Remind me who ran against Xi in his very democratic last election?

This reads like sweaty neckbeard garbage.

You said “the working class is in control of the state”, and I was looking for some argument to support that. I think Xi is in charge of the state, and I don’t think the working class gets much say in that.

OK but you said public ownership as a part of how “the working class” is in control of the state, and this sounds like not that.

What does “public ownership” mean? They’re not paying dividends to every Chinese citizen, right? I assume you mean “the state”, in which case I’m not seeing your point.

I’m sorry, the working class is in control of the state? I’d love to hear something to back up such a strong statement.

Explain how it made things worse. That’s nonsense.

Banning social media put people in the street. It was the murder of protesters that lit the torch.

Holy shit that photo?! It’s so obvious that they smeared the blood from a broken nose all over his body lol.

Commutes of 2 hours are unfortunately common in the DC Metro area. It’s too expensive to live near the good jobs…

Sexualizing women does not “typically lead to being an incel”, that’s just crazy. Blaming women for failure to succeed in finding a sexual partner is what leads to that.

It’s not inherently bad to see people in a sexual light, what matters is when and how you act on those feelings, and respecting that people are also more than sexual objects.

He said, frantically struggling to have the last word…

Oh so you googled it now? Back down from having heard of people doing it?

Spoiler alert, hasn’t happened! And you haven’t heard of anybody for whom it has! So I stand by my statement.

It’s theoretical nonsense, and credit scores are not the same as creditors, but keep talking nonsense about this “one weird trick” you heard on Facebook!

Then like…what? You have massive debt and can never return? Or we’re pretending Europe is a different planet and you can just “start new”?

“You’ve heard of people”. No, you haven’t.

Not if you want support from the vendor :p

I think many companies don’t actively maintain a large portion of their code base at all. So any amount of work, no matter how small, involves a “project” and “budget” and “approvals” to even assign somebody to the task of upgrading.

Then you have the testing and due diligence from whomever actually uses the thing.
