damn that sucks I was just about to do wholesome fun things today before i remembered about gendered guilt activism 
hm, i wonder if the world's largest population of online gamers might have a proportionally larger number of cheaters.
the y-axis ticks could even be fractional, or dB scale, who knows with this quality of presentation
+20 dB (deciballs) / decade
The 18-to-25 set is annoyed about climate change, student loans, abortion bans and Gaza. Why on Earth would they think a Biden win would help?
this video has such pristine white tech boy vibes, you'd never know this guy was actually cool. Except for that mao book 
NOOO I missed it
Your understanding of Chinese infrastructure isn't rigorous if it's entirely based on some sensationalist viral videos of some places which look bad. Yeah, it's a massive country with a billion people, some of those places look bad in a video. I'm not happy about the bad construction you see there, nor the real estate speculation causing some of it (which isn't a communist feature).
You can find lots of videos of places in the US and Canada looking bad too, only it's like cops destroying the tents and property of unhoused people in the streets. But in response to those we might say "oh that's terrible, they should fix that" and not the "we gotta overthrow the authoritarian government" when it's about China.
Ah but they posted the Reuters article maliciously. In a scheming, tankie sort of way.
I see this one a lot.
I seriously don't understand why so many of you dickride Russia, other than "west bad". The current Russian government is antithetical to so many of the values you claim to champion.
Seriously, who? Who is "dickriding Russia because west bad"? The current state of Russia is the result of the USSR's undemocratic dissolution and the subsequent shock doctrine, obviously it's antithetical to our values. Everyone knows that. People aren't being blinded by "west bad" - because they generally aren't literal children who can only understand the world in terms of good guys and bad guys. What they're doing is critically analyzing media and history.
Hate to employ the dreaded whataboutism, but it seems to me this critique applies more to the opposite side. You say people are "Slotting nicely into Russia's playbook", "parroting Kremlin propaganda". On their own, these are empty thought-terminators. You're not concerned about understanding reality, just about making absolutely sure you're 100% not on "Russia's side" of this issue, because they're the bad guys in this dichotomy.
I seriously don't understand why so many of you dickride the west, other than "Russia bad". The current western governments are antithetical to so many of the values you claim to champion.
mfw they close down the dog-kicking factory, destroying thousands of honest jobs

Sometimes there's a real humdinger of a comment, like a real 
that I'd like to reply to, but I find that it only shows up on lemmy.ml and not here. Is that expected behaviour?
Here, I'll post an article as well, hopefully nobody "makes themselves scarce" because of it: https://redsails.org/another-view-of-tiananmen/
marketable slop, oh well 
A blue LED behind the green lenses actually gives a more interesting effect than a green LED, sincs it seems these lenses fluoresce subtly under the blue light.
I still have to paint, weather, finish the wiring, etc. which knowing me will take me a few weeks/decades 
. Usually, I'd just attach this to a base and run all the wires along the base arm to hide them. Only recently I found out about powering the LEDs wirelessly, which sounds way cooler...
As opposed to our famously robust capitalist economy which never has shortages and efficiently allocates resources to the most critical needs, of course.
