Am I a weirdo to thinks about turning my head to the left, not the back of my head to the right?

This doesn’t seem intuitive

I point out, not even China does this (in the vast majority of cases, I’m not gonna claim it’s never happened)

People who go on holiday to the USA have something wrong in their brains.

The landscapes, food and historical locations would be cool to see, but man, it’s bloody dystopian.

Wtf, I knew this guy was a nutter, but never really knew that much about him.

The USA is so screwed holy balls.

If it makes you feel any better, most pipe standards around the world are based on the American system, as well as bloody valve coefficients.

I am far too aware that 1" is 25.4 mm :(

And I’m in Australia. Grumble

Excel masochists contemplating an attachment to an app from such a shitty company: 👀

Can’t use OpenOffice Calc at work, so, I shall at least enjoy my kinks

Don’t leave late. Lobby your politicians for sensible transport infrastructure (i.e. not just cars)

There is no excuse, but people normalise the hell out of it

“No war but the class war” strikes again

It just hits differently auf deutsch… meine Kerle.

I’m a big defender of China when the “China Bad” crowd comes out, but this graph is meaningless beyond what people’s perceptions are.

Real trade unions are banned. All must be part of the party, workers rights are routinely not enforced, and given the lattitude the government has to act, there isn’t really much of an excuse.

The CCP enjoy massive support, though, this is undeniable. The reasons for this support is debatable and vary from person to person.

I for one, very much enjoy when the Chinese government does things in line with my socialist ideals. But let’s not pretend like they’re actually keeping the capitalists in check. There are many, many billionaires in China, something that ought not be possible under an actual socialist country.

It doesn’t take a genius to look at their system of voting to quickly conclude that you don’t really have a say, the People’s Congress functions as a rubber stamp for what the inner party has already decided.

Again, my opinions aside, people in China generally are supportive of the government at this present time.

I feel like this is shifting the focus to imperialism, where the US is overwhelmingly and undeniably worse.

However, domestically, if you wanna pretend that someone as a random citizen, has any chance of receiving political representation in China, well you enjoy your fantasy.

The US and China are both deeply undemocratic places. I’m saying this as someone from neither country.

Anyone who’s actually been to China would know this. It is authoritarian. It’s not even something viewed as bad by most people in China. It’s just the way things are there.

There is pretty strong support for the government there, albeit that could be argued as product of censorship, repression and also genuine support. Many see the CCP as having done a lot of good things which they are grateful for, which in addition to the bad things, in fairness, they have done.

I’m getting kinda tired of some leftists knee jerking “China Good”, just as much as I’m getting kinda tired of the “China Bad” crowd, when the truth is neither wholly good nor wholly bad.

We can be leftists and not have a hard-on for any country claiming to be socialist, you know

Old Testament God is a petty asshole

At least old Testament God was straight up about being an arsehole. People are pretending like sending people to hell for eternity because you had the audacity to grow up not in a Christian household, isn’t straight up narcissistic behaviour.

Believe in me with no evidence, otherwise I’m damning you for all time. Even if I’m the one who let you be born into a particular region or family.

If God were a person, he’d have no friends.

(Just me being salty)

I just wish it could have been longer, and affected my company (it didn’t). A day or two off would have gone down a treat

What the hell

It is quite upsetting. I agree.

And famously they fired all QAs years ago so there’s nobody to test before releasing.

It all makes sense now.

There’s no QA to bonk people on the head.

Who the fuck’s idea was Outlook (New)? Like half the features don’t exist. And some of the actually useful new features simply don’t work (looking at you," pop-out" reading pane view option. Where’s my popped out reading pane Microsoft??? Did ya forget to test it? Turns out, yes)

Because of using Shelter, this will make my phone practically unusable.

This is fucking ridiculous

You’re gonna get Gilead with that playbook

Okay Yoomer
