I assumed it was downvoted by people who see China as being largely a state capitalist economy with a nominally socialist/communist government, whom I would guess are primarily lefties. Contrary to seeing it as western propaganda, they’d see it as Chinese propaganda as it pretends that the country is something it really isn’t.
This is only a possible view, of course.
He announced the rebranding in a tweet sent last Saturday in the middle of the night. You know, like any competent business person would.
A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.”
Honestly, that’s probably the best response he could’ve given.
The US is part of the world.
The reactor is actually full of Nazis, so Russia has no choice but to blow it up.
The internet peaked with gopher, tbh. Mosaic was the beginning of the end.
This new multipolar world they’re building looks amazing, ngl.
Works like a charm
We don’t know that Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate. They want everyone to think that because they hope it makes people afraid of interfering in their shitty behavior.
Apparently, it’s effective on at least some people.
Multiple independent warheads that can hit different targets. Also, they can actually carry up 12 warheads each , but the US limits the number deployed to meet treaty obligations. And each boat can has 20 missile tubes.
It’s a lot of Armageddon in a small space.
I love your desperation.
You know that we can grow the industry in the US pretty trivially, right? And, again, other countries can and do produce it? You’re presenting this as some massive win, when it’s really just someone observing that we should fix that before it becomes a serious problem.
Alas, this isn’t a big deal and you’re going to have to look elsewhere for the defeat of the west. Sorry!
We actually produce gallium in the US already, the technology for refining it is well established, and you don’t actually mine it directly because it doesn’t really occur by itself - it’s commonly derived in bauxite, which is mined for it’s aluminum content, which I why I mentioned waste products form aluminum refinement, because that’s the most common source for industrial production. Also, other countries can do this, too
But, sure.
Plays stupid games, win stupid prizes as the saying goes.
Oh no, what will the US do? I mean, apart from producing it domestically or sourcing it from other counties because it’s not a particularly rare element and the refinement process uses waste from things like aluminum smelting.
The embargo does not block food and medicine goods to Cuba from the United States, and other countries besides the US trade with Cuba (notably, China). But apart from that, great point.
They’ve had F-16s for years, producing most of them domestically (under license). Maybe some upgrades?
Turkey’s been developing their own “5th gen” fighter, and they do have a pretty decent domestic military industrial base, but they got barred from purchasing the F-35 in 2019 when they bought an S-400 system from Russia - I wonder if he wants those. It’d need some US congressional cooperation to make happen, though.
Threads is up to 100 million users since it launched on Wednesday of last week. This is Musk tweeting his ever worsening narcissistic injury in realtime.
I lean hard centrist.
What US attack on Iran? Can you link to an article?
Edit: probably the killing of Qasem Soleimani in 2020
Everyone who uses Chrome (or Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, or anything else that uses Chromium as a base) - you’re helping google extend their power over the open web, and those helping them do this.
It’s a small thing, but Google’s power over the web derives from each of the the millions of people who continue to make Chrome the standard that webdevs cater to.
