You’ve clearly been swallowing CCP propaganda and calling it research.
- Comment on Overseas Dalai Lama reincarnation ‘could not be recognised’ by Beijing 1 week ago:
It’s telling the Chinese conquered to get in the 50’s, but didn’t get around to dismantling the social system till the 70’s. They then make exaggerated claims about slavery half a century later as a justification. I know they had a pretty restrictive system of serfdom going on, but it was a far cry from what people imagine when you say slavery.
Then, as icing on the cake they get a moron like you to parrot their bullshit. I won’t paint the CCP as evil, but let’s keep a grip here.
They conquered it because they could. They’ve since been busy colonizing it with as many Han people as they can on a scale that’s nothing short of breath taking in its scope and scale.

Jesus. Ten of the hottest years ever recorded were the last ten. Its time for some major changes. If more people rode public transport it would be better.
All your objections seem to be about how inconvenient it would be for you. Sound kinda self-centered. Act like the only way to get by is to continue to conspicuously consume everything. Get a fuckin grip. You sound like a real asshole with your whiny ass

I wonder if people were never taught this, or if they just forget everything. Third grade for me…
- Comment on Why did/do sites such as the pyramids in Egypt or the Roman colosseum end up in an abandoned state, only to be "rediscovered" later? 2 weeks ago:
Reusing stones from ancient ruins used to be a widespread practice. I remember hearing a story, not sure how true it is, that the ottomans had plans to use the giza pyramids as a quarry. The practice of grinding up old mummies is almost as ancient as the mummies themselves. Used mainly for fertilizer I believe, and I think it was in vogue as a paint pigment for a while.
I know there are places, especially around the Mediterranean, where you can see foundation stones still etched with ancient hieroglyphic/whatever scrip just thrown in willie nillie.
I won’t condone everything the British museum has done, but a lot of these artifacts wouldn’t exist if they weren’t shipped off. Caring about the past and the artefacts left behind, while by no means new thing, most people for most of history didn’t seem to give two shits. Probably more concerned with not starving etc…

This. Not to mention china spilled a river of blood to keep n Korea Communist. Really the most realistic, best thing for the people of n Korea would be for China to topple the kim regime and set up a new government. Even Xi’s bullshit would be preferable to whatever cult theocratic bs they’ve got going now.

N Korea will be around as long as it suits China.

- Comment on I'm gonna need more red colored crayons 2 weeks ago:
I always thought the British got a slightly worse rap than they deserved there. When the Ottoman empire collapsed, things were chaotic to say the least. Rising nationalism in an area where ethnicities are all over the place. A pocket here, a few villages there. Political systems that had been in place for a thousand years disintegrating. Large groups of nomads who are notoriously difficult to fit into ordered nation states.
Huge demographic shifts underway. People tend to overlook just how much more crowded the world is now than it was in 1920. What worked in 1890 was a nonstarter in 1990.
I don’t think any line on that map would have substantially changed things one way or another.

Some ancient Greek dude said all men should aspire to be like feral dogs, or something like that. Hope that helps.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 2 weeks ago:
Well, if I know my lore, the fediverse, Lemmy included, was created by self avowed communists.
And if the Luigi shenanigans, that is to say the censorship brought to bear on any discussion of the man or his alleged come, have shown us anything; it’s that the powers that be very much fear a class war. Besides commies have long been a favorite windmill to tilt at.
I think it’s safe to assume anything posted on here gets logged and analyzed.
That having been said, eat the rich, free Palestine, and healthcare for all!!

Dude I would homestead the shit out of that. Better be careful or he’ll have a bunch of lemmings (Lemmy nerds?) show up with a trowel and high hopes.

Honestly dealing with tankies is far easier than having capitalism shoved down your throat in the form of paid posts and ai “engagement” comments. I never get the feeling anyone is trying to sell useless shit or running some half-assed psyop on me.
I even got a new polish gf named Nichole!

No, much later. Transmissions in trucks work differently and have to withstand so much more stress. Wasn’t till the early 00’s that anyone got serious about them.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 weeks ago:
I drove one of the first semi trucks with an automatic transmission, and that thing was dangerous. It would pop me out of gear going down hill, thank fuck the brakes held out. The reverse gear could either roll the rig back at 10 inches per hour, or 10mph, and not much in-between.
Was nice being able to sip a coffee through traffic tho

What i suspect happens is, a good design gets made. It is then “improved” by the M.B.A. having class.
Then marketing gets their say, useless shit and third party add-ons sloppily slapped on top.
Enter another round of “economizing” and a perfectly good design becomes enshittified.

I’m old enough to remember when people had optimism that people, would, for the most part, become kinder, more intelligent if only they had access to knowledge and education. It turns out people are violent, self destructive, genocidal, but mostly selfish shitheads. I can’t help but feel we have the president we deserve.

I always wonder, if I lead a good and virtuous life, if I could get reincarnated as a resort dog. Just a chill lab that wanders from cabin to cabin, receiving love and snacks, all before taking a nice nap. Then maybe a nice swim.
