Spies target non-spies all the time. It’s the point of being a spy
- Comment on US bans government personnel in China from romantic or sexual relations with Chinese citizens 2 hours ago:
Espionage. Honey pots are a well established tactic, and China is a hostile country.
- Comment on US bans government personnel in China from romantic or sexual relations with Chinese citizens 4 hours ago:
Makes sense. Odd that it wasn’t a thing before

Buy from the owner, not a dealership. Plenty of people selling beaters on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace.

Should probably chew on something, that always makes the ear pain go away for me when flying

You know, name calling doesn’t work on me.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 3 days ago:
Last I checked, China was a country.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 3 days ago:
Taiwan is independent, and they have a lot of chip fabs. I think you have an inflated view of Chinese industry, must be all the lead in their paint.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
No good reason except basic pattern recognition.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
So what? China has slaves galore! A veritable slave emporium! A slave for every man woman and child. That is, if women had rights in China.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
I sincerely doubt that. And last I checked, most chip fabs were not in China. There’s a lot in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And there’s plenty in damn near every western country. Even the Netherlands has a few.
You need to realize that countries other than China have industry.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
Yeah, like slaves! America is so bad with slaves, we gave it up 150 years ago! But China, China is rolling the slaves! China perfected slavery!
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
My phone was made in Vietnam. And last I checked, Taiwan is not part of China.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
You’re right. If I don’t buy cheap shit, I won’t get cheap shit. And since “made in China” is a byword for cheap shit, I try to avoid Chinese products.
My home was made in America. My car was assembled in America, and afaik, most of the parts came from Mexico and Japan. My microwave is Japanese. My shirt is from Taiwan. My computer is made from a ton of chips, Taiwan chip fabs. My tools are all made in America. I can go on.
Very little of what I have was made in China. Because China makes “cheap shit”. Your words, not mine.

They’ve earned their reputation.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 4 days ago:
Well yeah, or one managed it, and the others are just copying the size. It’s happened time and time again, how is this any different)

Sounds like a typical scam
- Comment on Are there democratic countries whose democratic institutions survived an auto-coup attempt? 1 week ago:
That’s not a coup, by definition.
It’s still bad, but coup isn’t the right term
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Actually he was never convicted in a court of law. Civil court does not have the same requirements.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
We still haven’t. He’s not a felon, and he’s not a rapist. You should really actually read the articles instead of the headlines.
Funnily enough, there’s been rapists in office before, like Bill Clinton, a democrat.
- Comment on Best game ever? 1 week ago:
Skyrim. Sure, no single part is particularly good, but the whole of it is greater than the sum of it’s part.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
They’re talking about the moderates on both sides. I can probably assume you aren’t.

Ergonomic is bad now? Should I throw out my ergonomic keyboard? My keyboard might assault someone!

Dude get off lemmy. Go outside, talk to your neighbors.
Nothings changed, we’re still a giant group of humans. Only your perception has changed.
- Comment on A Trump H-1B crackdown could hit Big Tech hard, with Amazon suffering most. 1 week ago:
Amazon getting hurt? Hell yeah!
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
There’s been a lot of protests. How massive is mass is up to you though.
Although, a lot of people really like the way things are going, and a lot of anger is just terminally online bozos who don’t even live in America.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
To some extent. We need a good ally in the middle east. I’d say that Germany should be the one footing the bill, but they’re not a particularly reliable ally when it comes to military funding.
Israel is a pretty unique case, and they’re surrounded by those who have done harm and wish to do more harm to us. It’s not a great position, but it’s the one they’re in.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
Pretty much. Somethings are going to be the same, they’re just that obvious, the sky is blue, water is wet, and we should deport illegal immigrants. But a lot of p25 goes well beyond that.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
Because Israel is literally the only liberal country in the middle east, relatively speaking. If they can expand their influence, less women will be oppressed, less gay people will get thrown off buildings, and Jewish people won’t be massacred until there’s none left in the middle east.
And why are siding with Hamas and Hezbollah? Do you hate LGBT people? Do you just hate women? Do you just want to see the aggressors win?
I bet you didn’t even know that they’ve been attacking this entire time. Just yesterday, Hamas fired 3 rockets in an attempt to kill more civilians. www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2dr7jd7mno Or maybe you do know and you like killing civilians?
