Inflation from Jan 2023 to Jan 2024 was 3.1% according to the CPI. The target is 3%
- Comment on Analysis: Why it will be tough for Biden to defeat Trump | CNN Politics 8 months ago:
The economy is actually doing quite well under Biden. Between the IRA and CHIPS, and other measures, manufacturing is looking good. Blue collar jobs are doing fine too, with some hiccups due to world events. I’d rather have Biden anyway especially since he has let the Central bank have autonomy to set interest rates unlike Trump who took a less conservative approach and more of a populist approach.

Helltaker is a little puzzle game that is free and short and sweet
- Comment on What Are Some Good Card Videogames? 1 year ago:
I’ve got three. The first two aren’t traditional card games, but the third is absolutely a card game.
Rounds is a little 2d multiplayer game with a couple of circles that get cards to unlock new abilities every time they loose until one player wins the whole set.
There’s Friends vs Friends which is similar, except you use the cards for that round only. Oh and it’s furry and 3d. It’s a lot faster.
Third, there’s tabletop simulator. I recommend everyone gets this game as you can play any card games or board games that are on the steam shop, which is all of them.

I think he locked everything after I started to call him out for posting Jimmy Dore’s antisemitic videos. I’ve since blocked the community.

Using a congregation of users to influence a discussion unrelated to said congregation as a collective as opposed to individual users.
It’s like going to A random Youtube video and making it about the Rape of Nanking

You do realize the only reason why people keep sharing it is because of the Barbra Streisand effect. People loyal to Xi Jinping thought hate it, so people like me share it because it’s funny to see their reaction

You may be in different circles than me. In my circles, it is used to poke fun at Xi Jinping, not the Chinese people. It is a caricature, just as we draw caricature of our own politicians. Despite the CCP’s attempts, Westerners distinguish between race and state. Xi Jinping is not China and China is not Xi Jinping.

It’s theories about how spheres of influence work, that Russia has a right to take over Ukraine, or at least override it politically. Very much similar to Kissinger’s Great power politics in the days of the USSR. It’s somewhat different than the Russian right which is their divine right to Empire, over the Ukrainians and the Poles and Slavic countries in general. The ideologues Ivan Ilyin and Karl Schmidt influence that part. But notably, both parts believe that there’s a place that Russia must dominate in Europe, and that other great powers must not interfere there. Leftists also are influenced by these theories, especially when they remember the reaches of the Iron Curtain far into Central Europe. The USSR had a history of intervening into the politics of its satellite states. Notably in Hungary when there were democratic protests, they sent in tanks to quell the uprising. This theory echoes in 2014 when the Ukrainians changed their government, and Russia invades and annexes Crimea. Many on the far left and far right see the massive protests as creeping American influence that does not belong in the region. They fear NATO expansion as it is a threat to Russia; In the west it’s Russia itself, and in Russia, it’s Russian greatness in Empire.

You realize that this picture originated from Chinese social media right?

I understand if you don’t want to see. It’s very disturbing stuff, and deeply offensive to those who love Xi Jinping thought.

Reporters were kept away by force and the CCP tried as hard as they could to hide all evidence. Crushed protestors were washed down drains with hoses, and many were whisked away to secret graves. Despite this, there is still significant photographic evidence

It’s the 1989 Tiemaman square Tank Man picture and Xi Jinping as Whinnie the Pooh, images commonly censored in China as one of them demonstrates clear oppression and the other discredits the CCP.
