I picked China from skimming your comment history. Have you defended North Korea? jfc

Discredit the truth by burying it in lies. China did take Hong Kong and suppress protesters against their will. Same with Tibet. They want Taiwan but going after that right now could give Trump a just war and they’d rather see the US shoot itself in the foot in the international space. The more extreme stuff against China may just be propaganda that China itself created to discredit the more reasonable claims. The same way that the US government spread rumors about aliens at Area 51 to discredit the sighting of spyplane testing.

I think it’s your defense of China that’s getting you called a tankie.

They have to use the word Pod wherever they can. It makes it sound like a new idea.

I linked a video that want into more detail, but Asmon was repeating a bad report that Afericans have a 70IQ. Even when the test wasn’t made for them and it’s dishonest to think that a different in IQ is meaningful in this instance, that’s still a dishonest number.

I don’t know about that, but there are several people swilding rich people on that front. I hope Musk’s chest pops from all the HGH he’s taking.

Let people drive safely.

There were people going maskless during covid because they already caught covid and were only interested in protecting themselves.

Yes. Firstly, iq tests have a bias to the culture that created them. It’s based on the sorts of problems that that culture values. You can’t use it to compare to different populations with different cultures.

Secondly, depending on what source you found, the study might have been run by racists with an agenda.

Thirdly, Africa is a huge continent with wildly varying cultures. You can just average those results together and get anything useful out of it, unless you have a racist agenda.

Him and his fans deserve to be mocked. The next time you interact with a fan of his, ask them why he wont take an IQ test on stream if thinks Africans naturally have a lower IQ.

The Citadel. I didn’t realize how fast the combat loop was at first. The first level was setup like a stop and pop shooter, but it’s really a run and gun style.

Let the Election Commissions handle the draft selection process. Voters will be given a receipt of their ballot they can use to dispute a draft notice if they think they don’t deserve to be called to serve in a war they voted against. All people are automatically registered to vote, so non-voters can’t fly under the radar.

The benefit of tying draft selection to voting history greatly outweighs whatever theoretical privacy anyone has anymore. Young people who voted against wars shouldn’t be getting dragged into conflicts the elderly and privileged are pushing for.

As long as the people who voted for whatever winning party get priority. Then the non-voters.

What “freedoms” does he think are being threatened by Iran?

I was there too. It wasn’t a term because marketers didn’t invent the term yet. Key part, it was Marketers that invented the term. Marketers didn’t care before they found a way to use it to manipulate people. You can argue that those thing are “social media”, but not in anyway that makes social media a problem.

Who would be the ones to do it in lemmy? People are switching to federated options to guard against that.

Is it Social Media if there’s no algo? No one called IRC or old forums “social media” when they were at their heights.

Both of those are federated options with no central company behind them. They have issues, but not because they have a corporate algorithm feeding their users.

I’m going to have to check my mother’s phone.

If you think you’ll able to wait this out, you might be surprised.
