In academia you are trained to not accept any claim without adequate evidence. Look at left wing claims vs. right wing ones and show me one that has better evidence on the right.

What I find interesting about this is that everybody knew exactly what would happen, and then it happened. It’s a perfect counterexample to the logic of “this system isn’t perfect, but it’s the best thing we have.” It’s just the rich and powerful using leveraging their wealth and power to become even more so, and under the current rules nobody can stop them.

Thanks!

So for a total novice could you elaborate on this? Like why a certain build is better for gaming?

So is Mint still the easiest distro? I think I’m switching for good this time.

I don’t really care about the history of it. I only care what Taiwanese people think now.

I’m really curious how you defend a statement like this. What do you think defines present reality for people?

How am I blaming Taiwan? They’re trying to survive like anyone else. What that looks like is dictated mostly by the US, which represents an existential threat to the rest of the world.

And somehow I get downvoted and you don’t. How symmetric.

I think it would be a lot easier for China to cooperate peacefully with countries it perceives within its sphere of influence if there wasn’t a hostile global military hegemon maintaining a bunch of military bases and naval fleets within striking distance.
