New service: Uber-Giving

Google supposedly pays out 50% of their ad income. Theoretically they would need twice the ads.

And they feed fish products to cows and chickens. The mercury should be there, too.

To look good for work, obviously!

Visit lemmy.zip and give it a try.

It would be outsourced to independent contractors who bid for the jobs and undercut each other.

Be honest, you just hope that the sheer amount of resources will lead to some country finally finish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd

Sorry, that was meant hypothetically and not personal. I meant that the Russian situation is always possible. The state always thinks that his actions are justified while the citizens may have other preferences.

That’s your preference for punishment.

What I was wondering was if your sister could prefer to be called an asshole by a friend over being called one by you. Perhaps she hopes that your disagreements don’t escalate and that you perceive her needs not as annoying but as valid.

Or speaking about China, being able to feel safe in one’s own country could be more valuable than the losses from leaked information to China.

and stepping on personal rights.

The racial make-up of the prison population suggests that the lead is not that big.

Of course, but what would she prefer?

a) It is entertaining because it reflects reality

b) They don’t because if they were I couldn’t assume that most parents would assume that their children will become capable of doing chores.

Sounds like sealioning to me.

Maybe. I just wanted to see if you had put some thoughts to it.

Most parents think so and yet the meme is upvoted. What gives you the confidence that she will be capable?

… souls were free

maybe less captured.

How will your daughter do the chores once she lives alone and you are not around?

Rampant capitalism won’t save them there.

That’s why they have an advantage over the west. They can put a limit to the Capitalism.

Compare China to other countries that were poor in the 1970ies and China becomes impressive.

The USSR tried without billionaires and they are gone.

Europe has good healthcare because we had to look good compared to eastern Europe. We are cutting costs and in 10 years we likely will be much closer to the US system.

They are not treated like Iraq or Iran. That alone is a success, for every citizen.

The difference to the West is that the party stands above the billionaires. That means they have working healthcare despite billionaires.

IMHO China is a more capitalist country than the USA. 12h workdays 6 days a week

Communism doesn’t mean that everybody can slack off. If people don’t work enough it’s difficult for them to catch up with Capitalism, like USSR and Eastern Europe have shown.

All that work has paid off for China. Unlike any other country they have a shot at being independent from the West.

Capitalism means that the people who control the means of production also control politics. That’s not true in China, so that people there can hope for a better life despite AI and robots.

What expansion?

Russia says that they were promised no Nato expansion in Eastern Europe like there was a commitment to no Nato troops in East Germany.

If there weren’t countries invading other ones, no one would need to join NATO, as it is a defensive alliance.

How can countries protect themselves if they are attacked by Nato or Nato countries?
