Okay.

Yes

“dog farmers”, holy shit :(

What’s your proposed solution?

I heard shot wounds to the stomach are a painful death.

Why is it necessary to enact such a law in a foreign country? Germany isn’t even on the same continent.

Kbin kept logging me out. At some point, it got so annoying, I deleted my bookmark.

Congratulations, Poland. Finally getting away from the “problematic democracy” label.

I love his dramatic facial expression :)

First result, searching from Japan. Maybe it’s very specific to Korea.

None of your business.

Xi has focussed his efforts mostly in Beijing. The Shanghai clique is no more, and standards are declining accordingly.

Please don’t assume everyone commenting here only has a very blurry view from afar.

Xi already failed to build a legacy with his zero COVID policy, and things are rapidly getting worse economically. Fighting a war is traditionally a good way to distract the people, especially if it’s Taiwan. I doubt it being unpopular or people dying phases him much. He’s a dictator very much like Mao, who couldn’t care less about millions of dead Chinese people. For them, it’s all about power, not about his people. The CCP isn’t interested in bettering their living conditions at all.

Sure, but I’d rather Google spy on me to market my data for targeted ads than a country that runs literal concentration camps and is just across the Taiwan strait, basically a stone’s throw from where I live.

WTF. Poor girl.

It’s a Chinese state company, and China has a vested interest in controlling,or at least influencing Afghanistan, so Russia can’t.

If Trump makes it again, the chance of worldwide chaos is scary high. Russia escalating the European conflict, China reaching for Taiwan, and we’re not even halfway through the list.

Are there no actual news, do we have a need for panic articles yet?

I used to have Spotify. Figured I’m using YouTube more, so I switched to premium and cancelled Spotify instead. Was a good decision for me, but not everyone watches as much. It’s basically my main source of entertainment.

Many great reasons to not allow them to build it, zero to do it.
