That isn’t even the message, the message is “our workers don’t have lives because they are so dedicated”

I could accept being a t-rex that gets tired after running, plenty of humans live meaningful lives with asthma, despite not being t-rexes.

They promised he would be a dinosaur, and he became a chicken (sandwich)?
I wouldn’t fall for the same trick. Gotta specify which dinosaur or youll get something lame like a brontosaur.

capitalism will solve climate change
Tangential, but thats what disgusted me about the Osaka world expo. The theme was sustainability so you had fossil fuel companies presenting wildly impractical “solutions” and art projects. The message was “things are under control, continue sleepwalking into oblivion”

- Comment on Taiwan refuses to move half of U.S.-bound chip production to American shores — trade discussion to be focused on Section 232 investigation for preferential deal on semiconductors 1 week ago:
I mean sure but they’re also more likely to agree to give America all their resources, factories, and launch kamikazee attacks against mainland China until their population is expended under a dem president than Trump.
Either has a likelihood of approximately zero because it literally only benefits the US at the expense of Taiwan, and the US influence of its puppet government is only so strong, we still need to contend with local politics.

TSMC produces 3nm chips, SMIC has less economic yields for their 7nm process. I have little doubt they will eventually figure out DUV or some alternative technique, but for now they are still 3-5 years behind.

Why would the Taiwan government give up half of its leverage for US defense and investment if Kamala was president?

They had literally agreed to surrender before the first bomb dropped, their only condition being that the emperor remain, which the US agreed to anyway.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 weeks ago:
Kind of. That’s not really reconciled with the a general impression that the US won every single battle, and couldn’t find any more enemies to fight, because the Vietnamese would run away and hide in the woods or among the locals and the US only lost the war at home.

No, they literally taught that the romans feasted so much they had special rooms for vomiting in. One of my aunts was incredulous that it was no longer taught, and insisted she had been to rome and saw the vomitoria, and remains convinced that it’s just some new theory by some fringe historian.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 weeks ago:
Rome didn’t have special rooms for people to vomit in, then resume feasting.
Soviet blocking brigades weren’t machine gun nests set up to mow down retreating soviet soldiers.
Vietnam had a regular army, it wasn’t entirely a guerrilla force.

Same deal with Lake Placid, NY and Hakuba, Nagano, you ask anyone who’s been in a snow area since the 70s about how impassible people’s yards became from the snow when they were in their 20s. At least Sapporo got snow this year.

For less insane religions and catholicism, they have centuries of philosophy and reinterpretation to fit new societal contexts to look back on.

Do people actually hold that against you? The worst I’ve had to do was explaining that most Americans don’t support Trump, Elon is a Nazi (they didn’t get the memo in east asia), and then contextualizing whatever other weird impressions they have.

No justice system lets the accused judge their own guilt, but the US admitted those guys were spies.
- Comment on Political discourse 3 weeks ago:
I just defaulted to USA because it’s where I and (I think) most lemmitors are from.
In any case, it’s trivial not to get abducted and murdered, simply don’t commit espionage.
It’s weird that you only single non-western countries out when most countries treat espionage pretty seriously.
- Comment on Political discourse 3 weeks ago:
That’s a bizarre claim to make when America has been abducting people, torturing them, and vanishing them, without due process for decades, and I am not aware of such a case happening in any of those 3 countries. Except in 2012, when China caught the CIA’s spy network and charged them with espionage.
As far as the bloody history goes, tge blood is only on the hands of the side that invaded and subjugated them.
