/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
The moderate position between medical science and ideology is still nonsense.
Puberty is life altering. My body was permanently changed by testosterone in ways that I can never fix and now I have to live the rest of my life with those scars.
Trust doctors.
Another boneheaded triangulation move from Biden. Stop giving ground to the enemy. All they do is use your compromise as a starting point to force further compromise. Give them nothing.
I’ll bite.
No, they won’t literally read brain waves to find out your secrets. Instead maybe they’ll have an AI model trained on data from your life and then use it to simulate the things you might be thinking.
Sure, that’ll lead to false convictions, but they don’t give a shit lol
Are there Holocaust survivors coming out in favor of the genocide? Surely they’ve found at least one, right?
The Golan Heights, probably.
This is in the West Bank.
Hamas wanted hostages. Corpses are worthless at best and counterproductive at worst.
millennials ruined smuggling 😔
Is “smuggle” really the right word here? Did Iran hide them under their luggage?
The ability to rest in climate control is going to give them an unfair advantage.
The CPC still maintains a lot of influence over companies even when they’re getting their funding from private industry as part of their “politics in command” strategy for controlling market forces. We’ll see how it plays out.
Do you really think the US doesn’t view the world solely through the lens of rivalry? That’s the underlying logic of capitalism: there are only winners and losers. Cooperation and partnership are temporary arrangements of convenience, they can always change and lists like this are one of the ways the US determines who’s next.
That’s why they use such an inflammatory term like “manipulator” - it’s meant to intimidate.
It doesn’t matter if any of them present a legitimate threat, all that matters is they’re in the way.
Hypocrisy is always in the hypocrite’s best interest. It’s for keeping track of rivals. There are no real partners.
There are consequences for being on the list, though, so it’s not just an internal accounting term.
This is such a stupid concept.
Every nation with currency sovereignty manipulates its currency. The Federal Reserve itself is constantly going on about the things it’s doing to change the value of the dollar and trying to address trade deficits! Yet if someone else does it it’s “unfair”
Also, how the fuck is Germany on the list? They’re on the Euro! They can’t even control their own currency! What manipulation?
This is literally just a list of countries that are doing well and America is mad about it.
“US pledges to let Israel drag it into WW3”
So I’m not sure what you think my point was.
I’m not saying the US is attacking China for having a green transition. I know it’s just to protect business interests.
And yet their gas cars are not being sanctioned. Doesn’t that strike you as strange? What’s the difference?
Not exactly, they can mind control you into being happy your boss steals your wages tho
