t been maintained since the end of socialism. The urban planning of these blocks is still much better than present day for-profit construction.

Yeah look at the numbers why don’t you. IMF you are using predicts G7 will do far worse than China. In fact the forecast for the US in 2024 is just 1%.

So you might have made a point about global slowdown where China is still outperforming everyone, but you chose something else…

This is IMF forecast data. Check how it looks like for the G7. Spoiler: it’s far worse than this forecast for China. How does the forecast of 1% US growth in 2024 fit into your “stable growth of the US”?

China is still growing far faster than the G7 so you missed the point entirely.

This is literally the GDP growth rate. I don’t think you know what you are talking about, but please point us to a definition of the indicator you are talking about as well as to the comparison by country.

What about Root?

Socialist Yugoslavia. The difference with current leftover republics is incredible. What used to be a happy and secure place for the people, where they didn’t have to worry about their future or current existential problems, now turned into a poor, depressing capitalist hellscape, where most of the people are stressed out, insecure, depressed and angry. It’s literally the remnants of socialist Yugoslavia policies, like the free-housing, that keeps the people’s head above the water.

As someone who lived in socialism and now have pretty decent living standard in a capitalist country with one of the highest standards of living in the world, I can tell you I enjoyed socialism far more. Even at the worst of times.

There is something special about not seeing a homeless person ever in your life, then visiting supposedly rich capitalist countries and being shocked by all the people suffering in the streets.

My grandmother in Eastern Europe came from a wealthy aristocratic family but was a communist and gave up willingly all the lands and property.

45 years later corrupt anti-communist far right nationalists took power, canceled socialism and just divided it all up between themselves and their cronies…

I once posted a slightly lib article on how an idiot ancap CEO of Sears ran the company to the ground with dumb libertarian ideas and also some Chomsky’s critique of US imperialism. Got perma banned the next day…

I mean, I thought we should be intelligent enough to read lib sources if they offer some kind of valuable insight and just filter out useless lib opinions, bad takes ourselves…I guess I was wrong lol.

Funnily enough, many Swiss believe Parmigiano-Reggiano is a counterfeit of their own, they claim even older, Sbrinz cheese.
