1000%. Beyond the inherent and unavoidable xenophobia and nationalistic prejudice they inspire, sports are so boring. It’s literally the same exact thing over and over and over again, just the teams and players change names. Not to derail the topic, everything you said about music and AI was fucking spot-on and very well said.

Pretty sure they were carbon-based

Genocide is never convenient, you really gotta go out of your way to make it happen.

Language and cultural history are not “bigoted beliefs,” but Uyghurs aren’t allowed to teach them to their children. Sounds pretty discriminatory to me.

“bUt In ChInA iT’s CaLlEd ThE cUtE fLuFfY pUpPy LaW!”

Idgaf what they call it, it can’t change the purpose and inevitable effect of the law, which is to further the ongoing ethnic genocide.

Except they literally won’t allow non-Mandarin families to teach their own cultures’ languages or histories. That’s not something I read second hand either, that’s from talking one-on-one with a Uyghur linguist that was given special recognition by an international linguistics organization for his efforts to save the language.

There’s no way to define “ethnic unity” that doesn’t involve racism and ethnic genocide.

Which is exactly why people always fall for it.

Actually the only opinion I gave, that someone who wants to do a good job is better than someone who doesn’t want to do a good job, is extremely well-informed and logically unassailable. Try it, just try and assail that shit, you can’t do it. Better luck next time!

What any French Stewart?

I’d give anything for a steady diet of government cheese…

Is he German? I couldn’t tell, ja?

Sounds like they haven’t tried.

Wow, good reading comprehension hahahaha

Yes, bad developers that want to get fired are worse than good developers like me that want to do a good job. Except I’m not a developer, but the logic applies to all jobs.

There is never a reason to not back in

Trunk access. I usually back in everywhere, but I figured out not to do it at the grocery store because there’s not enough room between cars to easily get back there if the lot is busy.

Even your strawman is an idiot, developers that don’t give a shit and want to get laid off are objectively worse than developers that give a shit and want to do their job well.

I got mine for free, how much did you pay for yours?

There’s just not enough content. I come here to doom-scroll and troll trolls, it’s much harder to do that when most of the communities I’m actually interested in are nearly inactive or don’t exist at all.

I always get some sinus allergy something-or-other in the fall with drainage, sore throat, coughing, and whatnot. This year for the first time, a couple non-consecutive nights, I had what the Internet said was called Typewriter Tinnitus, this rapid, incessant, light tapping somehwere in my inner ear. It was like high-speed Morse Code that never stopped. Thankfully it was only when I was laying on my right side so I just didn’t sleep on that side, and it only occurred maybe three nights throughout a week. But even experiencing it that little bit gave me a taste of how unbearable it must be to have something like that all the time, I really feel for all you chronic sufferers, hopefully you can find relief soon.
