I watch basketball clips and follow the drama. Don’t know a single thing about The sport otherwise. I become interested when my city is winning then never care if they’re losing.

I have a habit of getting a crush on the female athletes in the Olympics, so there are times when I suddenly become interested in gymnastics, skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, etc.

Unfortunately they don’t. I think after the Hatred game debacle, they released new policies saying people can post whatever they want as long as it’s genuine and not trolling, but I think this applies to games only. As for everything else, the company is extremely libertarian and hands off with leadership, development, and moderation. You can find hundreds of neo nazi grooming steam groups, and one of them was in the news a few years back for being where two canadian neo nazi murderers met

The US is scaremongering over Chinese projects in Cuba (gasp, mutual government agreements), especially those near Guantanamo Bay (how dare they!). They portray it as military/spy bases, but the meme implies that the categorization is false and the only bases China is building are baseball bases, and baseball is a cherished Cuban sport.

This is fine but they often flood the community board with bigoted content and those aren’t removed by Valve either, and they show up on everyone’s dashboard depending on configuration.

His face had then an uncanny valley quality that injectable aficionados call “low trust” — if only by millimeters, his cosmetically altered proportions knocked his overall facial harmony into the realm of the improbable. His thin skin, long a figurative problem and now a literal one, was pulled tightly over cheeks that seemed to vary month to month in volume. Under artificial light and in the sunshine, he took on an unnatural gleam. He looked, well, inflated. His eyes were half-shut or open very wide. They appeared darker than they once had, his pupils dilated. He did not blink at regular intervals.

His face had a waxy quality. He smiled. It was a sweet smile. It made me sad in a way I can’t fully convey.

This is just the normal human reaction to seeing someone physically and mentally incapable being pressured to perform. Even though I have no problem with trying and hanging every Nazi regardless of age, it’s just sad to see an old man who cannot even comprehend the weight of his actions or even remember what he did 3 minutes ago. At this age and capacity, you just make sure he has a decent remaining of life if he’s your nice grandpa, or quickly shoot him if he’s a fascist war criminal.

There have been old ass reports that OnePlus phones sold domestically in China do have backdoor technology, but security experts weren’t able to detect anything in foreign exports. The CIA also said they couldn’t find anything malicious in TikTok, so it’s likely that China doesn’t want to rock the boat with export business.

Have they considered learning basic economics?

Gunpowder is the foundation for ammunition, but in the US only two companies manufacture it - as in, there are only two factories. Other brands just resell their gunpowder under a new name like how every grocery brand comes from the same factory

A lot of steel, lead, and primer chemicals come from China as well

The US also doesn’t have the capacity to build internet infrastructure like Huawei. The US forced poor rural communities to tear down Huwei equipment and couldn’t even come up with half of the funding required to replace it with American equipment.

Remember how Ukraine jumped to like #3 on democracy index after the invasion lol

Doritos and watermelons are good snacks for extreme sports like paragliding
