Your pain receptors fire at some fixed threshold so anything beyond that very suddenly gets uncomfortable.

Obviously it’s because China and North Korea, being totalitarian dictatorships, have made suicide illegal and punishable by death!

(I have literally met someone who thought that suicide is punishable by death in China. Like if you try to kill yourself and survive they’ll finish the job for you.)

China has a really high population so the total count numbers are going to seem high.

The second column tells you that it’s a whopping 0.6% of China’s population while every other country is between 2.7% and 8.5%. Guess which country is the 8.5%

I know I’m reading too much into this meme but just houses is not enough. There also needs to be easily accessible and comprehensive mental health/addiction treatment because those are pretty big contributors to homelessness, and especially housed people becoming homeless. From reading some of the accounts from the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver for example, people actively looking to get clean are being told to wait months before treatment is available, and people routinely overdose and die while on waitlists for rehab.

And if we take yet another step back, the even more important step is to address what exactly causes people to fall into addiction in the first place. A lot of the time that cause is related to the exploitative and soul crushing existence under capitalism.

Just the fact that financial crimes over a certain amount are punishable by death in China (and people have actually been executed for them) says a lot. It’s a law that literally applies only to the rich because a normal person would never even get to glimpse the amount of money required for execution to be on the table.

OneDrive scans all the files on your computer regardless of whether you use it or not.

Just delete the software and only use it from your browser.

Or just delete Windows and use Linux.

And when China befriends them by checks notes not acting batshit insane on the world stage, the Americans will be complaining about how China is trying to manipulate the world like they haven’t been doing that.

“Our malware is limited by the browser sandbox, please install the native version of our malware.”

YES APPS THAT TRACK YOU ARE OBJECTIVELY MALWARE

Get a single board computer or a used micro PC and install Linux on it.

That’s really impressive but has massive security implications.

the PDF file format supports Javascript with its own separate standard library. Modern browsers (Chromium, Firefox) implement this as part of their PDF engines.

This is something that really shouldn’t exist. I can’t imagine the legitimate uses for this outweigh the ways to abuse it.

Documents shouldn’t be allowed to run code. Ever.

Incidentally, anyone know which Firefox flag to set to disable running JS in PDFs entirely?

Would solve all of the operational problems inside the Inside Out brain-factory-thing.

Nothing’s stopping you. You won’t be missed.

It is how kids are

Hellll no. Have you seen how cruel kids are to each other in school? If you show any amount of weakness or insecurity or difference from the norm, everyone will gang up on you and make your life hell. There are literally cases of children being driven to suicide or developing mental illness due to bullying. Kids derive pleasure from making their peers feel inferior to them, much more so than adults. Kids are also some of the most intolerant, us-vs-them people, spread rumours because they think it’s fun to put down someone else, pretend to warm up to people they perceive as useful to themselves and throw them away as soon as their usefulness is depleated (copying homework is probably the most common example), threaten their friends with ostracism to make them fall in line, say horrible things to people they don’t know on the internet, exploit the ignorance of their peers to scam them (ever had someone try to convince you that a really rare trading card is actually a terrible one, and they’re being so kind to trade you for something better to take that bad card off your hands?), straight up steal stuff from their peers, etc etc. Nice kids are not a given, they are a small minority and their parents have to carefully mould those attributes into them. Kids left to their own devices with insufficient parental discipline are horrible, which implies that their default nature is one of selfishness and cruelty, not compassion.

That’s when they can’t think of any good arguments against you so they start gas lighting you and insinuating that you’re just cranky so your opinions aren’t valid

“What is my purpose?”

“None. You don’t get executed ever because the very first thing I do upon getting a new computer is boot into UEFI and install Linux.”

Complaining about China or AI stealing jobs while under capitalism is like complaining about blood loss from stab wounds killing people while there’s a serial killer on the loose.

Bruh, mass deportions were LITERALLY THE FIRST STEP ON THE PLAN THE NAZIS HAD WRITTEN DOWN on how they would kill all the Jews.

Also, Einstein was offered a position as leader of the State of Israel. He basically said “fuck off and fuck Zionism.”

Nazis deserve exactly as much mercy and tolerance as they give to others.
