It’s been 30 years since I used mega blocks, but damn they sucked.
I’ve always wondered if it was QC, or if there was some material properties of Lego that made them so much better? Like can they use tighter tolerances because of better plasticity/flexibility of their material?
Lol, imagine telling on yourself THIS HARD about how how little time you spend pondering your orb. JFC
It gets harder the older you get, so keeping it linear actually shows he’s grinding harder the older he gets.
Most can’t. Finger built different.
That’s like pointing out that it’s not historically accurate that Ghandi wants to nuke the planet.
Same. People literally can not comprehend that I accept whole heartedly that I believe many of the things that I do and continue to do to be immoral.
Yeah, maybe I love meat too much and I’m too weak. That has absolutely nothing to do with how I establish my moral compass.
I’d like to be a truely good person, but I’ll be goddamned if the way I do that is lowering the bar to where I already stand.
My grandmother died in a Siberian labour camp for being an academic.
I don’t think it’s a cheap pivot at all. If you want to say “look at all these places where the people there wanted freedom!” While completely ignoring that they were violently surpressing those same scenarios within their own annexed territories? That’s just willful blindness.
Did they support liberation movements in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland etc etc?
It’s so obsessed with UX and negative space, even on a 4k monitor at full screen you still only get like 100 characters line width. It’s a fucking joke.
Problem was it dispersed too quickly in open spaces, it was only effective in confined spaces.
Are they expressed AT CONCEPTION?
I interpreted the sentiment from OP that it was just reframing the reality in either case: the server is going to run, and it’s going to generate heat.
You can either frame that reality as “waste heat is being generated” or “my furnace doesn’t have to work as hard”
I’ll take you at your word that these are the 3 things that you’re most uncomfortable with.
I sincerely hope that these are the three most problematic things, because if true, China really would be nearly a utopia, and I sincerely want such a place to exist.
Considering the 2nd point came with the precondition that you think it’s a problem that is solving itself, and the third is that China isn’t projecting its power enough globally, there is only one outstanding issue for the proletariat being that the economy isn’t centrally planned enough.
With full sincerity I guess if this is your biggest gripe, I don’t know how I reconcile that personally with China’s current and historical trend of net negative migration.
It’s probably clear to you by now, but I am not an expert on China, but I am absorbing and am curious of your perspective.
To me, it appears like with such a rosy view but negative net migration, there must be a reason that statistically speaking, more people would rather leave the system than join it. In the same way that we can hypothesize the existence of a celestial body we haven’t directly observed by it’s gravitational effects on what we know, I wonder why we see net negative migration if there are essentially by your view no material unaddressed issues for the working class?
And I genuinely am asking this question in good faith. I’ll accept with respect any answer you give. In your view is it a global smear campaign that holds people back from migrating or something? Are the people who leave being seduced by false promises? Do you live in China, and if not, what’s holding you back?
Because I’ll say, you and I could comisserate extensively on the failings of western capitalism. I could easily lay out 50 significant issues with the societal organization of most western capitalist democracies. I’m sure you could too. That you only really see one significant unaddressed issue, regardless of if I agree with it, is compelling.
This is the most concise rebuttal and I think you’ve highlighted well where the root of the perceived discord lies.
If one accepts that the CPC represents the working class, then the critique of the unfair comparison via the meme would be viewed as legitimate.
If one contests the original assertion, then it does not. To them, Xi memeing a CEO would look to them more like Musk offing Altman.
Yes, we can accept that we’re all multifaceted. We contain multitudes. We can love some things about a person, and hate others.
Difficulties really only arise when we choose to make the broadest judgements into the narrowest categories. The whole must be good, the whole must be bad.
I hate how brutal he can be. I love how brutal he can be.
I think people are too obsessed with assigning a binary state to a whole human. It’s downright offensive.
